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

dairy cattle, but that the general
principles of the course were the
same for all classes of livestock.
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.

the last game. 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

“Combat America” relates the
most sustained, exciting and dead
ly aerial battles yet to come from
the cameras of the U. 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

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.

and committees are being formu

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

eille Fund Drive will precede the
dance.
