Page 4 THE BATTALION Monday, October 29, 1951 Marciano Closes Chapter On Heavyweight Joe Louis By MURRAY ROSE NEW YORK, Oct. 29—<#)—Joe Louis is through. Boxing has a new idol today in Rocky Marciano. It’s the old story of the ring. Youth must be served. ' At 2:36 of the eighth round in Madison Square Garden last night, the old Brown Bomber was stretch ed on his back on the apron of the ring in a pathetic finish to one of the most fabulous stories in all sports. Today 27-year-old Rocky, a one time soldier, shoeworker, and ditch- digger with little more than three years of professional fighting be hind him, was the toast of the town, the man of the hour. The big brass of the Internation al Boxing Club will sit down today with Rocky, born Rocco Marche- giano on Sept. 1, 1924, and discuss future plans for the new young tiger of the ring. He’ll be offered a shot at Ezzard Charles, the ex-champion, for Feb ruary or March and a possible shot with Jersey Joe Walcott next summer. For Louis an old man of the ring at 37'/j years, it’s the end of the long trail—a trail that began 17 years ago and brought him the world’s heavyweight championship and ring earnings of more than $4,500,000. Now the road turns in another direc tion. It was only the third loss in Joe’s 71-bout career and the second knockout. He was kayoed in 12 by Max Schmeling in 1936. For his victory, Marciano collec ted his biggest payday, about $44,000. Louis received about $132,000. Rocky got 15 per cent of the net gate and of the $185,000 radio-TV receipts. Louis got 45 per cent. Joe said he’d wait until Monday to make a decision about his fight ing future. “I don’t want to make a hasty decision,” he said through puffed lips in his dressing room. He doesn’t have to say it though. The crowd of 17,241 (gross gate $152,845) in the Garden and the 50,000,000 or more others who watched via a coast-to-coast tie- cast, know the answer. Graves (Continued from Page 3) Little took on an added chore Slong with Sam Moses. These two powerful tackles had the all-im portant job of delaying the ends on defense. At several times during the game, A&M was employing four tackles. Besides Little and Moses, two more tackles were seeing ser vice at their regular spots. Jim Fowler, Van Heatherly, and Alvin Langford were outstanding for the Aggies with their alert linebacking. They were often the Cadets standing in the holes open ed by the Baylor line. Bobby Shaeffer should also be praised for his defensive play. He was always giving pass receiv ers a headache and time after time he broke in to set the Baylor run ners for a loss. Now the talk is all Rocky, the new wow of boxing, the hit of television. Thirty-eight fights, thirty-eight victories, 33 knock outs, almost a carbon copy of the string hung up by the once magnificent Brown Bomber. And Rocky tore a page out of Louis’ book in writing finish to it. He belted the balding Joe with rights to the kidneys to take the drive out of his legs, he rushed him until the Bomber was befud dled and he finished him with the fury of the old Louis. Leading on the scorecards of all three officials going into the eighth round, the swarthy, 26-year old Brockton (Mass.) belter, tore out of his corner with the advice of Trainer Charley Goldman ring ing in his ears. .tnuiki “Get him now.” He did. A scowl on his face, Rocky blazed after the tiring ex champ. A left hook flush to the jaw dropped Louis. At two, he was on one knee while he listen ed to Referee Ruby Goldstein’s count. At eight he was up . . . but he was done. Marciano stormed after him. A right to the head dazed the Bomb er. He tottered back against the ropes and his hands fell to his sides. Then a crunching left hook to the chin and a right to the head and Joe started down. As the fall began, Rocky ripped another left hook to the body and Louis went through the ropes and on to the apron of the ring on his back. This was all, he didn’t move. Goldstein took one look at the helpless champion and spared him a count. He waved his arms and it was all over. Louis’ comment on the b i g punch: T saw the right hand coming, but I couldn’t do anything about it. I was awfully tired. I’m too old I guess.” Penny Has One Of College’s Big Jobs The Dean of Men, who is re sponsible directly to the President of the College, is considered by college officials as one of the toughest and least publicized jobs on the college staff. “. . .

Starting to college in 1920 brought Penberthy together with many sports notables. The pres ent track and swimming coaches of Ohio State, Larry Snyder and Mike Peppe, respectively, were both his classmates. George Guthrie, a nationally known track star and a one-time mem ber of the United States Olympic team, was another classmate in college. Changing courses three times, Penberthy remained at Ohio State for six years where he was a mem ber of the freshman track team, Sigma Delta Rho fraternity, Scab bard and Blade, an honorary mili tary organization; and a cadet lieutenant colonel in the ROTO in command of the artillery regiment. After he graduated from the university in 1926, he came to A&M as assistant director of the physical education department. He was placed in charge of in tramural athletics, which was a part of the athletic department at that time. Started by H. H. House, now at Washington University, the intra mural program was only three years old then, but it was similar to the one now in operation, Pen berthy said. From 1935 to 1940 intramurals were at their peak, although they were only 12 years old, he added. In 1937 he became head of the physical education department, and the intramural program was form ed into a department of its own. After ten years with the physical education department, he became Dean of Men in 1947. Mr. and Mrs. Penberthy, who live on Hensel Drive, North Oak- wood in Bryan, are the parents of three children: Wally, 17; Beth, 15; and Jean, 13. UMT (Continued from Page 2) it absolutely necessary that the best possible UMT plan he put into effect as soon as conditions per mit.” Senator Cain (R-Wash) and Sen ator Hunt (D-Wyo), also members of the Armed Services Committee, predicted stormy debate on the is sue. Both lawmakers said, how ever, they hope Congress will en act legislation clearing the way for starting UMT when feasible. Senator Edwin C. Johnson (D- Colo) said he will continue to op pose the projected UMT program “because it would put an eight-year mortgage on the lives of all our young men at the very time they should be getting a start on their careers.” Seven Months Johnson was referring to a pro vision of the plan requiring seven and a half years in a reserve com ponent after six months of UMT training. That would make train ees subject to call in the reserves of the Army, Navy, Marines or Air Force, or in the ground or Air National Guard.

Austin Site Of New Air Reserve Branch An Air Force District Headquar ters supervising all reserve activ ities in Texas will be in operation in Austin before Jan. 1, Assistant Secretary of the Air Force Eu gene M. Zuckert announced re cently. The headquarters is a test pro ject to determine the best method of administering reserve personnel and supervising their training, Zuckert said. For Texas Air Force reservists, the new headquarters will provide all administrative and supervisory functions now being performed by 14th Air Force Head quarters at Robbins Air Force Base, Georgia. Zuckert pointed out that the Austin headquarters is a part of the experimental phase of the re cently announced long range re serve plan, a five-year plan aimed at making the Air Force reserve a more efficient organization. Test district headquarters are being set-up also in Harrisburgh, Pa., San Francisco, and Indiana polis. This test program, to extend over the next 12 months, is ex pected to set the pattern for the establishment and operation of fu ture reserve districts. The long-range plan calls for 48 districts of the nation’s Air Force reserve organization. Generally, each state will be a district. Under supervision of 14th Air Force, personnel at the Austin headquarters is expected to include about 50 officers, 170 airmen and 100 civilians. Texas was selected as a test- tube for the district plan because Air Force reservists in Texas re- Dr. Wing to Write Book On Biology of Birds Dr. Leonard Wing, ornithologist of the wildlife management de partment, has been offered a con tract by McGraw-Hill Publishing Company to write a book on the biology of birds.

The major portion of the Air Force reservists in Texas live within a 200-mile radius of Austin. Organization of the Austin headquarters pends acquiring suit able office space in the city. The Texas Air Force Reserve District will administer approx imately 600 permanent-party Air Force personnel. This includes Air Force Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (AF ROTC), Volunteer Air Reserve Training (VART), liaison, and Air Force Reserve Training Center (AFRTC) personnel. Records of all Texas reservists will be maintained at the Austin headquarters. The Austin test headquarters is the second experiment to be ini tiated in Texas in connection with the new Air Force Reserve Long- range plan, drawn up by Brig. Gen. Robert Smith of Dallas. A test sur vey of reserve manpower is in progress now in Dallas. Throw Away nicotine; /lit A itch to Craneman to Assist Pan-Am Union Dr. Chris H. Groneman, head of the' industrial education depart ment, has been invited by the Pan American Union in Washing ton, D. C. to assist in the prepara tion of a manual on vocational ed ucation. This manual, when com pleted, will be used in South Am erican countries. Groneman’s contribution to the manual consists of preparing a chapter on pre-vocational guidance. The Pan American Union is assist ing a number of Central and South American countries in the develop ment and promotion of vocational education programs. Ballon Fire Burns 13 UN Soldiers Panmunjom, Korea, Oct. 29—<^P) One of four hydrogen-filled bal loons over the armistice talk site exploded this afternoon, burning 13 American soldiers. Some soldiers extinguished their flaming clothing by leaping into a nearby river. The big yellow balloon had been lowered for refilling when it ex ploded. The balloons are to warn air craft away from the area. Helicopters evacuated 11 men, who suffered the worst burns. An ambulance took the other two back to UN lines. Supplies in the area caught fire and threatened to ignite a stack of small cans of hydrogen. Lt. Col. Joseph Borchert of Salt Lake City, Utah, with three en listed men rushed into the burn ing area and shoveled sand on the flames. Communist Security Police in spected the scene of the' explosion and asked for a full report from UN Military Police Lieutenant Howard C. Hoppus of Warsaw, Ind. “I would do the same if anything happened to their equipment,” Hop- pus said after replying to all the Communist questions. When Chinese and North Korean administration personnel gathered around the burned men waiting to be evacuated, a United Nations staff officer went into the liaison tent and asked the Communist Se curity Officer to clear the area. “I will if you make it a formal declaration,” the Red officer said. “I ask it as a humanitarian ges ture,” the Allied officer replied. The Communist refused, but within a few minutes the last in jured man was taken away.

Along with her work at the MSC, which consists of conducting all committees, handling details of social activities of off-campus and on-campus activities, Mrs. Hilliard also acts as couneelor for many Always ready to listen to stu dent’s problems, she has indeed been a friend to the Aggies. In cluded in this task, her personal ity and charm have always made the student’s parents and A&M visitors feel at home in the “liv ing room of the campus.” It was with little surprise to the people that have in any way come in contact with Mrs. Hil lard that in the spring of 1948 she received one of the annual Battalion awards, which cited her “for her organization and opera tion of the Annex Student Center and for her work in planning a social calendar for Little Aggie- land.” Her first contact with A&M was in 1941 when she was secre tary to W. R. Horsley of the CITY TEXAS Israel’s Views Sought Over East Defense Tel Aviv, Israel, Oct. 29— (iP)—Reliable sources report the. United States, Britain, France and Turkey are seek ing Israel’s views on the pro jected Middle East defense com mand which Egypt refused two weeks ago to join. The informants said envoys for the four Western powers called at the foreign ministry yesterday with notes from their governments. The urgency of the situation was said to have prompted the Sunday visits. Egypt bluntly rejected the West ern invitation to become a found ing member of the Middle East alliance, which would set up an in ternational force to guard the Su ez Canal. She contended the Brit ish must get out of the Canal Zone and the Sudan before she would even consider the plan. The Western Powers indicated they would go ahead with their plans without Egypt. At the same time Egypt junked her treaties under which British forces were stationed in the two territories and has been trying— so far without success—to throw the Britons out. (Informed sources in Beirut said yesterday that Lebanon smallest member of the Arab League, feels the Arab Nations must urge Egypt to reconsider her rejection of the Middle East Defense Command. (Lebanon also reportedly be lieves the Arab Nations should urge Egypt to settle her differen ces with Britain through negotia tions. It was thought, however, that Lebanon would act with the other league members whose rep resentatives will get together in Paris when the UN Assembly meets Nov. 6). placement office. In 1946, she be came the first social director of the freshmen at the Annex, where she was working in connection with the Office of Student Activities. Again planning to enliven the Aggies social life this year, she started her program with the an nual president’s reception for the freshmen in the MSC in September. All of the committees of the MSC which were under her direc tion last year, have been opened on an even bigger scale this year by Mrs. Hilliard after the large turn out the students have demonstrat ed. The hardest part of her job, she said, is coordinating the var ious banquets, dances, and exhibits which make up the MSC activity program. When the words “MSC activity” are heard, one can be sure that somewhere in the middle of all the plans and operations will be Mrs. Hilliard, who has made the MSC the place it is today.
