Lat's eaa what Deoph without mechanical help: In the fasteet two-mile walk on record, a Swede averaged about 9tt miles an hour. Running at top speed, the world’s fastest rprinters have averaged 21.7 miles an hour for 100 yards. The beat 100-yard swim on record was a little over 4 miles an hour. Compare these feats with the performance of other creatures: Record books indicate that a horse named Big Racket galloped 43 miles an hour for a quarter of mile in 1945. The graat Equi tae averaged 38.1 mile* an hour r a whole mile in 1932. As for swimming, the fastest tmk -it behaved Ac be «h» Tana which can do shout 60 miles an hour. Among birds, the fastest known to the Smithsonian experts is the Swift. In 1922 a flock of Swifts was clocked in India at from 171 to 200 miles an hour over a two- mile course. Now let us see what man can do wit hhia brains as well as his feet. By fastening metal blades to his shoes, he has been known to aver age 24.9 miles an hour for 220 yards on the ice — considerably faster than he could have run the same distance. ★ A man riding a bicycle in 1922 averaged 10.6 mile* an hour fu? a quarter of a mile. Four men in a Babbled can tip down a mountainside at around 4d mil** an hour. A German rude a motorcycle at 174 miles an houi in 19.17. Day before yesterday a new automobile word of IN,194 miles Letters The Battalion is always glad to print letters to the editor, whether we agree with them or not. How ever, it is necessary to inaiat on certain conditions which make for “fair play. H Letters must be signed, showing the real name of the writer and his college address. The name will not be printed, if the writer asks that it be withheld. Letters may be highly critical, but should not be abusiva. Natur ally, they cannot be printed At all if they are libelous or obscene (Th, we do receive obacene letters sometimes.) So send aloag your letters. This column is really a bull- session in print. We’re always glad to print them, even when you call us nincompoops, idiots, and damn-biased bootlickers. Aggieland”, I decided to find oat for myself. Equipping ray maroon ear wKh Aggie pennants, stickers and straamen, I rushed madly toward the gate, throwing on my brakes at the last minute and screeching to a stop beside the little house at the entrance. I wanted to see if he would draw his gun. >. But he didn’t “Don’t drive dum fast* he growled—and then waved me in, without asking if 1 were a sophomore, junior or senior student In fact, he didn’t ask if 1 were a student at all, perhaps mak ing a snap judgment from the waj the car waa decorated. Look here," I said. “Aren’t you stationed here to shoot at Aggies from the main campus who try to crash the gate at this annex?" “None of my businoea,” he an swered. "The Array pays me to keep spies from running off with the hangars.

I’m s student from the main campus, end 1 understand you have strict orders to keep me out.” Don't get excited,” answered the officer. “If you were in cadet uniform, I would ssk you, as s military courtesy, to report your presence to the security officer, end check out with him before you leave. Yes. please remember that we have CQ here, so use discre tion.” With that, he left me. Severely let down after all the rumors I had heard, I climbed back into my maroon car and drove back to College Station.
