In another close Class A bas ketball match B Field Artillery took an eighth-finals match from B Coast Artillery by a score of 16-15. With the score tied 4-4 at the half, both teams came out fighting but the Field squad had that extra punch that won the game. T. A. Carlile, of the Field team, and P. B.

Hope Adams, ’41 Wins Commission In Army Air Forces Hope Barrett Adams, Dallas, Texas, class of ’41, was commis sioned a Second Lieutenant in the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve and designated a Naval Aviator at weekly graduation ceremonies held at the Naval Air Training Center, Corpus Christi, today. Before pinning on the coveted “Navy Wings of Gold,” the dis tinguishing mark of the Naval Aviator, Lt. Adams and his class mates were addressed by Rear Ad miral Alfred E. Montgomery, U. 8. N., Commandant of the training center. Lt. Adams volunteered for flight training last February and re ceived preliminary instruction at the Dallas, Texas, reserve aviation base. He was then transferred to the world’s largest naval air sta tion for intermediate and advancad training. Upon successful completion of this training, embracing an in tensive ground school course in addition to many hours of flight training, Adams is now prepared for duty with the fleet. Or, he may be selected as an instructor to teach one of the many phases of aeronautics to young men taking their first stages of flight instruc tion. Bob Hope Voted Radio Favorite Of 1942; Allen Second Bob Hope, as an entertainer and comedian, also his program, came to the front in run-away style to achieve top honors in the three respective classifications in the sixth annual poll of radio editors and writers conducted by RADIO DAILY. Last year Hope as an entertainer and comedian was close on the Jack Benny trail when he won out as an entertainer and comedian but lost to the Jack Benny program. At that time he soared from a comparatively low rating the season before. Fred Allen came up strongly to take second place in the same cat- agories as Hope. For the first time a serial comedy-drama placed among the first ten favorite pro grams, “The Aldrich Family” be ing the first to reach this goal. On the other hand “One Man’s Family” continues as the radio ed itor’s favorite serial. Why the voting took this slant is but one of the many peculiar angles that characterized the voting in gen eral. Switch in numerous radio editor posts may or may not be responsible. As a matter of fact, both these shows gathered votes as “dramatic” shows. That the editors and writers lis ten to the news commentators at great length is indicated in the fact that all leading commenta tors received votes as compared to many classifications that held votes for but one, two or three favorites. This will be noted in the comparatively higher number of votes received by the first 10 commentators. Raymond Gram Swing took top honors in this category. He was second last year to H. V. Kaltenbom. William Shi- rer came to the fore from fifth place last year, to take second honors. Bill Stern who has been play ing nip and tuck with Ted Husing the past few years again came in first as favorite sports commen tator reversing the nosing out stuff. Chicago Round Table again placed first a san educational pro gram, Arturo Toscanini repeated as the favorite symphonic con ductor; the New York Philihar- monic-Symphony, once more took its place as a leading symphonic organization as per voting by the radio editors. Dinah Shore came to the front with a vengeance as the favorite female singer of popular songs, while Gladys Swarthout eased Lily Pons into second place, reversing their positions of last season. The old reliable, Bing Crosby again topped the popular male singers, while Harry James was voted head man among the swing orchestras. THE BATTALION Engineering Students To Hear Talk Tuesday Colonel Willard Chevalier, pub lisher of “Business Week,” is mak ing his annual visit to the College next week. He will address all engineering students in Guion hall at 12 o’clock Wednesday, January 13, said Dean Bolton yesterday to the Battalion. All engineering students are ex pected to attend, and those having classes at that hour will be ex cused. Attendance will be checked, Bolton also said. He urged all members of the teaching staff, who find it possible, to hear this ad dress. Texas Oil Production Exceeds That Of Axis According to a table recently compiled in Petroleum Engineering 204, the state of Texas produces more oil than all the Axis nations combined. The following is tabu lated in barrels and includes some other interesting contrasts in oil production. These figures were made in 1941: (all are totals): United States, 1,405,830,000; Texas alone, 479.755.000. Soviet Union produces 242.150.000. These nations totaled with Americans and British-own ed companies in oil production reach a figure many times larger than that of the Axis. A complete total as compiled is 1,991,445,054. Nations under Allied protection total: Argentina 21,641,186; Co lombia 21,441,566; Bolivia 120,- 748; Peru 12,845,520; Trinidad 21,- 610,644; Mexico 41,200,000; these total 121,859,664. In comparison with the following compiled Axis figures. The table was made in cluding all territory occupied in 1941 by Axis forces, Germany 32,- 072; Japan 64,789,583; Italy 1,- 427,143, totaling 98,289,226. Agronomy Society To Meet Tonight, 8:30 The Agronomy Society will meet in the lecture room of the Animal Industries building tonight at 8:30 for the purpose of electing new officers for the coming year. In this election the faculty ad visor is also chosen at that time. This will be a very important meet ing, and probably the last one of the year, so it is very urgent that all members of the society, and anyone else interested in joining it to be present at the meeting to night. —RED CROSS— (Continued from Page 1) tain the correct temperature with ventilations, for the comfort and health of the children. One inter esting feature of the school is a story telling hour held from 10 until 11. Children with colds or other illnesses should not be brought to these rooms because of the dangei; to the health of the other children. Cooperation in this matter by the mothers will go a long way in mak ing a success of the nursery school. The equipment is being donated by the community. Any low tables and chairs as well as toys, which can be spared will be appreciated. Call Mrs. Edmonson or better, bring them to the Red Cross Head quarters. As is his habit, Guy Lombardo breezed in as the most popular swing band. Richard Crooks again won out as the favorite male clas sical vocalist while “Information Please” had no trouble being voted the most popular quiz show. Children’s shows, the most touchy proposition to a great many voters easily gave “The Lone Ranger” a strong lead. “Radio Theater” produced and directed by Cecil B. DeMille won hands down as usual in the drama category. At Guion Holl shall in a scene from “You Can’t Escape Forever” showing today and Friday at Guion Hall. Galveston County Club Meets Tonight The Galveston County Club will hold an important meeting in room 205 of the Academic Building, to morrow night at eight o’clock. Money from the Christmas dance will be distributed. Basketball Played By 1500 Cadets At Corpus Christi CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas—The U. S. Naval Air Station here, now expanded into the world’s largest air training center, might lay claim to another feat of “world’s largest” caliber. Here, according to the physical training officers, more than 1,500 bluejackets, aviation cadets, and officers play basketball a part of each day or night. That being true, and a glance at the portable goals scattered on hanger floors, flight ramps, and recreation areas will attest their claim, there is probably sufficient cage teams at the naval station to supply players enough for the nations’ largest basketball conference. In fact, there were so many lovers of the game that the phy sical training officers were forced to set up an intra-station schedule with league regulations in order to insure every team a chance at competitive playing. In one league alone, the Com mandants • League, there are 26 teams averaging 15 players each. In adaition, the station’s four out laying auxiliary stations added 2 teams each to the tournament, making a grand total of 295 play ers competing in over 300 super vised games for a trophy. This is the station’s only league offering any sort of a prize for a winning team. Another league, organized to bring players from every unit into competition, boasts approximately 850 players, with officers, cadets and enlisted all vieing for player positions. Accustomed to doing things in a large manner, the physical train ing officers are immensely pleased. Even though a corps of referees, scorekeepers and officials from their staff are on duty each night for a multitude of tilts, they are more than happy about the whole thing. Basketball has long been recognized as one of the best body building exercises known to man, and, to have every man at the station in prime physical condition is their responsibility. And, it’s all in good fun. Com petition is keen among the demo cratic teams which in some in stances list the unit commanders name along with members of his organization.
