The College (Hospital does not
ha.ve an./aihbulance, Dr. J. E.
Marsh admitted - yesterday.
“A&M doesn’t .have an ambu

have is ah old ‘Army truck-which

Now -it -is" worthless and in poor

needed a berter truck and to see if
we could trade in the old Army
vehicle and ger one which would
prove dependable.”

being used as a utility vehicle and
ambulance by the hospital failed to
start because of damp sparkplugs
when called on an emergency, he
said.

Line--'*CaPs Threat
By ED HOLDER
Snorts Editor
The University of Kentucky will try to chop off the
three game winning streak of the Maroon and White tomor
row night on Kyle Field.
Coach Ray George’s Aggies are heavy underdogs in their
first home game of the 1952 season, as they play a team rated
last year as one of the nation’s best.
Babe Parelli, two year All-American quarterback of the
Wildcats, is missing from the visitors line up, and this will
hurt them considerably.
A running, passing quick-thinking quarterback, Parelli
was lost through graduation, and has left Coach Paul Bryant
searching for a man big enough to fill the vacant spot.
Only six seniors are on the Kentucky squad. The re
mainder of the team is composed of 15 juniors, 29 sopho
mores, and 9 freshmen.
From the Aggies comes, we will-4
have to play a baa’d ball game if
we want to win.”
Coach Dalton Faircloth, assist
ant backfield coach, answered this
when asked “Who’s going to win?”
“They have a very aggressive
ball club. In fact it’s one of the
hardest hustling teams I’ve even
seen,” Faircloth said.
“When I scouted them, I noticed
that their strongest point seemed
to be a very good defensive line,”
he added.
Graves At Quarterback
Trying to crack that tough line
will be Ray Graves at quarter
back for the Cadets, Raymond
Haas at right halfback, and Don
Ellis at left halfback.
Connie Magourik and Don Kach-
tik will share the fullback chores.
Both these men are hard runners,
and are good at bucking the cen
ter of the line.
At ends for the Maroon and
White will be big Darrow Hooper
and Eric Miller, Hooper is the
conversionist deluxe who has a
perfect record so far this year.
He is also the man who broke
the ice against the University of
Houston by snagging a pass in
the end zone from Ellis.
Miller a Threat
Miller is constantly a threat to
the defensive backfield of any
team. His aggressive pass catching
has opened up many breaks for
A&M.
Durwood Scott and Bobby Dixon
will start at tackles. Both have im
proved greatly over last year, and
have given the offensive line some
weight and power so badly need
ed.
The “Twin Terrors” Sidney The
riot and Marvin Tate will get the
nod for the guard slots. These two
sophomores have turned in good
performances against the U of H
and Oklahoma A&M. They were
outweighed in both the games by
at least 15 pounds per man.
Nation’s No. 1 Band
Ray Anthony Kicks-Off
Town Hall Series Monday
By JERRY BENNETT
Battalion News Editor
Town Hall will hold it first
program Monday night with Ray
Anthony and his orchestra as the
starring performers.
Anthony, his trumpet, and or
chestra will present a concert of
pops and dance tunes which have
placed the group in their top posi
tion in the music world. Vocalists
Tommy Mercer, Marcie Miller, The
Skyliners and the Anthony Choir
will be along to add lyrics to the
Anthony instrumentals.
Voted “The Nations Number One
Band” by the National Disk Jock
eys Poll, Anthony’s orchestra and
singers are famous for their re
cordings in addition to their many
personal appearances in night
clubs and hotels throughout the
country.
Two changes Anthony and other
band leaders made in styles of
dance music are responsible for
his rise to fame. Until recently or
chestrations were taking a back
seat to vocals resulting in the de
cline of good straight dance music.
Anthony along with Billy May and
others have taken steps to put or
chestrations back in their top pos
ition and use vocalists only for
variety.
Bop Rhythm
In addition to an abundance of
vocalists, good dance music was
also disappearing in favor of “bop”
rhythm.- Anthony’s style of music
is completely “bop-less,” the prin
cipal theme of the songs being em
phasized.
Town Hall patrons will probab
ly hear Anthony lead his 17 piece
organization in such numbers as
“Slaughter on Tenth Avenue,”
“Your Driving Me Crazy”,
“Young Man With a Horn”, “Ten
derly”, and “Stardust.” His own
compositions which include An
thony’s Boogie”, “Mr. Anthony’s
Blues” and “All Anthony and No
Cleopatra” will also probably be
heard on the program.
A&M Delegates
Attend SWC -
Meet Monday
A five-man committee will
represent A&M at the South
west Conference Sportsman
ship meeting at TCU Monday.
Representing A&M will be
John (Dukey) Childs, senior yell
leader; Frank Manitzas and Joel
Austin, Battalion co-editors; Gene
Steed representing the Student
Senate; apd Hapri Baker, journal
ism major from Memphis, Tenn.
The A&M delegation will ask
for the appointment of Baker as
executive secretary. The person
holding this office is responsible
for keeping all records of the com
mittee, sending notices of meetings
to members and carrying on busi
ness for the president and the or
ganization between meetings.
The Aggie delegates will also
present four other recommenda
tions to be considered: 1) More
publicity about sportsmanship and
the rewards it brings to the stu
dent body and school. 2) The
possibility of establishing s u b-
committees for sportsmanship on
each campus to aid the regular
committee members in their over
all work. 3) Limiting the length
of prayers before football games,
and 4) Encouraging more stress
on sportsmanship for intersectional
games.
At its meeting Monday the com
mittee will discuss sportsmanship
problems concerning the various
Tank Painters
Remain Unknown
Col. Davis, Commandant, stat
ed that he had nothing further to
report at the present time con
cerning the prankish daubing of
three medium tanks with blue and
gold paint sometime Monday
night.
Damage to the tanks, still on a
railroad siding and still the re
sponsibility of the railroad com
pany, will amount to an estimated
$1,500, when cleaning and re
painting costs are considered.
