Norton Loses
Lots O’ Players
To Armed Forces
Special To The Herald
COLLEGE STATION, July 29.—
Back on August fi, 1940, Coach
llomcr Norton, head man of ath-
letics at Texas A. & M. College,
made n remurk that is becoming
more significant every day.
Interviewed by Frank Tolbert,
sports writer for tho Fort Worth
Star-Telegram, at the high school
nil-star game in Austin that year,
Norton discussed the possibilities
of his players being called to ser-
vice before they finished their eligi-
bility and said, “I’m not worrying
about this conscription business. If
such an emergency develops that
my boys arc needed, then football
will become very unimportant to
me.”
Since that time Norton has seen
somewhat of n parade of depart-
ures for military and naval ser-
vice. Men counted upon for the two
campaigns since have left for the
army or navy and now four of his
coaching staff have gone off to the
wars.
First to leave after the 1941 sea-
son ended were Leonard Dickey,
tackle, and Dennis Andrieks, full-
back. Both were lettermcn and fig-
ured to pluy a lot of football this
year. At the end of the regular
school year Bob Tulios, only letter-
man tackle left, resigned from
school to join the fighting forces.
Since then Tom Pickett, letterman
wingback, has enlisted.
Freshman co-coach Charlie De-
Ware volunteered and at last re-
ports was in the infantry as a priv-
ate at Camp Wolters. Backfield
Coach Marty Karow was commis-
sioned a lieutenant in the U. S.
Navy and then End Coach J. W.
(Dough) Rollins was recalled to ac-
tive duty ns a captain of infantry.
On his heels went Colonel Frank
Anderson, golf and cross country
coach who was figured upon to take
over the track team left by Captain
Rollins.
And if that was not enough Utay
Hall, the dormitory assigned to the
athletes, was turned over to house
the Navy personnel assigned to the
college for training. All of the Ag-
gie athletes have gone back to their
respective companies, batteries or
troops and now are scattered all
over the campus instead of being
grouped in the one hall.
Since that interview the Aggies
have won another conference cham-
pionship and shared the title with
S. M. U. and of the graduates a
total of twenty-seven have gone
into the service as commissioned of-
ficers in the army or navy.

SELF-CLEANING
HOUSE PAINT
developed by DU PONT
1;—
T\UPONT House Paint keeps
sJ white houses uhiu, because
this brilliantly white paint is
1 ‘self-cleaning’. ”,It forms a tough'
durable film which protects the
surface from rust, rot, or decay.
Like all paints, it collects dirt on
exposure to the elements. As time
goes on, however, a fine white
powder forms/m the surface of
this new paint. This powder is
washed away by heavy rains, «.
carrying the dirt with it and*
exposing a fresh white surface.
This self-cleaning process starts
after a few months of^exposure
under normal conditions of wea-
ther, but may be delayed under
unusual dirt-collectixg condi-
tions such as found in sooty in-
dustrial areas. Because the“sclf-
cleaning” process is gradual, tho
wearing qualities of'-the paint
film are not abnormally affected.
