type of back, but coaches soon dis
covered his blocking possibilities
and immediately had the big red
head running at the blocking back
post. That year Andy Andricks
Was the line-plunging ace and the
Fish team was in dire need of a
blocker so the job was given to
Roman.
No. 2 Blocker
The following year, with the
graduation of Jim Thomason and
the resignation of Dick Skarke, ace
blocking back, who suffered a
“trick” knee, the blocking back
duties were heaped upon Willie
Zapalac and Roman, of course. He
was right behind big Will and
played in a few pre-season games.
Roman’s presence also left the
field open for Zapalac to do his
favorite job, that of carrying the

COLONEL WILLARD CHEVALIER,
publisher of "Business Week,” is making
his annual visit to the College next week.
Colonel Chevalier will address all en
gineering students in Guion Hall at 12
o’clock Wednesday, January 13. All those
having classes at that hour will be ex
cused. Attendance will be checked.
All members of the teaching staff who
find it possible shoul dhear this address.

STUDENT STORAGE—All students still
having items stored with the Student
Storage Concession are requested to claim
them not later than Saturday, January
16th. Items left after that date will be
subject to sale in accordance with stor
age agreement.
STUDENT EMPLOYMENT AND STU-
DENT CONCESSIONS—Any student ex
pecting to do part-time work, or who ex
pects to hold a student concession or
agency of any kind during the coming
semester is requested to call at the
Placement Office and file a renewal of
his student labor application.
Renewals will be accepted at any time
from January 5 through January 23. Stu
dent employees are also reminded that
they are expected to obtain cards from
this office showing re-assignment to
their jobs for the coming year.
mail, but, alas, all this was only
too good to be true.
Roman was doing all the good
until he suffered what appeared
at first a simple charley-horse. Red
was playing safety in a punt-re
turn drill and on returning one of
the boots he was hit hard, one of
the tacklers falling across his knee.
At first it was not regarded seri
ous but it was soon found out that
he was the victim of a “trick”
knee. In other words, his knee
would continually pop out of place
and even an operation didn’t fully
cure it.
Gets Job
And so the Ags lost a fine foot
ball prospect, but because of his
love for the game, Roman, along
with Dick Skarke, the other “trick
knee” artist, requested Coach Ho
mer Norton to give him a job
which was near to his favorite
sport. Norton then assigned both
to the training room, with Roman
in charge of the medicine table,
thus originating the “Benzoin
Kid.”
Since receiving that job, Roman
has carried a big load for Coach
Lil Dimmitt, who took over fresh
man football coaching duties last
fall. “Ask me for benzoin,” says
Red, “and I’ll give it to you in
doses. We’ve got everything down
at the gym—athletes, equipment,
tape, sun-lamp, and of course, ben
zoin.”
Enjoys His Work, But—
Roman enjoys his work to the
utmost, but at times he can be
seen watching the football boys
with a sort of regret—regret that
he wasn’t there right amongst
them. He is the object of many
razzings down at the gym but each
and everyone always has a good
word to put in for the popular red
head. The fact of the matter is
that, all the athletes regard Ro
man as one of their own.
Yessir, the ole gym will be a
dull place when Red Roman leaves
Aggieland but until then the “Ben
zoin Kid” will have a soft spot in
every athlete’s heart!

night . . . Coach Hub McQuillan
of the TCU team formerly coached
here and he knew full well the
famous exploits of the Aggie
“twelfth man,” so he instructed
his quint to don ear-muffs in order
to avoid noise . . . Apparently,
that’s not the only thing that the
objects accomplished for it was
apparent that the Frogs couldn’t
even hear their own signals much
less the noise of the galleries . . .
Incidentally, Hub didn’t have any
alibi after the game and praised
the Aggies to the heavens . .
“ They were really good,” Mac
commented to the writer follow
ing the tussle, “it was a champion
ship club that played us Saturday
night, at least for that day”. . . .
Genial Lil Dimmitt, the Aggie all-
around coach was up to his old
tricks Saturday afternoon . . . Lil
was seen convoying a number of
prospective college football stars
and was he slinging the hash . . .
Anyway ,the youngsters wore
pretty well convinced where they’d
go to college next February or next
September . . . Note to the A&M

Baylor, fellas, they’ve got a pretty
fair ball club and besides, they’re

that’s what Coach Norton says and

the splendid job turned in by Dusty
—PLAYOFFS—
(Continued From Page 3)
Artillery will carry off the honors
in Class A football. Playoffs in
two other Class A sports are un
der way, but will not reach the
final stage for another week or
so. These are Class A Tennis,
which is in the quarterfinals; and
Class A Basketball, which is in
the semi-finals. Semi-finalists in
the latter are F Infantry, B
A, A FA, and D Replacement Cen
ter.
Two of the Class B sports are
also still in the playoffs. The
class B Volleyball matches are in
the finals and the Class B foot
ball playoffs are in the eighth-
finals. In the volleyball finale the
A Coast Artillery club will tackle
the F Field Artillery team. In
their matches last week the Coast
crew was victorious over M In
fantry by a 2-1 count, while the
Field Artillery bunch was wallop
ing E Replacement Center 2-0. Due
to the fact that their semi-final
victory was a bit more decisive
the F FA squad will probably en
ter the finals the favorite, but
in a game with such evenly match
ed teams as this, it can go either
way.
Featured in the A Coast line-up
are such players as Pickens, Mas-
singil, Stewart, and Henry. Also
on the Coast squad are Wilkin,
Andruss, Smylie, Ranson, and
,'Edwp.rds. Playing for F Field
Artillery are Phelps, Williams,
Wells, Buttrey, Leary, Sueltenfuss,
Jones, Jackson, Cherry, and Aut-
rey.
A definite date for this contest
has not been announced, but ac
cording to Mr. W. L. Penberthy,
head of the Physical Education
Department, it will be played as
soon as possible.

students who have completed all
work except the prescribed sum
mer training for their senior year.
A group of such students from
the Carnegie Institute of Tech
nology is scheduled to report as
Officer Candidates in January.
Several courses have been add
ed to the curriculum in order to
present more outdoors exercises
demonstrating classroom subjects.
In addition to the field exercise
which was recently added to the
course, a 6-hour night map prob
lem is being presented for basic
students. Two full days have been
added to the basic signal commun
ication course for intermediate
students in order to give them
practice with field radio nets and
field wire nets.
The additional 24 class-hours
were added to the course by re
ducing the time which was for
merly allotted for processing,
without revising any of the exist
ing courses. A total of 679 class-
hours of instruction is presented
to all officer candidates at the
present time.
The motor transport course for
intermediate students has been
revised to provide for 24 hours
of classroom instruction and 4
hours of work in the field. Two
hours of field work are devoted to
convoy technique and' 2 hours are
spent on maintenance problems.
