PAGE 6 THE BATTALION THURSDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 8, 1945 SHORT COURSE ENDS A group of county agents and agricultural technicians became the first men to finish an artificial insemination short course which was instituted last week by the Dairy Husbandry Department of Texas A. & M. College. Prof. A. L. Darnell, acting head of the Dairy Husbandry Department, stated that this was the first course of this nature to be offered by his depart ment, however, several men had received individual instruction in artificial insemination work previ ously. The student body of this first short course consisted of rep resentatives of organizations which were already formed and desiring information of this nature. They will return to their respective or ganizations and instruct in artifi cial breeding classes of their own. The first such series of classes is already underway in Cooke Coun ty at Muenster, Texas. This initial group was especially trained to act as teachers. Professor Darnell said that this special short course dealt with arti ficial insemination as it applied to Aggies! - A.S.T.P.! The A. & M.

He also added that he hoped the student body of such a course could be broadened in the future to in clude breeders, farmers, and other agricultural workers and that the course would become an annual event. There is widespread interest in this type of work by all men connected with livestock in any way. Darnell To Serve As Dairy Supt Prof. A. L. Darnell, acting head of the Dairy Husbandry Depart ment of Texas A. & M. College, will again serve as superintendent of the dairy division of the Fort Worth Livestock Exposition to be held in that city March 9-18. En tries for this division of the Fort Worth show will total from 225 to 250 animals according to an ad vance estimate made by Mr. Dar nell. Dr. W. W. Yapp of the Uni versity of Illinois staff is acting as judge for the dairy division this year. The dairy cows will be located with the remainder of the livestock show in the Will Rogers Coliseum. Professor Darnell is leaving for Fort Worth today and will be absent from the campus for ten days while acting in the ca pacity of dairy superintendent.

When the dust had finally cleared, it showed that G Battery held a close victory over C Company, and A Company had edged out Dorm No. 6. G Battery finally put their con test on ice with Bill Withers’ ring er in the last game, backed by a large and loyal section of Battery- men, Withers won the contest on his last throw. Bill pitches his horseshoes in a very unorthodox way, but he can put the hook around the pole, and that is what counts. The contest in which Collins and Bleyl of C Company and Oliver and Garrison of G Battery partici pated was attracting most of the attention at first because of the evenly matched and tense games. Oliver and Garrison took the first game, when Collins and Bleyl came back to match it. Collins and Bleyl put on the steam in the final game to pull their victory out of the fire. A Co. Nudges Non-Regs A Company nudged Dorm No. 6 right at the last. These two teams pitched like champions and the contest was the best in the tourna ment thus far. Ringers were not thought of as too much in these games, because it was as likely as —STUDENTS— Continued from Page 1 last years 115.

S. armed forces. Shot in color through the fighting ports and bomb bays of the B-17’s on their early devastat ing raids over Germany and occup ied France, the hour-long documen tary pulls no punches, showing American casualties as well as those of the Luftwaffe, then still in its full effectiveness. The picture is the one assembled and edited by Major Clark Gable from combat footage secured by the U. S. Eighth Air Force, and specifically from the continental runs of the 151st Bombardment Group out of England. Gable also acts as the narrator, and is shown several times on the field inter viewing pilots and crews as direc tor of a Combat Camera Crew. ' Action in battle is terrific and suspense will hold any audience breathless with anxiety. Many B-17’s are shown as battle cas ualties, as well as innumerable kills of German fighters by Yank gunners. Main action is the record of the 151st Bomber Group over a target in Germany to which they win through 200 Messerschmitts and Focke-Wulfs. The combat film was obtained by Major Gable, Capt. McIntyre and M/Sgt. Boles on bombing missions, and they completed the film for release here on assign ments to the 18th AAF Base Unit. A special invitation has been ex tended students and faculties of Consolidated High School and Stephen F. Austin High School, Bryan to attend the showings. not to be covered the next pitch. The last game was probably the most exciting because the previous victories of their respective teams hinged entirely on the outcome of this game. Keith and Mabone of A Company, and Stanford and Ross of No. 6 were the men this final pressure was put on. After split ting a game apiece, and the score of the final game being tied 16-16, the heat of the tension was ter rific. Keith then pitched one that took a lot of bickering to decide it was not a ringer. His next pitch, how ever, left no doubt with any of the spectators that A Company had won the tight match. His last pitch was as pretty a ringer as could be thrown. Thus far, more interest has been shown in horseshoes than was ex pected but the backing of the dif ferent outfits can still improve. The horseshoes champion receives as many points toward the intra mural pennant as the winner of any other intramural sport and it shouldn’t be regarded too lightly. Bob Morris Elected Pres. East Texas Club At a meeting held in the YMCA on February 28, the East Texas Club elected the following men as officers for the coming semester: Bob Morris, president; James Rike, vice president; Bob Overly, secretary and treasurer; and L. D. Hammet, reporter. —BALLS— (Continued From Page 1> and committees are being formu lated. Being considered at the present moment is a Senior Ring Dance for the new seniors on May 11. A proposal has been made that the Ring Committee allow those Sen iors classifying at the end of this semester be given their rings two weeks ahead of time in order that they could attend such a dance. Most of the seniors are not sup posed to be classified until the end of this semester and unless such a plan was carried through it would be impossible for them to attend the Ring Dance. Also carded for this semester is a dance on April 20, the night be fore the Aggie Muster. A Class Night program to be held in Guion Hall in conjunction with the Rev eille Fund Drive will precede the dance. Present at the Student Activi ties meeting were Joe Skiles, man ager of Student Activities; Dough Rollins, director of Student Wel fare; G. B.
