Betwee#t .11aloa By Bill Porker James Ron Callahan, Texas Tech's great triple-threat left half-back from Wink, was certainly a surprised boy when he received noice to report to naval headquarters in Dal- last immediately. Callahan gave up a $20.00-per day job in the New Mexico oil fields and tore out for Dallas, but he did find time to come by the Tech gymnasium and tell everybody "hello" and "good-bye". You wonder why Callahan was surprised by the call; Well here is a few lines from a high naval officer to Callahan. Can't mention the writer's name but here's a paragraph from the letter: "I have checked on your case, and unofficially the boys tell me that it will be six or eight months before we call you to active duty with the United States Naval Service." Due to that one paragraph, Callahan had planed to play football this season for the Red Raiders but when he received the call he just smiled and said he was going to play football but against different kinds of opponents. Don't worry about Callahan, he was glad to be called and he will be a triple-threat star wherever the Navy places him. Don Austin, who played three years of right halfback for the scarlet and black, was working in the same oil field with Callahan and got his notice to report to Dallas' navy division at the same minute Callahan got his. So they left Lubbock together, and here's a big hope that the former Tech backfield performers will go along together during the war. . .because that is their wish. There's a couple of boys in scarlet and black uniforms tonight that you should keep your eyes on. Both are from Monument, New Mexko and they are Donald Earl Grove and Delbert Earl Cooper. About the middle of summer these two boys wolked into the Tech gymnasium and asked for Coach Dell Morgan. Morgan lifted himself from his comfortable chair and explained he was Coach Mor gan. Cooper and Grove grinned, stuck out their hands to Morgan and Grove said: "Coach Morgan we have decided to play football at Tech this coming season. We just hitch-hiked over to hear what you thought about us playing here." Morgan inquired of Donald Grove about his age, height and weight. Grove said: "I am 16-years-old, I am 6-feet, 5-inches. I weigh 195-pounds and can play tackle or en Turning to Cooper, Morgan inquired about about him. Cooper replied: "I am 16-years-old. I am 6-feet, two-inches and weigh 186-pounds. I can play end or halfback." Morgan looked at the boys a few minutes and said: "Come on fellows I want to buy you both a lunch." Now when Delicate Dell Morgan flatly buys anybody a lunch he must really believe in them like he does Cooper and Grove. One of the most promising prospects is Ed Robertson of Post. Ed is another who just walked into the gymnasium and introduced himself to Morgan: "I just graduated from Post High School and am ready to be a Red Raider", smiled Robertson." Morgan smiled, grabbed Robertson's hand and said: "Robertson, I was wondering about you yesterday and was going to write you a letter about coming to Texas Tech." Robertson eyes twinkled because he knew that Morgan had never heard of Ed Robertson, but it was O. K. with Morgan. He boughs another lunch. Texas Tech's next football battle will be at Oklahoma City on Taft field against the Oklahoma A. and M. Aggies. It will be played on Friday night, September 24th. If you desire to send the boys a telegram wishing them luck, they will be quartered at the Biltmore Hotel. After the Game e Caviare ,DRUG You Can Get It At POWERS Sporting Goods Golf, Tennis.

G. FENNELL, Manager On Thursday, August 26th, the 1943 Texas Tech football outlook received a serious set-back when popular J. R. Callahan was called into naval Service. Callahan was planning cn a banner year with his running, kicking and passing not to mention his great blocking. From a letter he received from a high navy official, he did not expect to be called for seven or eight months, but the navy decided they needed him in a hurry in mid-August and he resigned from a $20 a-day oil job to put on a uniform. He wore an ear to ear smile when he shook hands with Dell Morgan in a good-bye. tal TECH DRUG Were For Two Strong Lines TEXAS TECH and TECH DRUG Watch The Two Teams Play 1108 Broadway Phone 611 Headquarters For Tech Students •11•1•11•1•11•1.11•11.1.1.1,,,,•1•11•11•1,."..,,,• Col.

Billy admits he is shivering from thinking about going against the Red on November 6th when Tech plays the Horned Frogs at Fort Worth. The Texas Tech boys plan to play Billie clean and hard but also plan to give him a lot of kidding during the game. Billy is in the naval training at Texas Christian.
