For Arkansas,
Stiteler Says

Battalion Sports Editor
‘'We’ll be out to get them tomorrow,” Head Coach Harry
Stiteler said today. He was referring to the Arkansas Razor-
backs, who will arrive today and workout in preparation for
the conference game tomorrow night on Kyle Field.
Head Trainer Bill Dayton said that all of the A&M
team will be able to play in tomorrow’s game, and that al
though they are not in their best condition of this season,
they can go.
It will be Dick Gardemal starting for the Aggies in the
quarterback slot, with Billy Tidwell, Glenn Lippman, and
Bruisin’ Bob Smith rounding out the remainder of the back-
field quartet.
Gardemal is the fourth best passer in the conference
when completion averages are taken into account. The Port
Arthurian has successfully tossed 15 passes into arms of re
ceivers with 15 others going \vild.
A&M’fi starting- man-under’s+
passes have traveled over 230
yards with three of the aerials be
ing complete for touchdowns. Oaf-
demal’s ball handling is also pro
bably the best that the Cadets
have had for quite a while.
Three Other QBs
But in case, Gardemal should
fail, three other quarterbacks can
almost replace him to the tvell
known “T”. Darrovv Hooper, Del-
mar Sikes, and Bay Graves are
the Aggies three other ball handl
ing wonders. Together the group
has directed the Farmer eleven to
become the leading offensive team
in the conference with a total of
2,331 yards.
A norther has hit the state ant!
is expected to remain in this
area through the weekend, the
Associated Press reported to
day. Along with the cold weath
er, rain is expected, hence little
passing can be expected from
the teams on Kyle field tomor
row.

Seoul, Nov. 3 — (/P) — Allied reinforce
ments rushed to the flaming northwest Ko
rean front today to try to rescue remnants
of two surrounded American regiments and
buck up the sagging United Nations line.
The combined Chinese Red and North
Korean counterattack sent the U.N. forces
reeling back in virtually every sector. At
one point the Reds were only 47 miles north
of Pyongyang, fallen Commynist capital.
A&M’s 29th Rodeo
Will Match Thrills
Spills In New A rena
Only U.S. Marines in the northeast were
on the offensive. And their thrust was
blunted by a fierce Red encircling move.
U.S. Eighth Army Headquarters called
the situation “very serious.” A U.S. First
Corps spokesman said it was “not so good as
it could be and not as good as we would like
it.”
However, General MacArthur’s spokes
man in Tokyo described the main battle,
Fa round Unsan, as a large-scale en
emy defensive action and not a
counteroffensive. Two U.S. cav
alry regiments are cut off there.
The spokesman said U.N. forces
still retained the initiative in North
Korea.
Three Reasons
The intelligence officer said re
inforcements, reorganized units
and Winter weather played hegyy
parts in the Bed assault.
These v\ ere the developments in
the various seevors:
ill
A&M also leads the conference in
touchdown passes, 10; ground yard
age, 1,716; first downs, 100; scor
ing, 224 points; and fumbles.
Among the Cadet individual lead
ers are Smith, who leads the South
west Conference in ground gain
ing with 694 yards; in scoring with
86 points; and is second in total
uffense with the same total as his
ground gaining.
Lippman Among Top
Lippman is also among the top
nound gainers in the conference.
Along vvith Tidwell and Smith, he
lias occounted for the greatest por
tion of the yardage rolled up on
the ground by the Maroon and
White eleven.
The El Campo flash, Lippman,
has a total of 339 yards which is
an average of 6.0 for trip. Tidwell
has a 7.5 average for carry which
is the best in the conference and is
also fourth in total yardage with
381.
On the Aggie forward wall num
erous players have passed un
noticed, but Tackles Sam Moses,
Dwayne Tucker, and Guards Carl
‘Buddy’ Molberg and Max Greiner
have had a lot to do with the Ag
gies dynamic offense. Watch who
leads the baekfield out through the
line, and odds are good one’ll see
75, 70, 67, and GO, respectively,
showing the way. The baekfield
blocks for itself also.
Hillhouse, Hodge At End
The above mentioned are of
course not the. only one who help
make the baekfield click. At the
end positions are Andy Hillhouse
and Charley Hodge, while Hugh
Meyers covers the hall at the cen
ter spot.
On the defensive positions are
Ends Dorbandt Barton, G. D.
Gwin; Tackles Russ Iludeek, Moses,
Jack Little, and Alvin Langford—
all of whom play both offense and
defense extremely well; Guards
W. T, Bush, Molberg, Greiner, and
Marshall Rush; again a similar
situation; Linebackers Bob Bates,
Jimmy Fowler, Jimmy Flowers,
•and Walter Hill; Defensive Half
backs, Yale Lary, Tidwell, Buddy
Shaeffer, and Angie Saxe; and
Safeties Lippman and Gary An

Professor C. K. Hancock of
the Department of Chemistry

Faculty at their regular Fall
meeting Tuesday night.
Dr. J. P. Abbot, Dean of the
School of Arts and Sciences, intro
duced members of the Basic Divi
sion to the group and each mem
ber discussed the progress of his
special department.
Dean J. R. Bertrand gave the
progress and objectives of the
Basic Division. Professor C. H.
Ransdel! discussed the orientation
program of the Basic Division and
Capt. F, E. McFarland described
the counselling program for the
freshman.
Dr. A. J. Kingston told of the
remedial reading program and out
lined the principal reasons for a
student’s inability to comprehend
after reading a printed page.
Five percent of the cases were
caused by some physical defect of
the student. Another five to ten
percent were caused by psychologi
cal disturbances. Dr. Kingston also
showed a ten minute film concern
ing instruction for increasing read
ing speed.
Dr. Abbott congratulated the
faculty on thei r response to his re
quest for cards to be turned in on
freshman students who seem to be
having difficulty with their col
lege work.

New Methods
Developed For
Atom Warfare
Washington, Nov. 3—(/P)—
Enemy troops on future bat
tlefields may be blasted with
atomic weapons launched by
the Army and by the Air
Force flying in its support, a De
fense Department report indicated
yesterday.
The atomic bomb up to now has
been a strategic weapon, for mass
destruction of cities, but not for
tactical use against forces in the
field.
In their semi-annual report re
leased tonight the Armed Forces,
now engaged in strictly orthodox
warfare in Korea, took a long look
ahead and talked of an arsenal of
new weapons being developed or in
the research phase.
There were references to the
hydrogen bomb project, radiological
poison weapons, germ warfare, of
progress in guided missiles, of a
device which could be used for
making maps of hostile terrain
under cover of night or clouds.
The defense department report
was sigmed by Louis Johnson on
September 18, his last day in the
secretary’s post from which he was
ousted by President Truman. Neith
er his letter of transmittal nor the
report made any mention of the
matter.
While woven through the com
bined reports were discussions of
projected new weapons of unpre
dicted ferocity, a cautionary note
was sounded by Army Secretary
Frank Pace. He said:
“We must avoid a false sense
of security in the knowledge of
pur scientific advances. These new
weapons are not yet in the hands
of our troops and no weapons, how
ever advanced, dispense with
troops.”

| Officials Deny
Japanese Used
In Korean War
Washington, Nov. 3 —-
(AP)—Russia gave its formal
support yesterday to the
Communist charge that the
United States has used Jap
anese troops in the Korean fight
ing. The Soviet Union demanded
that the 13-nation Far Eastern
Commission do something about it.
Without waiting for the com
mission to respond, the State and
Army Departments emphatically
denied the allegation, which was
made earlier in a North Korean
“protest” to the United Nations
and hurled also in a UN speech
last Saturday by Soviet Foreign
Minister Andrei Vishinsky.
The State Department said there
are no Japanese troops in Korea, at
least none in the UN forces.
The Army likewise said there is
no truth in the charge.
Moscow’s representative told the
commission, which lays down basic
policies for the occupation, that
North Korea had submitted evi
dence “providing” American viola-
| tion of the Potsdam pledge to de-
| militarize Japan by using Japan
ese forces as fighting men in seve-
contest, and an open class cutting
horse contest.
