Physics Talk
Dr. Edward C. Campbell,
research physicist from Oak
Ridge, Tennessee, will speak!
in the Physics Lecture Room
at 8 p. m. Thursday on “Nu
clear Reactor Piles’’, Dr. James
G*. Potter, head of the Physics
Department, announced today.
Dr. Campbell’s talk will be ac
companied by demonstration. Dr.
Potter said. The discussion will
be of a non-technigal nature and
is open to the general public.
At present, Dr. Campbell is
assisting in research on reactor
piles at Oak Ridge, under the
Atomic Energy Commission. He
was . Assistant Professor of Phy-
ics at Princeton in 1942. He was
also one of the many scientists
who performed research on the
first atomic bomb.
Dr. Campbell was awarded his
Bachelor of Arts degree from
Michigan University in 1925 and
his Ph. D. from' Oklahoma Univer
sity in 1938.
The lecture is sponsored by the
A&M Physics Society, Potter
added.
It was a fiery march through Georgia,
this 1950 trek that found a lad named Smith
rather than a general named Sherman lead
ing the way. This march, though, took place
within the 100-yard confines of the Univer
sity of Maryland’s new Byrd Stadium at
College Park, Md.
And though the Aggie team was on fire,
12,245 spectators in the stands and a size
able number of press-box onlookers shivered
in the 40 degree temperature.
The initial Presidential Cup Bowl game
lacked nothing but a decent crowd. Of color
ful pageantry and spectacular football, it
had plenty.

in that press box, too—colored with embar

“Few college, ball games this season produced ball-carrying
performances that exceeded Those of Smith and Tidwell of the
winners and Morocco, the shifty Georgia lad from Youngstown,

Jesse Abramson
New York Herald Tribune
“A nian named Smith from IfoAston, Tex , used the American
Legion’s inaugural Presidential Cup post-season football game to
day as a vehicle iV.r a brilliant demonstration, proving that more
All-America selectors should have included a man named Smith
on move All-America teams.
“. . . . The Aggies were not only a rampaging running ar
ray which wrecked the heretofore stout Georgia defenses, they
were also an alert and strong defensive team.”
“. . . , The football used at the start was parachuted from
a Piper Cub. It landed among the Georgia rooters. They gave it
to the referee. That was their first and biggest mistake. The next
time the ball went into the air it landed in Smith’s hands, and
Georgia never recovered from the shock."

Return From Front
Bob Smith during the recent All-Americau
selection spree.
The wearer of the Maroon and White
numeral 36 wasted no time in, raising a few
eyebrows. The game was fifteen minutes
late in starting. Smith more than made up
for that lost time at his first encounter with
the ball.
The opening kick-off sailed straight to
the great Aggie full-back who was waiting
for it on the 2-yard line. He fumbled the
ball, though, and had to chase it back to the
Aggie goal-stripe.
Then he got down to business.
Behind beautiful blocking, he cut to his
right and roared down the side-line. A lone
Georgian, Fred Bilyeu, made a futile dive at
him on the Georgia 40. From there on in the
♦ field was bis.
Seventeen seconds after the
game started Harrow Hooper was
adding his first point-afer touch
down for the day.
The sprint seemed to be merely
a warm-up for Smith. Before the
dazzled spectators left the stands,
they saw him account for 206 more
yards—-158 rushing, 121 kick-off
returns, 22 pass reception, and
five passing.
Eighty-one of the rushing yards
came 45 seconds before the end of
the first quarter when Bruisin’
Bob charged through a gaping hole
at tackle to take another solo trip
to pay-dirt. Not a Georgian touch
ed him. ?
Smith Tosses
The five yards in the passing
department came when Smith toss*
ed his second aerial of the year, a
running pass to Cedric Copeland
who took it in the air on the
Georgia five and a half. A touch
down followed one play later. !:

Chiang Guerrilla Warfare
Effective, Military Believe
R. E. Jadreon
Washington, Dec. 11—</Pi—Some
American military men believe
guerrilla warfare on the Chinese
mainland by Chiang Kai-Shek’s
forces, with some help, could do
effective damage to the China
Communists
This opinion, expressed to a re
porter today by officials who can
not be named, is based on military
factors. It does not take into ac
count international, political and
diplomatic considerations. Be
cause of these latter factors and
White House expressions of dis-
J approval, there is reluctance to
push the idea.
One military view is that such
operations would he of definite
value as a diversionary operation
to draw away some of the Chinese
Communist strength now being
poured into the war in Korea.
President Truman has been cool
; to proposals to aid the Chinese Na-
; tionalist guerrilla effort because
of the danger that Russia might
; seize upon such aid as pretext for
openly intervening in the Asiatic
1 war.
Nevertheless, it is known that
some quiet, long-range studies are
underway here which could be used
if and when administration and
diplomatic policies change.
Among other developments, a
j high ranking officer of one of the
services who was an expert on
guerrilla activities in the Far East
during World War II has been
brought back to Washington from
an overseas assignment to help in
the studies.
Dispatches from the Far East
suggest that a sizeable Nationalist
guerrilla force exists in China.
Spencer Moosa, Associated Press
correspondent in Formosa, says es- !
timates range from less than
1,000,000 up to 1,600,000. But he I
points out they arc poorly equip
ped, with old arms and little am
munition. And, he adds, they need
a unified leadership.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur was re
ported to have wanted to accept,
early in the Korean War, Chiang’s
offer to send 33,000 of his Formosa
troops to Korea to join in the war
against the Communists. Wash
ington turned thumbs down on his
proposal for both political and
; military reasons.
Aside from the now well-debated
I political reasons, some high penta-
| gon officials have opposed the idea
on purely military grounds. One
argument advanced has been that
Chiang’s men would be more use
ful in waging guerrilla warfare in
South China.

Tokyo, Dec. 11 — ( 7Pi — General
MacArthur flew to Korea today
for a hard look at his heavily-hit
United Nations command. He said
it remains unbeaten, relatively se
cure, and able to battle the Chinese
hordes.
His secret visit to both the
northwest and northeast fronts
came as the last elements of 25,000
bone-cold, unshaven American ma
rines and doughboys streamed
down onto the Hamhung coastal
plain from a series of Red traps
near Changjin Reservoir.
A huge fleet stood off Ham-
hung’s port of Hungman. But
whether it would evacuate the wea
ry, outnumbered U. S. 10th Corps
units in the northeast remained to
be seen. The northwest front was
relatively quiet.
Mac Optimistic
There was a note of guarded op
timism in MacArthur’s statement
to correspondents after he return
ed to Tokyo from his quick trip
to the warfrouts. He had confer
red on-the-spot with his top gen
erals.
“The United Nations command,
in spite of its recent heavy fight
ing, is in excellent shape with high
morale and conspicuous self confi
dence,” the U. N. commander said.
“Although heavily outnumbered it
has come through in a superior
manner.
“The enemy’s claims of United
Nations losses in men and material
are fantastically exaggerated. We
are being forced to give ground but
our fighting capacity has suffered
little general impairment.”
He added that the Chinese Reds
had failed in a plan “to encompass

our destruction by one massive
stroke.”
“All our units are intact and the
losses inflicted on the enemy have
been staggering—estimated by lo
cal commanders in the field as
high as 10 to one compared to our
own,” MacArthur said.
It was the General’s first state
