Consolidated jumped off to a 17-
12 lead at the first quarter mark
and led all the way, although the
Tigers Avere outscored 18-25 in the
last half.
By the half-way mark, the Ti
gers had built up a 32-19 bulge
from which the Brahmas could
never recover. Bellville center
Largie Sisa scored 15 points but
couldn’t make up for all of Con

boards.

iVhat kind of a job
do YOU want?
If you still haveiVt made up your mind,
here's how to get practical information
that may help you decide
All over America there are thousands of young men and women
in college who are genuinely uncertain about this question of a
business career.
Perhaps you are one of them. Perhaps you’ve talked with
your placement bureau about prospects in transportation, in
engineering, or in one of the new, fast-growing industries like
electronics or plastics.
Only you still find it hard to make up your mind when you’ve
had no personal experience in considering the kind of facts and
figures that might decide your whole business future.
As advertising representatives for over 700 college news
papers, we’ve long been aware of this campus problem. And,
since we deal with some of America’s biggest companies, we
also know that there is a good deal of authentic business data
available that would be very helpful to college students con
sidering a career.
So if you’d like to be better informed about a particular field,
fill in the coupon and turn it over to the business manager of
this paper. He’ll send it to us.
Let us make it plain that we’re not establishing either an
employment agency or an information bureau. But we will do
our best to see that your inquiry is referred to the proper source.
In some cases you may hear directly from companies in the
field you designate. In others you may receive an industry-wide
report. It is entirely possible that, in some fields no information
will be readily available.
But we do know that American business is keenly aware of
its responsibility to American youth and constantly on the alert
for promising prospects. So send in your coupon today. You
have nothing to lose—and a great deal to gain.

Harper Carries
Gold Dust, Too
By RONNIE GREATHOUSE
Battalion Sports Staff
If precedent is followed, some of
the gold dust that Charles (Smoky)
Harper carries in his liniment
bottles should rub off on A&M’s
football teams.
Harper, A&M’s new trainer, ar
rived here Sunday night. The 55-
year-old native Georgian (you can
tell it by his accent) comes here
after four years at Kentucky.
Success seems to be a habit with
the football teams that Harper has
taken care of. Four have played
in bowl games, and three have won
the Ncav Year’s Day classic in
Avhich they appeared. Three teams
have won championships, and at
least SIX of his players have been
chosen on all-America selections.
Yesterday ivhen The Battal
ion’s photographer went to take
his picture, Harper said, “Wait
until I put on my Texas Aggie
jacket—I’m an Aggie now.”
“I am very much impressed with
the spirit and the friendly people
here,” said Harper. “I’m glad to
come to A&M.” His first contact
with the Aggies came in 1952, when
the Wildcats outscored the Aggies,
10-7, on Kyle field.
“In 1952 I was really impressed
with the student body’s spirit,” he
said. “This spirit is one reason
we came to A&M.”
While Harper Avas at Alabama,
the Crimson Tide won the 1945 and
46 Rose Bowl games. Kentucky
won the 51 Sugar Bowl and the
’52 Cotton Bowl games Avhile Har
per was there.
The list of players that Harper
has administered to reads like a
list of football’s Who’s Who—
Vito (Babe) Parilli, Harry Gil
mer, Bob Gain, Doug Moseley,
Vaughan Mancha and Steve Mei-
linger. All were all-Americas.
Parilli and Gilmer rewrote the
passing record books. Gain, Mose
ley and Mancha were among the I
outstanding linemen of the nation
during their playing days. Mei-
linger was the one-man team of |
the ’52 and ’53 Kentucky eleA^ens.
Harper considers the unbeaten I
1950 Wildcat team which rolled)
oA r er Oklahoma in the ’51 Sugar
Bowl the best he has ever trained. I
He first met Paul (Bear) Bryant,
the neAv Aggie head football coach
and athletic director, at Vanderbilt
in 1940. Bryant then Avas an as
sistant coach.
Starting his 28th year as a train
er, Harper was employed at six
other schools before coming here.
He started in 1926 at Clemson and
moved to Vanderbilt, where he was
employed three different times, |
Florida, Alabama, UCLA and Ken-|
tucky.
Harper is a 1923 graduate <
Mercer college at Macon, Ga., wheroj
he earned four letters each in base-|
ball and basketball, Mercer thenj
avus an all-male college.

NAME:
I N THE still of the night—high above a sleeping American
city—an unidentified aircraft is spotted. In a matter of
seconds a lightning-like jet interceptor takes to the air.
Unerringly, with an Aircraft Observer showing the way, the
Air Force F-94 Night Fighter speeds to intercept the
stranger. The Aircraft Observer is the man behind the pilot
—the officer who keeps America's planes flying on course
and on target. Without him the Air Force couldn’t do its job.
What is the Aircraft Observer?
He's a Radar Officer . . . employing an all seeing eye that
penetrates where human sight fails.
He’s an Aircraft Performance Engineer Officer ... know
ing everything there is to know about his plane . . . keeping
it fit for the skies and ready for action.
He’s a Navigation Officer . . . plotting his plane’s course
. . . with an entire crew depending on him for a safe flight.
He’s a Bombardment Officer ... in full control of the plane
over the target area . . . the Air Force Officer who “lowers
the boom” on the enemy.
What the Aircraft Observer gets
He earns over 55,000 a year. His silver Aircraft Observer
wings give him prestige and distinction, and he wears the
bars of an Air Force Lieutenant. They mark him as the
eyes, ears, and brains of America's Number One flying team.
What it takes to be an Aircraft Observer
The Aircraft Observer must be sound of limb, keen of mind,
and above all, must have the determination to be the best.
To qualify as an Aircraft Observer you must be single,
between 19 and 261/2 years old, and a high school graduate.
However, it will be better for you and the Air Force if you
stay in college and graduate before you apply. Then you,
too, can be one of the best ... as an Aircraft Observer.
