Beck was brought to A&M in 1921, the proud mother of a daugh ter which had been sired by a jack. But mother mules were heretofore unheard of. Mules had been sterile since Jacks and mares were first crossed to produce them. The colt, therefore, which was three-fourths mule and one-fourth horse, was an animal that? escaped scientific classification, The foal, named Kate, possessed all the character istics of a mule, although she cer tainly was not one! Scientists became even more per plexed two years later when Ole BCck became a mother for a sec ond time. At this time she foaled a stud colt which had been sired by a saddle stallion. The colt Was one-fourth mjule and three-fourths horse and possessed all the char acteristics of its sire except for drooping ear. He was named Murphy, Jr., after his sire, but “Pat” has identified him to most who knew hiin. ' Kate grew into a 900 pound mule-horse and appeared as nor mal as any mule-horse was expec ted to be. But H whs learned that Kate was sterile and ideas of es- a hybrid If one Pat hybrl mules soon superior to became tablishing horses and hopeless. Pat, however, was not a dis appointment, He stood 14 hands high, weighed 980 pounds, and was remarkably intelligent Fur thermore, ha was not sterile. In 1927 he sired a normal stallion foal and has since then had many offspring. They all appear nor mal and carry no mule character- istlrs. Apparently, they all are fertile. Pat’s outstanding charac teristics have been handed down to many of them. Ole Beck mude one other attempt at motherhood before she died in the 1080’*, but aborted a foetus having one eye In the center of its luuul and an undevt'loped Jaw, Hhe failed to Buttle at every mating after that.

PETERSBURG, Fla. —(M— Modern day athletes who gripe about not enough time to get into playing condition should listen to Eddie Roush, the old New York Giant and Cincinnati Red outfield er. Roush always considered spring training a pain in the neck. Hardly a year went by that he didn't hold out, not so much that he wanted more money, but because he hated to partake in training drills. Roush always contended that lengthy spring tours of the sun Belt were unnecessary to the con ditioning of a player, and many times Injurious, "If a hall player lakes care of himself during Ihe winter and he cerlalnly gels ukIiI enough lo he Interested In nls condition-- he shouldn't need more than 10 tlujfit to get ready to open the season," says the man who was known as the Ty (,'ohh of the National League, “It's cosy to go home In the full nod settle into your big chair, with pipe and slippers, and loaf away the winter, athlete will hi adds, "hut n wise get out of doors as much ns possible, hiking, hunting or just walking, to keep nls legs In shane. "If be takes care of his legs, alt he Will need in the spring will be a few days with a bat to loosen up hjs shoulder muscles and get his eyes on the ball.” Ed, an annual visitor here, never misses a chance to work out with the Cardinals. He has been a regu lar here since he quit playing after the 1931 season. A keen student of self-conditioning Roush today looks like he can go out and give a good account of himself despite his 56 years. . One of the finest defensive out fielders the game ever knew, Roush also was a standout bat ter. He led the league two sea sons, and owns a life-time batt ing average of .327. “What did I do in the spring? Well,” Roush went on, flashing a wide grin, “I never saw much of it. But when I finally got to camp, I’d get myself a pitcher and go over in a corner of the field. He’d throw to me until I got my eyes on the ball and my shoulders loose. • “Then I’d go out on the infielB and shag ground balls for a couple of days to get my legs and wind back. The last day or two in camp I’d go to the outfield and catch a few balls. “In 1919 I didn’t report to the Cincinnati Club until three days be fore the season opened, And I played in the opener and eventual ly led the league in butting.” Cherry Lynn Mullins Is I daughter of Mr. snd Mrs. J. the C * Mullins, Her picture wan taken when she was 10 months old.

Peu- fifoy of the Civil Engineering Department. Since the program in construc tion engineering was initiated at AfcM in 1946, more than 2(W stu dents have taken the courses bffer- ed in construction engineering, Peurifoy says; The three courses offered in con struction engineering program are cost estimating, cdnstrtiction met hods and contracts and specifica tions. Peurifoy who came to A&M in 1946, teaches all three courses. “The course in cost estimating”, Peurifoy says, .“teaches students, through use of typical engineering projects, how to estimate costs.” Typical projects include earthwork pile-driving, re-enforced concrete, brick masonr; \' sonrv and steel structures. Purpose of the course is to enable students to eatimate coats just as if they were in practice, Peurifoy Sandra Elaine McDade Is 22 fttontha old. Her parents gre Mr, and Mn). Floyd tV.
