Aggie Tales Of Yesteryear
Jarrin’ John Kimbrough
Stars In Western Movie
By MIKE BERRY
Battalion Staff Writer
The excitement at the old Kir
by Theater in Houston the night
of Dec. 2, 1941, was of a specially
exhilirating brand — the kind
that accompanies the premier of
a long awaited picture.
The leading man was John
Kimbrough.
“Jarrin’ John” or “Big John”,
one of the greatest backs to come
from the Southwest Conference,
had helped Coach Homer Nor
ton’s Aggie team to a national
championship in 1939 and won a
place on the All-America teams
of 1939 and 1940.
He had now set out to conquer
Hollywood.
The theater was filled to capa
city with the fans who had come
to see their hero. A review in
Officials T o Attend
Civil Defense Meet
Five officials from Brazos
County will attend the sixth an
nual state conference for civil
defense directors in Austin Mon
day and Tuesday.
County Judge W. C. Davis,
county Civil Defense Director
Jake Canglose, College Station
City Manager Ran Boswell, Col
lege Station and Texas A&M
CD Director John W. Hill and
Henry Alsmeyer Sr., civil defense
administrator, will attend the
Texas State Office of Defense
and Disaster Relief meeting.
Gen. Earle G. Wheeler, chair
man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
will conduct the first session, dis
cussing “An Estimate of The
World Situation.”
Other sessions will approach
civil defense from various angles,
including the program from a
city manager’s and county judge’s
viewpoint.
Oceanography Grant
Renewed By NSF
A $38,800 National Science
Foundation grant renewal to Tex
as A&M oceanographers for pro
ductivity research in the Ant
arctic Ocean has been announced
by Dr. S. Z. El-Sayed.
The extension sends research
projects by El-Sayed and Lela
Jeffrey, now on a cruise in the
Drake Passage, into its fifth
year. El-Sayed and Jeffrey are in
the Department of Oceanography
and Meteorology.
Renewal of the grant also ex
pands his research. El-Sayed’s
studies now will encompass phy-
loplankton and zooplankton. Pre
vious work in the sea off Antarc
tica between Chile and New Zea
land has been completed. He
said research has begun in the
Pacific sector of the Antarctic.
The $38,800 grant is in addition
to $39,300 announced in April,
1965, bringing the total for the
two-year period to $78,100.
Miss Jeffrey studies organic
compounds of seawater.
The Battalion described the
scene.
“Humanity poured through the
doors until officials were forced
to hang out the “standing room
only” sign. Unusual but not un
expected was the fact that a
great number of the audience
were boys and girls of high school
age. However, the audience was
composed mainly of sports ad
dicts.”
The fans had come to see Kim-
Training Expert
Says Craftsmen
Badly Needed
Skilled craftsmen without col
lege degrees are missing good
teaching opportunities in Texas
schools, a teacher-training expert
has revealed.
“Last year, Texas schools could
not meet demands for courses in
vocational industrial education,”
B. M. Hackney, head of the A&M
Engineering Extension Service
Teacher Training Division, said.
“One of many reasons for this
shortcoming,” Hackney noted, “is
due to lack of qualified crafts
men entering teaching. Many
craftsmen who would like to
teach are unaware that they may
be qualified already.”
Hackney cited these qualifica
tions for vocational industrial
teacher trainers: high school
graduates with two years post-
high school education — plus five
years full-time working experi
ence in the vocation he will teach,
or a college degree and three
years experiences in the field he
will teach.
“A f t e r the craftsman has
taught a year in VI programs,”
Hackney continued, “He must
take 12 college hours of teacher
training.”
The teacher trainer emphasiz
ed the mushrooming need for
teachers.
“School officials will be look
ing for craftsmen in July and
August to teach auto mechanics,
refrigeration, machine shop op
eration, carpentry, electricity,
cosmetology, radio and television
servicing, sheet metal, drafting,
welding, auto painting and body
repair, and mill cabinet making,”
Hackney said.

brough perform as 4 cowboy turn
ed Texas Ranger in 2ane Grey’s
“The Lone Star Ranger.”
“Those same fans gave ‘Big
John’ a hig hand when he made his
personal appearance on the stage
before the show started. Proof
of John’s ability to act was of
fered when he took the master of
ceremony duties when that gen
tleman fumbled his lines,” The
Battalion reported.
The movie itself would have
been disappointing — if it had
been taken seriously — but it
wasn’t. The presence of every
body’s All-America was enough
to make even a grade B picture
palatable.
The errors in the film were
patently obvious: the conflict
ing time element, a line of tele
phone poles in a scene of the Bad
lands in 1830, and the improbable
occurrence of John and his lead
ing lady, Sheila Ryan, being
thrown into a river, emerging
soaking wet, and then having
Kimbrough appear in a dry,
freshly pressed outfit a minute
later.
“But,” concluded The Bat
talion, “for all the handicaps, in
cluding a weak cast to support
him, Kimbrough does give a
creditable performance. True, he
gives some of his lines as though
he was reading them to a six-
year-old child, but there are
flashes of acting ability which
seem to indicate that better treat
ment in later productions will
erase the amateurish taste of his
first year.”
But there was no later produc
tions. “The Lone Star Ranger”
was the final, curious footnote to
John Kimbrough’s public career.
