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.

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.

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.
