Aggie Gagers Play Rice Owls Tonight In Houston
By R. L. Weatherly
Baylor Writer Slanders Aggie Cagers;
Invitation to Answer Column Accepted
Carl Hooper, sports editor of the
Baylor Lariat, invited us to answer
a recent column of that sheet in
which he made several remarks re
ferring to us; and he added addi
tional remarks about the Aggies.
Hooper said that the Aggies were
out-yelled when Baylor played here
in Aggieland by our own ASTP
men. For Hooper’s information the
Aggie Corps had the misfortune
of entertaining books for study of
exams. Theji too, the ASTP is a
yankee outfit and they would not
yell for the Aggies if the Cadets
played the Japs. It is true that
there is an ASTP outfit on the
campims composed of Activated
Juniors, but we can assure Hooper
that it was not them who did the
yelling for the Baylor quint.
Hooper went on to rub it in
about the Aggie loss to Baylor, and
came right out and asked us if we
had a record book. And if we did
to look up the score of the first
Aggie-Bear game of this year. We
do not- need a record book to re
fresh our memories, and if we did
we would quit writing sports.
In this column Hooper made it
plain that we were trying to make
up for a sorry basketball team by
ribbing him for not having a foot
ball team. We did not mean it that
way. And anyway, the Aggies are
far from having a sorry basketball
team. It is true that they have not
won a basketball game this sea
son, but that can be explained. The
Aggies do not have a letter man on
the squad, whereas Baylor has
Marlin Hicks, a letterman from
last year, and several Navy men
playing for them. To make up for
their lack of experience the Aggies
have spirit enough to have a bas
ketball team and it is too bad we
cannot say that for Baylor when
football is the subject.

that “wartime demands have push
ed the drain upon the forest 25
per cent above pre-war levels.”
Outlining “an effective forest
program” for America, the Chief
Forester asserted that “nation
wide regulation of forest prac
tices on private land is absolute
ly essential if needless destruc
tion of productive growth is to be
stopped. But,” he added, “regu
lation should be supported by an
expanded and accelerated pro
gram of public acquisition to re
lieve private ownership where
conditions make this equitable or
prudent. And regulation must be
supplemented by better protection
and by various aids to private
owners.”
To implement forest regulation,
he said new Federal legislation
would be required. He suggested
that this legislation should pro
vide opportunities for both state
and Federal action, and declared
that “as a minimum” the new law
must “prescribe standards for re-

quired forest practices and auth
orize the Secretary of Agriculture
to determine whether practices
adopted by the states conform to
such standards, to inspect enforce
ment of state laws, and to take
direct action where suitable state
legislation is not enacted, and
where enforcement of the practices
established are not adequate.”
Watts announced that “the For
est Service is now planning to
absorb thousands of men in for
est work in the period of demobil
ization,” the idea of the plans
being “so that we may be ready
with blueprints and organization
required before it is time to put
the men to work.”
Under Forest Service “Wartime
Activities and Accomplishments,”
with much of the work done in
cooperation with the Army, Navy,
War Production Board, Office of
Price Administration, or other
war agencies, the Chief’s report
highlighted the following:
The Alaska spruce log project,
in which aircraft spruce is being
rafted down to Puget Sound; the
Emergency Rubber Project which
up to last June planted 23,470
acres of guayule and processed
440 tons of high quality rubber; an
experimental goldenrod program,
involving 650 acres near Waynes
boro and Savannah, Georgia, was
also undertaken to carry on the
artificial rubber experiments be-

Aggies Fear Mighty Bill Henry, Center,
And Rusty Darling, Guard, of Rice Owls
The Texas Ag-gie basketball team will go to Houston to
night to play the Rice Owls in the second game of the series
between these two teams. The Aggies will be out for re
venge when game time rolls around, but the Rice Owls will
have the same quint that stomped the Aggies 63 to 23.
The Rice cagers will probably.*.
start Suman and Thomas at the
forward posts, Henry at center,
and Roach and Darling at guards.
Incidently, Henry made 27 points
in the last game with the Aggies.
He would have probably made
more if he had not be jerked out
of the game in the last half.
The Aggie starters will prob
ably be Atlas and Salibo as for
wards, Wright at center, and
Mohnke and Ekas at the guard
posts. It’s possible that King
might start in place of Ekas at
the guard post, for King started
in the game with Rice whereas
Ekas started in the game with
Baylor.
The Aggies will have to do the
best kind of basketball playing
known if they expect to defeat the
Rice cagers, for the Owls boast
the best cage team in the confer
ence. The Owls have three men
that are contestants for all-con
ference honors on the 1944 basket
ball team. These men are Bill
Henry, center, Don Suman, for
ward, and Rusty Darling, a guard.
Henry is undoubtedly the best
center of the conference, for he
stands six feet eight inches enabl
ing him to tower above the op
ponents goal and bat away what
seem to be sure goals.
Charlie Wright did a fair job
of guarding this Henry in the
first game between the two teams.
He made the elongated center very
nervous by wiggling his fingers
in front of his face.

The afttn :,! \ron meeting was turn
ed over to farm and livestock or
ganizations, representatives of
which elected D. T. Simons, Fort
Worth, speaking on behalf of the
Texas Jersey Cattle Club, as
chairman. Vice chairman was
Eugene Butler, publisher of Pro
gressive Farmer at Dallas, and
John R. Wenmohs was chosen
secretary.
After much round table discus
sion it was agreed that the State
Agricultural Postwar Planning
Committee should send copy of its
findings and recommendations to
each organization represented and
to other farm and livestock asso
ciations not represented, that
these organizations should approve
these findings and recommenda
tions, or offer constructive criti
cism of them in writing, or send
personal representatives to meet
with the State committee to dis
cuss proposed changes. Should
any farm or livestock association
disagree with findings and recom
mendations of the State committee,
such disapproval should be made
part of the report finally made to
overall committee headed by Dean
Gibb Gilchrist and which was es
tablished by act of the Texas
Legislature.
Disapproval was expressed by
some delegates over the makeup
of the Texas Postwar Planning
Commission in that one-third of
all the income of Texas people is
from agriculture whereas the in
dustry only had one representa
tive among the 31 members of
the commission.

day evening, January 28.
The first order of business was
the election of new members of
the board of Directors to fill va
cancies. For the two-year term
on the Board of Directors, Dr. G.
W. Schlesselman and Dr. Ide P.
Trotter were reelected, their prev
ious term having expired at that
meeting. Dr. H. L. Van Volken-
berg was elected to a position on
the Board of Directors in place of
Mr. C. B. Ray of the Agricultural
Extension Service who resigned
because he is leaving to join the
Navy shortly. Mr. Ray in turn,
had replaced Mr. C. B. Bowles of
the Agricultural Extension Ser
vice, who left the College to join
the Farm Credit Administration
in Houston, Texas.
Mr. Ford Hale was re-elected to
the Board of Directors for a term
of one year. Mr. Hale had re
placed Mr. H. A. Dulan, formerly
Clerk Treasurer of the organiza
tion and member of the Board of
Directors who resigned and is now
taking graduate work at the Uni
versity of Texas.
The only carry-over member of
the Board of Directors is Prof.
Daniel Russell, who has one year
more to serve. The credit com
mittee, composed of Dr. L. G.
Jones, Mr. Harry Boyer and Dr.
R. L. Hunt, was reelected.
To act on the Supervisory Com
mittee of the organization for the
coming year, Dr. George E. Potter
and Mr. Robert M. Pinkerton were
reelected. Mrs. George S. Bauer
was elected to this committee in
the vacancy caused by the resig
nation of Dean F. C. Bolton, whose
present duties as Acting President
prevented his serving any longer.
The Board ordered a continua
tion of the present interest rate
of two-thirds of one percent per
month on the unpaid balance in
any borrower’s account.
The financial report of the
Treasurer showed the organization
to be in extremely sound condition
with considerable surplus funds
on ahnd.
A dividend of 3% on fully paid
shares was ordered credited to
each member’s share balance ac
count. Any member of the organ
ization can withdraw all or any
part of his share balance in cash
at any time upon official request.
Plans are being worked out
whereby it is hoped the office of
the Credit Union can be opened at
all business hours of the college.
Mr. George S. Oettle of Johannes
burg, South Africa was an inter
ested visitor at the annual meet
ing of the Federal Credit Union.
Mr. Oettle saw an announcement
of the meeting and wanted to be
come familiar with this type of
organization. He is spending the
winter in Bryan and College Sta
tion studying our agricultural and
business activities.

50 per cent of them have adequate
supplies of milk.
