Shows for Service Men . . .
An All-Service Show produced by and for service men
is now the rage of the campus as far as entertainment is
concerned. With a dull Sunday afternoon in store for many
of the men who would have been unable to leave the campus
before it was begun, an entertainment “to blow the blues
away” was born. The second show proved to be as well-liked
as the first one was; it as liked by both the Guion Hall
audience and the listeners of radio station WTAW, which
put the program on the air for the benefit of those who
could not be present for the stage presentation.
For the men who make the show possible, a hearty
thanks should be given. Without such workers, an uninter
esting and dull day would be the fate of the men left on the
campus. Although the show is supposed to be an All-Service
Show, the people of the surrounding community can get
plenty of enjoyment out of it by either listening over the
radio or by attending the Guion Hall theatre. As one of the
spectators said about it Sunday during the show, “It is one
of the best things that has ever hit this campus.

ever the Nazis forced him to leave
China by threatening to recognize
Manchukuo if he were not expell
ed.
Bauer’s life gives him a good
background for his talk and a
great knowledge of what is needed
in post-war Germany. Germany
has now been enslaved by the Nazis
almost eleven years. They have
been living under wartime condi
tions all of this time. The damage
done to their mental and moral
senses is enormous. The reconstruc
tion and reorganization of Ger
many as a peacetime nation will
be a tremendous task for the Al
lies after this war. It will take a
great knowledge of the things
Germany needs to do a good job.
Bauer will discuss the possibilities
of a better Germany after this
war.
Bauer has lived in America since
he was expelled from China, mak
ing numbers of speeches on the
German situation. He is widely ac
claimed and sought after lecturer,
and few are better qualified to
discuss the pot-war problem than
he.

ed its recreation room. Every
Saturday night there is usually
a group that go there to read,

Tigers Clinch Bi-
District Title in
DefeatingMustangs
Consolidated Stomps
Marble Falls, 27-0
By Aerial Attack
Last Friday night, December 3,
a strong Tiger team rolled over the
Marble Falls Mustangs 27-0 to
clinch the bi-district, 19 and 20,
championship.
The Tigers started the ball roll
ing by scoring on a pass, Cashion
to Carrol in the first 8 minutes
of play. The Tigers scored their
second touchdown on another pass
Cashion to Carrol and Cashion
converted after both touchdowns.
In the second puarter Cashion hit
pay-dirt from the 1 foot line, but
failed to convert. In the third quar
ter Marble Falls started their of
fensive in earnest, but a strong
Tiger line held the Mustangs
scoreless. In the fourth quarter
Cashion passed 25 yards to Carrol
for the fourth touchdown and Cash
ion converted.
The most outstanding player on
the team was Bobby Carrol who
turned in a great offensive as well
as a grand defensive game. Or
chids go to the whole Tiger team
for a grand game. They were not
to win the bi-district championship
for the second straight time and
they got it-

Since Consolidated is a Class
“B” school the fighting Tigers
cannot go to regional. All they can
do is to wait until next year and
try to win again. Here’s hoping
that they can do it again.

AMERICAN HEROES
BY LEFF
The machine gun chattered defiance of the Japs. Their batteries
tried desperately to silence it. In the end they did. When Private
Peter Economopolos crept into the emplacement, the crew was dead.
He manned the gun, resumed fire. Mortar shells lobbed toward him.
The Japs had the range all right. Yet he kept firing until a shell
wrecked the gun and wounded him. His country has recognized this
Bataan exploit, awarding him the D. S. C. Will you recognize it
with an extra Third War Loan Bond?
—AMERICANS—
(Continued From Page 1)
This did not last long. Soon the
telegrams began to come in. The
grocery man’s deliver boy that had
enlisted in the marines was killed
on Wake Island. Gen. George
Moore and the class of ’40 were
reported captured on Bataan. Mrs.
Jones twin boys had both gone
down with the West Virginia. We
all went to church when services
were held for our young preacher
who had left as champlain for the
men in Coregidor. Our hearts
ached for best friends, fathers,
brothers and we mourned with
sweethearts, young widows, fath
erless children. All this and more
made each of us realize the ef
fect of the horrible phenomena that
was upon us. And each time we
felt the prick of the inflamed scar
on our back we swore to do more.
Yet while we hesitated to buy
bonds with the extra money we
made our boys paid their lives. We
did not give enough—they gave
their all. And why?
Each man had his own special
reasons for giving his life. Maybe
it was just all the things that
make an American an American.
For a farm and girl in the Connect-
icutt hills. For the plantation in
Georgia that stod for posterity and
security. For keeping the plains of
Texas stocked with cattle, not
beasts. For Christmas carols float
ing across a silent campus. For
hot, still days to lie along the
seashore and be content. And surely
as each of them fought they envi
saged the common deal of a bet
ter world in which their children
might live to prosper.
Neverthless, they fought as we
are fighting—to drive a fantical
race with their heathen ideas from
the face of the earth. On this day,
two years ago, the Empire of Japan
signed its death wararnt. Our men
have not died in vain for—with
the help of God and the pain of a
barmbaric thrust still in our back

Campus ‘Distractions
By David Seligmaaa
“Shadow of a Doubt,” comes to
the screen of the Campus Tues
day. This is an expertly made, sus
penseful drama directed by Alfred
Hitchcock, well known director
of such criminal analysis type of
films. In many ways it is reminis
cent of his “Suspicion,” but is a
much more human picture inas
much as its background is furnish
ed by a typical American family
and small city, the atmospheric de
tails of which are masterfully por
trayed. In this case, further, the
suspected man is an arch-killer
whom fate brings to a just death
in the closing scenes. So well is the
suspense maintained, however, it is
not until then that the audience is
sure of his guilt. The cast is ex
cellent, production is solid, and the
film should prove generally popu
lar. Teresa Wright and Joseph
Gotten are the stars.
The Lowdown: Topnotch pro

“Five Graves to Cairo,” star
ring Franchot Tone, Ann Baxter,
Akim Timiroff, and Eric von Stro

day feature at Guion Hall. Out
of the catagory of the two-bit war
thrillers so prevalent at present at
present, this film is a masterpiece.
The scenes are taken from Africa
during the time of the second at

most important role of his life with
all the ability and tact that years
of villainous parts have given him.
Tone is the young English tank
driver who takes the place of a
dead waiter in a small inn behind
the German lines. After much in
vestigation on the sly, he escapes
to report his findings about the
position of the German supply
dumps which spell defeat for the
German general. After some time
when the picture has elapsed, Ann
Baxter in the role of the daugh
ter of the innkeeper, Timaroff,
comes to love Tone- He promises
her a colored parasol when he re
turns with the victorious British
army after his escape. When he
returns she has been killed by the
Germans which adds a sad note to
the end of the picture.
The Lowdown: Brilliant acting
makes this one of the year’s out
standing films.
