r Nation’s CoUe NAS Volume 49 Stiteler Talks To Quarterback Club BY HAROLD GANN Head Coach Harry Stiteler high lighted the final Qukrterback Club meeting of the year last night when he addressed one of, the larg est crowds on hand in the Assembly Hall. T ; Stiteler extended praise to the student body for its tremendous backing ojf A&M’s football team this year. 1 Starting with the '46 season, Stiteler gayp the audience a brief summary of A&M football. He said, “Back in 1946, A&M had a pretty fair football team. With just a lit tle luck, they could have won the ' Southwest Conference.” “After ’46, they started going down. They proved this in 1947. In 1948, we had only the remnants of the '46 -team. Those boys played ‘ pretty fair ball.” He continued, “I didn’t realize how much two or three of those boys meant to a football team until this year. If we could’ve had three or four players of last year’s team, we would have won our share of .games this year.” Stiteler then pointed out that sophomores are of little value if the team doesn’t have some game- savvy veterans on hand. The crowd greeted Stiteler with mild humor when he nonchantly stated, “Cher ry says that the reason Texas lost their games this' year was because of sophomores. Texas starts two sophomores. When Turkey Day gets here, I hope those sopho mores have to play a little bit Biprei” ■ ‘ Stiteler then defined a sopho more as a person who, because of inexperience can contribute little to a team’s success -but gains ex perience for the team’s future suc^ess^ Offense Better “Sophomores hurt Us most on de fense,” he said. “You will find that a group of sophomores generally fare much more effectively on of fense than On defense. Although defensive line-play has hurt ua a lot this year, our defensive back- field, consisting mostly of sopho mores, has hurt us the most.” Stiteler boasted of the team’s morale when he said.j “The group this year has tried just as hard _ as any bunch of boys I’ve seen. ~ Since mid-season, they have really played ball.” He informed the group that the Aggies r played a better' game against Rice than against SMU. ‘Texas Tech’s line is the only line that we have been equal to this year.’*- Stiteler blamed Saturday's defeat on “that tremendous Rice line.” He hinted that the squad is in worse physical condition at the present than at any other time during the season. Rice’s big ag gressive team is the cause of this.” Then he,said, "with just a little more luck and fewer fumbles, we might have beaten Rice.” ' i > . Stiteler thinks that the long lay-off will provide ample time for a complete recovery. n j,-! Planning On Freshmen Stiteler surprised fans when he said that next year might introduce another rebuilding program be cause of a strong freshman team Dallas Club Forms, Party at Cowtown V i Reorganization of the Dallas A &M Club was completed • Wednes day night in the group’s first meet ing for the year. Officers elected to serve during the present school year were Bill Beatty, president; Jack Happy, vice-president; Bob Byington, sec retary-treasurer, and Bob McOlas- this year. “We are planning on help from this year’s freshmen team and we’re going to get plen ty help in the line.” Of the first-year men, Stiteler has faith in Fish forwards SchultCi Little, Dickson, Langford Niland, Rush, and Smith. "Some of the Varsity men may have to take a back seat next year. We are wait ing for spring training in ord^r to decide.” s Stiteler had much praise for backfield men Graves, Haas, Hoop er, Magourik, Hill and McJunken. Stiteler put the group in an op timistic frame of mind when he said, “We are doing everything possible to be ready for Thanksgiv ing. Everybody is working hard and there’s lots of spirit.” To round out last night’s pro gram, highlights of 1949 Southwest Conference football were shown With Kern Tips, ,dean of South west sportsoasters, doing the narra- ilon. . f J-! |!] :.

Ths comprised of THOMPSON Craig B. Kennedy has a modi fication of th< old “rags to riches” story. His sttry is from Army to a vice-presidency in a Philippine corporation, a id back to a student. Kennedy, j senior EE major from Kerens, enrolled at A&M in 1941, but Uncle Sam csdled dur ing his sqph< more year. Since he had always been interested in electronics, he chose the branch of service ebsest to his major. The army ha i the last word, but he finally landed in the Signal Corps. The former signal officer served in the Soutl Pacific during the war. He senred with the Eighth Army hsadqu liters and later with the 37th and $7th divisions. The Philippine Islands proved especially eventful for Kennedy. He met his w ife there. He and his bride moved to Manila shortly after his sepi ration from the army and started t< work for the Bollano Electronic Corporation. He soon became vice-i resident in charge of engineering. After some time he decided that it would be more profitable to set up his ov n radio station. This station proved to be a big suc cess. In add! Jon to his own sta tion, the man became engineering advisor for the Philippine Broad casting Corporation. PBS has two stations them, KZOK and KZIP. When the political situation in the Phillipines became upset, Ken nedy and his wife decided to come back to the United States to get his degree. His radio station is now in the p rocess of beihg sold. At present the ex-lieutenant is working as a graduate assistant in the E. E. 1 )epartment and as an ASA Militar r Science aide. Last year le sponsored the An nex Ham Club and is now president of the Campus Ham Club. His wife, who is a native of the Philippine Islands, was a history and language teacher in the Phil ippine school system before she married Kennedy. She has recently received an offer from the Tuber culosis Association to write a series of articles on “The; Little Brown Girl and the Big White Plague.” The article is about tuberculosis. The Kennedys have not decided whether or not they want to go back to the Philippines after “the lord and master” finishes school. He plans to take a master’s de gree in electrical engineering and says he wjll probably get a doctor’s degree somewhere before he goes back Into business. Herman Heep Awards to Be Made Nov. 22 Annual presentation of the Herman F. Heep Scholarships will be made Nov. 22, at the meeting of the Kream and Kow Klub, said Jack McCar- ley, reporter of the club. These scholarships! are awarded to dairy husbandry students on the basis of work done in college the preceding year and on the other interests the student shows in the dairy field. j. j. Heep was a dairy husbandry stu dent here before entering Worid War I. After the war his interests in dairying were continued through’ the establishment of the Heep Jer sey Farms at Buda, In addition to being very ac tive in the development and p|x>- motion of the Jersey brqed, Heep’s herd in Buda, Texas is recognised as one of the outstanding in the nation. His interest in the Jersey has been extended to administra- tibn of the American Jei^ey Cat tle Club where he served two terms on the board of directors. During his first, term as direc tor, Heep was elected and sefyed t*o terms as the club’s president. While president, he spent a lot of his own time and money moving the 4JCC offices from:New York fjity UT Columbus, Ohia, a more central ly located site. Because of his deep interest in the perfection of improved dairy cattle, Heep has established five partnerships with youiig t men, through which he has furnished these men cattle with which to establish herds, three of these herds are owned by A&M graduates who majored in dairy husbandry^ Heep Scholarships were estab lished in 1944. At the present time, six scholarships are given. These awards are for senior, junior, [and sophomore students who are major ing in dairy husbandry. It is hoped that Heep will be present to pre sent the awards Tuesday night. ‘ Along with his dairy interests, Heep entered the oil business via the “wildcat” route, and had icon- siderable success In developing the Conroe and Corpus^Christi fields. He is now president of the Heep Gil Company. j - i.
