Bears have mustered a 1-1 SWC
mark, while the Aggies have com
piled a 3-0 conference record and
are 9-2 for the season. The Aggies’
only two defeats were to the paws
of the Minnesota Gophers.

in three years.
With the win over the Steers,
the Aggies have become the SWC
favorite for the coveted crown.

is tops in football and baseball,
Ronnie Goodwin. As a sophomore
last year, Goodwin wbn the SWC

been a menace to the Aggies in

from the right side.

Sophomores have been the apple
of Chandler's eye this spring and
five have found their way into
the A&M starting lineup, which
excludes the pitchers. Three first-
year hurlers are among Chandler’s
top chunkers.

In days of yordrmsn' feared no! only {fie*^
mortal enemies, but the elements too. It was
the medieval armorer’s task to protect his
chief against foemen, but weather-protection
was a more difficult matter. Thus many 3
knight was spent in rusty armor.
Engineers and scientists at Ford Motor
Company, engaged in both pure and applied
research, are coping even today with the»
problem of body protection (car bodies, that
is). Through greater understanding of tha
chemistry of surfaces, they have developed
new paint primers and undercoatings, new
rustproofing methods, and special sealers
that guard entire car bodies against nature’s
corrosive forces—all of which add armor-lika,’
protection to Ford-built cars.
From other scientific inquiries will undoubf^
edly come new materials with protectiva
properties vastly superior to those of today.'
