(2) There the student will be given neces sary forms to fill out and have ap proved by the department head in which field he wishes to tutor students. (3) The student is then placed on the qual ified list of tutors by the Registrar. This list is made available to students needing tutors. There is currently a shortage of student tutors.

The outstanding victory was that scored by twice-beaten Southern Methodist over a revitalized Notre Dame team that had been figured ready to reclaim its old place of national dominance. SMU’s Fred Benners, completing 22 passes, pitched the Fighting Irish dizzy at South Bend and the Mustangs romped home, 27-20. Texas won its fourth straight game by upending Oklahoma, the 1950 national champion, 9-7, and Rice smashed Navy in a night game at Houston. 21-14. Notre Dame Falls Notre Dame, ranked fifth in last week’s Associated Press poll, was one of two of the ten top-ranking elevens to fall upon bad times. Ohio State, No. 9, found a stone wall in Wisconsin’s line and was held to a 6-6 tie. Top-ranking Michigan State had a severe fright at East Lansing where an aroused Marquette team took a 14-6 lead into the final min utes. The Spartans rallied for two touchdowns in the final seven min utes. The California Bears continued their mighty offensive to beat Washington State, 42-35. Pappy Waldorf’s Athletes, unbeaten in regular play in the last four years, have rolled up at least 34 points a game against Santa Clara, Penn sylvania, Minnesota and now Washington. Tennessee toyed with Chatta nooga, 42-13; Texas A&M, No. 4, downed Trinity, 53-14; Illinois, No. 7, crushed Syracuse, 41-20; Georgia Tech, No. 8, easily trim med Louisiana State, 25-7, and Maryland, No. 10, toppled hitherto unbeaten Geogia, 43-7.

Led by Dick Kazmaier, one fothe nation’s best passers, the Tigers now have won 16 games in a row, longest streak going. Cornell remained in the thick of the fight for Eastern honors by trouncing Harvard, 42-6. Villano- va established itself as one of the leading Eastern independents by topping Alabama Friday night, 41- 18. It was the thrd straight defeat for Alabama( one cE the season’s major disappointments. Kentucky, conqueror of Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl, also lost three in a row before bounding’ back Satur day to beat Mississippi State, 27-0. Early surprise of the fast West ern conference is Northwestern, which now has beaten Colorado, Army and Minnesota in succession. The Wildcats took Minnesota Sat urday, 21-7. Baylor Keeps Pace Baylor is keeping pace with Tex as A&M and Texas in the South west. The Bears, with a star pass er in Larry Isbell, squeaked past a toughie in Arkansas, winning 9-7. A “sleeper” in the early Autumn analyses, Georgia Tech has emerged as one of Dixie’s titans by beating four tough opponents im pressively—' SMU, Florida, Ken tucky and Louisiana State. California again looks like the king bee on the Pacific Coast but the bears certainly will have to contend with Southern Cal and Stanford. Southern Cal beat Ore gon State Saturday, 16-14, and Stanford mauled UCLA for its fourth in a row, 21-7. Student’s Progress Thrill For Gammon “The greatest personal satisfac tion that I get from teaching is that of watching young progress from green, half scared kids, just beginning college, to mature men grasping the full value of their education,” said Dr. S. R. Gam mon, head of the history depart ment. Dr. Gammon has served as head of the history department since September, 1925, when he first came to the college. He began his education in 1907 at Washington and Lee University where he re ceived his BA degree in 1911. Con tinuing his studies, he did grad uate work at the same university and received his MA degree in History in 1913. At the outbreak of World War I, Dr. Gammon, entered the armed services and received his commis sion in the United States Army. He was assigned to the regimental staff of the machine gun training center at Camp Handcock near Augusta, Ga. After receiving his discharge in 1919 with the rank of first lieutenant, he immediately began preparation for work on a doc tor’s degree. He enrolled at John Hopkins University, where he received his PhD in 1921 for his dissertation on the presidential election of 1832. It was while working for his MA degree that he decided to make history his major field. “I decided that history was the widest WhaVs Cooking AMERICAN CRYTOGRAM AS SOCIATION—Monday, 7:30 p. m., YMCA.

He was head of that department from 1921 to 1925, when he came to A&M. Dr. Gammon’s present avocation is like “bus driver’s >holiday” be cause he considers his Great Is sues course his greatest hobby. “As a fellow gets older, he be comes more absorbed in his work. Great Issues is a hobby of mine and I get pleasure from arrang ing the course which is offered during the spring semester,” he said. An outdoorsman, Dr. Gammon prefers hunting game fowl and playing golf. Along with Dr. J. H. Hill, also of the history depart ment, he makes annual hunting ti'ips to East Texas during the duck season. Married for 33 years, Dr. Gam mon has two sons, both of whom are A&M honor graduates. One son, William, was killed on Leyte Island in the Southwest Pacific during World War II. A second son, Samuel III, served in the European theater of operations during World War II and was recently recalled into active service. A member of the A&M Presby terian church, Dr. Gammon has been an elder for the past 25 years. The Gammons were members of the Presbyterian Church in Bryan from 1934 to 1944 before trans- fering to the the local church.
