Main Phone 2-1507 Phone 2-1333 BRYAN, TEXAS Led to Music Career Song on Job Gets Warren Pink Slip Town Hall Opener Chimney-Bricks n Dirt By GEORGE CHARLTON Here’s one singer, famous though he may be, who wasn’t an accom plished musician at the ripe old age of one and a half years. He also couldn’t sing before he could talk. We’re talking about Leonard Warren, one of the leading Metro politan Opera Company baritones, who will initiate the Town Hall program Oct. 19 in Guion Hall. Non-student tickets for the ser ies will be placed on sale Wednes day morning at 8 in the Student Activities office. Neither did his close associates and friends upon hearing his un tutored voice exclaim that his was a “wonderful voice” that he really must do something with, professionally.” As a matter of fact his first employer, upon hearing his voice, fired him from his job as an accountant. But do not panic, Town Hallers. His voice is now acclaimed by crit ics as “the world’s finest dramatic baritone.” Warren, a graduate of Columbia University in New York, intended to pursue a business career, but when he was discharged from his first job for singing at his work, he decided to make music more than just a hobby. So he applied for Rote’s Mustangs — (Continued from Page 3) the spotty, but effective passing of Fred Benners. Rote scored the first touchdown with less than two minutes re maining in the first quarter. He went over from the seven-yard line climaxing a 79-yard drive. Halfback Hank Stollenwerck got the second touchdown in the sec ond quarter by cracking 11 yards through the middle of Missouri’s line. The Mustangs marched 68 yards for this one. Rote waited until the last quar ter for his second touchdown. He got it on a short power smack over tackle after he had engineer ed the Mustangs in a 62 yard journey. Bill Sullivan converted from placement after each of the touch downs. Missouri, listless and uninspired most of the first half, came up with two real scoring threats, but went lame when the chips were down. The Tigers moved to the S. M. U. five yard line on a 57- yard pass play from Bob Henley to Harold Carter ami a tackle smack by Carter. Henley fumbled and lost ground, however, and S.M.U. took over on the ten when Harry Dean recov ered. ’ The Tigers moved 50 yards to the Mustangs’ 5, then lost five yards as the game ended. Southern Methodist, which had knocked off Geoi’gia Tech and Ohio State, completed 20 of its 37 at tempted passes for 194 yards, but at that had to depend heavily on Rote’s running after three of its top backs—Rusty Russell, Jr., Stol lenwerck and Johnny Champion— were lost by injuries in the first half. Rote picked up a net 108 yards on 17 rushes—more than one-third of his team’s 283 total on the ground. S M U 7 7 0 7—21 Missouri 0 0 0 0—0 SMU scoring—touchdowns: Rote 2, Stollenwerck 1. Points after touchdown: Sullivan 3. a position in the glee club of Radio City Music Hall, was hired and held the post for three years. Con currently, he began taking lessons in music. Unlike Warren’s first employer, his vocal teacher hear ing his voice and realizing its po- tentalities, advised the young bari tone to try for more important work. Therefore, he decided to try for the top, the Metropolitan. The Met management hearing the Warren audition could not believe that the voice was real; indeed they felt that someone, as a joke, had played a recording of another great baritone. Today Warren is not only star red in no fewer than 22 operas at the Metropolitan but he also is a member of the Chicago Opera Company, the Teatro Municipal in Rio de Janeiro, and the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires. He has sung leading parts with the Cincinnati Summer Opera, the Grand Opera Festival of Montreal, and the Na tional Opera in Puerto Rico. He is the distinguished guest artist on such leading radio pro grams as the RCA-Victor Hour, Voice of Firestone, Carnegie Hall and the regular Saturday afternoon broadcasts from the Metropolitan Opera House.

You might knock them over, and then all the dirt will wash away.” Second little boy (amazed)—“Is that why my sister has been get ting all the bricks from our chimney?” The youngsters at Consolidated Elementary School are at it again. This time, said Mrs. C. B. Holzmann, 4th Grade teacher, it is her class. The kids are industriously building a flower-bed around the gymnasium, and for several days now, have been carting dirt and bricks to school to hasten their building program. Mrs. Holzmann expects the undertaking to be in full-bloom just as soon as seed is sown. Robert Warren Reception for Teachers At CHS Set Tomorrow At its first meeting the Mothers and Dads Club of College Station drew up a schedule of activities for the coming year. First on this schedule is a teachers reception which will take place tomorrow night. The reception will begin at. 7:30 p. m. at Consolidated School, and all parents and teachers will be able to get acquainted. Mrs. W. M. Turner was appointed as gen eral chairman by Fred Brison, president of the Dads and Mothers Club. Three receiving lines will be formed, Mrs. Turner said, one for members of the high school, an other junior high, and the next for elementary school. Mrs. Turner will be assisted by Mrs. Carl Landiss, Mrs. P. G. Murdoch, Mrs. Victor Schember and Mrs. Marion Pugh. Six senior hostesses were appointed by Mrs. Landis, and ten junior hostesses were selected by Mrs. W. K. Frey from members of the Future Home makers Club. Senior hostesses are Mrs. D. W.

Arkansas Downed by TCU (Continued from Page 3) only minutes to play and in chasing the ball while it was in the air crashed into a concrete restraining wall just out of the end zone. He was knocked unconscious. Jurney was reported not ser iously hurt, however. Bartosh shuttled in and out of the line-up after he was hit in the head while making an end run, but he was in long enough to deal the decisive blow to Arkansas. The TCU-Arkansas game last year was protested by TCU Coach Dutch Meyer on ground Arkansas played too rough and used its arms and hands too much, the conference upheld Meyer and censured Arkan sas. There were no incidents Satur day night, but there were penalties for illegal use of hands. The offi cials were calling them very close all night. A crowd of 25,000—largest ever to watch a game between the two bitter rivals—saw Bartosh pass to Bill Moorman for the first TCU touchdown in the second period and Wilde passed to Teddy Vaught for the second in the final quar ter. Arkansas’ touchdown was on a 51-yard pass play in the third with Don Logue flipping to Jur ney on the TCU 23 and the Razor- back wingman ambling across. Homer Ludiker kicked the lone TCU extra point. Arkansas 0 0 6 0— 6 T C U 7 0 0 6—13 Arkansas scoring: touchdown, Jurney. Texas Christian scoring: touch downs, Bill Moorman, Vaught. Con version: Ludiker. Beat VMI Rice Wins--- (Continued from Page 3) to four aerial scores last week against Santa Clara. Three Rice drives started after its hard-charging line forced LSU to punt out twice, on its 42 and on its 27, and lose the hall on a fumble on its 27. Rice struck quickly for scores each time but made one touchdown on a 77-yard march. Halback Sonny Wyatt and Full back George Glauser each scored twice, while Halfback Billy Burk- halter collected the fifth Rice touchdown. End Billy Wright kicked all five extra points. Ken Ko’nz, playing his first game at an end position after con centrating halfback duties, scored two of LSU’s touchdowns, while Lee Hedges got the third. Konz also made good on two out of three extra point attempts. Konz scored on a 23-yard left- handed pass from Lee Lapat in the second period and on a 76-yard punt return in the last quarter. Hedges climaxed a 53-yard march, final period LSU drive by going all the way from the Rice 25. Ebert Van Buren, who normally works on defense, was called in for offensive fullback duties after Rice took its strong lead. He got three important first downs that contri buted to the first LSU score. Van Buren finished with a net gain of 67 yards in 17 tries, sec ond only to Glauser who had 73 in 18 carries. LSU 0 7 0 13—20 Rice 7 14 0—35 Louisiana State scoring—touch downs, Konz 2, Hedges; conver sions, Konz 2. Rice scoring—touchdowns, Wyatt 2, Glauser 2, Burkhalter; conver sions Wright 5.—Based on AP Reports. Beat VMI Safety Driving Classes Again Offered at CHS Once more classes in Safety Education and Driving Train ing are being offered at Con solidated High. This course was not offered last year, but was during the 1948-49 school year. A&M’s Industrial Education De partment is furnishing nine in structors to teach the course con sisting of both theory and prac tice. So far, 33 students have reg istered for the course, Principal L. E. Boze said. These classes generally have six pupils, although the one at Con solidated will be slightly smaller. The first two weeks of class will be devoted entirely to classroom theory, after which students will be taken out on the road. Roadwork will be in 1950 model cars which have a “dual-control” system enabling the instructor to take control of the car anytime he deems necessary. Safety driving courses are of much worth, according to school administrators, who expressed the idea that much wear and tear on parents’ nerves would be averted.
