Piper, an all-state selection, was an outstanding two-way player who helped lead Coach Gordon Wood’s Lions to the AAA state championship last fall. The 6-0, 175-pounder rushed for an average of 6.4 yards per try and averaged 14 tackles per game. He has 10.2 speed, was the leading scorer on the team, the top defensive hand and pos sibly the most nearly complete football player ever produced at Brownwood. He is president of the student body at Brownwood High. We Really Need USED BOOKS And Are Prepared To Pay For Them Get the most for the least at LOUPOTS “Where Aggies Trade” The best all-around football player in the Texas A&M camp this spring is a young giant who has yet to play a down of col legiate varsity football. He is Maurice (Mo) Moorman, a six-foot, five-inch, 248-pound Kentuckian who’ll be 22 on June 24. Primarily an offensive tackle, he’s also being used at middle guard on defense and likely will be one of the few Aggies to see two-way duty next fall. Moorman was a three-year regular, playing both offensive and defensive tackle, at St. Xavier High in Louisville, Ky. He was all-state three years and high school All-America two years. He played freshman football at the University of Kentucky, spent one semester at the Uni versity of Louisville and then transferred to Texas A&M last summer. Moorman has great body bal ance and quickness for his size. One reason being that he has short legs and a long torso. He wears 36-33 trousers and an 18- 35 shirt size. Moorman credits his high school coach, Johnny Meihaus, with teaching him a lot about football but adds that A&M’s Bud Moore, who was on the Kentucky staff when Mo was a freshman there, “has taught me so very many things about football.” He prefers playing both ways in football because “I just like to play.” If he were limited to one choice he’d pick defense. He doesn’t think he’s had a good spring, especially on of fense. “I’m not as good a block er as I should be. I haven’t im proved the way I think I should have.” The pros already are drooling over him, but he contends he’ll play two years at A&M before signing, even though he’ll be eligible tq sign after next season. “If they want me after next year, I think they’ll still want me after a second season at A&M.” The pros likely will shell out a lot of money to Mo. And, he’ll know what to do with it. You see, his older brother, Dennis, has a master’s degree in finance and is a stock broker in Louisville. He can offer sound monetary ad vice. Here are 7 knotty problems facing the Air Force: can you help us solve one? 1. Repairs in space. If something goes wrong with a vehicle in orbit, how can it be fixed? Answers must be found, if large- scale space operations are to become a reality. For this and other assignments Air Force scientists and engineers will be called on to answer in the next few years, we need the best brains available. 2. Lunar landing. The exact composition of the lunar surface, as well as structural and propulsion char acteristics of the space vehicle, enter into this problem. Important study remains to be done—and, as an Air Force officer, you could be the one to do it! 3. Life-support biology. The filling of metabolic needs over very extended peri ods of time in space is one of the most fascinating subjects that Air Force scientists are in vestigating. The results promise to have vital ram ifications for our life on earth, as well as in outer space. 4. Space orientation. The orbital prob lems of a spacecraft, including its ability to maneuver over selected points on the earth, are of vital importance to the mili tary utilization of space. There are plenty of assignments for young Air Force physi cists in this area. 6. Space propulsion. As our space flights cbver greater and greater distances, pro pulsion—more than any thing else—will become the limiting factor. New fuels * and new propulsion tech niques must be found, if we are to keep on exploring the mysteries of space. And it may well be an Air Force scientist on his first assign ment who makes the big breakthrough! 7. Pilot performance. Important tests must still be made to determine how the pilots of manned aero- spacecraft will react to long periods away from the earth. Of course not every new Air Force officer be comes involved in research and develop ment right away. But where the most ex citing advances are taking place, young Air Force scientists, administrators, pilots, and engineers are on the scene. Want to find out how you fit into the Air Force picture? Contact your nearest Air Force representative, or mail the cou pon today. 5. Synergetic plane changing. The abil ity of a spacecraft to change altitude can also be c'rucial to space operations. Where but in the Air Force could Sc.B.'s get the chance to work on such fascinating proj ects right at the start of their careers? UNITED STATES AIR FORCE Box A, Dept.
