A thrilling softball game between
E and D Field Artillery ended in
an 11-11 deadlock. Going into the
final inning with a two-run lead,
the E Fielders suddenly collapsed,
and coupled with some wildness on
the part of the pitchers let in the
tying runs. The bases were still
loaded with none down when Red
Schaper came in from his first
base post to snuff the rally out
by whiffing the last three batters.
This is the second game between
the two team that has ended in a
tie. Another game will, however,
be played to determine the winner.

Gestapo Hunts in the Sewers of Paris
This is one of the exciting episodes of “Joan of Paris,” RKO Radio’s highly dramatic and romantic
adventure film of life in France under the German occupation. Telling the story of a Parisian girl’s
love and sacrifice for an RAF ^lier trapped in enemy territory, the picture stars Michele Morgan
in the title role and Paul Henreid as the squadron-leader. Seen above are Miss Morgan, Laird Cregar,
leader of the Gestapo, and his men on the hunt. The picture plays at the Campus Theatre beginning
with the Saturday night preview and playing through Sunday and Monday.

Electronic Gages Measure
Terrific Pressure on Wings
If you have ever seen a fighter
streak across the sky, diving, twist
ing, and turning with the seeming
speed of lightning, you may have
wondered how it is possible to build
planes that can withstand such
terrific strains as those in power
dives at speeds greater than 500
miles an hour.
Did you ever put your hand out
the window of a car going 50 miles
an hour? Well, at 500 miles an
hour, the wind pressure will not
ten times but a hundred times as
great, which means that those
gleaming American “wings of vic
tory” must have tremendous
strength. And the U. S. Army Air
Forces must be dead sure they
have that strength.
• “Electronic tubes and strain
gages give that assurance,” accord
ing to Frazier Hunt, General Elec
tric newscaster. “By attaching
strain gages to the proper parts
of a wing, and by putting record
ing instruments in the plane, a few
little electronic tubes will write a
complete record of the strains dur
ing a test flight,” he explains.
“From these records, the designer
knows whether he can reduce
weight and thus give more speed
to our bombers and fighters. But
most important, he knows that
American boys can fly American
planes with greater safety. And
he knows that the science of elec
tronics can provide him with the
facts to build planes that really can
take it.”
Stresses in the plane structure
are detected by the strain gages,
which are mounted on various
parts of the plane. These stresses
are converted into tiny electrical
impulses which are amplified suf
ficiently by electronic tubes to
drive highly sensitive oscillograph
galvanometers. By deflecting light
beams of an optical system, the
galvanometers record the strain
gage impulses on a photographic
film. Having calibrated this equip
ment before flight tests, the trace
on the film can be converted to
either pounds per square inch of
load on the plane structure, or by
thousandths of an inch deflection.
Metalurgists Are
Wanted Now In
War Program
In the mobilization of manpower
for the civilian war service of the
Government there is a continuing
call for scientifically and techni
cally trained men and women.
Among those urgently needed are
Metallurgists for work in connec
tion with specific problems in the
field of metallurgy—problems con
nected with some phase of the war
program.
The Civil Service Commission is
recruiting Metallurgists under two
new examinations recently announ
ced: Announcement No. 238 for
positions paying $2,600 to $5,600
and Announcement No. 254 for
junior grade positions paying $2,
000.
The requirements of the exam
inations have been modified and
college teaching in metallurgy is
now accepted as professional ex
perience.
For the higher grade positions
($2,600 to $5,600) the requirements
now are: completion of a four-
year course with major study in
metallurgy or closely allied sub
jects and a minimum of two years
of professional experience (which
may include college teaching) in
metallurgy. Additional experience
will be required for the higher
grades.
For the junior grade positions
($2,000), the requirements are: (1)

lege teaching), or (b) 15 semester
hours in metallurgy or metallur
gical engineering, or (c) two War
Training Courses in metallurgy.
Applications will be accepted from
college senior or gradute students
who expect to complete the requir
ed courses within 6 months after
filing applications.
Applications will be accepted un
til the needs of the service have
been met. There are no age limits

Two planes are now acquired,
one at a cost of $20,00 as part of
the athletic equipment. They cov
