Another Aggie hit parade is on schedule and will function through out the entire dance. The Hit Parades of former corps dances have had exceptionally good re sults. Long the favorite orchestra of more than a few Aggies and others, the Aggieland was also the pick of the Rice Dance Committee which is sponsoring the dance. Cadets Will Be On North Side Of Owl Stadium Today The Aggies will be seated on the north side of the stadium to wit ness Saturday’s game against the Rice Owls. The senior section will extend from the 25 yard line to the 50 yard line.

NUMBER 30 Owls Expected to Rely on Sophomore Stars Against Ags; Brumley May be Ready By Mike Haikin Battalion Sports Editors Having fought their way up to the No. 1 spot of the Southwest Conference, the Texas Aggies will attempt to protect their perfect record for the season against a danger ous in-and-out Rice Owl team this afternoon in Houston. An anticipated crowd of some 30,000 football hungry fans are expected to attend the game which starts at 2:30. Aggies Crippled For the first time in two years, the Aggie team will go into the fray with three of their first string not in the peak of condition. Triple-threat Derace Moser, the Cadet No. 1 back sustained a slight ankle injury against S. M. U. last week. He missed the hard workouts all week and is not expected to be in top shape for the fracas. It’s a 50-50 chance that Moser will start today, but should he •be out, Leo Daniels, flashy soph omore ace, will take his place Willie Zapalac also was hurt last week, and Coach Homer Norton has indicated that he may move Jake Webster to the blocking back post and insert Andy Andricks in Web ster’s position. Marshall Spivey one of the leading pass receivers in this part of the country, will start at the wingback spot. Simmons To Start The cadet line will also stand a bit of revision on the part of Coach Homer Norton. Jim Sterling, vic ious blocking end, suffered a shoulder injury against S. M. U and may not start. In that cast Boots Simmons will take his place Bill Henderson will take over thi other terminal and is expected to be in the middle of things this af ternoon. It may be remembered that it was . this same Henderson who drove the Owls dizzy on Kyk Field last year with his great pass snagging. This year he is biggei and better and is a threat every time he lays his hands on the ball Another change in the Aggie line will be at the tackle post where Leonard Dickey, sensation- all sophomore lineman will take over Euel Wesson’s spot. The rest (See OWLS, page 4) Senior Team Of Livestock Judges Selected Senior livestock judging team prospects have been working tow ard one goal this year; that of winning the contest at the Inter national Livestock Show.

The group will leave Chicago December 2, and plan to arrive here about midnight December 4. The team has a high goal to achieve in as much as last year’s team walked off the field with the second place banner firmly in hand. Owls 1941 RICE ROSTER Pass The Asoirin Please; Forty-Five Thousand Grades Mailed Out By Registrar Today By Ken Bresnen Forty-five thousand grades were recorded by the registrar’s office Friday night in preparation for mailing the mid-semester reports to the homes of 6500 cadets. Sixty students working at top speed for thirteen or fourteen hours make it possible for the grades of A. & M. students to be sent out faster than those of any other college in the country. , Shortly after registration is fin ished, secretaries in the registrar’s office begin to fill out the forms on which the grades are sent out. It would take one typist about forty days to type all these reports in blank. The blanks for the mid semester reports and for the final semester grades are all typed at one time. Reports are made in triplicate, the first copy being sent to the student’s parents, the second, to the deans of the various schools, and the third to the files in the registrar’s office. The information on the report blanks contains the student’s name, the courses he is taking, and the name and address of the person to whom the grades are sent. The heads of the departments are re quired to have the grades in the registrar’s office by nine o’clock in the morning at which time clerks begin to alphabetize them. This process takes about seven hours. Then students working in pairs begin the recording of the grades on the blanks. In order to prevent errors in the records caused by mis understanding, the clerk who calls the grades uses a language all hi own. Instead of calling letters, ht calls words beginning with the grade letter. The callers jargon might sound like this: “Jone, J. A. Engish 103, Cadillac; Math 101 Dodge; Biology 110, Buick; Chem 101, Ford; History 105, Auburn. When the grades have been re corded the blanks are torn apart, One is placed in an envelope for mailing, another is sent to the •lean. A clerk adds up the hours (See GRADES, page 2) No. Player Home Town Pos. Wt Ht. 10. Buster Roach Fort Worth WB 145 6.9 11. Barron Ellis Houston WB 155 5.8 12. Joe Price Newcastle WB 175 5.11 14.
