And across Florida to Lakeland, land of a thousand lakes (we believe it every bit), drinking gallons of orange juice at signs marked “Orange juice, all you want, 10c.” We saw oranges be ing picked—by the acre upon acre upon acre. All along our agricultural minded husbands were observing farming conditions, methods and potentialities, checking the equipment, ocularly testing the soil, asking farmers along the way about land prices and farm ing conditions. We saw Tampa and Panama City. At the latter place we pulled in one evening about dusk to ask about cabin vacancies when a car pulled to a screeching halt behind us and its driver fell out of his car and around to the window of ours asking breathlessly “Are you really from Texas A&M College?” He was, of course, an Aggie and he had seen our sticker. He and pur husbands held old Aggie week while my friend and I cooled our feet in the Atlantic. And homeward, though not quite home yet. Through Mobile where we picked up several boxes of pecan pralines, lotion on our sun burns and some information all in one stop at a roadside stand of a typical gentleman of the Old South. “Shelling pecans,” he told us, ‘‘nothing to it. I’ll tell you a sec ret. If you want to pick out pecans in a hurry and all in perfect halves, pour •some boiling water over your pecans, leave them 20 seconds and presto, the job is al most done.” We haven’t tried it yet, but plan to. We hit the towns of Biloxi and Gulfport, Mississippi in the heat RADIOS <S REPAIRING Call For and Delivery STUDENT CO-OP of the day and wondered what people found there to talk about, but under different circumstances we probably would have been de lighted with what we found. New Orleans was the land of story-book charm—from every way we took it. Once there, we called the parents of some close friends of ours, people we’d also met at Aggieland. They—the Da leys said for us to come on out. We went expecting to get some firsthand advice on where to stay, where to eat, what to see. We got a genuine firsthand ac count of Southern hospitality. Bed rooms were ready for us—at the Daleys and their daughter and son-in-law, Marilyn and Jake Eas- tin. They gave us our meals— and they showed us New Orleans. . We saw the antique shops on Royal Street and the Night Clubs on Bourbonn. We saw places like A maud’s and Antoines and Court of the Three Sisters and Interna tional Club and Pat O’Briens. We went to Hotel Roosevelt’s Blue Room and up and down Canal St. we shopped—window shopped, that is—in places that had hitherto been just names. We saw the city parks and cathedrals, the ceme teries, the bridges. We saw the completely old blended with the completely new and we came back believing all the travel folders and all the chamber of commerce hulla baloo that there’s no place on earth like New Orleans. We nibbed el bows at French Quarters over cof fee and doughnuts with men from the docks and debutantes, and mil lionaires and waifs. Then we—best of all, indeed— came home again. We had seen America at work and America at play—in as large a dose as we could possibly take in a two week vacation. We have renewed confidence, renewed faith and renewed vigor! Dr. Carlton R.

Now it’s New York and Manager Casey Stengel singing the praises of the spectacular Sox. “Maybe we’ve been worrying about the wrong fellers,” muttered Stengel after Chicago had clawed its way back to a 5-4 victory in the second game of a vital double header yesterday with the Yank ees. The Bombers won the open er, 11-9, and appeared on the way to a sweep of the twin bill. They led, 3-1, after seven innings of the nightcap. So instead of slicing two games off the White Sox’ first place lead, the Yankees wound up just where they started—trailing by three and a half games. No matter what the result of single games today and tomorrow, the hot Sox will leave New York still pacing the Ameri can League. “It looks like we’re going to have to beat Chicago, rather than Boston and Cleveland, for the pen nant,” declared Casey. Fans Convinced of Prowess The jam-packed throng of 60,441, eager for a good look at pilot Paul Richards’ rockets, agreed with Stengel. The fans went away con vinced that the Sox were no acci dents. Indeed, not many in the vast crowd, gave Chicago much of a chance as the Sox came to bat against ace Vic Raschi in the eighth, trailing 3-1. But those nev- er-say-die visitors had other ideas. Pinch hitter Floyd Baker slap ped a single to center. Nelson Fox lined one to right and Eddie Stewart hammered a home run into the right field stands. Without an out being made, the Sox had forged in front, 4-3. But the Yanks hadn’t given up either. Singles by Phil Rizzuto, Gene Woodling and pinch hitter Johnny Mize in their half of the eighth tied the count against Ran dy Gumpert, who had replaced starter Joe Dodson. Again the Sox went to work. Jim Busby singled in the ninth and raced to third on a one-bagger by Phil Mask. Allie Reynolds re placed Raschi and yielded a two- bagger to pinch hitter Bob Dil- linger. That scored Busby with the winning run. Howie Judson set the Yanks down in order in the ninth but the victory went to Gum- pert, who now has won seven with out a defeat. Seven Hurlers Used In the first game, seven pitch ers took part, four for the winning Yankees. They surrendered a to tal of 27 hits, 15 by the Yankees including three-run homers by Yo gi Berra and Mickey Mantle. Boston’s third place Red Sox ad vanced to within five games of the top as Chuck Stobbs limited the Cleveland Indians to four hits and beat them, 9-2. Ted Williams paced a 14-M.t attack against loser Bob Lemon and two successors with his 14th homer and two sing les. Luke Easter accounted for both Cleveland runs with a homer in the ninth. Joost, Zernial Homer Homers by Eddie Joost and Gus Zernial helped the Philadelphia Athletics trip the Detroit Tigers, 9-5. The St. Louis Browns combined seven .safeties and five Washing ton errors for enough runs to whip the Senators 4-1. The Cincinnati Reds rallied for four runs in the ninth but fell one short as the Brooklyn Dodgers walked off with a 5-4 triumph un der the lights. New York’s . Giants remained five and a half games behind, ek ing out a 2-1 victory over the S Louis Cardinals in a game limited to eight innings by rain. Hank Thompson drove in both New York runs. Willie Jones hit his 12th and 13th homers, one with the bases loaded to lead the Philadelphia Phillies to a 9-2 triumph over Pittsburgh. Bob Rush hurled a 3-0 victory for Chicago over Boston as the Brave’s manager, Billy South- worth, bowed out in favor of Tom my Holmes.

AUTOS FOR SALE • Ag Tracksters Leave for Meet In California Bernarr Place, Bill Bless and Bob Hall, top Aggie trackmen left yesterday for Berkeley, Calif, where they will compete in the National AAU meet in that city Friday and Saturday. The three speedsters will be joined later in the week by Dar- row Hooper who is already in Cal ifornia. Hooper remained there after last week’s win at Seattle, Wash, in the National Collegiate track and field events. Hooper, on the strength of his victory in the shot at the Seattle meet, will be a favorite to cop the same title in California. He topped the weight stars with a toss of 53-11 to edge Parry O’Brien, USC, by one inch. Place, one of the top quarter milers of the Southwest Confer ence, will be competing in the . 400 meter race. Hall and Bless will compete in the 200 meter low hurdles at Bei’- keley. Hall is holder of the SWC record in the low hurdles and Bless is the record holder of the South west AAU 220 meter low timbers. The four Aggies, at top strength, should put A&M, as a team, close to the top in team standings. In last week’s meet at Seattle, Hoop er and Davis totalled 17 points between them to put the Aggies in 8th place among the teams represented.

A Blanks C, 7-0; D ’sRallyNipsB, 6-5 By TOM ROUNTREE Battalion Sports Staff Company A cinched a portion of second place in the freshman softball league and gave themselves a shot at sharing the first place position with B Squadron by beat ing C Company 7-0 yesterday afternoon. The A Co. pitcher, Bonzell, gave up only one hit in the five innings of play to down the Dog gies. Bill Ard, C Company pitcher, just couldn’t seem to control the hall as he gave up seven walks and three hits. The Birdmen scored two of their runs with men who had gotten on base with walks and were forced on home by other walks. D Rallies For Win Groundlings of D Company staged a last minute rally to win their game with B Squadron 6-5 in the bottom of the fifth inning. The game was a pitcher’s duel between Gonzales of B Sqdn. and Walton of D. Co. but the credit for the win goes to Doggie third baseman Bob Davis who came through with a two bagger just when the D Men needed it the most. D Co. center fielder Bramley had gotten on base in the bottom of the fifth on a walk and then Davis came up and got his first hit for four tries and blasted out the two bagger that scored the winning run. Dorm 15 Trips ’Sips A much improved Texas Geolo gist team bowed to Dorm 15 in their non-military softball league game 4-1. Losing pitcher Harry Smith gave up only one hit in seven innings but an error by the Rockcrusher’s short and three ill chosen fielder’s choices spelled the difference between victory and de feat for the boys from “40 Acres.” Winning pitcher Rudy Almaguer gave up only two hits and struck out eight men in the course of the game. 16 Leads NM Loop Dorm 16 took over the first place position in the non-military softball league by downing the Vet Villager’s 12-8. The Dorm 16 troop ers staged a last inning rally and literally blasted VV pitcher G. H. Bunch out of the box putting 5 runs across—bing, bing, bing, bing and bing! Losing pitcher was Don Aviles. In the only volleyball game sche duled, Milner dropped two fast games to Walton 15-0 and 15-10.
