FRIDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 20, 1944 THE BATTALION Page 3 Aggies Hold Weight Advantage Over Froggies But Handicapped By Injuries (Continued From Page 1) After a light drill Monday afternoon, the Aggies have been staging rough and tumble workouts all other days. Both defense and offense have been stressed during these sessions in order to get the team working more smoothly than they have in the earlier games. Injuries still plague the ranks of the Aggies, four back- fielders being slewed or benched for this game. Bob Butchofsky re mains the big question mark, but chances are he will see no action against the Frogs. Butch has taken no part in the drills since he suf fered a fractured jaw, and has al so been on a semi-liquid diet. Even if he were allowed to play, he would not be able to turn in his usual brilliant game. Bobby Goff is still suffering from a charlie- horse, but he will be in the start ing lineup.

Three close games are in prospect for this week-end, and one or two up sets can very easily occur. As all teams in the Conference are of fairly even strength, any one who tries to predict the win ners is sticking his neck out.

He was referring to his be close, but the Aggies, playing at home, should come through. S.M.U. over Rice—This is the hardest game of the bunch to pick.

Any public or private school of a high school level or under and operated on a non-profit basis, is eligible to apply for Federal as sistance. The exact amount of Fed eral assistance will depend on the financial need of the school and on the type of meal served. The main requisite for receiving Federal co operation in providing the school lunches is that a local school, pro fessional, or social organization undertake the responsibility of ac tually operating- the program at the local level. During the 1943-44 school year, more than 4 million children in 31,000 schools through out the Nation received lunches 'as a result of assistance from the War Food Administration, and it is anticipated that even more children will participate this year.

SAVING AMERICA TIME AND EFFORT To DEVELOP AND USE ways and means for saving time and effort is a typical American trait. You see it among your classmates and you exhibit the same shrewdness when you send your packages, laundry and baggage, home and return, by Railway Express. The pick-up and delivery at your door, and the quick forwarding by fast trains, or by superspeed Air Express planes, is a shipping service unique in American life. It has saved time and effort for generations of college students. These nation-wide facilities are now being utilized to their utmost by the government, industry and the public. You can help Railway Express to carry its share of this war-time load by doing three simple things: Wrap your packages securely—ad dress them clearly—express them early.
