    Baker, Barber
Dropped Early
At McKinney
“The fastest field in the
history of the tournament,”
Miller Barber called it yes
terday afternoon when con
tacted to find out how he
fared in the McKinney Invitational
tournament over the weekend.
Barber and Billy Baker, mem
bers of the varsity golf team,
were entered in the tournament and
both men were eliminated in early
rounds.
Baker was dropped in the open
ing- round by Leonard White of
Dallas, one up on 18 holes. He was
shooting even par golf he said.
Barber, who qualified with a 70,
two under par for the short Mc
Kinney Country Club course, eked
out a one-up victory on the 21st
hole in a first round match against
Don Anderson of North Texas. An
derson was already up for a shoo-
in birdie four on the par five hole
when Barber sank a 30-35 foot
' chip shot from the edge of the
green for an eagle three to take
the hole and the extended match.
^ Barber then took on White, Bak
u’s conqueror, and shot two-under
golf only to lose out four and
three.^ The match was called be
cause of darkness Saturday eve
ning and continued Sunday morn
ing with White holding a three
hole lead for the thirteen holes
played.
In an all-North Texas final,. Don
January and L. M. Crannell, Jr.

splash in the magazine? Why,
Smith of course.
Devotes Six Pages
The first six pages of the mag
azine are devoted to Smith and
action scenes on the A&M cam
pus as well as shots of the bon
fire, yell practice, a shot in the
MSC, skull practice, still and run
ning shots and a full-page picture
of the man who is destined to be
come one of the Southwest’s great
est running backs of all times.
All the pictures and statistics of
“Lone Ranger” Smith were fur
nished by the College Information
Office.
Woodward, regarded by sports
writers and laymen as well, as one
of the top men in his field, spares
no superlatives on Smith.
The running commentary that
goes with the pictures lists Smith’s
accomplishments over the past two
seasons, delves into his private
life, his sleeping habits, h i s
thoughts before a crucial game,
what he thinks of when he gets the
ball from the quarterback and
many other interesting facts the
football fan will be interested in.
Makes Others
Nor is this the only magazine
in which long words of praise are
to be printed. Sport magazine,
‘Sport Life magazine, Southern
Coach and Athlete, Colliers and
undoubtedly, many others will use
picture and words to tell the pop
ulace of the United States what a
great football star “Bruisin’ Bob”
really is.
The San Antonio Impress plans
to use Smith on the cover of their
Sunday supplement section, possi
bly the week before the game
with Trinity, October 13.
Francis Wallace, who writes all
the sports for Colliers, has in
timated he will announce Smith
a,s his pre-season All-America full
back, probably in an early edition
of that weekly national magazine.

Yo
.ou’re looking at an average American boy-
like your own, maybe, or the youngster down the
block. Happy, unspoiled. Still young enough to
hold a mongrel puppy dog in his arms and love it
with all his heart.
Now look closer. At the pistol belt and the field
jacket, the duffle bag and the faded fatigues. This
boy, so like your own, is now a man as well—an
American G.I. Hardly out of his teens but willing
and ready to walk into the steel and fire of com
bat, if need be, to defend your country. And you.
When he’s doing so much, won’t you do some
thing, too?
Remember, defense is your job, as well as his.
And one very important way to do your job is to
buy U. S. Defense* Bonds. For it’s your financial
solidity, built up by bond saving, that puts the
strength of America behind our fighting power.
Help your country and yourself! Sign up for
Defense Bonds today—buy them through the
Payroll Savings Plan where you work or the
Bond-A-Month Plan where you bank.
The U. S. Defense Bonds you buy give
you personal financial independence
Remember that when you’re buying Defense
Bonds you’re building cash savings. Money
that will some day buy you a house or educate
your children, or support you when you retire.
Remember, too, that if you don’t save regularly,
you generally don’t save at all. So go to your
company’s pay office—now—and sign up to
buy Defense Bonds through the Payroll Sav
ings Plan.
Don’t forget that bonds are now a better buy
than ever. Because now every Series E Bond you
own automatically goes on earning interest
every year for 20 years from date of purchase
instead of 10 as before! This means that the
bond you bought for $18.75 can return you not
just $25—but as much as $33.33! A $37.50
bond pays $66.66. And sp on. For your security,
and your country’s, too, buy U. S. Defense
Bonds now!
U. S. Savings Bonds
are Defense Bonds
Buy them regularly!
