disturbed by the height of their
private worlds a«d sought the
balm of the psychiatrist’s couch,
’this gent jeered: if'
But he never told them the
source of his own inner serenity—
which was a weight machine in a
drugstore. This machine-age
oracle told him all he felt he need-
ed to luiow—for one red cent.
Did some small trouble vex him ?
He stepped on tlje scales, slipped
in a penny—and out dropped a
card that gave his weight and
said: '* ' r • : j,
“You have an indomitable will
power enabling you to overcome
in triumph many trying circum
stances.” That restored his con
fidence at once. -

opportunity of attending Army

certainly it is going to be your
skill and wisdom that will help
keep- us out of war.”

A&M 49. Stanford 55
Playing their best ball of the
trip, the Aggies played heads up
ball throughout the first three
chapters of their contest with
Stanford University December 31,
only to fall apart durijn£j the
final minutes of play, to bbw in <te-
feat for the third straight time.
A&M led at halftime, 32-‘47 1 -
but Stanford returned to the court
to make 13 field goal shots while
holding the Aggies to eight. Staf
ford's James Walsh lurpCd in a
brilliant performance the! second
half with hi* long, outside set-
jshots which spread the Aggie dje-
jfense, allowing shifty Indians
^rift through for lay-ups.:
The Aggies missed nine of their
12 free throws, and andjtber fac
tor that greatly hindered A&M
was the fouling out of Buddy
Davis after only six minutes had
{elapsed.
Coach Marty Karow states that
faulty ball-control and unfavor
able results at the fitee-throW
line were the two main reasons for
the Farmers unsuccessful; but still
hot detrimental, western road tour.
“They have been inconsistent tpo
many times this year,” he said.
Commenting on the Mustangs,
Karow said, “SMU is otje.of the
Stronger clubs. If we’re ^oing to
(win, we have to play our best game
of the season."
A&M will also play host to TCU
