Different Scoring Leaders
The Frogs too have had dif
ferent scoring leaders in their var
ious contests. Probably the out
standing players of the lot on the
TCU team are Bill (Floppy) Black
mon, the Frogs’ most consistent
point-maker, and Bob McHenry,
one of the smoothest working
guards in the conference. The
latter, although not setting the
world afire with his basket shoot
ing, is a very valuable floor man
and one of the best ball-hawks
in the business.
However, after comparing the
personnel of the two squads, the
resemblence stops. The clubs have
opposite style of play, TCU ad
hering to the slow-breaking type
of offense while the Aggies lean
ing toward the fast-breaking
method. The former is not a high
scoring ball club, preferring rath
er to hold onto the ball than shoot
ing for the basket everytime they
get their hands on the ball.

simply a matter of getting the
range and direction and pulling
a lanyard. Such factors as wind
direction and velocity, tempera
ture, atmospheric density, state of

earth must be taken into account.
More than 20 different operations
are now performed in bringing a
big naval gun to bear on its target.
Throughout the process, ordnance
control to which General Electric
has made very important contri
butions in design plays an im

Point Rationing
To Increase Home
Canning Program
Secretary Wickard’s recent an
nouncement that canned, dried, and
frozen fruits and vegetables and
fruit juices are to be rationed will
result in increase in home pro
duction and home preservation of
food, predicts Winifred , Jones,
specialist in food preservation for
the A. and M. College Extension
Service.
Point ratioing of several dozen
different items ranging from can
ned soup to dried prunes will re
duce the quantity of these foods
available for civilian use by ap
proximately one-third. Likely there
will be no rationing of fresh fruits
and vegetables, cereals, or bread,
but orders covering meat and
dairy products have be>en pre
dicted «in Washington.
In his announcement, Secretary
Wickard pointed out that posses
sion of home-canned foods will not
be considered hoarding. This and
the fact that sugar has been avail
able for home canning are expected
to bring about large increases in
home canning, drying, brining, and
other conservation activities, Miss
Jones says.
She explains that rationing of
these foods is directly toward as
suring all civilians a fair and
equitable share of the nation’s
fruit and vegetable supplies. Ad
ditional protection is being given
the consumer as a result of the
Quota of 1200
Set for Houston
WAAC Enlistments
A quota of 1200 Women’s Aux
iliary Corps recruits in the first
quarter of 1943 has been set for
the Houston Recruiting District,
according to word received today
from the Army Recruiting Sta
tion in Bryan, Texas.
Patriotic women of this district
face a challenge in this quota, for
this means that some 100 women
weekly must successfully pass all
qualifying examinations for the
Corps. This pace has not yet
been reached, but it is hoped that
women of this area will soon
answer this challenge to their pat
riotic duty.
WAAC entrance requirements
are as follows: women married or
single, regardless of race, are eli
gible to enroll, providing they are
between the ages of 21 and 44,
inclusive; citizens of the United
States, by birth or naturalization;
free of dependents; of good moral
character and able to pass the pre
scribed mental and physical exam
ination. Contrary to general be
lief, no prescribed amount of-form
al education is required.
Pay ranges from $50 for the
Basic Auxiliary, to $138 for 1st
Leader, in the enlisted grades.
All officer candidates are now
selected from the ranks, and wom
en demonstrating initiative and
ability have splendid opportuni
ties for rapid advancement into
the commissioned grades. This
was recently made possible by an
executive order which opened new
facilities and enlarged opportuni
ties for training as WAAC to be
increased six times it soriginal
size.
Pfc. Erwin W. Kandeler, in
charge of the U. S. Army Recruit
ing Station, P. O. Building, Bryan,
Texas, will send to any eligible
woman all information and appli
cation blanks necessary to accept
this opportunity of serving her
country in this time of emergency.

Because there -is likely to be a
