Dr. William S. Monlux, associate
professor in the School of Veter
inary Medicine recently diagnosed
a serious parasite infection of
sheep which previously baffled a
group of mid-western veterinar
ians.
The owner of the sheep after los
ing 800 from a herd of 3,000, had
three of the infected animals
flown to College Station. On ar
rival, the animals were taken to
the A&M Veterinary Hospital for
clinical observation.
After an examination. Dr. Mon-
lux tentatively diagnosed the con
dition as <1 parasite infection by
the Tricostrongylus spp. The post
mortem examination confirmed his
preliminary, diagnosis.
After correctly diagnosing the
condition, Dr. Monlux informed the
owner of the sheep that there was
no effective treatment available
for this particular parasite. Im
proved feeding practices would help
to alleviate the condition, he said.
When asked why he suspected
the presence of this particular
parasite, the veterinarian coyly re
marked, ‘‘past experience.”

MacArthur Observes Movements
Later MacArthur flew over enemy lines and along the
winding Yalu then he returned to Tokyo. He was escorted
by jet fighters.
Combat troops of three Allied corps jumped off in
freezing weather Friday morning along an 80-mile front.
The U. S. 2nd and 25th divisions and a Turkish brigade quick
ly moved up to take over a 25-mile sector in the middle of
the line.
The advance—covered by Allied planes—met little op
position. The heaviest opposition reported was in North-
central Korea. There the Chinese Reds threw a fresh divis
ion—the 89th—against the previously unopposed U. S. Sev
enth Marine Regiment moving up the west side of Changjin
Reservoir.
In a special communique an-*. ~
nouneing the start of the western
offensive, MacArthur said:
“If successful this should for all I
practical purposes end the war, re
blocked kick, and
six Aggie fumbles provided the
visitors with their large winning I
margin. Only 61 yards separated
the two elevens total yardage, al
though the Cadets outgained the
Shorthorns across the turf.
Cavileer Sets Up Score
Johnny Cavileer of Austin set
up the Cadets only score with a
a 40-yard broken field run, in the
fourth annual Ben-Hur Shrine-
sponsored football, game. He also
led the ground gainers with 44
yards in 10 carries.
A crowd of more than 5,000 fans
watched the Cadets lose out in the
first four minutes of play when
Texas recovered an Aggie fumble
and went on to score.
Starting from the Cadets 18,
Donnie Smith engineered the Tex
ans across the double-stripe in two
plays. The first iplny was Tommy
Ward 'going around right end for
one, and the second play was a
pass complete from Smith to Phil
Branch for the touchdown. Walter
Bond successfully kicked his first
of four conversions.

The nation counted a record
breaking number of accidental
deaths over the Thanksgiving holi

A crash- on the Long Island Rail

the holiday.
A survey showed a death toll of
188, surpassing last year’s record
high of 181. It also, was far ahead
of the 114 accidental deaths in
1948; 128 in 1947 and 83 in 1946.
These figures included deaths oc-
I curring; as-long as months after
the accidents in which the victims
were injured.

[ A&M History
To Be Traced
In Battalion
, The Battalion today begins a new
feature in keeping with the year
long 75th Anniversary celebratibiis
of the college. On page three you
will find the Historical Highlights
Page featuring stories of various
phases of A&M through its first
three-quarters of a century.
The page, tentatively planned as
a bi-weekly feature, will appear
throughout the remainder of this
school year. Persons acquainted
with little-known or interesting
facts concerning the history of
A&M are invited to bring them to
the attention of The Battalion.
Such .facts may bo entered as
suggestions or in story form. All
such contributions will be checked
for historical accuracy. Pictures
significant from a historical stand
point are also invited.
The new feature will not be an
attempt at a complete history bf
the college but should well offer
considerable back-ground for . any
such history that might be written
in the future.
The gathering of such material
was begun this year for use in the
Seventy Fifth Anniversary Edition
of The Battalion published. Nov.
9. The Historical Highlights Pages
will supplement historical material
contained in the 28-page edition:

A full-size cutaway 1,500 horse
power diesel locomotive will be on
display here Monday, Tuesday, and
Wednesday, A. V. Brewer, of the
Mechanical Engineering Depart
ment, said today.
The 189,000 lb., 51 ft. locomotive
is believed to be the largest slow-
motion portable mechanical exhi
bit ever constructed, according to
J. C. Carter, public relations man
for Southern Pacific Railroad. The
exhibit will be open from 10 a. m.
until 5 p. m. each day.
The exhibit is being sponsored

: Electrical Engineering
J ments, particularly for engi
| students, Brewer said. H
| any one interested may v:
I machine, he added.
Because of its unusual
- tional value in training college en-
i gineering students, the locomotive
is being taken on a nationwide tour
| by leading railroads. It was built
j by Electro-Motive Division of Gon-
j oral Motors Corporation from a
I regulation “B” unit similar to
) th*ose now used in regular freight
] and passenger service, Carter says.
' The diesel is so arranged that
j students and spectators can study
j the operation from the outside, as
well as inside for a close up
of various working parts. Diesel
1 specialists will be on hand all
three days to answer questions and
explain operations.
Much outer covering has been
removed from the diesel, making it
possible to see tlie pistons moving
up anil flown and connecting rods

shaft.:
It is possible to follow the flow
of fuel oil, lubricating oil, air
and cooling water, because the var
ious lines are identified by special
colors. An arrangement of mirrors
and lights makes it possible to
view the motivation of the injector
and valves in the top of the cy
linders, Garter added.
