The Battalion College Station (Brazos County), Texas Pulverizing Crow Unanimous Choice DALLAS, Oct. 31 (AP)—Looking- for an All-America? Don’t need to go any farther than Texas A&M College with its John Crow. That’s the opinion of the regional All-America board which has voted unanimously for the halfback of the Texas Aggies, who can find more ways to beat somebody than there Friday, November 1, 195? PAGE 3 are lives to a cat. The board, listing its first candidate for the A11-America team from the Southwest Con ference, thinks Crow, the 210- pounder who pulverizes lines be cause “I like to run over people” and comes up with the big defensive play, should get a backfield spot without argument. But the All-America crop in the Southwest Conference is bigger than usual, mostly because of the league’s great showing nationally. Light now Texas A&M is the No. 1 team in the nation and the confer ence has an outstanding intersec tional record. The board likes Buddy Dial, Rice’s pass - receiving wingman; Gerald Nesbitt, Arkansas’ full back; Charley Krueger, the Texas A&M tackle, and Roddy Osborne, A&M’s unorthodox quarterback who excels at making bad plays work. Crow and Krueger were prom inent contenders for All-America last year and Nesbitt also had his backers.

The practice session in sweat clothing was a short one, lasting only .15 minutes. The Cadets are still hampered by the injury bug, as all five players injured in the Baylor game last Saturday remain “question marks.” Darrell Brown, senior guard from Dayton and Bobby Joe Con rad, senior halfback from Clifton have been released from the Col lege Hospital and were present for yesterday’s workout. However, their injuries will probably keep them from seeing any action under any conditions. John Gilbert, senior pivot man from Russellville, Aik. is also on the doubtful list, but due to his home-state connections, may be al-1 lowed to participate on a part- time basis. Ends John Tracey and Don Smith will probably see limited action, but neither is considered starting ma terial. The teajm departed fr.om Easter- wood Airport this morning at 11. They will fly to Fort Smith, where they will work out this afternoon- The squad will spend the night in Fort Smith, venturing to Fayette ville early tomorrow morning for the game with the Porkers. Cincinnati’s stellar keystone combination, shortstop Roy McMil lan and second baseman Johnny Temple, was discovered in a Cin cinnati tryout camp. Razor back’s Alibi All Set, Will Use Influenza Excuse FAYETTEVILLE, Ark., Oct. 31 —CP)—Influenza punched holes in the Arkansas line today sending- two first and second string line men to bed with fever and broke into the secondary to down half back Mike Conway.

(Not a Town Hall Attraction) • v « you can help missiles 'think 5 better! Missiles are mental projectiles . .. “projections,” actually, from your mind to paper to components to systems to complete weapons. And missile design demands our best effort to get top performance and maximum efficiency. Here’s your chance to educate our missiles, applying latest techniques and newest devices in plants equipped to build components and complete systems without sub-contracting . . . teleme tering, infrared, radar, sonar and many other systems from research through development to manufacturing. The Tl-transistorized telemetering system shown above, in this case more a “talker” than a “thinker,” provides four times the radiated power in a smaller, lighter package than comparable vacuum tube sys tems. Not “frozen” to old design standards, it is almost completely transistorized and is completely electronic with no moving parts ... a typical example of Tl’s policy of advanced systems engineering. At Texas Instruments — in research, development, design, and manufacture — you will push out beyond existing limitations-into new concepts and new products. You can choose from dynamic fields such as electronics, missile control and detection, infrared optics, semiconductor behavior, high speed data reduction, and many others. At TI, this pioneering approach has been so successful the company has IP own 20-fold in the last 10 years to a current $70 million volume ... a growth accelerated by recogni tion of individual achievement... a growth you can share, f Rt openings ELECTRONIC AND ilECTROMECHAN1CAI AP PARATUS — Radar, sonar, infrared, navigation, mag netics, telemetering, communications, computers, transformers. SEMICONDUCTORS AND OTHER COMPONENTS — Transistors, diodes, rectifiers, resistors, and panel instruments.
