College Bryan Whaf young people are doing at General Electric Young engineer sells million-dollar equipment to utilities Selling electric equipment for a utility sub station—-a complex unit used in power trans mission and distribution—requires extensive technical knowledge of the products in volved. Men who sell such complex equip ment must also know a customer’s require ments, what will best fill his needs, and how to sell the merits of their products to the executives who buy such apparatus. One such man at General Electric is 31- year-old Allen J. Clay, an apparatus sales engineer serving the electrical utility com panies in the Philadelphia-Allentown area. Clay’s Work Is Important, Diversified For Clay, technical selling is not a door-to- door job. As a representative of General Electric, he must be ready to discuss cus tomer needs with vice presidents or help solve intricate problems with skilled engi neers. His recommendations are based on his own engineering background, and are backed up by the know-how of the Com pany’s best application engineers. His in terest in working with people carries over into his community life, where he takes a part in many local activities—Rotary, Com munity Chest, Boy Scouts, and his University Engineering Alumni Association. 27,000 College Graduates at General Electric Allen Clay is a well-rounded individual who has come to be a spokesman for General Electric wherever he goes. Like each of our 27,000 college-graduate employees, he is be ing given the chance to grow and realize his full potential. For General Electric has long believed this: Whenever fresh young minds are given freedom to make progress, every body benefits—the individual, the Company, and the country. Educational Relations, General Electric Company, Schenectady 5, New York Now that it’s all over, I’m wondering why it ever start ed? According to our own Dr. Chris Groneman, A&M’s fac ulty representative who went to Detroit for the NCAA meet ing, and Dr. E. D. Mouzon, president of the Southwest Con ference, the NCAA has an announced policy not to terminate a probation before it expires. If such was the case, why were we (and everyone else) allowed since August to think that there was a possibility of our getting off probation before our time? Both Dr. Mouzon and Dr. Henry B. Hardt, TCU’s fac ulty representative to the SWC, were members of the 18-man infractions committee of the NCAA meeting in Detroit. Mouzon, according to a source close to the situation, promised Groneman to back up A&M on all counts, and from all indi cations he did. Hardt balked when asked by Groneman to support A&M and would promise nothing except that he’d do what he thought best according to the situation. Mouzon presented the motion that A&M be lifted from its probation and there was no second. You never know who your friends are! Returning to Saturday’s football action, it’s a big one with SMU, TCU, Rice, Baylor and even Arkansas still in the race for host team in the Cotton Bowl. SMU meets Arkan sas in Little Rock, TCU takes on Texas in Fort Worth, Baylor journeys to Nebraska, and the Aggies entertain the Rice Owls on Kyle Field. The season’s record stands at 23-10-1. Here they are for tomorrow: A&M 40 — RICE 0 TCU 26 — TEXAS 20 BAYLOR 20 — NEBRASKA 7 ARKANSAS 20 — SMU 14 The Aggies have yet to hit their peak in 1956. Except for Quarterback Roddy Osborne, they’ll be at their top physi cal condition for Saturday’s contest. The Owls will probably put out an almost superhuman effort, but they’re not playing SMU or Texas. Coach Paul (Bear) Bryant’s Cadets are bet ter than their fifth-ranking nationally. They’re mad and the Owls will be the punching bag for their frustrations. It may be worse. Watch out, Jess! It looks like Jim Swink has broken out of his lethargy with that 112 yards last week in a losing effort against Texas Tech. It’s about time the Horned Frogs woke up and quit playing that 7-6 game with the Aggies. Maybe the 21-7 lacing at the hands of the Red Raiders will wake them up, plus the fact that they still have a chance to play in the Cotton Bowl. Texas is improving but not that much. Everyone seems to have a letdown after playing A&M and such has been the case with Baylor. Nebraska isn’t capable of coding with the depth and power the Bears pos sess. It’s hell to play in the Ozarks as Rice will quickly tell you. The Razorbacks are 100 per cent better on their home land and this week is SMU’s week to find that out. The Ponies are vulnerable to a good ground game, as was demon strated by A&M last Saturday. The Hogs have just such a game and will use it to good avail tomorrow. Tigers (dose Grid Season With Bellville Edgar Feldman regular starting Quarterback of the Tigers will miss the game tonight when they close but their season against the Bellville Brahamns. Feldman suf fered a broken foot, for the second time this year, in practice Mon day evening. The Tigers are looking for their second win of the seasqn in this the finale for both teams, Bell ville has a six won and three lost record for the year and are two and one in district play. The CHS group are having a tough season with a record of one win and eight losses for the year and they are nothing and three in district play. Alton Arnold, the regular right halfback will move into the down- under slot for the Consolidated team in an effort to keep as much experience as possible in the line up. The only other position in doubt for the Tigers is at center where Steadman Davis may not start be cause of a sprained ankle. If he is unable to start he will be replaced by the regular Right Guard David McNeely. The Battalion College Station (Brazos County), Texas Friday.

This will be a stiff test for the local “grunt and groan” men as the team from Houston has no age or experience limit and will pro bably have some real sharp wrestlers. Coach Russ Welder of the A&M team says that his charges are in the peak of condition and have been working very hard in preparation for the outing. Weider has in stalled a completely new type of wrestling idea in this years team, one that he himself typifies, that is to go after your man with a pin in your mind and to press your opponent all the time. This system of wrestling is not new but has been discarded by most coaches today in favor of the rest and ride method.

The other members of the team are Billy Mann at 123, Bill Christy at 130, Dave Henges at 137, Jerry Rouche at 145, A1 French at 177 and Charles Kappleman in the heavyweight division. Weider says that he is looking for a good showing from all the team but he is especially proud of the work of the thi'ee old team members and of Kappleman.
