Class A gridron honors in Montana S
interscholastic football race, meet the
hefty, husky Crimson Bengals Of Hell

ference contenders.
The game will give Butte and Helena
fans an opportunity OF comparing
coaching systems used by Big Ed"
Simonich, Maroon mentor via Notre
Dame, who specializes in the rapid-fire,
elusive "T" formation, and Lloyd Skor
OF Helena, who used double wing
back, which concentrates on power
plays interspersed with rapier-like
thrusts via the aerial route.

ingston, strong Class A team, were
scheduled to play Billings last week

the infantile paralysis quarantine in

the Missoula and Livingston games in

fact that their game was cancelled last
week end, the Bengals will be mighty
tough come Friday night
Centrals Maroons have been work
ing on several new plays during the
last week which they will use in the
Helena contest. Fans who watched
Central in action against Havre were
impressed with the machine-lille man
ner in which the Maroons perform the
intricate, speedy 1T" formation and are
looking forward to a real battle when
the Simonich-coached gridders meet the
husky Bengals.

UNITED STATES NAVY
MAKES AWARD
AT SCHOOL OF MINES

Formal presentation of the Cert fl
cate OF Appreciation by the United
States Navy to Montana School of
Mines will be held in Museum hall be-
ginning at Il 20 a. M Friday, October
no. according to Lieut. Irving g. Viii
liams, commanding the N-l2 unit at the
school The two platoons OF the N-l2
group at the school will compete in a
football game Saturday afternoon, Oc-
tober l3, on Leonard field and will hold
their last formal social event that eve
ming with a Bluejacket ball in the gym
nasium
These activities will bring to close
on October 81 the Nays activities at
Montana School of Mines. They started
here July, 1943, and took over the Mines
school This fall, with returning serv-
cemen registering, the formal collegiate
year was resumed on September "a with
good representation of the armed
services including a lieutenant COM
mander in the Navy. an Army air corps
captain and many others, representing
all ranks and branches of the service.
For the benefit of returning service
men, registration will be continued at
Montana School OF Mines, permitting
these men to enter the school at any
time, President Francis A. Thomson
said, and added
For The first time nour history
we shall strive to admit returning stu
dents whenever they report, whether the
beginning OF a semester or otherwise"
Returning serycemen who did not
complete high school when they went in
the service pose question of great
importance to the School Of Mines and
in fairness to these young men we are
considering providing sub freshmen
courses. 1t is believed that a returning
serviceman will feel that he is too ma
ture to return to high school and we
hope to give him preparatory work, in
a college environment among other vet
erans which he missed by serving his
country
In brief, the &c. J. Bill OF Rights"
gives the honorably discharged service
man a living allowance of $50 month
for single men and SIS month for
married men, with the government pay
ing all costs Of tuition and textbooks
up to a total OF $500 year. The time
available in the Montana School OF
Mines to each returning veteran is
equal to his length Of service, plus one
year for the first 90 days in service.
The United States Armed Forces In
sttute is also providing correspondence
work in all subjects not requiring lab
oratory work offered by Montana
School Of Mines. Details on the corre-
spondence courses are being handled by
w. Milton Brown, registrar, and with
the company commanders of the pro-
spective students interested.

that baseball fans will be jabbering
about for years to come. The triumph,
achieved after two were out in the 18th

No Chance to Catch
Then he sent a sharp liner to left.
Greenberg had no chance for a catch,
but charged in for a possible throw
to head off Sehuster at third. As he
did so the ball went over his shoulder
and rolled on the wall while Schuster
tore home with the winning run.
Immediately after Hacks hit had been
ruled a single, and Greenberg charged
with an error for not halting the bounce,
a controversy arose The head scorer
of three later took poll Of reporters
and players and the Hack shot may
eventually wind up as an extra base
hit for Hack and no error for Green
