How high can you go
IN THE U. S. AIR FORCE?
V ..
The ceiling's unlimited! Men who enter the
Air Force as Aviation Cadets become 2nd
Lieutenants within a year. From there on, they
can climb as far and as fast as their ability and
the needs of the service permit; Under the Air
Force expansion program, there is plenty of
room for advancement. 2nd Lieutenants auto-
matically become 1st Lieutenants after three
years of service; are eligible to become Cap-
tains, Majors and Lieutenant Colonels after 7,
14 and 21 years respectively. More rapid pro-
motions are frequent. Never before has the
opportunity for making the Air Force a perma-
nent career been so favorable, especially to
the men in Aviation Cadet Pilot Training.
S
Here are the requirements:
Appointment to the Aviation Cadets is open to single men, between
20 and 26!'2 years old, wh<j have completed two years of college
(or can pass an equivalent examination). Upon graduation, Cadets
receive their wings and commission, a $250 uniform allowance,
and three-year active duty assignment with pay up to $336 a
month. Get full details at any Air Force Base or eft any U. S. Army
and U. S. Air Force Recruiting Station.

meet last year was won at a height
of twelve feet.
Among the other promising track-
sters are "Red" Howton, Plainview's
fine high hurdler; Tommy Graham,
a top-notch sprinter from Lamar;
John Trevathan, Corpus Christi's
A A quarter mile champ; Doyle Mac-
Arthur, the Milby lad who distances
the quarter mile in fifty flat; Ted
Riggs, Pearsall's 100 yard dash sen-
sation; big Ted Watson, the Corpus

Jeff Davis; Ralph Grawunder, Rea-

mond boosters are apt to be seeing
quite a bit of Richard Leeder, Com-
fort's pitching ace; William Goli-

GASOLINE
Guessers Crawl
On Limb With
Tarheel Choice
by Miller and Martin
Now that we have finished pat-
ting ourselves on our respective
backs, your fearless pigskin prog-
nosticators, Howard Martin and Da-
vid Miller, will now take a crack at
this week's games, hopirtg to repeat
last week's performance.
Last week, whether you know it
or not, we hit four for four, and
only missed Texas' 33-0 win over
LSU by one point (we said 34-0).
However, this week we will find out
whether that was a flash in the pan
or the real McCoy; so without fur-
ther ado, here goes:
Rice versus Sam Houston State.
Injuries or no, Neely will be able to
pick his score in this one. We'll
pick a conservative 34-7 count.
Texas A. & M. versus Texas Tech.
The Aggies will bounce back from
that Villanova defeat and dampen
Tech's hopes of entering the Con-
ference. Say, 20-7.
• Southern Methodist versus Pitts-
burgh. Veteran Eastern observers
will be reminded of Notre Dame's
Four Horsemen at the Ponies' Wal-
ker, Rote, Page, and McKissack
romp to a 34-13 triumph.
Texas Christian versus Oklahoma
A. & M. A toughie. The Frogs were
a bit disappointing last week, and
the Cowboys have Jim Spavital; but,
we'll still string along with TCU.
It will be close: 14-7.
Arkansas versus East Texas. If
the Lions still had Cargo Batchelor,
they might give Arkansas a strug-
gle; however, Batchelor is playing
for the Professionals. So, the Por-
kers will have another breeze. Let's
pick a score of 33-6.
Baylor versus Tulsa. This is the
opener for both and could go either
way. Both are loaded with lettermen
(Baylor 29, Tulsa 25) from last
year when Baylor won, 7-6. The
Bears get 'em in Waco, and Henry
Dickerson is still around to kick
extra points. So, we'll pick a dupli-
cate, Baylor, 7-6.
Texas versus North Carolina.
Texas didn't let us down last week;
but, the Tarheels will be gunning
for them. Dick Harris' injury forces
us to crawl out on the limb and pick
North Carolina, 14-13.
