Not All
On Sta^e
o
Curtain Time Means Rest
For Hard Working Players
Ry WAYNE DAVIS
When the opening curtain goes
up in a theatrical production, the
show is just beginning—as far as
the audience concerned.
Rut for the actors, stage crew,
technicans, and plaV sponsors, it’s
all over but the clapping.
At curtain time, last week the
Aggie Players presented their C.
K. Esten-directed version of Ed
ward Chodorov’s three-act play,
“Kind Lady.” But the curtain went
up on work about six weeks ago,
■when the group first decided to
put on the play.
The actors, of course, had the
easiest part; all they had to do
was to memorize their lines,
learn where to stand and when
to walk, and study the character
of their part a bit.
Bnt the stagehands really had it
tough- All the action in “Kind
Lady” took place in the fabulously
sumptuous London apartment of
Mary Herries, a wealthy spinster.
And the stage crew and technical
staff were faced with the problem
of making a, beat-up old stage into
a reasonable facsimile of the rich
old lady’s home.
It was easy enough to lay out the
stage; tliat was done for the Play
ers by the author. But where the
set calls for a hand-carved divan
suitable to an elderly lady’s taste,
what can a poor prop man—operat
ing on a shoestring budget—do
then?
He immediately and fmntlcly
calls the local furniture distribu
tors for the loan of rich-looking
furniture. And, as those generous
gentry do, they crashed through
again for the Players; the set seen
on Assembly Hall stage would cost
you in the neighborhood of $3,000
dollars in the local stores.
Of course, a play can’t be pre
sented on a bare stage unless the
audience is genuine longhair, and
the Aggie Players, while they are
qualified to put on such a play,
would rather present one the audi
ence enjoys; so there next arose
the problem of putting up three
Classes in Bible
Slated for January
Two meetings for the purpose of
organizing Bible classes to begin
in January, will be held Tuesday
at 10 a.m. and at 7:30 p.m., in the
Bible classroom of the Baptist Stu
dent Center.
The classes will begin during the
week of January S, 1951, according
to Arthur M. Smith, of the Baptist
Chair of Bible.
Courses which will be taught
are a survey of the Old Testament,
a survey of the New Testament,
the Book of Revelation, the Life of
Jesus, and one called “all about the
Bible,” which is a study of the
Bible as a book.
Those wishing to enroll in the
classes may contact Smith for fur-

walls, suitablly decorated, and so
designed as to not clash with the
furniture.
After considerable hair-tear
ing and chain-smoking a color
was decided upon, and all the
stagehands had to do was paint
it and hang pictures.
The play called for all sorts of
exotic paintings—a Whistler, an
El Greco, and a Ming Horse among
others—-and, as it seemed that the
originals might be a little hard to
come by locally, substitutions were
made. There’s a Tang horse instead
Of the Ming one, but busy prop
crews turned up with copies of the
two necessary paintings, and an
enterprising cast member indus
triously carved out a Troubetzkoi
stattie.
All during this, of course, re
hearsals were going on, and the
backstage gang suffered contin
uous and harrowing interrup
tions as building dramatic stars
stumbled over their cans of
paint, tripped on their wiring,
and did their best to make life
miserable for the luckless
wretches building set.
It all worked out, though, and
it worked well, as last night’s au
dience will tell you. It was a long,
rugged job for only a two-night
inn, but the Players wouldn’t take
anything for the fun and experi
ence. Especially Alta Walker, Dar
win Hodges, and Pete Carson, in
charge of set design, lighting, and
construction, respectively.

Educator Says
Don’t point towards a spec
ialty in medicine until you
complete your formal school
ing, Dr. Jack Ewalt advised
students at the annual Pre-
Medical and Pre-Dental Society
banquet Thursday night.
Dr. Ewalt, member of the De
partment of Neuro-psychiatry of
the University of Texas Medical
School, was principal speaker at
the banquet, held in the dining
room of the Memorial Student
Center.
“Try to be a doctor and try to
be a good one,” Dr. Ewalt said.
“Learn a lot of medicine, but don’t
try specializing until you reach
your internship.”
“There are unlimited opportun-
) ities in all branches of psychia
try,” the speaker told the stu
dents. “A great number of jobs
are available in this field. I hope
that some of you will came into
the specialty of psychiatry.”
Dr. George Potter, faculty ad
visor for the society, introduced
the guests and several former stu
dents now in various medical
schools.
Douglas Henderson, president of
the society, served as master of
ceremonies

around right end to the Georgia
46 for a pick-up of 20 yards.
Glenn Lippman nipped at Tid
well’s heels in the rushing depart
ment. He chalked up 65 yards in
11 carries besides adding his usual
outstanding job as defensive half.
He also accounted for 36 of A&M’a
56 yards in punt returns. Yale
Lary made the other 20.
Defensive half-back Charlie Mc
Donald twice robbed Georgia of the
ball with interceptions, returning
each for 7 yards.
End Jerry Crossman led in pass
reception. He took two of Garde-
mal’s aerials for a total of 32
yards.
Line Blasts Georgia Defense
On the line, Molberg, Moses,
Meyer, Greiner, Tucker and Hodge
made Georgia’s flouted defense
look sick.
■Defensively, Molberg and Ends
Clinton Gwin and Dorbandt Barton
rushed Georgia passers off their
feet.
A total of 42 Aggies brushed
pails with the Georgia Bulldogs
before the game ended. And 42
Aggies can be credited with one
fine football game.
Morroeo Leads for Bulldogs
But Georgia, too, had its stand
outs. Left half Zippy Morroco led
the list. He scored one of the
Georgia’s touchdowns with a 65-
yard punt-return against the Ag
gie reserve defense in the third
quarter.
He made another Georgia TD
from the 2 yard line after setting
it up on a long ran. He made 57
yards on nine carries during the
game.
Bulldog Quarterback Mai Cook
was deadly with his jump passes
until the sharp Aggie defense be
gan to outguess him. He tossed
seven times for three completions
and 45 yards.
Georgia long-pass-specialist Ray
Prosperi attempted 10 passes, com
pleted 3 for 20 yards. He was
swarmed several times before he
got the ball away.
The Georgians were good sports,
too. Immediately after their 40-
20 licking they named Smith as the
greatest back they had ever seen.
They allowed plenty of respect to
the rest of the Aggie aggregation,
too.
Along other lines during the aft
ernoon, eight bands gave the ac
tivities a colorful and melodious
start. Included wore the Army
Band, the Marine Corps Band, the
Navy Band, the Air Force Band,
the Almas Temple Shrine Band,
Almas Temple Shrino Oriental
Band, Montgomery Blair High
School Band and Bethesda-Chevy
Chase High School. band',
The game was reportedly the
first time that hands from the
three services and the Marine
Corps lias ever appeared together.
The eight bands played the Star
Spangled Banner in unison follow
ing individual marches by each.
All of the military bands were
accompanied by a crack drill team
from the respective service. The
Air Force Drill Team returned to
the field at halftime to give a fif
teen minute precision performance
that grought gasps of amazement
from the meager crowd.
Sailors Root for Aggies
The Navy bandsmen were offi
cially designated Aggie rooters for
the day and broke into the War
Hymn at every occasion. The
swabbies, though, rebelled when
invited to join in a few Army
yells.
The two high school bands as
sumed positions on opposite sides
of the field where their easy-to-
look-at cheer leaders led them in
music and yells. Strictly partisan,
they cheered for the school on
whose side they were sitting.
The honorable Tom Cdnnally,
elder senator from Texas, caused
quite a stir immediately preceding
the kick-off. The white-haired vet
eran statesman was .given the hon
or of tossing the first pigskin onto
the field.
The ball had been dropped from
a helicopter by Lt. Ool. Joe Batjer,
USAF, A&M Class of ’37. It land
ed in the Georgia stands on about
the 40-yard line section and was
passed up to Senator Connally.
The Senator’s toss accidentally
struck Associated’ Press Photo
grapher Charley Gorry and left
the photog with a black eye. Gor
ry had spent seven years as lens-
man in the war zones without re
ceiving a scratch.
Soon after his toss, the Senator
discovered that his special 50-yard
line box seat was located on the
Georgia side of the field. Persua
sion to the contrary failing, oblig
ing officials got a car to carry
him to the Aggie side of the field.
Highlight of the game halftime
ceremonies was the presentation of
the Presidential Cup Bowl Queen
and her court and queens from
each of the competing schools.
Mary Corder, 20-year-old bru
nette from Arlington, Va., was
top regal beauty. Bryan native
Goldie Brians was Texas A&M
Queen. She was escorted onto the
field by Jack Raley, First Air
Wing Commander.
A sprinkling of Aggie uniforms
testified to the presence of several
students. Most came by air, but
at least one group made the gruel
ing journey via auto. They drove
for 38 hours straight.
Following the game, which was
inaugurated this year by the Wash
ington I). C. post of the American
Legion as an annual affair, the
press-box Occupants were in the
usual post-game hurry to pound
out and wire their stories.
Statistics and information were
being distributed to the busy news
men when the press-box loud
speaker blared forth with Bruisin’
Bob Smith’s amazing total yard
age for the afternoon.
One of the good-natured news
men grabbed the press box mike to
quip: "And that is a Presidential
Cup Bowl record.”
An Aggie standing near by had
an added phrase for that. His
remark: "For some years to come,
mister.”
Speeding on U.S. streets and
highways last year killed 10,000
men, women and children.
