Field led the scorers with nine
points. Other Artillery pointment
were: C. J. Kallina, six points;
M. L. Ott and T. P. Faulkner with
four points each. Bill Wheeler and
C. L. Brunow scored four and two
points, respectively for the losing
congregation.
The other match, between A
Coast and B Infantry, was a more
hotly-contested affair. The Infan
try team trailed by a count of 11-
4 at the end of the first half but
came back strong to threaten in
the last half. They accounted for
nine points in the final period while
the victors were held to a meager
four. E. R. Stewart and G. E. Wil
kins scored all of the points cred
ited to the Coast team. Stewart
made eight points while Wilkins
scored seven. R. S. Hackney made
seven tallies for the Infantrymen
and E. W. Genther chalked up four
points.

there.
When the pictures do start com
ing in, the tiny task of making a
myriad of plates begins—which is
all the more fun because while
each photo must be trimmed, some
staffman invariably cuts some
body’s head off, or his finger, or
both as was the case this year.
Staff Takes Campus Shots
After the plates, all of the names
and so forth must be typed out and
marked, then the call for campus
snapshots goes out to the corps.
Only a few hundred of these are
needed, and although they beg and
beg, the Longhorn staff must take
a day and a camera and run around
snapping pictures.
Just about this time, a new pro
motion list, or distinguished stu
dent list comes out, so the names
prepared previously must be re
vised—more fun!
All Want Vanity Fair Shots
If that isn’t enough, nobody
cares about getting their girl in
Vanity Fair or the Senior Favorite
section, so those deadlines must
be extended. When the Vanity Fair
pictures come back, every news
paper and magazine in the South
west wants to borrow them, so that
holds things up some more.
When the time comes that that
is out of the way, the Aggieland
and Sports sections must be made
up. This takes about four hours per
page for one man, and the entire
staff must work from about 9
a.m. to 1:30 p.m.—the next day!
Well, just about that time every
body thinks things are about
wound up, so the staff starts go
ing to the picture show at night
instead of working. Just as the
final gun is about to be fired, some
stupid outsider thumbs through the
dummy and asks what these two
empty pages are for. What empty
pages? ??•%•?!
So, you have to dig up some
thing to fill up two empty pages
right in the middle of the book.
Proof Must Be Read
You can then relax, or at least
you may if you can relax and read
proof at the same time. Just about
the time all of the proof is read
and you are down in the last gal
ley of the freshman class, another
stupid somebody wants to know
what outfits those three fish are
in. Those three right there? Yeah.
Well, look in the student directory
and find out. But I did, and they
aren’t in the student directory.
What?! Yeeeee! Three extra fresh
men, complete with pictures! And
it’s too late to stop them!
Well, you think there must be
some mistake, but sure enough, the
1943 Longhorn will come out with
three freshmen pictured and listed
that don’t wear fish stripes. Seems
as though the staff got some soph
omore pictures and imaginary
names mixed up, so some wet-
heads are coming out in the fish
section under a purely fictitious
set of names. The names? C. D.
Elmwood, U. C. Grabb, and W.
Oscar Overtown. Believe it or not!

won’t be dismissed today for the
Christmas holidays. . . . Battalion

We are proud of you.” And inci
dentally, the boys around the Batt
office are too. . . To the disillu
sioned Aggies: We saw Anne
Gwynne and Martha O’Driscoll
leaving at the S. P. depot this
morning and they look pretty good
without screen makeup. We had to
look twice before we recognized
them. . . . Then there was the lit
tle moron who threw the cow over

Bounce, (ouch).

The new conference rule on fresh

probably won’t see Texas Univer
sity take advantage and use the
first-year men in the Cotton Bowl

Bible does use one, he’ll probably
use Frank Guess, hard-hitting full
back of the Yearling team . . .
UCLA showed a nice varied at

is waged against Japanese occu
pants of the Philippines by a crew
of telephone linemen.
Their purpose after capturing
a plantation is to set up a counter
propaganda radio unit to stir the
natives and keep resistance keyed
up. Surrounded and sniped at, their
water runs out. Men are killed by
the mistakes of others. Running a
gauntlet of bullets, Miss Landis
pops in with a planter. When the
Japs attack again with rifle and
bomb, Landis and the hero, Lloyd
Nolan, are last seen broadcasting
and no doubt inspired the natives.
The lowdown: another good war
picture.

Children’s Health
Must Be Protected
Even in Winter
In discussing seasonal health
hazards for young children today,
Dr. Geo. W. Cox, Seate Health
Officer, stated that babies and
young children need as careful pro
tection now against winter com
plaints as they do in hot summer
weather against “summer com
plaint.”
Influenza, tonsilitis, pneumonia,
bronchitis, and asthma are includ
ed among those diseases which
may be dangerous winter illness
es among young children since
they affect the respiratory or
breathing system. Such diseases as
pneumonia may develop from a
neglected cold, they may follow as
an after-effect of measles or whoop
ing cough, or they may occur sud
denly and with very little warning.
These diseases of the respiratory
system are more prevalent in
winter than in summer and are
much more difficult to combat
than digestive ailments such as
summer complaint.
“These winter diseases are par
ticularly dangerous to babies and
young children,” Dr. Cox stat
ed. “Nearly all of them are
spread through the secretions from
the nose and mouth. Children not
in vigorous health are naturally
more susceptible to these com
plaints and the first line of de-
dense,” Dr. Cox cautioned, “is to
strengthen the powers of resistance
against disease; the second is to
keep them under medical supervi
sion and the third is to make sure
they avoid contact with others
who have coughs, colds or fevers.”
A rushing business is usually
headed by a man who does the
same.

Tuberculosis Increase
Prevalent During War
Emphasizing the importance of
cooperating with the national tu
berculosis control program, Dr.
Geo. W. Cox, State Health Officer,
today declared that war more than
any other circumstance breeds the
adverse conditions conducive to an
increase in the prevalence of this
disease.
