The interest which drives them Can be stated very simply— $15 a month less tax, eat first; no other*, but what more should one expect for the privilege of per forming so great a public service.

I j, ■ '| ; | j ’ 1 . ' ' An all*intramural flag football team was picked by the sports staff of the Freshman Battalion this week. Selection of this all-annex nine was difficult because all teams were well-balanced in league play. The coaches also employed modified platoon systems which caused some play ers to see only defensive or offensive action. Donaldson of Co. 8 won the honor as the outstanding athletic officer through his outstanding work at the guard and backfield positions. He was also the only consistent ex tra point kicker in his league. Snyder of Co. 7 and Holland of Co. 3 were unanimously chosen for backfield. Minturn of Co. 7 was the top choice in the forward wall. j mM ; First Team Second Team Robin, Fit. 13 E...i Austin, Co. 1 G- Malcolm, Co, 3 G..L Harper, Vets cl-i 1 Yantis, Co. 6 Jffi.i Reeves, Vets BU Eaton, Fit. 9 .BU - .-.

The wreck occurred when a car of seven, including a man, hit wife, three children, and 4 mother and mother-in-law of one of the parents, crashed head on with an automobile driven by Jask Hall, freshman from Amarillo. Riding with Hall as he returned to A6M after the Thanksgiving holidays were Dick Elliot, Don Newman, Bill Scott, D. B. Pavil- lard, and K. Ritter, all from Ama rillo. The two elderly ladies (names of the occupants of the other car were unavailable) riding in the other car died shortly after being admitted to the Decatur hospital. Although he was the driver of the car, Hall was only shaken up in the crash, Elliot received sev eral gashes about the head and Newman was treated for a broken leg at the Decatur hospital. Both boys were released from the hos pital Monday morning. r Hall stated he was driving a 1941 Chevrolet and was meeting a. long line of traffic as he -drove toward Bryan. He said he noticed a car pull out of the line and try to pass another car he was about to meet Seeing that it would be impossible to pass the car, the driver of the other car hosed into (See WRECK, Page 6) ■ 4 ~ -*ti )EL AUSTIN ; a^j .Annex freshmen will cast their initial hallo the election of ten class officer?; Voting will barracks after C.

Jarvis claims that his; work in the 4-H organization all began when he bought cattle instead of a bicycle with Christmas money at the age of ten. From this initial investment he gradually; increased his number of stock through swap ping and other manipulations. In 1047, one of the winner’s calves was named reserve grand champion of the Brownwood show. When his father became ill, Jar vis was forced to limit his 4-H work because of the extra chores involved in helping his brothers run their 2,200 acre fai*tn. Three times president of his local and county 4-H club and twice president of his district 4-H organization, Jarvis has won three trips to the state 4-H Round-Up. to be y aft- inations this einoon, the ros 1 was quite large a page went to press The addition of tafry and a commi the Diamond Jub larged the list Included in that -president fromjtheijcorps, jvi sident from the veterans, seC treasurer, social! secretary, parliamentarian, sargeftlht-at-arms, reporter-historian, \ and j freshman member to the Diamond Jubilee Committee. • -1 f j\ Name* Adde*l .g The names of {following i meri wpre listed for thfe offices desig nated at press ti President: J.
