FRIDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 3, 1944 THE BATTALION Page 3 Aggies Lead Conference On Offensive Average guard; Jim Young, right tackle; Mike Schumchyk, right end; Leon Pense, quarterback; A. Baldwin, left half; Frank Schumchyk, right half; and Tommy Donoho, fullback. BEAT THE HOGS (Continued From Page 1) Coach Norton’s gridders are leading the conference as far as offensive averages are concerned, and also boast the leading scorer. Paul “Bubba” Yates who has 48 points to his credit. Only two fumbles were committed by the Cadets in the game with N. T. A. C., so maybe their acute case of fumbling is a thing of the past. It was during the T. C. U. game that .the Cadets committed nine fumbles which paved the way for their downfall. Jimmy Cashion, regular quarter-'*- back, is expected to be in the start ing lineup Saturday, after being held out of action in the N.T.A.C. game. Jimmy suffered a leg in- . jury the latter part of last week, but seems to be about normal again. Performing in his position last week was Tom Daniels who took over and ran the team like a veteran. Gene Spires alternated between his halfback slot and the quarterback position and looked especially good on his passes. The Aggies starting backfield is still somewhat indefinite. Coach Norton can start either Bob Butch of sky or Mann Scott at the right halfback post. Butch is rounding into playing shape after being shelved with a broken jaw, while Scott has been coming along fast the last few games after get ting off to a slow start. The other three Aggie backs Saturday will be Jimmy Cashion, Bob Goff, and Paul Yates. Arkansas will boast a four pound per man weight advantage overv, the Aggies, averaging 191 pounds to the Cadet’s 187. The Hog line averages 191 while their backs hit 190. The Aggie forwards average 196 and the backs 170. Probable starting lineups are: A. & &M.: Cotton Howell, left end; Charles Shira, left tackle; Bill Gray, left guard; Bob Gary, center; Damon Tassos, right guard; Monte Moncrief, right tackle; Norton Higgins, right end; James Cash ion, quarterback; Bob Butchofsky, right half; Bob Goff, left half; and Paul Yates, fullback. Arkansas: Lamar Dingier, left end; Glen Halstead, left tackle; Henry Ford, left guard; Earl Wheeler, center; Robert Cope, right REGULATION UNIFORMS and EQUIPMENT Replenish your uniform wardrobe with the new Fall weight furnishings you’ll need.

After 28 years I felt it was coming to me. “But the job has been a major factor in my life. It’s been a great social satisfaction to me. I’ve got ten more out of it than I put in.” Upon being informed of the resignation of Law, Gilchrist said, “Texas A. & M. college has lost the services of a man whose entire life has been wrapped up in this institution. “Mr. Law has been extremely helpful to me both during my ten ure as dean of engineering and president. The progress of Texas A. & M. during Mr. Law’s tenure has been such as to prove the value to the state and to the institution of pai’ticipation of a successful business man in it’s affairs.” Gilchrist added: “He will be missed by his host of friends at the college but this loss is tempered somewhat by Mr. Law’s promise to maintain his intense interest in the institution, to visit us often, and give counsel and advice when ever it might be needed.” Harrison, the new appointee graduated in animal husbandry and served as a county agent for some time. Harrison does not suc ceed Law as president as the board members always choose their pre siding officer.

L. “Slim” Inzer Battalion Sports Editor Aggies, Longhorns, and Rice Picked This writer took a new lease on, life last week when he guessed four out of five games, missing only the Rice-Texas tilt. I might add that I didn’t feel at all bad about the outcome of that game and am willing to miss one like that every now and then. So it is with a new outlook that I attempt to pick the winners for this. Saturday. There are two conference games on the'card, the other two conference members tak ing on outside opposition. A. & M. over Arkansas—The Aggies have a better team than they showed against TCU in their only other conference outing. Ar kansas has a big team and are dangerous, but if the Cadets play the brand of ball they are capable of playing they should win. “Jarrin John ,, Returns When any sports fan thinks of football in connection with Texas A. & M., he usually thinks of John Kimbrough. Mr. Football himself returned to the campus this week and proved that his name still carries dynamite. All eyes in the mess hall were focused on him during the even ing meal Monday and the Aggies crowded around his table to meet and shake hands with the immprtal fullback of A. & M. John was just TEXAS over S. M. U. — This game maye be closer than most people expect, however the Long horns should win. If Layne, Pyler, and Fischer miss the game as the papers indicate, the Mustangs could easily win. RICE over Texas Tech.—Rice seems to have the top team in the Southwest at the present writing, and unless the Raiders have come a long way since the early part of the season the Owls should win. T.C.U. over Chatham Field. — The Frogs have been weakened recently but they still rate the edge over this Service outfit. RANDOLPH FIELD over N. T. A. C.—The hospitals at San An tonio should keep some rooms empty. as glad to meet the present Aggies as they were to meet him, for de spite his fame he has remained the swell person and Aggie he al ways was. “Jarrin John” is now a Captain in the Army Air Forces, and was by Aggieland to visit his brother, Jack. He is expecting to really get into the fight soon, and when he does the Nazis and slant eyes haven’t got a chance. Navy Troubles -f- Three Southwest Conference schools were hard hit by Navy transfers and examinations during the past week. Rice lost Buck Shef field and Joe Howard, two of their most dependable players, but they gained eight more men. None of the eight new men are expected to be outstanding gridders, how ever. At T.C.U., Coach Dutch Meyer suffered a repetition of the 1943 season when he found himself with only five starters from the early season team. However, Meyer was a little better prepared for these transfers this year than he was last fall. Over at the forty acres, Coach Dana Bible has losi five of his men. Phil Bolin, regular guard has been transferred, while Conda Ke- gans, A1 Martin, Paul Simpson, and Truett Peachey did not come up to the scholastic standards.

The meeting was addressed by President Gibb Gilchrist of Texas A. & M. College who, until recent ly, had been chairman of the Post war Economic Planning Commis sion. President Gilchrist resigned his chairmanship of the Commis sion on account of pressure of oth er duties and -has been succeeded by A. P. Rollins, Sr., of Dallas. President Gilchrist told the meeting th^t one of the first ob jectives set down by the Postwar Economic Planning Commission related to agriculture and called for stimulated “production of ag ricultural, forest and livestock products and the potential use of manpower in that field, including the development of processing in dustries for agricultural and other raw-materials and products.” Some 30 representatives of farming and ranching organiza tions, and State and Federal agri cultural agencies took turns giving their views on the major problems that will confront the industry aft er war’s end. In several instances suggested methods of handling these problems were enumerated. All this data will be at the dispos al of the seven-man committee ap pointed by V. C. Marshall at the close of the all-day discussion. BEAT THE HOGS Tickets Cost $1.42 For S. M. U. Game Aggies who have been wondering about how they were going to get their girls into the S. M.
