for it was Pete that took the high
jump by scaling the height of 6
feet 7 inches. This is the first of
ficial count for the jumper, for
last year when the All-American
jumped 6 feet 8 inches, it was not
official. Watkins has only been out
for training for a couple of weeks
because of basketball season. Pete
will be giving the jumpers plenty
of competition at the conference
meet and there is little doubt of
any trackster topping his mark.
The Cadet track team has been
taking part in the Laredo meet for
a number of years. The meet has
been staged for the past 11 years,
but the 1943 meet was the initial
win for the Aggie men.
Some eight years have passed
since the Aggie team has taken
the track title, but this year may
see the title change hands. The
team has still some meets sched
uled in preparing for the real one,
and if the thinly-clads come around
to expectations, the title might
find itself in the Aggie camp.

and with lots of hustle which has
already characterized Aggie nines.
Under the new tutorship of Coach
Homer Norton they have been im
proving as the days pass by and
soon they will be in top shape for
their first stiff test against the
Flyers.
The team as a whole looks very
good and the only thing that Nor
ton is not satisfied in is the hit
ting power of the Aggies. They
are being hindered due to the fact
that the Cadets fail to have enough
time to practice with the speed
up program and the physical pro
gram now under way at Aggieland.
The main problem in the Aggie
nine is the first base and right
field spot, and Norton has been
working hard to get a couple of

the first base. They have been
showing promise and all indica

spot in a satisfactory way.
Second base found Ira Glass, re
turning letterman and a fast and
aggressive player. He has been
showing lots of speed and fine
fielding. Jimmy Newberry, who
last year played in the outfield,
will defend the short stop position.
He is a fine hitter and has plenty
power and speed. Last year he
was characterized by his long
drives that brought much needed
runs for the Aggies. Jimmy and
Ira Glass will be tops in the con
ference this season with their sen
sational plays which involve fine
fielding and hitting power. Les
Peden, one of the leading hitters
in last years championship team
and one of the leading hitters in
the conference will be at the .“hot
corner”. He made all conference
last year and his excellent fielding
was one of the principal reasons
why the Aggies gained the title.
No one could forget that sensa
tional play he executed last year
in the last game of the conference
between the Aggies and Long
horns. That play saved the game
and thus brought that coveted
championship to College Station.
The play went like this. It -was the
last half of the seventh inning and
Texas U was batting; two men
were on base with one out. Peden,
playing close to third, surprised
everybody by stopping a hard line
drive toward third and making a
double play without any assistance.
That play saved the game; and
from that play on, Scoggin led the
Aggies to victory by excellent
pitching.
Outfield
Cullen Rogers, all-conference
left-fielder and one of the leading
hitters last year, will defend that
position. He is a fast player and
has lots of hitting power. This
season he will be one of the top
hitters, not only in the Aggie line
up, but in the conference. “Light

prentice seamen’s pay. Qualifying
tests to select candidates will be
given throughout the nation on or
about April 2.
Each college will be assured a
definite number of men when it
signs its Navy contract. The col
lege has to accept those men as
signed to it, and the curricula will
be prescribed. However, classes will
be taught by regular faculty mem
bers in their own way, and the col
lege can credit or not as it pleases
the work of its Navy students.
Officers to be trained in the col
leges are: chaplains, medical and
dental officers—twelve 16-week
terms; engineering specialists—
eight 16-week terms; engineers for
general duty—six 16-week terms.
All students, except pre-medical
and dental, will take the same
fundamental college work in math,
science, English, history, engineer
ing drawing and physical training
for the first two terms. If a stu
dent has any time left, he can car
ry additional elective courses, and
can participate in college athletics
and fraternities.
To get into V-12, a qualified man
must first take the April 2 qualify
ing test (application blanks will be
distributed in schools, colleges,
ships and naval stations). Follow
ing the tests, successful candidates
will be told to report to the near
est Office of Naval Officer Pro
curement at their own expense,
where the final selections will be
made by specially set-up election
committees after the candidates
have passed their Navy physicals.
The selection committee will con
sist of an educator, a representa
tive civilian, and a Naval officer.
Selected applicants can state pref
erences of college, branch of the
service, and course of study and
will then be inducted through reg
ular Selective Service channels, en
listed in V-12, and placed on in
active duty until ordered to college.

Some sport writers rated Boykoff
over the great Luisetti, who used
to wear out two sets of nets a
night when he played for the Stan
ford Indians on the West Coast.
Gloss will attempt to guard this
Brooklyn lad and if successful, the
Rice Owls have a good chance of
taking away the. title.
Boykoff will be hard pressed by
Gloss of the Owls, who led the
conference in individual scorers
with 197. Some observers seem
to think different from the basket
ball board about the picking of
John Hargis, rangey Texas center,
as the outstanding player of the
Southwest. Gloss not only lead the
conference in scores but was the
workhorse of the Owl’s offense
with his passing and ball handling.
Coach Joe Davis of the Rice
Owls said that his team was in
great shape for the Garden tour

upset the favored St. John Gagers.

that makes me play best.
The radio has done a great deal
to build audiences. The finest or
chestras in the world today are
heard by everybody who is enough
interested to turn on the radio. So
when people come to the hall where
the music is being produced they
usually know what to expect. They
have usually come to hear some
favorite composition played.
If an audience is restless at the
start, the best way to make them
quiet down is not to play louder,
because they will talk louder, but
to play softly so that they have to
be quiet to hear. If you shout at a
man he won’t bother to listen but
if you whisper he will come close.
One of the best things about con
certs is that you can tell whether
you did the thing you wanted to
or whether it didn’t go as you in
tended. Some people always tell you
it was fine. But those who matter
will tell you the truth. The crowds
that come up after concerts do not
tire me when they say honest
things. When I am very tired they
rest me. Sometimes they ask ques
tions that sound foolish but if they
mean them I answer as best I can.
Parents, particularly mothers,
often push their children through
the crowd for me to see and ask:
“Do you think there is a future
in music for my little boy?”
How can I tell? Perhaps the
only future the child has is for
plumbing or a grocery business.
All I can say is:
“There is more future in music
today than ever before. Never has
there been such opportunity for.
honest music. The world is hungry
for musicians who will play for
them music of the masters and not
try to be bigger shots than Bee
thoven. I always say there are too
many of the latter and not enough
of the former.”

The fact that a simple blood test
can prove the presence of syphilis
and that proper treatment will cure
the dreaded disease was empha

Following this picture a reel was

ACS Meeting And
Banquet Held At
6:30 Friday Night
The Texas A. & M. Section of
the American Chemical Society will
hold its twenty-eighth meeting Fri
day night, March 19 at 8:00 o’clock
in the Chemistry lecture room. Dr.
Cecil E. Boord, of Ohio State Uni
versity will speak on the subject,
“The Synthesis of Pure Hydrocar
bons and the Relation of their
Physical Constants to Molecular
Structure.”
An informal dinner will be held
at the Aggieland Inn at 6:30 just
before the meeting. Dr. Boord has
been associated with Ohio State
University for many years and has
long been active in research. His
principal work has been in the
field of hydrocarbon chemistry to
which he has contributed new meth
ods for synthesizing certain organic
materials. He has also established
a number of relationships between
the molecular structure and physi
cal constants of hydrocarbons. The
American Petroleum Institute rec
ognized his ability and made him
supervisor of their pure hydrocar
bon research program. Dr. Boord
will present a critical survey of
new and old methods for the prep
aration and purification of hydro
carbons. He will also present tabu
lations revealing some of the more
striking relationships between
physical constants and structure.
