company's powerful quintet
bounced back into the win column
last night, routing the Field House
48 to 25. After a slow first half
which found the Smithmen with
a substantial 18 to 6 lead, the win
ners opened up in the second
stanza to score 30 points and rack
un their first league triumph.
lidway thru the first period the
Coinpany C men held an 8 to 2 ad
vantage, both teams playing
father sloppy ball in the begin
ning. 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

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.

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.
MILDER BETTER TASTE
There's no busier place than Washington, D.G It's the
control room of America's mighty war machine. And
Chesterfield is the busiest cigarette in town. It's on the
job every minute giving smokers what they want. Its
Milder, Cooler, Better Taste makes it the capital smoke.
You can't beat Chesterfield's Right Combination of the
world's best cigarette tobaccos for real smoking pleasure.
Make your next pack Chesterfield . . . You can't buy a
better cigarette.
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!
