THE BATTALION
Page 5
Ags Clash With Baylor Bears Saturday On Kyle Field
Bears Are Heavier; Aggies
Practice Point Ricking
by Harold Borofsky
The Texas Aggies meet the Baylor Bears this Saturday
afternoon in a crucial conference game for both teams. The
Bears lost their opener to T.C.U. but bounced back and
handed Arkansas a defeat, thus staying in the running for
the conference crown. The Aggies, who lost a hearbreaker
to T.C.U. in their opener last week cannot afford to lose
another one. The Bears have a weight advantage of ten
pounds per man on the line and nine pounds per man in the
backfield, which may prove to be an important factor if the
game is played in the rain.
Anchoring the Baylor line will
be Richard Johnson who starred
for the Bears in 1942. Johnson
plays center and is a reliable ex
tra point kicker. Starting at left
end will be Joe Joiner, who cur
rently is rated as one of the top
ends of the conference. The other
end slot will be filled by J. W.
Arbuckle, while Clarence McGaw
and James Parker will hold down
the tackle posts and Mickey Attas
and Frank Devereaux will start
as guards.
The Bear backfield is one of the
most versatile in the South and
headlines Sammy Pierce is cur-
pound all-stater last year at Ver
non High School. Pierce is cur
rently the second ranking ball car
rier in the conference, being topp
ed only by Preston Smith of the
Aggies. Running with Pierce will
be Jack Price, who calls the sig
nals, Bobby Griffin, triple-threat-
er from Garland, and Billy Kim
brough, a dangerous passer.
The Aggies, stinging from last
week’s defeat, will be primed to
give the Bears the works. No one
was injured last week, and now
that Monte Moncrief has recovered
from an attack of the flu the
team will be at top strength.

New Healing Device
Secured By Vets
Recently the Department of
Veterinary Medicine and Surgery,
of which Dr. A. A. Levent is head,
has been able to secure the most
modern type of instrument used in
the reduction healing of fractured
bones, the Stader Reduction and
Fixation Splint. Thus two dogs,
each of which had a broken hind
leg have recently been benefitted
by these new instruments.
The Stader Splints were applied
to those two dogs by Dr. E. D.
Dwelle, who is assistant Professor
in the Department of Veterinary
Medicine and Surgery. Application
of the splint requires much skill
and fine surgical technique. Al
though it was Dr. Dwelle’s first
experience with the instrument
the operations were both successes
and both animals are recovering
nicely.
The Stader Reduction and Fixa
tion Splint was invented and per
fected by a veterinarian, Dr. Ot
to Stader. During the war produc
tion of the instruments was not
enough to allow civilian doctors to
use it and it was used mainly by
the armed forces, particularly the
Navy, whose surgeons did much
work with it on human beings. The
Veterinary School was honored by
the visit of Dr. Stader two years
ago, at which time he was guest
speaker for the A.V.M.A. chapter.
Recently some of the Stader
Splints have been made available

PENNY’S SERENADE

During the playing of a football
game many interesting and amus

to enjoy. To be in a “Bull Pen”

entertaining ex
perience because
I each one has a
little story to tell

Plan Barbecue
Cooking to dishwashing will be
done by the Dad members of the
A&M Consolidated School Moth
ers and Dads Club at the first
community supper that has been
planned by the club this year, it
has been announced by President
R. L. Hunt.
The supper will be held on No
vember first in the A&M Consoli
dated School gymnasium.
Barbecue, with all the trimmings,
ice cream and soft drinks will be
featured on the menu and the en
tire affair is in the hands of the
men of the community from the
planning, to the cleaning up. The
men have helped in the suppers
held in other years with the plan-
played in your life now is the
time.” We surely must admire the
youngster’s zeal and enthusiasm,
but like so many of us it was
wasted because it came much too
late.
We have all seen distance races
whei-e a x-unner would hang back
until the last lap and then come
dashing in with a burst of speed
that carried him well up in the
race, but usually failed to win him
the race.
We all like to see a fast start
and a stx*ong finish, but we must
not forget the all essential middle
part of any race or assignment,
and that burst of speed at the end
of a race somehow or another loses
its effectiveness and thrill when it
is started too late. The successful
people are the ones who start fast,
stay up with the crowd, and then
finish strong ahead of the field.
ning and supervision by the Moth
ers and a complete supper with
the ladies* as guests is expected to
be an innovation.
The community suppers which
| have been held as the major social
activity of the club for many years
serve a two-fold purpose, to bring
the community together and to
i-aise funds for the improvement
of the school. It has long been
one of the most outstanding fea
tures of the club with hundreds
attending. It is open to the entix-e
community.
Committee heads appointed to
can-y out the plans are F. I. Dahl-
