Each company, however, must enter at least five men and enter at least four different events in or der that they may get the 50 point entry. This does not mean that each company must restrict themselves to five men; there is no limit to this. Remember that the meet begins at 2 so all those who are inter ested, be at the Natatorium ready to swim. Every interested Aggie is urged to compete in the meet. —AGGIE— (Continued iron Pag* 1) and track, the Glee Club, two years in the band, and the winning of the district meet in the American Legion Oratorical contest. Besides these many activities, Cone had time to become one of the few high school students who can rate a membership in the National Hon or Society. Cone is a member of the Singing Cadets on the campus and in the Field Artillery. SAM MIKULINSKY Sam Mikulinsky graduated from Eagle Pass High School, Eagle Pass, Texas where he lettered one year in football, three years in basketball, and one year in tennis. Being a first semester sophomore, Mikulinsky was elected to the posi tion of treasurer of that class. He is in the Field Artillery, the outfit he has been in since his arrival here three semesters ago.

You know it’s right nice to know that a few people besides my kinfolks read this column. AND I take it from the bleeds that came forth Tuesday morning because of the omission of said column that my morale in writing should be boosted considerably. Plenty of headline news about sports in store today so here goes . . . 8th CO. CHAMPIONS: The hats off Dept.: 8th Co. now takes pride in announcing that the Cam pus Intramural Championship in both Softball and Tennis is in our hands!!! In Softball 8th Co. won their last game, in the Champion ship play-off, from 1st Co., 9-7. Patton was responsible for 4 of the scores and Lipscomb and Haw kins shared equal honors by bring ing in two runs each. Stotzer pitch ed the entire game except for the relief given by Drake for part of an inning . . . Craig is still proud in thought that the last “out” he made decided the game . . . Schodde can’t stand the bases loaded; the strain makes him commit “third out” . . . Palmer, Morvant, Felger, and Villareal were all out there doing their part, too; it takes all of ’em working together to win, so honors are made accordingly . . . Even Sgt. Taylor gets that ole 11’ll grin when these Intramural Medals start floating out at forma tion . . . There were 12 medals given in softball. The awards were made to the eleven men mentioned above AND Jack Swatzell. Getting around to ye ole Ten- is fans now there’s still more news and awards to discussed — So bear with me—5th Co. won the toss and were allowed to match the players but what they didn’t know was that they did it all wrong. Brush up chums, your system would work if you didn’t rely on your own bad judgment ... At any rate medals go to Swatzell and Huber, and they really deserve theirs for winning that deciding match with 5th Co. ... To Lipscomb and Felger, who also won their match with the 5th Co. lads . . . AND to Stotzer, Buck, Patton, and Drake who too can wield a wicked racquet any ole day . . . The Inmates of Dorm 15 must be a sad lot—I suggest you see a few of the Walton boys for some “Campused Consolation” be cause missing the week-end activi ties will give a body the blues, you know . . . I’m licking my chops over a good story that’s about to break in Room 55. Ah yes, ole “wor ried” K. K. they calls him. Sorry pal, about that leg injury you re ceived at football practice. . . . For the benefit of those who weren’t there—You should have been . . . Speaking of course about the Houston Symphony Orchestra appearance on Kyle Field. The at mosphere, back drop, and lighting effects were excellent for an en joyable evening. Natch, as in con nection with all big affairs on the Campus, a big spotted bird-dog almost stole the show about mid way—but when the encores start ed I dare say not a soul saw the dog. . . . Brother, the looks of Conductor Ernst Hoffman proved pleasantly deceiving. With the playing of “Deep in the Heart of Texas” what should Conductor Hoffman do but begin the “Lindy Hop” first on one foot and then the other, personally, that group of musicians left no doubt in my mind that they weren’t plenty solid when they once started dishing it out ... Oh yes, to those who might be here next year Mr. Hoffman’s last words were that' they would try to secure the music for “Pis tol Packing”. Thanks a lot for a grand evening of musical enter tainment to all of the organi zation ... In the meantime “Beat the Hell out of Bryan Field”, the frogs have me doing it, and I’ll see you around come Tuesday. He who slings most mud loses most ground. He who works has the right to criticize. (This applies partly to the Batt.) Get in the scrap—beat the Japs. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH, College R. L. Brown, Pastor C.

Reflections— 543 Community Food Preservation Centers Are Aiding A recent survey in 186 Texas counties revealed that 543 commu nity food preservation centers are aiding Texans in stocking their war-time pantries. Milldred Horton, vice director and state home demonstration a- gent for the A. and M. College Ex tension Service, says these cen ters have been available both to rural and urban people. County home demonstration agents have given aid to 479 of them .... or about 88 per cent of those report ed. This assistance may have been in planning or arranging the cen ter, in training supervisors, in gi ving demonstrations on preserva tion or in meeting other problems of the center. Miss Horton ex plains. Two hundred and 57 home de monstration club women trained under the agents’ direction were reported to be supervising food conservation centers in the state. Their years of practical experience in food preservation have enabled them to render a great patriotic service to their neighbors, many of whom had no previous experi ence in canning and other conser vation methods. While the amount of food pre served this spring and summer is believed to have exceeded all past records, Extension workers pre dict a big expansion in canning, drying, and freezing of products this fall. The fall and winter Vic tory Garden campaign now is in progress. NAVY DANCE SEPTEMBER WITH JACK TEAGARDEN Another name band is scheduled to render it’s swing for the Navy. September 18th is the day, and we’re all waiting for the weather to cool off so we can dance instead of having to swim around the boards. One thing we ask, and that is for all you fellows to get out and dig up a dame, make with a snake, and cart your tomato to the show. And you stags, stay on the sidelines or else get up enough courage to cut in. Don’t just wan der around on the dance floor, ma king a nuisance of yourself and crowding the dancers into the mid dle of the floor on a spot about the size of a throw rug .... But let’s all be there and WITH A DATE. TO THE MIKADO FROM THE U. S. NAVY GUNNERS Six Mitsubishis — all set to dive Blip went a Browning — Then there were five.

Here I became a Radio Tech; Sure I was nuts but what the heck. I worked hard and you know why; I wanted the money and that’s no lie; But tubes and rules got me down, I knew then I was Great Lakes bound. To the Skipper I went, a transfer to get, To be a Seaman, my mind was set. I wanted my fun and future dates, With girls I knew, back at the Lakes. One bright day I polished my line. I had no interest for angles and sines. The very next day an order came through, ‘Go to the Lakes as a part of a crew’. I arrived at twelve that night; My well-known barracks plainly in sight. For a week I stayed in O. G. U. Never looking for something to do. On a Friday night the Chief told me, ‘Your chance is lost, you’re going to sea, As a second class seaman and no thing more, No rate for you, no stripes galore’. I’ve been to sea almost six months, I’ve had enough of this sea-going bunch, I’d like to go home, but for God’s Sakes, If I can’t do that, drop me off at the Lakes/’ —SPOTLIGHT— (Continued From Page 3) here will prove they were good on the field of athletics. The only sports championship of the Detachment they have not cap tured since arriving here was the softball round-robin and they beat the team that won the title 9-4 the only time old Squadron I was de feated. They were beaten 6-5 by the champs. However they have showed up well on the softball diamond as they placed their entire infield and an outfielder on the Detachment All-Star team which has brought a lot of publicity and good-will to the 308th C. T. D. with its wins the past few weeks. The biggest win was probably the 13-10 champ ionship victory they took from the Bryan Field Guard Sqaudron be fore several hundred Bryan fans last week. The All-Stars will miss Ed Martin, c; Jack Wright, lb; George Davis, 2b; Max Stump, ss; Bill Platt, 3b; and John Marnett, If. Golf has been a popular sport in the Detachment during the past summer and in the 308th C. T. D. play-off it was Squadron II that copped the title. The five men who won the championship for the departing Squadron by a wide margin were Jack Wright, John Martin, Walter Martin, Paul De- Natale, and Jack DeGroft. Squadron II had very little com petition as they ran way with the Detachment cross-country run championship. The first three men who crossed the finish line were from Squadron II. It was Willard Sellers, pint sized distance man, who broke the tape first and now holds the Detachment record of 7.15 for the cross country course. Gordon C. Cuneo, a good all-around athlete, was second in the cross country and was hot on the heels of the winner. Winifred “Windy” Davis, the lad who gave the crowd a big thrill with a splendid finish sprint to take third, is another Squadron II runner. Others who finished “in the money” were Charles Hays and Richard “Dick ey” Higgins. During our stay here basket ball has been a little out of season but has been played a lot by men of Squadron II. Several collegiate basketballers are on our roster and if we are still together when basketball season rolls around a team that will keep pace with most any can be put on the floor. The only tennis team organized in the Detachment was Squadron II and they almost wore their rack ets out practicing while trying to find another tennis team. How ever, if they were to be here a little longer some of the newer Squadrons might present some competition. The volley ball championship al so belongs to Squadron II. I have done enough bragging about the Sqaudron II athletes but giving credit were credit is due I should dorp a line about a gentleman named Edward O. Martin who has done much to develop the sports program. Eddie has worked with Segrest on the Physical Education program and has done a fine job. The Squadrons here at the pres ent and the ones to be stationed here in the future will benefit from the work done by Mr. Martin on the sports set-up. Trying to think of a departing statement you Sports Editor re call: “And for when the one great scorer comes to write against your name; remember it is not whether you won or lost but how you played the game.” —DISTRACTIONS— (Continned From Page 2) Showing at Guion Hall tomor row and Monday is SLIGHTLY DANGEROUS, with Lana Turner, Robert Young, and Walter Bren nan. Lana Turner is a madcap small town girl who is fed up with her humdrum life. She is fired from her job in a department store because of a scene she creats with the manager, Bob Young. Leaving suicide note she goes to the big city, where she spends her last $150 making herself into a social butterfly. Young thinks he’s the cause of the purported suicide and goes in search of her, finally locat ing her in the city. Complications set in when Lana gets herself adopted as the longlost daughter of a wealthy Watler Brennan. Dis covering she is in love with Young, she leaves her “papa” and goes home with Bob. The Lowdown: Funny and good. Lightning never strikes twice in the same place—so they say. LOUPOT’S Where You Always Get a Fair Trade SATURDAY MORNING, AUGUST 28, 1943 Immature Sweet Potatoes Rot Quickly When Storing Storage of vegetables on the farms, especially sweet potatoes, should be given particular care and consideration this year, says J. F. Rosborough, horticulturist for the A. and M. Extension Ser vice. Only those which have not been bruised, cut, or scarred should be selected. As a preliminary, sweet pota toes should be well matured before harvesting. Rosborough says this can be determined by breaking a potato and^xposing it to the air. If the sap hardens quickly and the surface remains bright in color digging time has arrived. On the other hand if the sap remains sticky and the surface turns dark green the potatoes are not ready for harvesting. Immature potatoes rot quickly in storage. Plow deeply to avoid cutting the potatoes and place them in rows, leaving an aisle about three feet wide for air circulation. An air space of six to ten inches should be allowed between the crates and the floor and around the walls. Al so allow plenty of air space at the ceiling. If the weather is clear and dry at harvest ordinary ventilation from open doors and windows will be adequate for curing. But if the harvest season is wet it will be necessary to check the storage room daily for surplus moisture on the outside of the boxes and walls. About two weeks of curing and drying of sweet potatoes is necessary. If cool weather should prevail during the curing period it may be necessary to set up one or more stoves to maintain a temperature of about 80 degrees. Afterward, ordinary daily temperatures are adequate in the storage house. Du ring frost close the house at night. In extremely cold weather keep enough heat to maintain a tempe rature above freezing.

We’re leaving here, looking like men, which is in part due to the mili tary drill and discipline that we have been subjected to at all times. Don’t let anyone kid you mister; when we walk down the street, we’re conscious of the fact that our shoulders are back, our chests are out and our er-ah—that is, our stomaches are in. It makes a man feel better. It’s been a pleasure and an honor for me to act as Squadron Com mander over a group of men such as we have. I’m quite sure that we will con tinue to be known as that “On the Ball” Squadron Two. If we don’t, it certainly will not be the fault of the training that we have re ceived while in the 308th C. T. D. Good luck gentlemen, and make the 308th the best always:—Ger ald O. Anderson. —KYLE FIELD— (Continued From Page 3) from the conference, we will have more boys in uniform than in any past year. N.T.A.C., who depends almost entirely on the navy boys for its team, has been subbed into the spot vacated by the Bears, and from all advance news they should provide some tough competition for the regular conference teams. But perhaps the most amazing thing is this: although Texas U. had 150 prospects, the Aggies 125, Rice with 80, S.M.U. with 35 and Arkansas with 40, there will not be more than nine lettermen and fewer squadmen than that return ing from last year! In fact, were it not for the Navy boys, some schools would have a pretty tough time getting a team together. Ex perience seems to be rather a gen eral need and there is a fair chance that the V-12 men can provide it. Arkansas, as well as the Aggies is depending solely on their own boys. Just nosin’ around we saw: Marion Flanagan back after work ing this summer and worrying about the navy; Warren Gilbert sweating in the uniform supply room and letting his new assistant, Frog Levy, do all the work; “Smit- ty” reminding the boys what their helmets were made for; Felix Bu- cek doing O.K. as the college all stars trimmed the Washington Redskins last Wednesday night to the tune of 27-7; all the boys hit ting the dirt hard as tackle prac tice got under way, and Coach Norton making his only comment, “Well, it’s not too bad.” The Texas high school east-west game is scheduled to be played September first at the Oil Bowl in Wichita Falls and ten Aggies have gone there already. It should prove to be valuable experience for the boys. That’s about it for now.
