Even though it may seem that the team is hampered by the loss of many members of the last year’s championship team, this year’s team has a very excellent opportunity to repeat what Lil Dimmitt and his team did last year. Experienced boys are in practically every position except right field and first base. Coach Norton an nounced that he would welcome any newcomers to the team that be lieve they can play either of these positions. With Daniels and Rogers in the outfield, Glass and Peden in the infield, not forgetting Carden and Turner as pitchers, plenty of ac tion can be assured this year. * * * Just as baseball is getting under way football spring training is ending. This spring session ends Thursday afternoon and as Coach Norton always says: There is noth ing like a good ending and even though there are only three days more left they will be well account ed for, as was last Saturday after noon when the Whites downed the Maroons. Thus, Thursday night 48 more Aggies will be writing “the end” to another page in A. & M. football history. Whether or not another page will be started only time can tell. Here’s hopin’! —BASKETBALL— (Continued From Page 3) Gloss of the Owls leads with 197 and has a pretty good chance to remain in the lead after the final game for it will take more than 37 points for Hargis in the final game to gfet into the lead. Clayton Wynne of Arkansas is tied for third with Harvis, with 160 each. Lee Huffman is now running fifth place but in Wednesday night’s game if Huffman can tally some 13 points he will be sure of third place in the scoring race. INVEST IN VICTORY!

Army Air Corps Eaglets Poised for Flight -TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 2, 194S ■■■ ; m '"A' 'Tf, ... Ready to soar aloft, these future pilots of the expanding Army Air Corps at Randolph Field, Texas, mount their aerial steeds for a training flight. Military fliers are being trained in ever- increasing numbers at Uncle Sam’s giant “West Point of the Air.” Their low wing monoplanes have a top speed of 175 miles an hour but this is a snail’s pace when compared to the 400-mile-an-hour craft the defenders of our skies will fly after they get their wings not many weeks from now. New North East Gate Planned As Future Entrance to Campus By Jim Gabbard North Gate, East Gate, West Gate—confusing perhaps, but these are just some of the ways of “com ing to college” here at A. & M. Soon there’ll be another, the North east Gate. It’s just part of the road-building program going on north of the campus. In fact the new “gate” will be only an incidental part of a mile- long boulevard which is being built along the northern boundary of the campus and a new direct-route highway to Bryan. The boulevard, when completed, will replace the old Sulphur Springs Road, giving a modern, convenient approach to the College and the business district. Branching from the boulevard near the old College water wells, the highway goes directly north west, joining the “old No. 6” near Union Hill. Sections of it lie along the old Bryan-College trolley right- of-way. This road will probably be come a favorite route for Bryan- College traffic, as it will be con siderably shorter than existing roads and will provide a prettier drive, as much of it cuts through the wooded sections of Hensel Park and North Oakwood. The next time your “old lady” tells of thumbing to Bryan from the North-east Gate don’t write his parents about things until you’ve gone to check, maybe he s right—it’s coming. —INDIA— (Continued From Page 1) farm population toward the present world conflict and the post-war set tlement. Author of two books on Indian farm life, member of the Indian National Committee for Basic Education, member of the Bombay Presidency Educational Board, and for many years identi fied with the cooperative credit movement and agricultural exten sion service of the country, he was given official recognition by Great Britain in May, 1941, when he was awarded the Empire Medal for Public Service. One of his books, “The Indian Farmer Speaks,” is now in the press. The other, “Edu cation and Rural Improvement,” has been translated into the ver nacular languages and is widely used by education departments throughout India. Trained in economics and sociol- A. C P'* CoK es P° ndellt Rep 01 * 8 kom Washington a Education in Arms As college administrators wait with crossed lingers, guesses on the date for selection of schools for the Army-Navy college training program have been moved a notch to March A ,M)ard representing Army, Navy, and War Manpower is plowing through ques tionnaires describing facilities of nearly ev ery college in the country. Secretary of War btimson warned schools it will do no good to try lobbying for their institutions. Col leges are taking the hint. Meanwhile, Bri. Gen. Joe N. Dalton, the Army s assistant chief of staff for person nel, has made a point of clarifying the status of men who will eventually enter the special ized training courses. "The trainee is not a college boy in uni form, says General Dalton. “He’s a dough boy m a military unit located at a college. 1 ms program is not designed to offer a nice, solt spot for young men who have been in ducted mto the service.” Government Girls The lot of a white colar girl in Washington is not exactly a happy one. Her folks at home londly think she’s getting a heavy tan from sharing the spotlight with big shots, grow ing giddy in the whirl along embassy row, and making big money. Those who don’t know her think she’s primping on taxpayer’s money. Congressional growlers picture her as a cross between a reliefer and a shiftless squatter. Actually, she’s a hard worker who has a tough time looking trim on $1,440. She gets homesick more often than she’ll admit. Her morale may not be much—but it’s all she has to keep her going. 1-4,4. now Her morale has had three quick litts. Congress raised her pay by giving her time and a quarter for overtime she’s worked unpaid for months. A hospitality committee has finally started working to help her meet service men—an important matter in a town without enough young men to go around. And no less a personage than Mr. FDR has told Congress to its face that government workers are doing jobs that must be done to win the war. High time, too, say the government girls. War and the Faculty The U. S. Office of Education has the war war toll figures on collgee faculties now. It says 8,000 left campuses in the last year for the armed services, government, war industry, or other fields. Faculties shrank by about 5 per cent, with numbers of men teachers dropping 7.5 per cent. Replacements increased the num bers of women teachers by 1.3 per cent. Stirred by the exodus, some schools boosted salaries and retained staff members beyond retirement age. Close to 100 schools have abolished such non-teaching functions as research and supervision of student ac tivities. History in Class 1-A Alexander Meiklejohn, author of “Education Between Two Worls” and educator with ideas of his own, sides with those who approve the Army-Navy college training programs in these words: “I am not saying that a young man will get a good education by going into the hell of war. I am only saying that, if he is fit to fight, he will get a bad education by staying out of it.” * Work To Be Done An “urgent” call has come from the Civil Service Commission for college women to take federal jobs as junior engineers at $2,600. Tuition-free, government sponsored 10-week training courses, now under way at many colleges, will qualify those without en gineering training. The new man on the OPA hot seat, ex-Sen- ator Prentiss Brown of Michigan, should chalk up a good batting record. At little Al bion college in his home state, he played base ball for four years, topping the team in hit ting. He went on to play semi-pro baseball in the Upper Peninsula leagues. ogy, Dr. Moomaw received his Ph.D. degree from Ohio State during a return visit to America. Recently, while waiting to return to India he has been engaged in a study of land tenure in the Texas Black Prairie being conducted by the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station in the Temple area. His analysis of Indian affairs is the more pertinent for this five months’ experience in working on Texas farm problems. iinviiW It was against college regula tions to smoke cigarettes on the Aggie campus until 1920. However, it was not against regulations to smoke a pipe, cigars, dip snuff, or chew tobacco. The average football player needs enough energy to raise six gallons of water from freezing to boiling point daily. Dr. N. B.

Schoolboy Cage Race Finishes With Tourney This Week Austin, Texas will be the scene of the Texas High School basket ball tournament this week end when the schoolboys meet to determine the state championship.
