to particular local conditions enrolled
in the Army Enlisted Reserve Corps ?
A. Yes it will absorb most of
them as well as dental und medical
students who hold probationary com-
missions. Q. How much training will be
given men called up and where?

receive one and one-third years of
studies at colleges and unlvctsltles
under contract to the Navy Depart-
ment divided into four terms of 16
weeks each.

courses leading to specialized duties
such as chaplains and medical den-
tal and enginerlng corps officer can-
didates? A. Their courses will vary from
six to 12 terms.

cribed college work is completed?

rollcc have at one of the selected col-
leges ?

McAdoo Keaton
Coach McAdoo Keaton a member
of the Howard Payne faculty for
fourteen years ended one of the most
brilliant coaching careers in the State
of Texas Monday when he was re-
leased by the college to take a posi-
tion as supervisor of the physical
education program In Brownwood
Public Schools and coach of athletics
at Brownwood High.
Cjach Keaton came to Howard
Payne in 1928 as line coach and for
seven years served in that capacity
under Head Coach Joe Bailey Chea-
ney. For the past eight years he has
been the head mentor of the athletic
program. In these eight years his
football teams have won five Texas
Conference titles shared in one three
way tie and runner-up once.
Only when It seemed that lit was
impossible that college athletics could
continue did Coach Keaton consider
the acceptation of the high school
position. In regard to the further
sports program at Howard Payne
College Business Manager J. H Shel
ton stated that "Howard Payne does
not want to give up intercollegiate
athletics and never has but the
Army Navy and Marines have set-
tled that question for us. They have
tnken so many of our boys and will
likely take so many more before next
season that it will just be impossible
for us to continue to make a schedule
In football." We certainly hate to
have to give up our extensive sports
program and hate to see Coach Kea-
on go" Shelton said "but there's no
doubt that he can b cused to a great-
er advantage at Brownwood High for
'he duration. For certainly only the
high schools will have football teams
cxt year."
"Assistnnt Coach Barney Hale will
continue with the college's program
for the remainder of the year in-
structing physical education classes
etc. but as for the future we will
just have to wait and watch" Mr.
"helton said. "However we plan to
continue as long ns possible."
Taking up his work at Brownwood
High th's week Coach Keaton called
a meeting of all the Lion ntblctcs to
get to work on the track training for
the coming season. When asked the
date ho expected to start track work
outs Keaton replied "I hope to get
started this week but It may take all
his week for my nerves to settlo
down after those two basketball
games last week at Abllenne." Tho
Jackets won both games by small mar-
gains and had to come from behind
both times.
In a statement recently Coach
Keaton said "I have appeciated tho
loyalty of tho Howard Payne fans to
tho college athletic program through
tho past years and hope that I can
continue to have their support and
cooperation out nt Brownwood High.
I don't wont the people to think that
the Brownwood High School board is
hiring me out from under tho col
lege" he said "for they are not. It
will just be Impossible to continue
with college athletics in 1943 and I
feel that there has never been a time
when bo much emphasis needed to be
placed on competitive sports as at
the present time"
"I feel" he said "that I can con-
tribute more toward tho national war
effort by getting these youngsters in
better physical condition for what
must Inevitably face in the Army
Navy Marines and Air Corps.
Just when spring football workouts
at Brownwood High will start is not
