Halftime Show
The world famous 240-piece Tex
as Aggie Band faces a stiff half
time task Saturday when the Ag
gie griddei's tangle with the Uni
versity of Houston on Kyle Field
Highlight of this week’s drill
will be a new movement called a
i-olling countermarch. The move
ment is a rank-at-a-time counter
march by the leading i*ank, extend
ing from goal line to goal line.
The band will enter the field
from the north goal line in closed
entrance formation. Members will
begin the rolling countermarch as
soon as the band clears tbe en
trance formation and will complete
it on the south goal line.
After a countermarch, the band
returns to mid-field and spells out
Cougars, once to each stand, to
the tune of “Flags Unfurled.” The
band will then reform to the strains
of “Washington Post.”

Lecture Ton ite
“The Pi’esent Status of the
Chemistry of Lignin” will be the
topic of a speech by Dr. Irvin A.
Pearl to the local chapter of the
American Chemical Society at
7:45 tonight in the Lecture Room
of the Chemistry Building.
Dr. Pearl is the Senior Research
Associate of the Institute of Paper
Chemistry of Appleton, Wis. He
I’eceived his B.S. in 1934, his M.S.
in 1935 and his Ph.D. in 1937, all
from the University of Washing
ton.
In 1941 Dr. Pearl joined the
staff of the Institute of Paper
Chemistry and since that time jias
directed chemical research pro
grams on lignin.
His chief researches have been
in the utilization of spent sulfite
liquor lignin, the chemistry of lig
nin, the chemistry of vanillin and
its derived compounds, chemistry
of aspenwood, chemicals from
wood, and pulp mill pollution.
promises to be the toughest
one of the season, as b o t h
coaches have agreed it will
take 100 per cent effoi’t for GO
minutes to determine the winner.
Whoever lets up will be on the
short end of the score at the end
of the game.
For this game, though, all past
records ai’e thrown out, and both
squads are placed on even keel, for
this has become one of the biggest
grudge contests in the Southwest.
All week, the Cougars have
primed for the battle by listening
to the loudspeakers blaring the
Aggie 'War Hymii during practice
and talking about beating the
Aggie Red.” This game means
more to the U of H than any other
on their schedule.
Meanwhile, back at Aggieland,
the Cadets have sharpened their
attack—and by necessity, have
improved the defense.
The team is almost whole again,
with the exception of fleet right
halfback Loyd Taylor, who has
been sidelined since the Maryland
game.
A crowd of 25,000 is expected to
be on hand to witness the clash of
the two football titans—knowing
that victory can go either way.
The Cougars have never beaten
the Aggies on Kyle Field.
Seating Correction
Wednesday’s story on the new
Kyle Field seating arrangement
incorrectly stated that juniors
have been issued grey cards,
sophomores, blue cards and
freshmen, white cards. Instead,
juniors will have white cards,
and sophomores and freshmen
will be issued no cards. Seniors
have been issued pink cards.
