Lady Cage Scorer Darling of SMC - '■ p {DALLAS —WPI— The Arkansas player came to the scorer’s bench There were two sports writers and a woman sittipg there. The player gave his name to one of the men and started into the basket ball game. “Hey,” the woman called. “Over here.” Pained at a female’s intrusion into masculine business, the hus ky athlete inquired indignantly ol the sports writer: “Do I have t< tell HER?” The woman instantly fixed fiery eyes on the player and archly informed him of a fact he trill never forget. “Listen, Junior,” she said oversweet tones, “I’ll have you know I’m official scorekeeper.” The young man gulped “Yes’m and hurried off to help Arkansas wallop Southern Methodist, j The lady in the case, Miss Aline Hamlett, is constantly run ning into such things.

Try Placement , i__ . j | By L. O. TIEDT Now that the sun is shining longer each day and the end of the semester draws hearer and nearer, some of the more industrious freshmen at the Annex are beginning to think of summer employment. For what reason? Why, to stack up sufficient funds ,to return to A&M next fall, of course.

Mid officials of the eollegje’a medical department Tues day afternoon. Tha number of cases here are only a part of a state wide epidemic. / ; Living as close together as the students at the Annex do, said Mrs. D. H. Arenburg, nurse at the Annex clinic, they have not re ported very many cases ns com pared to the number of students housed here. The only way to com bat the disease is to use an alert eye, remembering that the symp toms for measles are small lumps behind the ears and about the hairline. The eyes usually burn with a red color, and a temperature is usually present that the inti vidual is unaware of. Because of the number of cases present here, the Medical depart ment of the Annex advises that all company first sergeants or some officer of each company hold pe riodic checks of each man in his unit until the outbreak subsides. ci !rtt Baft ere [a •afc on my birthday, January 13*1 vfb.it ■ the Air Force was here.

By V. Z. MARTIN | A local freshman brought a bit of academic recognition to the An nex * when he and senior Larry Goodwyn defeated the United States Military Academy debating team. This uniformed “Bryant” is James R. Farmer, erf College Sta tion. The two Aggies met the West Point cadets in debate Saturday at the main campus at 11 a;m. Coached by H. E. Hierth, English professor at the Annex, they de fended the negative side of the subject, “Resolved: that the Fed eral government should adopt a policy of equalizing educational O pportunities in tax-supported chools by meandi of Annual grants.” ] Farmer and Goodwyn were se lected to represent A&M at the de bate by a tryout held among mem bers of the Aggie {debating club., A member of the freshman band, Farmer has {been literally hiding behind a trumpet for a semester, and few. of his band mates knew of his debating abil ities. A business major, he was recently appointed as one of the two hand drum majors. Starting his speaking work mm h onhomorc at Adamson High lenoo) of Dallas, Farmer was pros- lent of the high School debuting club and a member of the National Honor Society. His debating team won the Texas Interscholastic League championship in both 1947 and 1948. On “Boys’ State Day” in 1947, Farmer served as adjutant-gen eral of the state of Texas, where he was assigned to inspect Camp Mabry National Guard Post at 'Ataatfai. | ' ■ Although his family and hi? stepfather, R. M.

TCU Cager Due To Be First Five j Year Letterman FORT WORTH, (Spl) — Gene Sdimidt, veteran guard and cap tain of the TCU 1949 basketball team, will become the first five- year varsity letterman in South west Conference history a year from now. In a ruling handed down by the Conference’s executive secretary, James H. Stewart, Schmidt has been declared eligible to play for the Frogs again next season. Al ready a four-year letterman, Sch midt becomes eligible for next year under a conference ruling covering athletes whose participation was interrupted by military service. Stewart announced Schmidt’s eligibility in a letter, revealed to day be TCU Athletic Director How ard Grubbs, in reply to a TCU re quest for a ruling. Prior to the last two seasonsr- 1948-49 and 1947-48-Schmidt had played for TCU lees than two half seasons, previous to his entry inito military service and following his return to civilian status, respifc- tively. He played during thje early part of the 1944-4l!f season, un|til he withdrew from school to join tho Army on Jan. 19, 1945. Fol lowing his discharge, ho registered St TCU on Jan, 27, 1047, for the second Homester and played the remainder of that Hoason. Stewart ruled that these two half neiuon* constituted R o h m i d t ’ s freshman year, leaving him one ad ditional year of eligibility.
