Those that heard Jan Savitt last Friday night in Fort Worth are still bleeding. It seems Savitt com mitted the unforgiveable—he used a pickup band for the job, com posed of local musicians. Brother, when a b^nd leader does that, he is really sticking his neck out. The music world is shocked to hear that Ray Eberle isn’t sing ing with G’. Miller any more. Mil ler says it was “due to many acts of misconduct on his part over an extended period of time.” Frank Sinatra is alsof quitting T. Dorsey around early Fall. What’s wrong with these vocalists ? They all seem to be tempermental. Thirty Second Notes In answer to many questions regarding the Aggieland’s fem vo calist. . . . She is Miss Adie Bald win of Houston, who besides sing ing with the Aggieland has sung with Eddie Fitzpatrick, Joe Sudy, Herman Waldman, Peck Kelly and others. . . . Speaking of the Aggieland, in compliance with the many requests from over the state asking for the September holidays, the band is planning a tour to cover the state. If your home town club would like to have the orchestra that week, I advise that you get in touch with the band immediately, as the transportation problem must be worked out for your vicinity. . . The death of Thomas F. Dorsey, Sr., seventy, on July 12th, may unite Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey. They have just organized a song publishing company together. Last minute information finds Ray Eberle singing with Gene Krupa, and Skip Nelson replacing Eberle in Miller’s band. —DISTRACTIONS— (Continued From Page 2) roles. March trails Joan half way around the world, tracking her down as a murderess, and then falls in love with her. He learns her real identity and returns to California and nabs the real mur derer. Ann Sothern plays the part of March’s secretary, in search of half of the $100,000 reward offered for the arrest of Joan. This is a mystery in the lighter vein, being filled with comedy and romance. Skillfully produced and acted, it has the added attraction of a constantly changing back ground consisting of all the remote corners of the world. The Lowdown: —Altaic of many cities. tion, U.S.D.A., for some men trained in marketing or agricultural economics and who have passed the Junior Professional Assistant’s civil service examination. I also have a request from the Nelson Rockefeller organization for some men who have had rather extensive practical experience in agriculture, especially in the production and packing of fruits and vegetables, and who can speak Spanish fluently, to go into Central and South America. These men will be expected to direct practical agricultural operations. Anyone interested in these positions should call at my office or see Professor J. W. Barger, Head of the Agricultural Economics Department.—E. J. Kyle, Dean, School of Agriculture. Texas Negroes Start Production n Farm Livestock A total of 16,873 Texas Negro farm families this year strted pro duction in poultry and livestock for the first time, according to Dr. E. B. Evans of Prairie View, state leader of Negro extension workers in Texas. Reports from 47 of the 51 coun ties having Negro extension agents show that 1,564 farm families ob tained milk from cows for the first time for production of milk for home use. Milk production recently has taken the lead in the all-out war effort, especially among far mers who have bought farm homes through the Farm Security Ad ministration, Dr. Evans says. They are now marketing whole milk for the first time. Juke Box Prom Saturday . . . 35c —KYLE FIELD— (Continued from Page 3) al of 50 former college stars make up Coach Wallace Wade’s West All-Army team. . . Of that 22% or a total of 11 players formerly car ried the mail for the Aggies. . . They are John Kimbrough, Bill Conatser, Dennis Andricks, Jim Thomason, Marion Pugh, Derace Moser, Dog Dawson, Leonard Dick ey, Joe Routt (we mentioned Chip in our last column but a correction has been made), Henry Hauser and Marland Jeffery. . . The rest of the team is fairly evenly divided as far as colleges are concerned. . . Duke and Vanderbilt each have four players on the team, while the rest of the colleges contribute either one or two players. . . Al together there are 27 colleges re presented. . . Here’s how the squad is divided—there are 18 backs, 10 ends, 10 tackles, 7 guards and 5 centers. . . Some of the more fam ous backs besides the Aggies al ready mentioned include Jimmy Nelson, the Alabama lad who rock ed the vaunted Cadets at the Cot ton Bowl last year; Herman Ro- hrig, Nebraska’s ace ball toter; Don Scott, All-American mention from Ohio State and Kay Eakin, Ar kansas’ triple-threat halfback. . . Other well-known football names include Nick Drahos, Cornell tackle; Hank Gude, Vanderbilt center; Holt Rast, Alabama end and Bill Annahu, Santa Clara wingman. . . A little something out of the books, but it concerns one of Aggieland’s popular profs. . . Didja know that Dr. Luther Jones of the Agronomy Department was formerly the wrestling champion of Princeton and Cornell. . . It all happened dur ing World War I days when Doc was working for his degree. . . He’s only a little mite—about 140 lbs.—but apparently plenty rough —I mean physically. . . He’s also a pretty good handball and tennis player. . . —TWILIGHT— (Continued From Page 3) Lipscomb Downs Loupot Liscomb’s Pharmacy, in the meantime, took a one-game ad vantage of Loupot’s when they de feated the latter, 6-3, Thursday evening. A five run rally, marked by wildness and errors on the part of Loupot’s proved to be the tonic that handed Roland Bing’s boys their defeat. They came back fight ing in the latter stages of the tilt, but all that proved in vain as pit cher Andy Cokinos of the Phar macy scattered five blows through seven innings. Scoring four runs in the sixth inning of play, the Campus Clean ers scored their other win over Campus Theatre Thursday night by the score of 6-3. Again, as last night, the Theatre took a short lived lead of 2-0 but pitcher Willie Zalapac contacted a wild streak and coupled with some ragged out field playing on the part of the losers, Campus Cleaners soon sow ed up the game. Play Today Liscomb’s Pharmacy meets the Loupot’s Traders in the second game this evening with Walter Shaw or Johnny Hejl on the mound for the latter and Donald Puntch the probable flinger for Kyle Drake’s crew. Game time is 7 o’clock sharp. NOTICE All Barber Shops Off the Campus Will Stay Open Every Thursday and Friday Night Until 8:00 P. M.

They are composed entirely of war stamps of small denomination, and cost very little more than regular corsages. Because of metal shortages, and the present price of jewelry of all sorts, the dance committee has de cided to replace the usual favors and programs with a better, more beautiful program. These programs will serve as favors and will make just as good a favor as metal ones formerly purchased, says Swofford. Sbisa hall will be used instead of The Grove because of the in creased privacy, and the ease of decorating the dance floor without having to worry about rain. Huge crossed sabers, mirrored to reflect a miriad of colored lights, will hang from the ceiling, and lighting will be restricted to color ed lights strung around the edge of the dance floor much like those at the Junior Prom last year. “Herbie Kay has one of the best bands now touring the country, and we think that the Cavalry Regiment, by having Kay, will have the best orchestra for their ball and the corps dance following of the entire social season,” Swof ford said. Kay will probably play a Town Hall program early in the evening before the ball, and will play for the Corps Dance the next Saturday night. —HISTORY— (Continued From Page 1) and a curriculum providing great flexibility had been installed. By the 1920’s a new era in education had dawned, and Texas A. & M. was at the helm. Colleges and Universities all over the world are now patterning their courses and programs after the ideals set forth by Senator Morrill, and stu dents will learn something besides earning their degrees by sitting in classrooms. A. & M. will turn out students who have a place in the world, who will be at home in all lands and ages, and who will count the wonders of nature a familiar friend and art a familiar acquaintance. Thus, that white-haired man, who dared defy the conventions of a conventional age, indirectly usher ed in a golden age of learning—an age lead by the Agricultural and Mechanical Colleges of the United States. If a man makes a better mouse trap in these times, he is made an honorary Lieutenant in the Navy— Austin American. A Loupot Trade Is MONEY MADE H CAC 13, MG Cav. 0 B CWS 24, Hdq. S. C. 0 " E R.
