THE BATTALION
With a full academic load, and maybe a job on the side,
you need all the time you can find to get what you came for
. . . a college education.
Marine Corps officer programs don’t require on-campus
training. Students enrolled in Platoon Leaders Class receive
their training in the summer, either in two 6-week sessions
or one 10-week session. And you can enroll in PLC as early
as your freshman year, concentrate on your studies and look
forward to serving as an officer of Marines after college
graduation.
Ask a Marine. Talk to Major Pool
who will be in the M.S.C. from 8:30 to
4:00 on the 19th, 20th, & 21st of Nov.
68. He has all the facts on Marine air
and ground officer training, and he’ll
be happy to answer all your questions.
Intramural
Round-Up
The intramural picture:
In Class A basketball, F-l squeezed by E-2 by a single
point, 26-25. E-2 led at the half, 15-14, but Rusk of F-l
scored 7 points to lead his team to victory. The balanced
attack of H-l mashed Squadron 5, 47-23 and Sqd. 8, led by
Parada’s 14 points, downed the Maroon Band, 35-18, for
their second straight win.
Sqd. 11 bombed Sqd. 9, 44-16, for their second straight
win without a loss. Sqd. 14 also remained undefeated with
a 36-19 margin over Sqd. 4.
In Class B football, G-l and D-l fought to a 0-0 tie
before G-l was finally declared the winner by virtue of one
more 40-yard penetration. E-l and A-2 also battled to a 0-0
deadlock with E-l winning that game. G-2 wrapped up the
championship in their league by downing D-2, 6-0.
H-l, the most powerful offensive team in Class B foot
ball, romped to their fourth straight win, 22-0, over H-2
to take their league crown. For the fourth time this year,
they prevented the opposition from crossing midfield. The
White Band upset E-2 for their first victory, 6-0. The
playoffs for Class B will begin after the holidays on Dec. 3.
In Class A handball, the championship was played Mon
day with Sqd. 12 defeating G-l two matches to one. In the
first match, Harding and Campbell of G-l upset Craighead
and Benet.
But Sqd. 12 players, Donaho and Hess won their match
causing the final match which Frost and Fehrle took for
Sqd. 12. Sqd. 12 is now the only team with two champion
ships to their credit. They also took Class A bowling.
The championship for Class C handball between Schu
macher and Law will be played later this week.

In Class B bowling, the regular schedule has been com
pleted and six teams will now advance to the playoffs. The
league champs are: League A- F-2; League B- A-2; League
C- White Band ; League D- Sqd. 7; League E- Sqd. 5 ; League
F- Sqd. 11.
League D finished in a three-way tie but Sqd. 7 will
represent the league by virtue of having the highest pin
total. Sqd. 11 and Sqd. 8 finished with 3-1 records but since
Sqd. 11 had beaten Sqd. 8, they will advance to the finals.
The playoffs will be Dec. 3-5.
Rogers Is AP’s
Back Of The Week
Baylor’s running whiz, Gene
Rogers, would rather switch than
sit on the bench and because of
a change last spring, Rogers was
named Wednesday as The Asso
ciated Press Southwest Confer
ence back of the week.
Rogers spent most of the 1967
season riding the bench as a
substitute flanker. He caught
no passes and he gained no yards
rushing.
Last spring, coach John Bridg-
ers switched Rogers back to run
ning back and everybody’s been
happier since.
The move paid off in bonus
dividends Saturday when Rogers
rushed for 139 yards and scored
three touchdowns to lead the
Bears to a shocking 42-28 victory
over Texas Tech.
THE LOSS knocked Tech out
of a tie for the SWC lead and
probably out of the Cotton Bowl.
Meanwhile over in Little Rock,
Arkansas linebacker Lynn Gar
ner was getting in on 19 tackles
and generally making havoc of
SMU’s fiercesome offense to gain
lineman-of-the-week honor.
Rogers’ performance against
the Red Raiders was rated “by
far his best game of the season”
by Bridgers.
“I thought he was outstanding,
really,” Bridgers said. “He seem
ed to run better as the game
went along. He was running
right up the middle. Why, he
kinda looked like a power runner
and he only weighs something
like 180 pounds.”
Rogers was also pleased with
his performance and the progress
he’s made since making the
switch to running back.
“I’ve improved a lot this sea
son because at the first of the
year, I was a little unsure, but
now I’ve gained a little more con
fidence in myself,” Rogers said.
“AT FIRST, I was hesitant to
go outside because I was afraid
I’d get caught for a loss, but now
I have more confidence that I can
get outside and make a good
cut.”
But Rogers keeps giving most
of the credit to Baylor’s young
but strong line.
“I’ve learned a little from each
game but our line has really
made the difference,” Rogers
said. “I think it is one of the
best in the conference and any
back can run good when he’s
got a good line blocking for
him.”
In addition to his 19 tackles,
Garner caused SMU quarterback
Chuck Hixson to fumble on the
Mustang five-yard line and then
recovered the fumble to set up
Arkansas’ fourth touchdown.
WHILE Garner’s figure was in
delibly marked on SMU through
out the game, Garner himself
suffered a memory lapse in the

We happen to be involved in one of
the fastest growing fields in the world.
Communications.
And because we also happen to be
growing right along with it, we need people
who can think for themselves when they
are handed responsibility, not become con
fused by it.
Individuals. The kind of people to
whom a challenge is a goad, not an excuse.
Who won’t be content to just sit around
until they get a gold watch and a pension.
There’s a lot to be done. Interesting,
provocative work for almost every kind of
engineer and scientist.
For example, in our Applied Research
Laboratory, the newest sectors of theo
retical and applied research in the areas : of
mathematics, physics, computer systems,
electro-optics, information systems, and
operations studies are explored.
Whether you lean toward designing
electronic switching systems for our tele
phone companies or the development of
electroluminescent devices for Sylvania,
we think we have a place for you.
On one condition.
That there are no strings attached.
