LOUPOT’S A LITTLE PLACE - - A BIG SAVING! —AGGIES— Continued from Page 1 that was the date of the group’s second anniversary in the Mediter ranean Theater of Operations and it was also the eve of its 2500th combat mission against the Nazis. The citation covers the day of the Salerno invasion, Sept. 10, 1943. On that day, the 27th, then flying A-36 Invaders and com manded by Col. Dorr E. Newton, Jr., Fox Hollow Farms, Malvern, Pa., in the words of the citation, “set itself above and apart from other similar units ... in the same engagement,” when it “completely neutralized the combat effective ness of three Axis panzer divi sions.” In a “grueling, daylong assault,” the general orders read, “the 27th Fighter Group, coordinated with attacks of other units of the Allied Air Forces, prevented the transfer of overwhelmingly powerful rein forcements and contributed in great measure to the successful estab lishment of the Salerno beach head.” The citation particularly lauds the “skill and devotion ... of the group personnel. ’’The invaders were based at that time on Sicily. Over half the ground personnel were on landing craft and on the beachhead, under severe artillery fire and aerial attack, waiting to establish a new air base on the European mainland. The rest re mained in Sicily; laboring night and day to keep all aircraft flying despite heavy damage from enemy anti-aircraft fire. The highest trib ute is paid to these ground officers, crew chiefs, armorers and engi neering, communications, ordnance, and administrative personnel for “the great credit they reflect upon the military service of the United States.” The 27th Fighter Group has pre viously been cited for its gallantry in action on Bataan and Java and in the skies over Australia in the early days of the war with Japan.

L. “Slim” Inzer Battalion Sports Editor Yours Until I Pick a Winner DO YOUR PART * BUY WAR BONDS Well, ole Army it looks like I have finally come to the end of my rope, but it is with regret that I sit down here and bang out Kyle Field for the last time. It has been fun, and I hope that my readers (both of them) have enjoyed read ing this column as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Fond memories will always re turn when I think of the “Fall of ‘44,” even though we didn’t win all of the ball games. The SMU and Rice games, the nights before and after the SMU and Rice games, Silver Taps at Austin again. Corps Balls here when we played on Kyle Field, fumbles and more fumbles, those two nights in San Antonio, the thirty hours it took me to hitch-hike back—these are some of the things I will think of when I think of my last semester at A. & M. As for my predictions this year, I don’t think I was as bad as my average showed, but what is my word against 2, 000 Aggies. Good luck, Army, and “Skin’em Alive in ’45.” Faculty Volleyball Players Needed Attention is called to the fact that more faculty members are needed to engage in the faculty volleyball games. It was pointed out by a member of the faculty that in order for the plans to be successful, a larger number of men must turn out for the games. On next Tuesday, January 30, at 7 p. m., the next meeting of those who wish to play will be held. The men who participated in last times games have expressed hope that there will be a large number of men at this meeting. —PROGRAM— Continued trom Page 1 structive administration of the School of Agriculture, by which it has attained nationwide prestige. In the work of the Council itself, his services as a member of its Executive Committee, as Chairman of the Course Committee, and re peatedly as Chairman of the Fac ulty Committee on Athletics and the Athletic Council have been of outstanding value. “In expressing its appreciation of his past services, the Council re joices in the prospect that he will continue, to serve the College in ways for which he is particularly fitted, and expresses the sincere hope that he will find happiness in the performance of his new duties.” Also on the records of the Academic Council is a resolution regarding the services of Dr. George Summey Jr., who has re tired as head of the Department of English to devote his full time to instruction. It reads: “The members of the Academic Council wish to express to Dr. George Summey Jr., their sincere good wishes upon his retirement from the Academic Council to as sume larger teaching duties. The Council will miss his steadying in fluence, his sound realistic advice, which is modestly and considerate ly given, and his willing helpful ness, which has let to the solu tion of difficult problems. “A man whose judgements are founded in thorough-going scholar ship, Dr. Summey is a force for good on this campus. By his publi cations and reputation among Eng lish scholars throughout the na tion, he has added to the stature of the College It is fortunate for the College that, in his future serv ice, his wholesome influence on students will not be lessened, and his opportunity for scholarly ac complishment will be continued.” This resolution was signed by B. M. Faires, L. G. Jones, and T. D. Brooks. Both resolutions were submitted to the Academic Council through Executive Vice President F. C. Bolton with the request that they be made a part of the minutes of the Council and that a copy be given each of the two men com mended.

Bynes As the picture stands at present, it looks as though Bob English’s F Company has a mighty good chance to cop that coveted intra mural banner for the coming se mester in that they are among the finalist in both the touch football division, the speedball division, and they have just snatched the crown in the volleyball department. Thursday afternoon, the infan trymen from south of Sbisa Hall escorted B Battery out, as far as the championship in volleyball was concerned, with their two conse cutive wins of 15-4, and 15-14 to grab the volleyball championship for themselves. Playing heads up ball all the way, the boys from F Company routed the buggy- bitches in the first performance, 15-4. Although you couldn’t prove it by the score, the battery-men— with Goad, Peterman, and Kidd at the reins—made a fine effort to pull the game out of the first for themselves, but the colorful skill ful play of fish Howard and Eng lish was just too much for the slightly crippled B Battery. Sev eral Batterymen were not able to participate in the contest. B Bat tery managed to eke out a momen tary 11-10 lead several minutes af ter the outset of the second feud largely through the helpful kibitz ing of Dick Goad with his fellow teammates. In gaining the finals, English’s outfit—although dropping the first Timber is a merchantable com modity of constantly increasing value. Owners Warned To License Pets City Manager Lloyd Smith warns all dog owners in College Station that beginning Feb. 1 city authori ties will enforce the ordinance re quiring each dog have a license tag attached to his collar. Before the city office will issue such license tag the owner must present a cer tificate signed by a licensed vet erinarian showing the dog has been inoculated against rabies recently enough for such inoculation to be effective during the period for which the license tag is to be is sued, Smith said. “We must cooperate with the Texas A. & .M College in con trolling rabies in our city for the protection of the students, Army and Navy personnel and our civil ian population,” Manager Smith ex plained. If dogs are picked up without licenses they will be destroyed within 48 hours unless called for by their owners, he added. Even when a dog is picked up and called for the owner must pay a fee to the city of $2.50 plus the cost of the license before the dog can be released. Smith also warned that Ordinance No. 50 provides the City Marshall shall destroy a dog which is impossible of capture. Mr. Smith asks the cooperation of all dog owners of the College Station area in this public health campaign. HELP BRING VICTORY BUY MORE WAR BONDS game 11-15, they went on to defeat E Troop in the next two: 15-7, and 15-9; even though the oval did connect with fish Howard’s breadbasket once or twice during the game. English displayed typi cal Aggie sportsmanship late in the fourth period as cold sweat was drooling down the collars of ev eryone present, when he allowed the game point to be played over because some anonymous student unconsciously got in the way of the ball. Everyone present from F Company was happy about the whole thing, and why shouldn’t they be, for on the next play of the game they stacked up the championship for themselves. Wednesday night, the B Com pany infantrymen literally plowed A Company under with a very one sided score of 37-11 to emerge as champs in .the basketball division. In the touch football finals, A Company is scheduled to - meet F Company sometime later in the week. In a game which can be describ ed truthfully as “big versus lit tle”, F Battery, relying mainly on the might of Sacra, and Shira, first string tackle of last years team; managed to plug up a last minute tie to emerge as semi-fin alists in speedball. The comparatively diminutive A Battery, sparked by the skillful play of pint-sized fish Pryzant, kept the big boys on their toes most of the game. Pryzant had to leave the game late in the fourth quarter when he sustained a pain ful bruise on the calf of his right leg while preventing the massive Shira from counting for t|ie F Bat terymen near the end of the game. Other standouts for A Battery were: Lonquist, Henning, Corn- forth, Lane, and Higgins. The final score was 5-4, F Battery over A Battery. F Battery gained the semi finals by tromping B Company Spring Football Practice Begins Here February 5 Coach Homer Norton has issued a call for football candidates enter ing Texas A. & M. College too late last fall to try out for the Maroon and White team, or high school boys entering school at beginning of February semester to report for two or three weeks of individual attention practice beginning Feb. 5. Texas Aggie lettermen and squadmen from 1944 who may be in school at opening of fall prac tice also will report for work outs and will help Norton and as sistants train the new men. 18-3, while A Battery whipped E Company to meet F Battery.
