In the company of about 40 other Chinese scholars and diplomats, he took to the Phil- lipine hills, where for three years he applied his Horticultural train ing by growing vegetables for the little band. Prior to Manila’s liber ation, the group filtered back into Manila, and although a Chinese collaborator insisted that he be gin a Chinese school again in Man- nila, he refused then moved. He would have been killed for refus ing had he been caught again. In 1941, Liao had married in Manila and his first child, a baby girl, was gorn in the midst of the fight for the city. A boy was born as the Japanese burned Manila just before its liberation, and in memory of the flaming city, the baby was named Kwang Tien, or “Flaming Sky”. Mrs. Liao and the children are still in Manila await ing passport arrangements. Liao will return there upon graduation. —TICKETS— (Continued from Page 1) tickets is listed below: Monday, November 18, Tuesday, November 19, Wednesday, Novem ber 20, all students with books numbered 7200 and below ....Thursday, ..November ..21, ..if tickets are available, books num bered greater than 7200 Coupon books must be presented at the gate on the day of the game.

Roeber, Fiscal Office —THIS ANGLE— (Continued from Page 3) finally got the starting nod. Well, we’ve put it off as long as possible—but somewhere in this column, a prediction or two is due. Without further ado, we’ll take a rapidly fading T.U. eleven over an already faded T.C.U. squad by a 14 to 0 count; Tulsa over Baylor, 20 to 0 and for the upset of the week (there has to be at least one a week in the SWC), we’ll take S.M.U. to conveniently help the Aggies’ title hopes by toppling Arkansas, about 10 to 7. That brings us to Rice—A & M. Any sane man, after looking at the season’s records of the two clubs, would be forced to pick Rice. The question is, have the Aggies im proved enough of late to warrant disregarding past performances. If you like' past performances, take the Owls, 19-7.
