Ken Hutto, leading point maker for the Aggies, brought 3,000 White Coliseum fans to their feet by calmly dropping in two free throws to give A&M a 29-27 lead. Hutto’s charity shots came only two minutes deep in the second period and were followed one minute later by Bill Brophy’s two free throws that gave the Aggies a four point lead. The loss was A&M’s first at home in SWC play, and enabled Arkansas to jump a With their sights set on a South west Conference championship that barely eluded them last sea son, Aggie footballers climb back into the pads Monday to open Coach Paul (Bear) Bryant’s third BATTALION CLASSIFIED For Sale Bicycle — top condition; greens and CD’s (31 by 31); green over seas cap, 7 1/8.

Abbott S2t7 Dean of the College half game in front of the Rice Owls, now in third place. The Cadets, despite the loss, main tained their hold on fourth place in SWC standings, and now have a 3-5 loop mark. Hutto, who had a perfect night at the free throw line sinking eight out of eight, dropped in two free tosses with 13.01 remaining to give A&M a seven point lead, their biggest of the evening. His 12 points paced Aggie scorers. Manuel Whitley, Arkansas’ lead ing candidate for all-SWC honors, swished a 25-foot set shot at 8:19 to give the Razorbacks a lead they held for the remainder of the game. Whitley was the game’s high point man with 25. The Cadets fought the Hogs on even terms throughout the first half. Arkansas’ biggest lead in the opening- period was seven points, and they held that only ’MURALS B - Armor and C - Infantry won their way into freshman tennis finals with 2-1 victor ies. B-Armor had little troub le with powerful Sqd. 10, but a stubborn Sqd. 12 made it con- sidei-ably tougher for C-Infantry.

Main Bryan m Whafs doing at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Jet Engines Tested ' in World’s Most Complete Privately Owned Turbine Laboratory Located on the bank of the Connecticut River at East Hartford is a singular development facil ity—the Andrew Willgoos Turbine Laboratory. Here, behind windowless, thick concrete walls, many types of engineers find a never-ending challenge in the development and testing of advanced aircraft engines. Test methods used by Pratt & Whitney Air craft in their unique laboratory are highly com plex. Tests are conducted on full-scale experi mental engines at simulated altitudes up to 76,000 feet. Extremely high speed airflow, with pressure and temperature accurately controlled, duplicates speeds as high as Mach 2.75. To re produce such prodigious flight conditions, ex traordinary equipment had to be devised. For example, a 21,500-hp driving dynamometer sup plies the enormous power needed to test jet engine compressors over a range of speeds from 800 rpm to 16,000 rpm. The time lapse between development and production of new engines is reduced consider ably by the advanced facilities of the Willgoos Laboratory. An outstanding example of results achieved through- concentrated engineering ef fort and complete research support is the Pratt & Whitney Aircraft J-57 turbojet. Today the unchallenged leader in its field, the J-57 is merely the forerunner of greater aircraft engines that will power the preeminent military and commercial aircraft of the future. Engineers in control room of one of eleven test cells at Willgoos Laboratory record important characteristics of gas turbine engines in operation. Andrew Willgoos Turbine Laboratory where jet engines and their components are explored. Cooling water from the Connecticut River can be pumped through a maze of conduits at the rate of 160,000 gallons per minute — iYz times the consumption of a city of half a million people. B-45 flying test-bed is shown here with an experimental jet engine suspended directly beneath the bomb bay. Its regular engines are idled while in-flight performance of the turbojet is observed and recorded. The perfect complement to the complex ground-testing facilities of 'the Willgoos Laboratory, the flying test-bed is another vital factor in reducing engine •development time.
