The game shapes up to be a close one from the start as the Wharton quint defeated the Owl ets by two points, 62-60 while the Aggie five slipped past the Rice Freshmen with a one point mar gin, 48-47.

By JOE BLANCHETTE Battalion Intramural Writer Vein Bippert’s 50 yard runback of a D Infantry pass proved to be the decisive TD of the afternoon as B Transport romped to a 6-0 win over the infantrymen in the quarterfinals of the Intramural playoffs yesterday afternoon. Bippert’s interception came early in the contest and from that point on the TC men tried twice more for scores but couldn’t muster enough punch to tally. Jerry Saunders blocked an In fantry punt late in the first half and' with the ball on the Infantry 10, Bill Wright tossed a pass to Frnka in the end zone but the play was called back for a back field in motion penalty. Saanders Intercepts The Infantry’s Don Tabb tried a flat pass from his own 10 late in the game and again Saunders wp,s the interference in the plans of the “paddlefeet” as he inter cepted. Wright attempted two sweeps of the ends and then tried for a field goal which sailed wide. With only two plays remaining in the game Tabb lobbed a long pass which was completed to the TC 12 yard line. The final play of the game saw a Tabb pass sail far over the head of its intended receiver as the Transport squad ad vanced into the semi-finals of the playoffs. A Armored also advanced into the semi-final round of play by edging past the E Infantry foot ballers, 7-6.

Coolidge and McGee were outstanding for the victors.

C ongress has passed a law which makes it possible, now, for your Defense Bonds to earn interest ten years longer than originally planned—with no effort on your part. For example, a Series E Bond which cost $18.75 in 1941 will pay $25 in 1951. But if you hold it ten extra years, it will pay you $33.33, an average of 2.9%. And there is nothing for you to do. You simply keep your bonds as you have been keeping them. You may still redeem any Series E Bond at any time after you’ve owned it for 60 days. But holding your bonds is the smart tiring. So if you have bonds which are coming due this month, remember the new money-making chance your Government is giving you. Just hold onto your bonds and they’ll go on earning for you. In the meantime keep up your regular sav ing with more U. S. Defense Bonds — through the Payroll Savings Plan where you work or the Bond-A-Month Plan where you bank. If you want to be paid your interest as current income— The new law also allows you to exchange your Series E Bonds, in blocks of $500 or more, for Special Series G Bonds which pay interest semi annually at the rate of 2Vi% per year. For full details, ask at any Federal Reserve Bank or Branch. look how your maturing bonds go on earning under the new law!
