Nine weeks of this time is spent at a basic flying school where the ca dets first try their hand at instru ment flying, formation maneuvers, and acrobatics. Ag Workers Cancel January’s Meeting The Directors of the Texas Ag ricultural Workers’ Association have voted to dispense with the annual meeting scheduled for Jan uary 8 and 9 at Abilene, according to D. T. Simons, Fort Worth, pres ident of the group. The majority of the Directors felt that gas ra tioning, possible restrictions and inconvenience of travel by bus and train, curtailment of travel and travel funds by organizations, un usual pressure of work for many members, the request by the gov ernment that only essential meet ings be held, the example set by similar organizations in dispensing with meetings, and the small at tendance that would no doubt re sult, all pointed to the advisability of not having the meeting next January.

Apparently the Japanese like the traitorous utterances of this native of Banks, Oregon’s strawberry growing country. His work for the broadcasting corporation of Ja pan’s foreign division earned him praise in 1938. The government’s controlled Nichi Nichi wrote an ex tensive article praising his “fine work” and attached to him the name of “Japan’s Radio Sopkes- man.” The University of Oregon alumni office hasn’t forgotten that another alumnus, Yosuke Matsuoka, for mer foreign minister of Japan, also has caused the university con siderable embarrassment. In 1937, the Portland unit of the Oregon Alumni association decided that Matsuoka was “the alumnus of the year” and had a plaque made for him. An alumnus was sent to Tokyo for the presentation. He was royally feted, and next time Matsuoka came to Oregon, he made a speech at the university. —TOOL DESJGN— Registration date has been set for Thursday evening, Oct. 22, in Room 33 of the Civil Engineering building, College Station. At that time the meeting nights and place of meeting will be decided upon. The only expense involved is that of books and equivalent since the tuition is borne by the Federal Government. Additional informa tion may be had by writing or calling the Engineering Drawing Department, A&M College. —FOOTBALL— Hard-Blocking Zapalac Willie Zapalac, blocking back, and Jake Webster at fullback go to form the rest of the backfield. Zapalac, the hard-hitting blocker from Bellville, has, of late, be come the most consistent Aggie back. His blocking during scrim mage sessions against the B squad or the freshmen has been short of sensational, and his exhibition this afternoon should give the Ags their best blocking back since Jim Thomas dropped would-be tacklers in their tracks. The Cadet line will be sparked today by Felix Bucek, phenomenal guard who has been the stalwart of the hard-hitting forward wall. Along with him to defend the glory of Aggieland will be Wayne Cure, at the other guard post, Don Lue- thy and Ben Stout at tackles, Bill Sibley, center and Bill Henderson and Boots Simmons at the wing post. Alford, Palmer Frog Stars For the Froggies, the star-stud ded forward wall is led by Bruce Alford, the TCU All-America end candidate and Derrell Palmer, their most brilliant tackle since I. B. Hale roamed the Southwest Con ference. The game will start at 2:30 this afternoon and when the whistle opens the festivities both the Pur ple and White of Texas Christian University and the Maroon and White wearers of Texas A&M will know that their biggest test of the season is under way. —JOURNALISM— vertising Company, Arthur Cole man and Lt.-Comm.
