B Football Team
With B football teams sanc
tioned for the 1946 season, Homer
Norton, head coach and director of
intercollegiate athletics at Texas
A. & M. College, announced Mon
day that Charlie DeWare has been
appointed head coach for the B
squad but that his staff of assist
ants, to be drawn from the current
staff, will not be selected until
later in the year.
“We expect that some of our
former players whose eligibility
has run out will be back in school
in September and we probably can
employ them on a part-time basis
to help DeWare with his team,”
Norton explained.
DeWare is back at Texas A. &
M. after more than three years
service with the 25th Division in
the Pacific Theater. His organiza
tion battled from the South Pacif
ic Islands through the Phillippines
and on to Tokyo. He was discharg
ed as a first lieutenant in the In
fantry.
Prior to the war he served as
head freshman coach at Texas A.
& M. where hegraduated in 1937
after earning his letter three years
as a center. He was All-Southwest
Conference center in 1936 and co
captain that same- year.

High School Swim
Meet to Be Held
Here Saturday
Texas high school swimmers
will vie for the 1946 state titles
and school championships in the
P. L. Downs Jr. Natatorium here
Saturday evening, May 18, with
approximately a dozen teams en
tered from six Texas cities.
Highland Park, Dallas, is the de
fending championteam but in past
years has met with strong opposi
tion from San Antonio, Austin and
Houston schools. Art Adamson,
Texas Aggie swimming coach and
director of the state meet, says
that he looks for close competition
again this year.
Several top flight national swim
mers have emerged from Texas
high school meets and the South
west Conference teams all have
past high school stars as their
mainstays.
Events will include the 50-yard
100-yard and 220-yard freestyle;
100-yard breast stroke.; 180-yerd
medley relay; 160-yard freestyle
relay; and low board diving, or
eight events in all.
Van Adamson, son of the Aggie
coach, will swim for A. & M. Con
solidated High School in defense
of his 220-yard title. All coaches
have this lad tagged as a future
national swimmer but at present
he is being grought along gradual
ly by his father-coach. His time
compares favorably with South
west Conference times for the 220-
yard and 440-yard freestyle.
The higher one’s original intel
lectual equipment, and the more
continuously it is exercised, the
less marked will be its decline as a
person ages.
Two men were hospitalized in
Syracuse, N. Y., recently, while at
tending a nylon sale. Mere men
should know by now that it’s a
woman’s world.
The 1946 swim suits certainly
reflect the material shortage.
You’ll see less suit and more gal
at the beach. As some wag said,
“The girls are bare-ing up beauti
fully.”

principal speaker at the first post
war Field Day to be held at the
substation of *the Texas Agricul
tural Experiment Station near
Denton, it was announced today
by Supt. P. B. Dunkle.
The forenoon Thursday will be

groups over the experimental area
to study and discuss results of the
more important small grain ex

Pre-Meds Hear Dr.
Grant Speak Tues.
Holding its last meeting of the
current semester, the Texas A. &
M. Pre-Med Society heard Dr.
Richard T. Grant, ’25, deliver an
address on “The Advances of Med
icine in Wartime”. Dr. Grant stated
that a sad, but true, situation ex
isted in that discoveries and per
fections were always speeded up
in time of war. Citing examples of
antisepsis in the Franco-Prussian
war, and the new fields of anti
biotics in the last war, Dr. Grant
gave several interesting sidelights
on the new drugs penicillin and
streptomycine and the men who
perfected them. Dr. Grant, who is
from Bryan, answered many ques
tions of the embryo physicians af
ter his main speech.
Other business of the club in
cluded the reading of a letter from
Alpha Epsilon Delta, honorary
pre-med society of the university
of Texas, inviting members of the
Aggie society to attend their an
nual statewide banquet in Austin
on June 1. An interesting program
has been planned, including a dem
onstration of the electron micro
scope.
Plans for a final social were al
so discussed.
