Molten Lava
Mows Toward
Sicilian Village
Mt. Etna, Sicily, Nov. 28—
—A molten lava flow 650
feet wide from restless Mt.
Etna threatened half a dozen
villages on the northeastern
slopes of the 1(1,741-foot hijrh
mountain yesterday.
The preat high cone of Etna
in Sicily’s eastern coastal belt
burst into flames and smoke last
night, bringing panic to the sur
rounding countryside. A series of
heavy earth tremors accompanied
the volcano’s eruption.
Residents of Catania feared the
eruption would be worse than the
last big burst of lava, ash and
smoke from Etna in December,
11140.
Authorities estimated the creep
ing flow would reach the village
of Fornazza about midnight. For-
nassa’s l,. r )00 inhabitants gather
ed their belongings in preparation
for quick flight.
The lava already had burned off
a grove of chestnut trees in its
slow trek toward the sea. Shortly
after the volcano erupted, lava
was belching from six- separate
mouths below the rim of the cra
ter.

the trip. Company commanders
and civilian dorm masters could
ask for donations in their units

morrow. If the money were
raised before we left for Thanks

If Kids May Be There,
You Must Exercise Care
The lives of hundreds of chil
dren—perhaps the life of your
own child—-would be saved if driv
ers observed three simple rules:
® Drive at a moderate speed
that will enable you to stop quick
ly in residential and school neigh
bors;
® Keep on the watch for sudden,
unexpected actions of children;
& And look around, carefully be
fore backing or starting up from
a parked position.
Children should be seen and not
hurt. .

First in (he passing game is

has netted 1,424 yards through the

course and supervised its construc
tion.
His competence as a designer
and builder is shown in the North-
wood Country Club in Dallas,
which is the newest and often call
ed the finest course in the Dallas
area. Added to this, he has redone
the greens of Dallas Country Club
and Rivererest in Fort Worth and
reworked layouts at Lakewood in
Dallas and Colonial in Fort Worth.
Midland, Odessa, Alice, McKin
ney and Stcphenville golfers will
all vouch for Plummer’s ability in
golf course design and construc
tion.
Completely Modern
Having all modern designs in
corporated, the A&M course boasts
an underground water system that
stretches over the entire length of
the course. Also all the rough
has been dug so that ditches up to
three feet deep with grass growing
over them line each fairway.
A&M was fortunate to get Clyde
Harrison as the greens keeper.
Harrison, who was recently with
the Glen Garden Country Club of
Fort Worth, is well known
throughout the state for his ability
to keep greens in tip-top shape.
Club House Also
For a dub house, a masonry
structure adjoining the course is
currently being remodeled. It will
contain a golf shop, along with a
lounge for the arm-chair golfers.
Joe Fagen, a member of the
A&M staff and an ex-student, will
serve as pro-manager of the
course. Fagen is a registered
member of the PGA.
Members of the golf course ad
visory committee are Fagen, James
B. Harvey, ’22, Charlie K. Leigh
ton, ’42, Dr. Robert F. White of
the Landscape Arts Department,
Dr. R. C. Potts of the Agronomy
Department, Dr. Jack Miller of the
Animal Husbandry Department, A.

to he content to follow Lary. Dil-
: Ion is in second place in this div
ision with 2-17 yards in 11 at-
I tempts, and has an average of
1 22.4.
Aithough he does not pass, Bob
\ Smith is in second place in total
.Tfense depai tment ami his aver
age per try is still better than
i anyone ri-e in the conference. Gil-
1 bert Bartosh is first with a 1,516
; yard total.
Andy Hillhouse, the 6’ 4”, 225
lh, end of the Aggies, is the fifth
leading pass receiver in the confer-
! once. He has caught 18 passes for
451 yards and six touchdowns to be
! the highest scoring end in the con-
: feronce.
Ben Proctor, Texas end, follows
i Andy with 18 catches for 444 yards
: and four TDs. Tom Stolhandske,
also of TU, is number ten in this
department. He has caught 16
passes for 222 yards and one
touchdown.
But it is in the leading scorers
divi.-ion that A&M really shines.
Out of the first ten scorers in the
SWC, the Aggies have five men.
Smith leads the line with 14
touchdowns and 84 points. Next
on the Aggie lineup comes Andy
hillhouse, Yale Lary, and Bill Tid
well. Each of these teammates
have crossed pay dirt six times
for 36 points each. Then comes
Harrow Hooper with 34 conver
sions for 34 points.
Second loading scorer in the con-
forence is Kyle Rote, who has
made 12 TDs and 72 points for
SMU, while in third place is By
ron Townsend who has 11 trips to
the promised land for 66 points.
By these simple statistics the
many thousands of partisan fans
can see that Coach Hairy Stiteler’s
Aggies, in their best year of foot
ball since the turn of the decade,
have done much better than the
expected “50-50 in 1950.”
