When the votes of the adult divi sion were counted, it was found that Mrs. Burney Mayer and Mrs. L. B. Hervey had tied for the most beautiful award, so each were given a prize. Mrs. Mayer displayed a large red Gladiola, and Mrs. Hervey showed an arrangement of Mermaid Cream Running Roses. The mpst unique arrangement prize went to E. J.

In the darkness, the Rev. T. H. Swygert began a narration and, as he told a series of flower leg ends, spot lights of various colors were turned on one by one, to show flower-costumed children por traying a particular legend. Fi nally, all lights were on and the scene was complete. After the pageant cake and punch were served by the Women’s Missionary Society and the prizes for the flower show were awarded.

Burris Major, USAF Adjutant Baseballers (Continued from Page 3) Bob Tankersley regained top form, as was shown with a 3-hit shutout over the Mustangs of SMU. Tank ersley pitched a four-hitter to drub the Ponies 3-0 while Hubert’s win was 4-0. Three unearned runs gave the Toads of TCU a 5-4 victory as the Aggies mark rose to 8-6 but the Aggies came back to swallow Rice 7-2 as Hubert turned in another of his sparkling performances. The Bearkats of SHSTC again fell be fore the rampant Aggies—in Huntsville this time—13-3. Pennant Hopes Darkened Hopes for a SWC pennant were darkened then by the powerful Longhorns of Texas as they drub bed the Farmers 14-10 and were further darkened when the Horned Frogs split a two-game series, 6-7 and 8-1. This gave the Aggies an 11-8 record for the season and a 4-4 record for conference play. Things started looking up and what was to eventually stretch into an eight-game winning streak be gan as the Farmer nine tripped SMU again, this time 5-4. The following week, Baylor fell before the onslaughts of the Ag gies twice. Hubert pitched another shutout to win 9-0 and Tankersley received credit for the other game on a 12-6 count. The Owls of Rice succumbed be fore the blistering Aggie attack as sluggers came to the fore to lead the Cadets to a double victory, 16-9 and 13-2. Then came the final two games with Texas. The Aggies won these two games 4-2 and 4-1 to wind up the season with a conference record of 11-4 and an overall mark of 18 won and 8 lost. FREE DINNER Watch for Your Name in This Space.

Do you forget Old Faithful when you’re in Yellowstone National Park? It seems almost an insult to talk about Col. Andy. Its like talking about your arms and legs. (We’re not going to mention the amount of credit due Ray Putnum until we get out of Eco.) In 1920 Col. Andy decided to look over Aggieland. Since then he has been freshman football coach, track coach (since ’21, and how many know it, Commandant of the Cadet Corps. This year bis track team scored more points than any other cinder team in the his tory of the conference—by a mar gin of 25 2/7 points. There it is in a nutshell. This year of 1951 has produced three conference champions so far and it looks like it might come up with the fourth. There’s just one thing. We hope that we don't have to wait another 75 years to see it happen again.

Williamson of Oklahoma said yesterday he will ask Dis trict Judge W. A. Carlisle to modify his order upholding the state’s new loyalty oath law. Judge Carlile upheld the oath Saturday and ordered fired a group of Oklahoma A&M College profes sors who refused to sign the oath or who signed after altering por tions of it. The test case was brought only in relation to the regents for Okla homa A&M colleges. Seven teach ers at the main A&M College in Stillwater intervened. But final decision in the case will affect all state employes who had until May 9 to sign. Both the A&M regents and the seven who intervened are expected to appeal to the State Supreme Court. An estimated 60 professors and employes stayed away from work at Stillwater yesterday. Regents pointed out to college officials that persons affected by the ruling who reported to work yesterday could be held in con tempt of court, along with the regents and college officials. 800 Million Asked For ‘Stockpiling’ Washington, May 22—CP)—Pres ident Truman asked Congress yes terday for an extra $800 million for stockpiling raw materials for national defense. The request was part of a $1,- 090,491,704 supplemental appropri ations bill asking money for five government departments. Congress already has voted $4,- 400,000,000 for stockpiling strate gic and critical raw materials for the growing defense program. The bill also called for, among other things, $121,775,000 for the Veterans Administration. Of this, $116,775,000 would be for life in surance payments to beneficiaries of men killed in military service. What’s Cooking AGGIE CHRISTIAN FELLOW SHIP, Tuesday, 7:30 p. m.

That’s the old house where Se well natural gas tax forces have dug in to keep the legislature in session while they try to get their tax plan passed. The rebel legislators moved into the old house to beat high rents that are hard on their $5-a-day pay. But the strategy apparently is solv ing the food problem, too. Rep. Clyde Whiteside of Sey mour lists these contributions to the pantry: Corn bread. Blackeyed peas. Bacon. Pickles. Strawberry jam. A South Texas banker wrote that half a cow is on the way. Rep. Gabe Garrett of Corpus Christi says a local wholesale gro cery merchant has promised to sup ply any other food necessary—or next month’s house rent. 49876 IS YOUR ELECTRIC APPLIANCE NUMBER Call today or go by and see the wonderful, work-saving appliances at GRIESSER Electric Company Southside — College in Illinois in 1934.
