Milt Dobrer and Ev Par menter sparked the blues offense, working fast breaks effectively, and dropping in set shots consis tently too. Dobrer led the eve ning's scoring with 22 points, 8 of them coming via the free throw route. Parmenter, speedy "C" for ward came thru with an even doz en, and was a consistent thorn in the side of the Engineers on de fense. Field Housemen Fight Hard. The Field Houseman never got going, and, despite the efforts o Maekling, Miles, and Casson, they were simply out-played by the fighting A&l-Dent aggregation. They fought hard to close up the gap in the opening minutes of the second half, but found every field goal matched by the alert C men. "C" Defense Strong. On defense, the winners proved very strong keeping Lieutenant Schaffer's five from getting in for close shots, and Burstein and Lind were bulwark's getting the ball -r i s-Vos Can' Deaf Their 2) off of the backboards and out to Dobrer of Parmenter. The Field House's zone was no puzzle to Lt. Smith's team. When their set shots drew the third battalion men out, they worked the ball in for easy lay-ups. They used a fast break which often caught the Schaffer men before they had set up their defense. Lind contributed 6 points to Company C's total, Calkins 4, and Burstein and Peterson each tossed in a field goal. 70 ASTs Chosen For Male Chorus From meager beginnings in the form of informal song-fests after study hall has developed the AST Male Chorus.

The chapel service will be one hour long Jackson Jives With Hep 'LilQalatColiseumHop By Gerry Larson I dressed up in my sharpest clothes and walked over to the coliseum last night where a dance was being held. I was very enthu siastic about the whole thing, since I hadn't been to a hop in a long, long time and my feet were tingling with the idea of dancing a polka or a minuet once more. I presented my membership card to the babe at the door and walked onto the dance floor. Ed die Garner and his boys were hep ping it up with some lively jazz so I began to look around for a little dancing partner. The floor was crowded with boys and girls and every woman in the place seemed to have found herself a man. To clear my mind, and appear nonchalant I went over and had a coke, and stood at the edge of the dance floor watching the couples gliding about. I was becoming increas ingly impatient, and my morale dropped 20 points. Was I not to dance after all? Was it ordained that I coullln't do a minuet to One O'clock, Jump? A Cutie Cuts In Almost immediately as I said this, someone tapped me on the shoulder and I turned quickly, thinking the law had finally caught up to me. Instead it was the most gorgeous morsel of femi nine pulchritude I had seen in 30 minutes. She said in a light, airy voice, "You want to dance, sol dier?" Let me tell you my heart almost jumped out of my mouth. and is the first service of this kind to be presented at Thanksgiving. All service men wishing to attend must sign up at their company bul letin board. Ely Culbertson, bridge expert and author, opened this year's lec ture series on Contemporary So cial Thought at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, with a discussion, on his plan for world peace.

Not only had the girl asked MB for a dance, but she ha1 called me a soldier! Could I ask for anything more? Get Hep, Jackson In true gentlemanly manner, I bowed to her and said in a low, Boyer tone, "Do you mean, let's squirm, worm?" She nodded hap pily, and the next moment we were on the dance floor. If I re call my music rightly, the orches tra was playing Johnson Rag and I immediately put my right foot out, to begin the minuet. But to my great surprise the little one had other ideas and she began to make strange gyrations with her figure. "Are you well?" I asked, thinking she was going into some epileptic fit, and she cried aloud, "Get hep, Jackson!". Hit Hard But Definitely What happened during the Johnson Rag shouldn't happen to John L. Lewis; that little woman was small but she tossed me about that floor as If I were a couple cubic inches of air. She zigged and she zagged, kicking her feet as if she had a hot foot, and all I could do was follow to some small degree her motions. Then she got the idea for me to toss her over my back. "Certainly not," I 'snapped. "What would people say?", so she tossed me over her back, and dammit, that floor was hard! I had never real ized how long it took to play the Johnson Rag. It seemed like an hour at least. Finally however, it came to an end, and the little one helped me over to a seat and wav ing at me gaily walked over to some other poor sucker standing on the sidelines. , After resting up for at least 30 minutes, I summoned up enough strength to stagger back to the barracks, where I fell in bed and counted my bruises. I made a vow that night, I intend to take a full course in Judo, and by Harry, if I ever meet that little ball of fire on the dance floor again, I'll teach her a lesson! k , - - , :J
