Aggies To Have Only Slight Edge In
Tonight’s Tussle With Texas Tech Raiders
Yes sir, it looks like a fairly
close game is on tap for tonight
when the Aggies tear into their se
cond game of the season at San
Antonio. The Raiders, though they
have lost some of their men, still
have a formidable team to put
on the gridiron against the Cadets.
Head Coach Dell Morgan of the
Raiders says that his boys are in
top condition for the battle and
should give the Aggies a close and
thrilling game. The Raiders’ spe
cialize in a flashing passing and
running attack and in their pre
vious games their motto seems to
have been “strike hard and fast.”
However, Coach Homer Norton, the
Aggie mentor, believes that our
boys are a match for the Tech
men. Most of the inconsistancies
that showed up against the Ags
last week have been ironed out and
the boys should be ready to play
a brand of heads up ball that
should be hard to beat.
Nortons’s squad of 35 men is
in San Antonio now, and the start
of the game should see the fol
lowing lineup in action:
Aggies Pos. Raiders
Geer L. E. Bechtol
Bryant L. T. Gillenwater
Turley L. G. Read
Wright, R. C. Williams
Neville R. G. Pirtle
Moncrief R. T. Robertson
Settegast R. E. Anderson
Butchofsky B. B. Melton
Turner F. B. Winkler
Hallmark T. B. Thompson
Flanagan W. B. Brew
The Raiders, in their first game
of the season, beat Lubbock Army
Air Field and then, in their second
encounter, took the strong Oklaho
ma A. & M. team by a one touch
down margin, 21-13. Having a total
squad of about 40 men the Raiders
should not be in any trouble as far
as substitutes are concerned, but
according to Manning Smith, Ag
gie backfield coach who scouted
the Raiders, they may use subs
sparingly and one or two at a
time. It seems that we may be able
to tire them down by using a team
subbing method.
At any rate, it’s going to be
close. The thing to do is get down
there and see it for yourself, and
since that’s where I’m in a hurry
to get, that’ll be all for now. See
you in SanTone!

C. Q. Ramblings
Marine Mad-Caps
Wedding of the Month
Master Technical Sergeant
Joseph W. Peden, Jr. son of our
Commanding Officer here at the
Marine Aviation Detachment was
married on the 18th of September
1943, in St. Raphael’s church in
Goleta, California, to Miss Shirley
Juzan of New Orleans. Master
Tech Sergeant Peden, Jr. is the
only son of Mr. and Mrs. Peden and
has recently returned from active
duty at Pearl Harbor and Mid
way. He is now stationed at the
United States Marine Air Base at
Santa Barbara. Though few of us
here know Master Tech, Sergeant
in Los Angeles and will reside in
i.Snta Barbara. Though few of us
here know aMster Tech. Sergeant
Peden, Jr., personally I think we
can be bold enough to wish them
all the luck and happiness we know
they deserve.
Five new instructors have joined
the ranks with our new efficient
staff of Marine Instructors at An
chor Hall (Radio) school. These
men were picked from Company
26A and B and we hope these men
maintain the same decorum and
efficiency the present staff of in
structors at school do. There is
little doubt in our minds that these
men will make the grade as in
structors because of their past
school records. Corporal Racker-
by finished number one in a class
of more than 150 men; Corporal
Shuster and Corporal Tallon were
32 and 23 consecutively; P F C
Wynne and Ray were also near
the top of the class. This was not
considered when selection was
made, because a man with excel
lent marks in school don’t neces
sarily make an instructor of other
men in the same subjects. There is
a little more to it than that. First
he must know how to handle men.
Second he must command respect
from thes men. And third he must
be able to teach his subject simply
enough so as to be sure that each
and every man in his classes under
stands what he is learning. We
wish to extend all the luck in the
world to these new student in
structors and know they will make
a fine job of teaching at Texas A.
& M. Naval Training (Radio)
school.
Ho-hum-dept.
Thrill of a lifetime was to be
stopped the other evening, after
the press club dinner, by two
MPs who had been eyeing me su
spiciously. It was considerable af
ter C. Q. Finally they approached
and wondered if I was absent from
my company. Very nonchalantly
we handed them our written pass.
Ho hum. . . Ho hum.
Superior officer
Lt. Pickett showed all the attri
butes of the superior platoon lead
er at the PCB we are still raving
about. One minute after entering
the banquet room of the Press
Club affair he had sized up the
situation, reached a conclusion and
captured his object or was it just
coincidental that he sat to lovely
Lou Ethel Taylor.
Comics back
Welcome note in GI routine is
the return of the fall radio shows.
Also back is the mercury that had
been spending the summer crawling
out the top of local thermometers.
Sharp outfit
Company Commander Jors look
ed mighty happy after the review
the other night. Thfe first com
pany were right on the ball in the
drill. The other company officers
are beginning to notice that the
first company has half again as
many men as any other company
and with a twenty man formation
front it takes a dang good outfit
to make those right and left turns.
Glove in face
Met the ACTP scribes at the PCB
and found them most likeable peo
ple, very friendly and all that .
. . West doesn’t look at all like
Bob Benchley but is a darn nice
fellow, anyway, discussed plans for
friendly ASTP-ACTD feud but both
believe that censors will not pass.
The lads would like to challenge
us to a drill or review.
We want to take this opportunity
to express our appreciation to
Major Apple and Lt. Morgan for
their untiring efforts together with
those of Sgt. Sabo and the men
of the fatigue details in making
the grounds around dorm eleven
so beautiful.
Whether it’s two, four or six
more semesters that we lack in the
school of Veterinary Medicine, we
must admit that the short but
much needed furloughs boosted our
morale 100%. After four months
Air-force
1st company former air-corps
men are pointing with pride that
one of our officers has passed the
tests for entering the air-corps and
is now taking his physical at
Kelly field. Lt. McClenathan, for
mer M. T. instructor left last week
for the exams.
Clip-joint
If a good sheep shearer could
be found he would make a fortune
setting up a hair cutting parlor
in the vicinity. The local clip art
ists seemingly have no artistic na
ture and that scalped look on many
GIs actually comes from being
scalped. I didn’t notice but I think
my barber used an axe, a very
dull axe, to cut mine.
of grinding since the last holiday,
the carefreeness of irregular meals
of night long dates and of see
ing old friends. (All the male
friends are in the service has
given us new strength. Boy! I
make a motion that we have a
three day furlough at least once
a week. It was hard to keep from
hollering for the “bullneck” a few
times—in fact it wasn’t meat that
I hollered for that made my face
so red when we had that big din
ner with all of the relatives Sun
day.
Talk about sweating—maybe
it’s a little late to talk about it,
but brother, let me tell you, there
was blood aplenty sweated before
those last exams we had . . . Re
member those finals in Pharmacol
ogy and Physiology and those much
needed grade points that were edg
ed out of R. S. 315 and Public
Speaking ?
Is it true that under the ASTP
program the necessary books are
furnished free for the asking ?
That ten spot you saved for a new
Best and Taylor or that month’s
wages you should have saved for
Pharmacology books surely would
set you right with the little wom
an, if used for a nice birthday
present. By the way, don’t forget
birthdays. It is plenty alright to
get a lot of presents when that
birthday comes around. Presents
in the form of greenbacks are very
useful and more appreciated.
If this paper was much bigger
we’d have to put in a Dr. Cox
State Health Department story.
Now listen you’se guys of 2nd
Co., if you have some good hot
news that won’t wait, don’t hesti-
tate to bring it to Joe Beninson so
he can see that it is passed on
to you.
It’s always good psychology to
print names, lots of names, in any
newspaper column. Now, how in
the name of the great horn spoon
can it be done when we can’t get
news out of you?

gasoline runs out. Tension mounts
to an explosive climax. Tone is
the pilot, Marsha Hunt is the girl,
and Gene Kelly, the remorseful
fellow pilot who might have been
the third figure in a triangle.
The Lowdown: A good one for
adventure fans.
A fast moving action packed
drama is the bill of fare at the
Campus midnight tonight and
Sunday and Monday.
Starring Jean Arthur is one of
her best roles as a girl who holds
her own in a world of men. The
story takes place in the territory
of Arizona soon after the Civil
War. William Holden takes the
male lead. There's plenty of action
in the picture with lots of gun
shooting and killings. The roman
tic deal is o. k., with Holden and
Miss Arthur ending up at the al
tar together.
The Lowdown: You ought to like
this one.

nent people.
One of her most outstanding
works is the portrait of thp late
Dr. Mark Francis, who before his
death was the foremost professor
in the School of Veterinary Medi
cine. Dr. Francis’s portrait now
hangs in the office of Dr. R. P.
Marsteller, who is dean of the
School of Veterinary Medicine.
Miss Hanes also did the murals
in the Cushing Memorial Libra
ry.
Work on the portrait of Gen
eral Reveille will begin immediate
ly in the hope of completing the
painting by Thanksgiving for the
unveiling and dedication before the

IntramuralsSoon
To Get Underway
In an announcement by W. L.
Penberthy, it was revealed that the
intramural program for the fall
semester would get under way at
an early date.
Penberthy will meet with the
athletic officers of the various
outfits next week and it is sug
gested that each outfit begin to
think about who they want as
athletic officer for their unit. This
office is responsible one and the
seriousness with which it is taken
will determine the company’s final
standing in the intramural league.
The Physical Education depart
ment will present a well balanced
program this semester under in
tramurals, beginning with touch
football and basket ball, which this
will be indoors.
The Government’s request for
these materials is urgent, and for
patriotic reasons we should do our
best to meet the situation.

WEDDING BELLS
Well, we have three very happy
boys in the outfit now. They have
really joined America’s fighting
forces in a big way. In short, Ice
land Grumbles, Kid McCoy, and
Robert Garrett have crossed the
threshold of matrimony.
At the home of Dr. and Mrs.
Jonnie Scheweda of Lockhart, Tex
as, Miss Wynona Wilson of Cald
well, last Saturday night, became
the bride of Kid McCoy.
Robert M. (Bob) Garrett mar
ried Miss Clois Watson at three
o’clock Sunday afternoon. Mr. and
Mrs. Garrett are both from Con
roe, Texas.
Miss Helen Battle of Jasper be
came the bride of Leland Grumbles
last Saturday at 9:30 p.m. in Gal
veston. Leland is also from Jas
per. Charlie Bridges acted as best
man.
These are all the marriages that
we know about, but inasmuch as
news is so hard to dig out of some
of the fellows, thre N might have
been some that we didn’t hear
about. Congratulations to all of
you.

the magic ingredient, solv-x.
Solv-x roots out the causes of
most pen failures. It fights
off the metal corrosion and
rubber rot always caused by
highly acid ink. It ends clog
