Eventually peace settles once more on Sheepshead Bay. This picture should provide a small amount of thought from each of us. It was adapted for the screen from Irwin Shaw’s play, “The Gentle People.” It has been well done and represents the bet ter side of Hollywoodiana. A brilliant splash of tropical col or is the eye-filler in the thin story about Alice Faye and John Payne in “WEEK-END IN HA VANA” at the Campus tomorrow and Monday. In addition, Carmen Miranda and Cesar Romero keep things sizzling with those famous song-and-dance numbers. The lavish use of the technicolor and Cuban music helps to over come greatly the lack of weight in the plot, which is practically nonexistent. On the whole, the show should prove most entertain ing with Carmen to liven up the scene continually. Westbrook, C. H.—PLACEMENT BU REAU, Association of Former Students.

He was the nearest to a one-man team in the conference, and when he, caught the flu in the final game with Rice, and could not play, S. M. U. was defeated. Many Other Backs There are many more backs that deserve a lot of praise for their excellent work this year. For ex ample, Texas’ Vernon Martin was the best blocking back in the con ference, but just did not have enough to beat the above quartet. Marshall Spivey of the Aggies was a great pass defense man, Jack Wilson was the big star of the Baylor Bears, Brumley of Rice too was great, and so on down the line. But the quartet of backs, Moser, Crain, Layden, and John ston, just can’t be beaten. Now for those unheralded heroes of the gridiron—the linemen. Lead ing the all-conference forward wall are such stalwarts as Jim Sterling and Mai Kutner at ends, Martin Ruby and Darrell Palmer at tackles, Bill Sibley at center, and Chal Daniel and Art Goforth at guards. The above seven linemen could play on any first team in the coun try. The combination of blocking and tackling is present all around. There will be some argument as to the choice of some of the lime- ment, but we are sure nobody could find any better men than Martin Ruby and Darrell Palmer at tackl es and Bill Sibley, the Aggies’ dy namic center. Ruby in our point of view is the best tackle in the whole nation, having every valu-1 able trait any coach would want. I He has been unanimously picked' on every all-opponent team, prov ing once and for all that he is the! best tackle in the nation. Darrell Palmer of T. C. U. is close on his heels, as he has been the spark plug of the Frog forward wall all year. His best performance was in the Texas game which T.C.U. won, 14-7. Sibley is one of the best de fensive centers in the history of the conference, ranking alongside such greats as Ki Aldrich, Charlie DeWare, and Darrell Lester. His offensive work has been his main weakness but he has shown im provement each week. Mark him down for All-America next year. Jim Sterling and Mai Kutner ARE the best ends in the confer ence. Sterling is one of the best blocking wingmen in the South west, while Kutner can do every thing more than creditably. Chal Daniel and Art Goforth at guards make up a pair that can’t be beat en at blocking or tackling. —OKLAHOMA— (Continued from Page 3) crosswires of a directorscope the destruction of gunnery targets at sea, miles away.

DNIFORM TAILOR SHOP MENDL & HORNAK North Gate War Department Seeks 100 Armoured Force Instructors For Duty at Fort Knox; Positions Offered by Examination WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 32 —Instructors are being sought by the War Department for its Armor ed Force School at Fort Knox, Ky. Approximately 100 positions are to be filled through the civil-service examination, it was announced by the Civil Service Commission to day. The examination announcemen just issued covers five grades of positions with salaries ranging from $2,000 for junior instructors to $4,600 a year for senior instruc tors. Optional branches of instruc tion for which persons are being sought are radial engines, internal combustion engines, motorcycles, automotive (chassis less the en gine), radio operating, and radio electrical. Instructors will plan the courses of instruction, prepare and revise text material, and con duct classes in these options. Ins truction in the maintenance, re pair and overhaul of all mobile ar mored combat equipment of the Armored Force is to be given. It is expected that most appoint ments will be made to the junior instructor positions. However, there is excellent opportunity for ad vancement inasmuch as it is the policy of the School to fill the higher-grade positions by promo tion whenever possible. Shop experience or technical ex perience—including some as a shop foreman or responsible instructor— in one of the specific optional branches of instruction is neces sary. In addition for senior instruc tors, two years of experience is re quired. For part of the general shop or technical experience, ap plicants may substitute successful ly completed study in a residence course in engineering in a univers ity or technical school, or in a tea cher-training course in vocational education, trade and industrial edu cation, or industrial arts. No writ ten test is to be given; however, af ter an initial rating on applicant’s education and experience, an oral test may be given to a sufficient number of eligibles to meet the needs of the School. ^ Best Christmas Wishes As we approach another holiday season we have the pleasant privilege of looking beyond the business transactions of the year, and counting our profits in new friendships formed and old friendships strength ened. — To expres our appreciation of those friendships, and the confidence invested in us . . . — To give assurance of increased efficiency for serv ing our friends during the coming year : : : — To express the good wishes of the season.
