Coach Abe Martin talks over strategy he’ll use this Sat urday with TCU seniors Buddy Dike (38), Jim Shofner (22) and Jim Ozee (55) as they attempt a third time to whip the Aggies. Incentive to play the best game of their careers is the fact that as varsity players they have never beaten A&M. s PORT SLANT SWC HIGHLIGHIS S P.y GARY ROLLINS Battalion Sports Editor California sunshine, the moist kind, forced the Aggies indoors for the Second straight day this week. With the rain-soaked practice fields out of commission yester day, the Cadets donned tennis shoes and “walked through” their offensive and defensive plans for TCU.

He owns and manages the A&M Men’s Shop at North Gate, which he established in September, 1956, while a sophomore. Although his store is small in size, he maintains a wide variety of popularly priced military and civilian clothing to suit every taste. The shop features Ivy League styling and all the latest fashion in men’s clothing. And if, just by chance, he hasn’t got exactly what you’re looking for in the way of a sport coat, suit or other items, he’ll get exactly what you want, pronto. Por the convenience of you men who prefer to buy now and pay later, Dick is always glad to open a charge account in your name. Just ask him. The next time you’re shopping for clothes, be sure and stop by the A&M Men’s Shop, and get the most for your money. ed “the practice session will not be too long if the fields arc still muddy”. With regard to the Horned Frogs, Bryant said “TCU would rather beat us than any other team in the world—but we’d rather beat them more than any team in the world—because it’s our next game.” The Froggies, possessors of the Cotton Crown for the last two years, are not living up to pre season predictions of cellar-dwell ers. In their first encounter of the season, they tied favored 5 Kan sas, lo-U. Their second game was with powerful Ohio State, and the Horn ed Frogs staged what might be called the upset of the year, down ing the Buckeyes 18-14. After that, they suffered a loss to the Arkansas Razorbacks — in Little Rock — and resumed their win ning ways last Saturday by smoth ering Alabama, 28-0. Since the Texas Christian of fense lost its old “one-two,” Swink and Curtis, they have turned their attention to defense, and presently hold the best defensive record in the conference. In four games, they have sting ily begrudged only 576 yards to their opponents, meanwhile com piling 997 yards in rushing yard age. Jim Swink, the Rusk Rambler, has graduated. But the Frogs have another all-American candidate in Buddy Dike, 195-pound senior from Oak Park, Ill. He will re turn to action in this game, hav ing sustained an injury against Kansas. While Dike was mending, Jim Shofner, the Horned Frogs answer to John Crow, King Hill, George Walker, etc., has been setting some marks of his own. iice PRE-ELECTRIC SHAVE LOTION to get a better shave I Quicker closer smoother no matter what machine you use. 1.00 plus tax SHU LION New York • Toronto SHULTON PRODUCTS MAY BE SECURED AT ELLISON PHARMACY The Rexall Store at North Gate and 101 S.

Because of the scope of the company's research and development program, I’ve had the opportunity to work with tech nical experts in many related fieldSo And Eve seen at first hand the responsibility which General Electric has given to younger men—'proof to me that in a big company a young man can get to tackle big Jobe.” • -4 c The research being done by Dr. Yusuf A. Yoler is significant not only to himself, but to General Sh’ttfhJ and the security of the nation as well. At present, t he company is participating as a prime contractor on three of the four long-range ballistic missiles pruF gramed by the TJ S. go vernment. Yoler, who is play ing an impor tant role in this w ork, directed the design and development of the world’s largest hypersonic shock tunnel — a device which will “test-fly” missile nose cones at speeds over 15,000 mph. Progress in research and development — as Well as in every other field of endeavor—depends on how well young minds meet the challenge of self-development. At General Electric there are more than 29,000 col lege graduates, each of whom is given the opportunity to develop to his fullest, abilities.
