Then came the jet age, and again it was the P & W A team that came up with the mighty J-57, most powerful production aircraft engine in the world today. Behind such accomplishments, of course, stand many development tools...tools like the house that jet engines built: the Andrew Willgoos Laboratory. Located on the eastern bank of the Connecticut River in East Hartford, this windowless, thick concrete-walled laboratory has been growing almost continuously since its initial “completion” in 1950. As more powerful, far more advanced turbojet engines are conceived, the means for testing them in development stages must itself under go carefully calculated alteration. Hence, authorship of today’s specifications for Willgoos Laboratory properly belongs to the experimental engines it is testing today. Similarly, tomorrow’s proportions, capacities and equip ment will depend upon the requirements of tomorrow’s power plants. Behind the ponderous walls of this multi-million-dollar structure lies the wherewithal to simulate many of the rigorous flight conditions to be encountered by military and commercial aircraft. The range of these conditions must vary from ambient pressures and temperatures in a static condition at sea level all the way to the pres sures, temperatures and high speeds involved in high- altitude flight. This, then, is the house that jet engines built; at the same time, it is the house that tomorrow’s engines wifi, change and re-build L. ^7 World’s foremost U i- ^ designer and builder of aircraft engines PRATT & WHITNEY AIRCRAFT DIVISION OF UNITED AIRCRAFT CORPORATION EAST HARTFORD f^CONNECTICUl’ Aggies Lose 10 As Grid Letters Awarded to 29 A&M, 1956 Southwest Con ference football champions, awarded 29 letters to mem bers of the team, Head Coach and Athletic Director Paul (Bear) Bryant announced yester day.

A&M loses the middle of a bi’il- liant line that held 10 foes to an 130.2 rushing average and power ful Jack Pardde, Look Magazine’s all-American fullback and almost 50 per cent of the stingy Aggie defense.

Ags Win SWC Rifle A&M’s rifle team captured the Southwest Confei-ence title with out firing a shot over the week end. Tied with the Baylor Bears for the championship, the Aggies were to fix-e against the Waco team Sat- ui’day at Rice Institute for undis puted honors, but the Maroon had beaten the Bears eax-lier in the sea son and A&M’s aggregate . total for the year was higher than Bay lor’s so the Conference ruled that the Cadets ruled as champs. Mehaffey Second SWC Scorer Ags Lose to Tech, Face Miami Wed. After losing: their third game on the current swing through the South, A&M’s basketballers end their jaunt Wednesday night against the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Fla. Coach Ken Loeffler’s five took it on the chin, 76-69, from Georgia Tech Saturday night in Atlanta for their fifth loss of the season. The Ags record now stands at 3-5. Captain George Mehaffey pushed his point total to 129, good enough for second in the Southwest Conference behind TCU’s Dick O’Neal, who has thrown in 136, with 22 Sat urday. Ken Hutto meshed 18 for the Maroon but the two were not enough to offset the height nor foul line ability of the Rambling Wreck who con trolled both backboards and hit 22 of 31 charity tosses. A&M out-scored Tech from the floor, but once again it was a matter of too much height as the Wreck out-gx-abbed the Ag gies, 51-35, off the boai-ds. Mehaffey shared the scoring spotlight with Georgia Tech’s Len ny Cohen, 6-7 center, with Jack Schwake scoring 12 for the Ca dets. Both Schwake and Mehaf fey fouled out of the game late in the final half. The Aggies wind up their road ti-ip tomorrow night, then take a short vacation over the holidays befox-e returning to work on the 26th. Loeffler’s crew meets the United States Naval Academy in the opening round of the South west Conference pre-season tour nament on the 27th.
