lays, where he will be vieing for
the 20-year-old Drake high jump
record of 6 feet, 6 inches.
The only event that the Aggies
did get shut out was the shot put
and that was easily iced by Bill
Blackburn, Rice football star,
whose toss of 49 feet, % inch,
missed the existing conference
record by 1 foot, % inches.
Zeigler Runs Good Time
Another surprise, although not
a big one, was Johnny Zeigler’s
time of 9:50.6 in the 2-mile run.
The record, set in 1925 by Sandy
Esquival, Texas’ great, was 9 min
utes, 32 seconds, and it has been
a long time since anyone has run
under 10 minutes. However, Zeig
ler has been running consistently
under 10 and some quarters con
tend that the little Aggie trackster
has more than an even chance to
equal or break the 17-year-old rec
ord.

The following little poem is
dedicated to the sports writers,
publicity men, etc., who constantly
criticize our band, corps, and us
in general:
I knew a little critic,
Everyone called him Red.
And everytime he opened
His mouth, he sounded like a dope,
No matter what he said . . .
—DISTRACTIONS—
(Conttnuod from Pag* f)
an international radio hookup and
shortly interference in the ship
ments is noticed. So FBI agent
Brent and Scotland Yardsman
Basil Rathbone seek out the es
pionage ring responsible for the
work.
The scene shifts from England
to America, but the search con
tinues. The ending of the story is
a trifle weak, but it does not de
tract greatly from the film as a
whole. “International Lady” is
filled with action in such a way
that is bound to prove enjoyable.
Some pictures need no special
recommendations. Their good
name has preceded them by many
weeks in advance. Such a picture
is “JOHNNY EAGER” at Guion
Hall today and tomorrow. Featur
ing a new romance team, Robert
Taylor and Lana Turner the story
is really a success, in a number
of ways.
Even though Taylor seems out
of place in this his first gangster
rqle, he really does a wonderful
job as the hardened criminal who
on the surface ekes out living as
a taxi driver, but underneath is
a leader of a dog-racing track.
To get permission, legal or ille
gal to establish his track,' he
frames a murder on Lana, daugh
ter of District Attorney Edward
Arnold. Later he falls in love with
her so much that reveals to her
that she was framed and had not
killed anyone at all.
Taylor gets the just deserts of
all criminals in the end, bdt the
story is perfect as far as anyone
cares to talk about it. You can’t
go wrong by seeing Taylor and
Turner in “Johnny Eager.”
A survey at Stephens college,
Columbia, Mo., showed 47 per cent
of the 1,750 girls wanted courses
in motor mechanics.

(Continued From Page 1)
heart to know our Texas boys who
are wearing the uniform and who
are under daily attack by the en
emy in Corregidor still carry with
them the spirit of San Jacinto in
the dark hour of their trial.
“They are gallantly fighting the
battles of the republic with a
heroism comparable to that which
activated General Houston and his
little band in the struggle amidst
the smoke of San Jacinto which
established the independence of
our great commonwealth.”
Before General Moore left A. &
M. to take over his Corregidor
command, he selected 35 Aggies
from the class of 1940 to precede
him to the island fortress. Today
those same Aggies are fighting at
the General’s side in what may
prove to be the last stronghold of
the Philippines.
High awards for valor and
bravery in action have been be
stowed upon three A. & M. men
since the outbreak of hostilities.
Capt. James T. Connally received
the Distinguished Service Cross
for leading a bomber squadron
from Java to Mindinao, sinking a
Japanese tanker on the way, and
rescuing 23 pilots who were
stranded on the island.
Another Distinguished Service
Cross went to Lt. Henry C. Ditt-
man for leading a squadron over
an uncharted route to the Philip
pines via India. Major Loius Hobbs
has also been sited for valor in
the air service.
