HONG KONG—***)—The modes

a bitter battle recently between

only successful crosies of « mare
mule with a Jack ami a stall Ion.
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-

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. I 1:,

Doubts Spring
Training Value
ST. 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.”

Demand Gr
for Cngineo
In Construction
The demand fat Students
majoring in construction en
gineering greater than the
supply according tO tt. L. 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
