ton Symphony Orchestra. Pro
grams are selected from the regu
lar winter library of the orches
tra, and leading Houston musicians
are presented as soloists.
This season, for the first time,
the summer symphony has gone
outside the City of Houston to of
fer musical programs. In July, two
concerts were played in San Mar
cos; one at the Navigation School
and another at the Teachers Col
lege. On August 16 and 17, two
concerts are scheduled for Camp
Hood, Texas.
The appearance in Camp Hood
last February was of particular
interest because of the request re
ceived from the men at that camp
to substitute music of Beethoven,
Brahms and Tschaikowsky for the
original program submitted. This
request set the standard for all
Army Camp concerts of the Hous
ton Symphony Orchestra.
The summer orchestra of the
Houston Symphony Society will
be presented on A. & M. Town Hall
August 26, at eight o’clock in the
evening. The program will be held
on the open air stage in Kyle Field
where there is ample room to ac
commodate the crowd.
It is particularly appropriate
that the summer symphony should
be presented at Texas A. & M.
during the present season. The
“Aggies” were one of the first to
make the winter concert of the or
chestra an annual part of their
Town Hall course. The members
of the Houston Symphony always
look forward to their A. & M. con
cert as one that is certain to be a
pleasant experience. The friendly
reception and entertainment of the
members by the “Aggies” is only
exceeded by their enthusiasm at
the concert itself.
Close ties have been welded be
tween the orchestra and the stu
dent body of A. & M. In December
of last year, the Singing Cadets
were presented as the feature at
traction on the orchestra’s sub
scription concert of the month,
drawing one of the largest crowds
of the season.
The program Conductor Hoff
mann has selected is certain to
please the large crowd that is ex
pected to attend.

ARAir VET/
Basics Whip Vets
The chalking crew is busy, re-
chalking diamond Number 1 on
Pickett Playground. The reason,
was the hot game on Sunday be
tween the Hoss Doctors of Com
pany 2, and The Bridge Builders
‘of Company 3.
Sunday’s game was one of the
hardest fought that we have seen.
By that, we mean, the hardest
fought between two softball teams,
and a brace of fearless umpires.
However, there is no doubt in the
minds of either players or spec
tators as to who got the best of
the struggle. No! Junior, how
could an umpire win a ball game?
After an hour of slugging (and
walking) it out, the Vets came
out on the short end of the horn.
They should feel at home there,
because, after all, their profession
is studying such things.
Both teams looked good, with
the exception of the Vet field,
which obviously suffered from lack
of practice. The company 3 pit
cher turned in a remarkable per
formance, with twelve strikeouts
and only two walks, as compared
with the Company 2 pitcher’s five
strikeouts and seven walks.
The Vets three runs were
brought in by Roth and Clark
in the second and by Phillips in
the sixth. Third Companies seven
runs were by Cotton, in first; Cza-
plicki, in the second; Colangelo, in
the third; Deeter (pitcher) and
Danley, in the fourth and by J. J.
Berry, in the fifth.
Officers Tune Up
Capt. McDaniels looks most
pleased after the initial practice
of his Ten Old Men, who turned
out this week preparing for their
coming battle with the Easterwood
Airport team.
Captain McDaniels displayed ta
lent on the mound while Lt. Heiftz
also a pitcher looked like he would
give trouble to any opposing bat
ters. Lt. Heiftz played with Univ.
of Michigan prior to entering the
army and has pitched semi-pro
ball. It appears that the GI teams
of the five companies will not find
the officers team the soft mark
they had hoped for.
Major Apple of the 2nd com
pany was in there slugging though
he was struck out once, by Umpire
Lt. Pickett of the 1st company,
who according to Major Apple,
was led onto the playing field by
a seeing eye doy before the game.
Lt. Jors, company commander
of the 1st company, looked good
both at the bat and on the field
as did Lt. Rosecrans, a ringer
brought in to help out the ASTP
officers.
Lt. Guthrie, has a psychological
advantage over GI pitchers as he
is with Finance Officer and that
Red Line looms large when a fast
ball comes in waist high.
Captain Heister CO of the Basic
third company carries on their
tradition with strong support from
Lt. Kelly. Lt. Williams, Regiment
al Adjutant, and Lt. Fisher, Plans
and Training Officer for the re
giment played their positions like
old hands. Captain Smith, CO for
the 4th, stole the show by bring
ing Lt. Carroll and the entire 4th
company to the practice game.
This rooting section proved to be
little help tho, what with Captain
McDaniels pitching and Lt. Pick
etts umpiring. The latter having
the edge in striking Captain Smith
out.

Sportslights by Maglio
Except for inter-company soft-
ball and football games, weekday
sports activity is practically at a
standstill. The fifth company ath
letic committee proposed that com
petitive games be played between
company sections whose physical
education classes coincide.
This maneuver was successfully
undertaken last week when section
19 of the 5th Company played and
beat one of the sections from the
1st Company. These informal
games prove a welcome relief
from the drudgery of daily calis
thenics.
It won’t be long now before the
old pigskin will be dragged out in
earnest. It’s a tough break for
some of our gridiron stars that
they will not be allowed to take
part in inter-collegiate ball as
members of the Aggie team.
There is no question in anyone’s
mind as to the amount of studying
a trainee has to do and this was
perhaps the deciding factor in Se
cretary of War Stimson’s reject
ing of Congress’ petition that the
boys be allowed to play. After all
this is war and you know what
Sherman said.—
It would be a good idea for the
various companies to begin to or
ganize touch football teams for
competition soon. Regular rough
and tumble tackle football would
be a better body-builder (or may
be I should say leg-breaker) but
it can’t be played due to lack of
equipment. Two hand touch foot
ball can be just as fast, if not fast
er, and it gives the little fellow a
chance to show his wares. The
game is a good one to watch, too,
with plenty of running and pas
sing.
One 'month more and another
World Series will be written into
the record books. One Northerner
who has actually seen the major
leagues in action are scanning the
dailies with anxious eyes to see
who is going to capture the gon
falon that symbolizes supremacy
in the baseball world. At this stage
of the race, it looks as if the
New York Yankees and the St.
Louis Cardinals can coast home
with the bacon in their respective
leagues.
I’m a Boston Red Sox rooter
from way back, but, with the loss
of Ted Williams, Johnny Pesky,
and of course, Dom Di Maggio, as
well as a few lesser lights, seems
to have been too much and as a
result the Sox are out of the
race this war-year.
Should the Cards and Yanks
win, will the underdog Red Birds
be able to take the powerful Bronx
Bombers into camp a second suc
cessive year? Those Yanks were
fighting mad over their defeat in
last year’s series and will be out
to avenge the usurpation of their
world crown by the upstarts from
Missouri. Being from Missouri,
the Southworth speed-boys didn’t
believe the McCarthymenn were
that good and set out to prove it

E. Y. Detjen, today’s graduating
senior, is a native of Oklahoma.
He was born and reared in the
outskirts of Tulsa, and graduated
from that city in ’38.
After high school graduation E.
Y. entered Oklahoma A&M Col
lege as a pre-dental student. He
was a member of Alpha Pi Mu, an
honorary pre-medical fraternity,
and Sigma Chi, a social fraternity
while at Oklahoma A&M.
It took E. Y. only two years to
get wise to the mouth-plumbing
profession. So, in 1940, he entered
Texas A&M and Osteology and
Physiology began to buzz through
his brain. Now, just three years
later he is prepared to receive that
coveted degree, Doctor of Veterin
ary Medicine.
When asked about the future E.

Once Upon a Time
The war took the second page
this week to the astonishing news
that the tall, rangy, mild-mannered
youth from the hills of Tennessee,
known by his close friends as Du-
roc Coscia, succeeded in working
his way into the heart of a wealthy
Dallas debutante. He had us all
convinced that he was a woman
hater of the first degree, but now
we know he is no exception. The
anticipated stag beer party sud
denly developed into a coed house
party at Journey’s End Ranch (see
Rentier for address).
Apparently Duroc was to act as
chaperone for the boys from Clip
Hall: “Old Timer” Williams,
“Chief” Melius, and “Agouti”
Rentier, the host. But with one co
ed too many Duroc acted the gen
tleman’s part and retaliated to the
lady’s advances. He soon fell into
the routine and succeeded in break
ing down his shyness toward the
opposite sex. (Ed’s note: Duroc
has never had a date before).
Now he is spending several days
in the hospital recovering from fal
len arches and frost-bitten hands
—the latter contracted from too
frequent phmges into an ice-cold
vintage barrel in an attempt to sat
isfy the thirst of the fair damsel.

of clippings lie the colorful trail
of an army career, scattered
throughout the sheets is a galaxy
of emblems, insignia, notes, pic
tures, and odd jottings taken dur
ing a military jaunt through the
branches of the armed forces.
A National Guardsman for thir
teen years, he served for eight try
ing seasons as infantryman in the
130th of the 33rd Infantry Divi
sion. Seeking newer fields of in
terest the officer strayed into the
106th Cavalry Unit of the 1st Cav
alry Division where he spent a
year jouncing over the dry prairies.
His transfer completed, he re
turned to Company G of the 147th
Infantry where he renewed his en
listment for four additional years
of service. Interspersed with a
collection of varied snapshots of
army life, yellowing from pasting
and ten years mauling are his fa
vorite infantry jottings ambled in
the prosaic melody of:
“The infantry, the infantry with
dirt behind their ears,
The infantry, the infantry drink
all the beers,
The cavalry, the artillery, the
corps of engineers,
They couldn’t lick the infantry
in a hundred thousand years.”
Upon his call into military in
duction, he entered OCS at Camp
Bullis, Texas, where he was grad
uated second lieutenant. He was
subsequently assigned to the Corps
Area Service where he was placed
in charge of the Casual Detach
ment Unit at Camp Shelby, Mis
sissippi. Among other duties, he
assumed the task of being assist
ant adjutant for official communi
cations.
Proceeding to the Army Admin
istration School at Louisiana State
University, he served on the execu
tive board of administration, and
having rounded a career of twenty
years since enlistment in October
16, 1923, he was promoted to the
rank of captaincy.
