Looking for Fourth in 5 Years A&M Traeksters Planning To Reclaim S WC Crown By RAY HOLBROOK The Texas Aggie track and field team, runner-up to Texas Univer sity in the conference meet last spring, will be out to reclaim the title this year, having held the crown for three straight years of the last four. Winning five of seven meets last year, the Cadet cinder stars had a very successful season out side of the unusual day which they faced at the conference meet in Austin. Texas won the meet with 60 points to 43 for A&M and 32 to third place Rice. The only other loss suffered by the Aggies was a dual meet to TU which the Steers won 63-59. On the winning side of the ledger, the thinly clads whipped North Texas, LSU, and Rice in dual meets by wide margins. In the Border Olympics they scored 64 points to swamp second place Texas with 40 and third place Oklahoma A&M. At Corpus Christ! in the Quar terback Relays the Maroon and White edged out the Orange and White, 66 1/3 — 64 1/3, with 30 1/3 points going to third place Rice. Aggie Mainstays Some of the mainstays of the team last year were Co-captains George Kadera and J. D. Hampton, in the weights and distances, re spectively; Bob Hall, low hurdle specialist; Paul Lerning, ace soph high hurdler; Jack Simpson, and Don Graves, pole van Hers and high jump; Julian Herring and John Garmany, milers; and Don Mitchell and Bernard Place, quar- termilers. Other lettermen include Billy Bless, low hurdler - Buddy Davis, high jump; Ed Hooker, dscus; Jerry Bonnen, and Jim McMahon, two-mile; Alex Ortiz, 880; and quartermilers Don Cardon, Buddy Shaeffer, and Cecil Inglehart. Encouragement for Coaches Particularly encouraging for coaches Frank Anderson and Ray Putman are prospects for next spring. Graduating seniors from last year’s team include only Ka dera, Hampton, Hall, Bonnen, Hooker, and Cardon—but capable replacements indicate the team will be just as strong as before. Freshman weight star Darrow Hooper will step into the shoes of Kadera and should fill them easily. Bless was second to Hall in the low hurdles at the confer ence meet and should move to the top spot this' year. Although SWC record holder in the mile and two mile Hampton failed to win a first in last May’s conference meet, his loss will be felt the hardest. Replacements Hov/ever, with proven boys like Herring and Garmany around plus some help from McMahon and Jack Jones, the mile and two mile will be capably handled. Others of last year’s freshman team who will help the varsity tremendously this year are Bill Stalter and James Ragsdale. Stalter was undefeated in fresh man 100 and 220 competition, and will plug a big gap in the Cadet sprint ranks. Ragsdale is a very good broad jumper and a promis ing low hurdler. The Farmers were desperate during the last season for a broad jumper of his ability. Henry’s Return—Profitable The Aggie cinder hopes will also be boosted by the addition of Military Engineers Slate First Meet The Society of American Mili tary Engineers will hob) their first meeting of the year Sept 28 at 7 30 p. m. in the Chapel of the YMCA according to C. C. Tay lor, president of the Society. Principal speaker at the meeting will be Howard Barry, head of the A&M Photographic and Visual Aids Laboratory. Barry will also introduce the film “Functional Photography in Industry” which will be shown at the meeting Taylor said. The 45 minute film, which is in color, provides a survey on film of the ways in which photography today is serving industry in re search, production quality control, advertising, and sales. Because the film will be of in terest to more than just the Soc iety, all interested individuals are invited to attend. After the film there will be a short business meeting of the Society, according to Taylor. Bill Henry, letterman broadjumper in ’49 and James Baker, star freshman quarter miler in the same year. Both were ineligible due to scholastic difficulties. Add this to all the heretofore mentioned returning lettermen and the results are encouraging. TU graduates Charley Parker, Bob Walters, and Perry Samuels and will be considerably weaker, as will Rice with the graduation of Tom Cox, SWC record holder in the . 440, and Tobin Rote, conference j javelin champion. So, summing it up, we’re looking 1 forward to ’51 and another SWC !

Vishinsky and Jacob Malik walked out of a United Nations dinner last night when ; Gov. Thomas E. Dewey said in a speech that the Soviet Union holds mil- lions of slave laborers “under con ditions which amount to torture unto death.” As the heads of the Russian U. N. delegation strode off the dais, Dewey remarked: “I must say I am complimented by the withdrawal of those who plot the destruction of the world.” There were cheers in the audience. Vishinsky and Malik maintained a stony silence as they left the Waldorf-Astoria dinner given for U. N. assembly delegates by the city of New York. In the third paragraph of his written speech, Dewey read: “It would be folly *to ignore the harsh fact that while the Soviet Union has 10 million to 15 million people living in slave labor under conditions which amount to tor ture unto death, no person any where in the world can sleep nights with any sense of security.” There was. a number in the au dience of 1,500 as Dewey began the sentence, and widespread ap plause as he finished it. The Soviet exit began as Dewey reached the mention of slave la bor. Vishinsky and Malik were off the dais by the time Dewey finish ed the sentence. Possibly Dewey’s speech was known to the Russians in advance. Copies had been distributed to newsmen, and some were on the reporters’ tables at the dinner. The audience was hushed as Dewey completed his address. Saying he spoke as titular head of the Republican party, Dewey pledged GOP support for Secre tary of State Acheson’s U. N. pro posals for dealing with future ag gression. Icorae Party For Newcomers Ileltl Sept. 21) Newcomers v/ere formally welcomed to the campus at a tea given Wednesday after noon by Mrs. M. T.

The social rooms opened to the guests were brightened by roses. A centerpiece of bright colored roses, cockscomb and pinfeathers, decorated the tea table. Exhibits were displayed by sev eral groups of the Social Club to acquaint the newcomers with var ious activities available to them on the campus. These included handicraft, dis- p 1 a y, swimming groups, art groups, and foods groups. In addition to .

Here’s the comparative summary for the 1950 contest: on defense, V. M. I. is 18 pounds a man better off for the William and Mary game than they were a year ago. On of fense, the Keydets’ gain in weight difference is 25 pounds, primarily due to the fact that William and Mary’s defensive line will be 15 pounds smaller this season than it was last. Perkins, who was the leading high school punter in Louisiana last year, should develop into one of the conference’s leading punters, Callender Employed By Houston Company Richard Callender, recent grad uate of the Engineering School and former linebacker on the var sity football team, has been em ployed by the Brown & Root Co. of Houston. Fencing Business Meeting Called Returnees from last year’s fenc ing team and others who would like to participate in intercolleg iate fencing comptition arq re quested to attend the first business meeting of the team which will be held in the Memorial Student Cen ter, Monday at 7:30 p. m., official sources announced today. The South Korean Third Divi sion moved north along the coast highway to within one mile of Chongha, 12 miles north of Po hang. In the Taegu sector, an Allied task force drove north and north west along the road from Tabue to Sonsan, west of the Naktong River. Tabu is 12 miles north of Taegu and Sonsan is 20 miles northwest of Tabu. The task force reached a point about half way between the two cities. Texas Beekeepers Plan Annual Meet Texas Beekeepers’ Association will hold their annual meeting Oct. 2 and 3. More than 125 are expected to attend.

The gigantic Gibbens is an all stater. Burtchaell, an All-America high school tackle, and Billings, , a Louisiana all-stater, are billed as “potential dynamite” by com petent scouts. Cotter played for the Northern , All-Star in the annual high school Y classic at Austin. “He is one of the hardest working lineman on the field,” asserted Shoemaker.
