Satuday in the woi’st de feat handed the Methodists by a Cadet team in 26 years. After a scoreless first quarter, the Norton- men went over for three touch downs in the second period, added one more in the third, and finished off with two more in the fourth. After a fumble had cost them a score in the opening period, the Aggies struck quickly in the second quarter to take the lead. After he had completed two passed to Cot ton Howell and advanced the ball to the Mustang’s 23, Jim Cushion took out around right end, cut back, and went over the goal standing up. Art Abraham converted. A few minutes later, Cushion shot another pass to Howell over the goal for , the second Aggie score. The next time A.&M. had pos session of the ball, they scored when Cushion lateraled to Goff who went the final 48 yards to pay dirt. Abraham again convert ed. In the third quarter the Aggies added six points to their total when Cushion handed the ball to Goff who raced 57 yards for the marker. The play followed a Mus tang punt.

The group was in attendance at last Saturday’s game in Dallas be tween the Aggies and the SMU Mustangs as guests of President Gilchrist and President Humphrey Lee of SMU. The newspaper group will not be able to visit the col lege, but several individual mem bers of the party have expressed a desire to come here, among them being Bill Cunningham of Boston. He may be able to leave the tour and come to the college later this week for a visit, he indicated to President Gilchrist in Waco Mon day. By S. L. “Slim” Inzer Battalion Sports Editor Aggies Wake Up . . . This writer has been saying for a long time that when the Aggies finally settled down and played football they were going to be hard to beat. Saturday the Cadets exhibited the brand of ball they should have been showing all sea son as they overwhelmed the Mus tangs. The Cadet backs must have had glue on their hands for the usual fumbles were absent, and that in a large part accounts for the one-sided score. The Aggies were not to be de nied in Saturday’s tilt, and even the 145 yards A. & M. received in penalties failed to slow them down. After piling up their huge lead, the Cadets punted on first down during the final period of the game. Jimmy Cashion was passing Southwest Scramble Arkansas really threw the South- Avest Conference grid race into a scramble Saturday when they- handed the Rice Owls a 12-7 set back. The Owls were previously favored to cop the crown, but their present outlook is none too bright. As the conference stands now, T.C.U. is leading the field with one win and one tie, Texas and Rice are tied for second with two wins and one loss each, Arkansas is third with two wins, one loss, and one tie, A. & M. is next _with one win and two losses, while S.M.U. is in the cellar with no wins and three losses. The Owls and Long horns each must face the Aggies, and if the Cadets play the football they are capable of playing they Experiment Station Directors Visitors On College Campus Two members of the U. S. For est Service, both experiment sta tion directors, were on the campus Friday to confer with W. E. White, director of the Texas Forest Service. E. L. Demmon, director of the Lake States Experiment Station at St. Paul, Minn., and Charles A. Connaughton, director of the South ern Forest Experiment station at New Orleans, spent the day with White. They were making a trip through Texas and other Southern states to introduce Connaughton to his new territory. Demmon, now stationed at St. Paul, is a former director of the New Orleans Experiment station. When transferred to St. Paul ear lier this year, he was succeeded by Conaughton. White and the two U. S. For est Service men visited A. B. Conner, director of the Texas Agri cultural Experiment Station at A. & M., C. A. Bonnen, farm and ranch economist, Dr. Ide P. Trot ter, director of the Texas Exten sion Service, and E. J Kyle, dean of the school of agriculture of A. & M. The men also conferred with the College Station staff of the Texas Forest Service. -PLUCK THE OWLS There are eight generals amofig the alumni of Ohio State Univer sity. -PLUCK THE OWLS- —STUDENT— (Continued From Page 1) ,2.52; Baugh, Elbert R., 2.75; Bay, William W., 2.47; Berry, William E., Jr., 2.25; Bird, Donald Lacy, 2.25; Blackstock, Albert W., 2.31; Bobkoff, Kenneth B., 2.25; Booton, Richard C., 2.60; Bullock t Harlan L., 2.45.

The line was up to its usual standard, allowing the Mustangs to score only after several penal ties had put the ball deep in Ag gie territory. If the Aggies have really cured their case of fumbleitis and can hold on to the ball for the rest of the year, they are going to be hard to beat. Coach Norton has the ma terial to win from both Rice and Texas, and if the boys make up their minds to win, win they will. should win the remainder of their games. T.C.U. still has Texas and Rice to play and from all reports the Frogs were wrecked by Navy transfers. The Razorbacks have only the lowly Mustangs to face before com pleting their conference schedule, and should win from the Ponies. If the Hogs do win from S.M.U., they will finish with three wins, one loss, and one tie. It all boils down to the fact that the outcome of the race depends upon the Aggies. They s§em to have the best chance to beat the Owls and Longhorns, and if they do, Arkansas will probably win the crown. If Rice or Texas should beat A. & M., then they would hold the inside track. 2.75; Copeland, John R., 2.50; Cor- gan, John M., 2.45; Culver, Roy Conner, 2.70.

PLUCK THE OWLS —AGGIE— (Continued From Page 1) artillery and on one occasion spent four days in an artillery obser vation post constantly under Jap artillery and mortar fire. His narrowest escape occurred when a Jap shell split the ground m front of an adjacent foxhole, throwing shell plinters into Colonel Vaden’s shelter. Vaden, whose parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. S. Vaden, live at 210 Ridge- mont Ave., San Antonio, was in the oil and gas business in San An tonio when he was called to active duty with the Army in November 1940. He attended the Battery Offi cers’ Course at the Field Artillery School, Fort Sill, Okla., for three months and then reported to Camp Roberts, Calif. The colonel was the thirteenth officer to report to Camp Roberts and the camp was then still in process of construction. He assist ed in the building of the camp and received the first trainees to be sent there. Later Vaden was ordered back to Fort Sill as an instructor in the tactics department. He then seiwed with the 85th Division Ar tillery at Camp Shelby, Miss, and as an umpire for the Third Army maneuvers in Louisiana in the spring of 1943. Grdered overseas from Camp Swift, Texas, he arrived in China in September, 1943, after a short period in India. He was assigned to Y-Force, the American liaison organization which trained and supplied the Chinese Expeditionary Force for the Salween Campaign and for several months instructed Chinese officers and non-commissioned of ficers in American artillery meth ods at a Y-Force Field Artillery Training Center. From the school he was ordered INTRAMURALS By Henry Holguin Intramural were hard hit by the corps trip last week. Since all in tramural games are played at four and five in the afternoon, and Cap! Debnam, Ex, Commended for Fine Service Captain Stephen A. Debnam, a former graduate of A. & M. has re cently been commended for con scientious and exceptionally meri torious service in connection with the collection and movement of inherent food reserves to the Paris region. When this officer took over his duties in the field, harvesting was I haps the toughest football league Saturday classes were being made up at that time, intramural games were postponed. A summary of this seasons play is as' follows. In football F bat tery has been outstanding. They have won all their games thus far, and need but one more victory to win their league championship. They have turned back E troop by 13-0, G company 14-7, and they defeated F company. G battery is the sole occupant of first place in league B. They have wop thir first two games. Zivney and Ellis have sparked the batterymen to these victories. The G battery, C Company game was a spectacular one, the batterymen winning - in the last thirty seconds of play. C Battery is in the lead in per- lagging, processing facilities were almost at a standstill, and the transportation and collection of in herent food supplies were serious ly confused. As a result of his ef forts the French Government Offi cials have been given much needed assistaitce and some thousands of tons of varied food supplies and produce have been moved to Paris. Capt. Debnam graduated from A. & M. several years ago and was the former county agent in How ard and Stonewall counties for sev eral years before joining the armed forces. -PLUCK THE OWLS- Bill Huddleston Represents Biol. Club Welfare Association The Biology Club will hold a meeting Wednesday night in the lecture room in Science Hall. Bill Huddleston will report on the trip to Galveston to the Texas Academy of Science meeting. Joe Crawford and Bill Huddleston were the rep resentatives of the Biology Club who were present at the meeting. A motion picture on Venereal Diseases will also be shown at the meeting Wednesday night. The meeting starts at 7:00 p.m. All members are urged to atend and visitors are cordially invited. to join the liaison team which Y- Force was preparing to send into the Salween combat area. He is entitled to wear a bronze star on his Asiatic Campaign ribbon for his service in the Field with Y- Force. Mrs. Vaden and two children, Mary Eleanor, 15, and Frank III, 10, live at 115 E. Wildwood Drive, San Antonio. They have won two games, but they have yet to play Red Grogin’s E company, who have been set back but once. A great deal of interest has been centered around this years in tramural basketball race. Two of the best basketball teams are found in league A. E company and B Battery are undefeated thus far, and when these two teams meet, the winner will probably go on to win the league championship. Johnny Young spaiks E company, and Dick Goad stands out for the batterymen. Three undefeated teams remain in league B. They are F Battery, B Company, and D Company, with B Company given a slight 1 edge over the others. They are given a higher rating because of two good shots on the team. The spark plug of the team is Milton Cher- no, who leads all three leagues in scoring with 18 points. E Troop and A Company are all tied up for first place in C lea gue. However, E Troop has but two remaining games on their schedule, while A Company must play three more games. E Troop is given a slight edge in this league. W. L. Penberthy wishes to ex press his pleasure in seeing the way in which everyone has co operated in helping make intra murals a great success this year. Orchids to all the athletic officers, and intramural managers for the efficient manner in which they have carried out their duties thus far. LOUPOT’S A Little Place - - - - - - A Big Saving!
