each week to the three soldiers
who write winning letters asking
for favorite songs to be played on

is the writer’s favorite should be

Soldiers selected from the stu-

song title.

But such was the experience
of T-Sgt. Warren W. Lee, of the
staff of 12th Armored Group
Headquarters, in Denton last Sat-
urday night. But it’s an experi-
ence he often encounters.
Sgt. Lee, passing . one of Den-
ton’s theatres, mentioned, casual-
like, to his friends: “Here’s a job
I did almost two years ago.” The
friends looked, and there were a
couple huge “Merry Melodies”
posters, which he had drawn for
Warner Brothers.

; 12th Armored
Turret-Types
; By T-5 KEN EARL
The enlisted men of Hq. and
Hq. Co., 12th Armored Group, are
still wondering whether the pres-
ence of their Chaplain, Capt. Ste-
phen W. Balogh, at the Officers-
EM volley ball game last Friday
night, didn’t have an uplifting ef-
fect on the entire affair.
Chaplain Balogh was selected
as the whistle-tooting umpire of
the match, and, according to
stories originating from “neutral”
EM sources, he failed to live up
to their expectations of an offi-
ciating umpire-Chaplain in the
first set-to of the 3-game series.
Maybe that was because the Of-
ficers topped the score, at 21-16.
Lt. Col. Thomas W. Roane, Com-
manding Officer, as Chief Um-
pire, and T-Sgt. Warren Lee, rep-
resenting the EM, kept an eye on
the Chaplain.
But something happened in the
following two contests. What, no-
body seems to be able to figure
out. In true Democracy style,
each outfit, putting heart and
soul into their playing, staged a
nip ’n’ tuck race. With two Lt.

The University of North Caro-
lina has sent its third football
coach into the services. He is Tom
Young, acting head each at
Chapel Hill last fall, who recent-
ly passed his physical at Camp
Croft, S. C. Preceding Young
into the service were Lt. Ray
Wolf USNR, head coach in 1941/
and Lt. Jim Tatum, USNR, head
coach the following year. Young
was backfield coach under Wolf
and Tatum.
Colonels, a Major, Captain and
two Lieutenants comprising the
officers’ line-up, they entered
into the spirit of the game like
sports-pros. Amid the shouts and
toots of Chaplain Balogh, the en-
thusiasm of the on-looking crowd,
and the rising score in favor of
the officers, everyone suddenly
came to the realization the lead
was being taken by the EM. Re-
sult, Second game, EM 21, Of-
ficers 15. The same thing oc-
curred in the final match. The
crowd was dazed: so were the
EM—they won, 21-17, and with
it came the crown.
Following the game, Officers
were the guests of the EM at
their dinner party. With Sgt. Al-
fred West acting as master of
ceremonies, after-dinner speeches
revealed a thickening of the plot.
This might have explained why
Chaplain Balogh occupied a seat

mad,” Ed said.
Sgt. Dolph’s hat is in the ring
for the Man of the Year for 1944.
When he let the whole organiza-
tion sleep late Tuesday morning,
he assured himself of a lot of
votes.
There were a lot of barking
dogs in the outfit last week fol-
lowing the big hike. Pop Camp-
bell, an ardent rebel, got so mad
he almost walked home by him-
self, just because somebody asked
him if Texas was attached to the
United States for rations and
quarters.
Now that the old-timers in the
outfit are back from school, the
air is full of talk about the big
things they did while they were
there. Most of the fellows who
didn’t go won’t believe they fol-
lowed as rigorous a schedule as
claimed.
Congratulations! It’s Captain
McWilliams, now.

“Brother” Green, ‘topkick’ of Dis-
pensary, is in the market for
wedding rings, we understand.
Let’s hope you make it official,
Sgt. . .. After another trip AWOL
“Retreat” has turned up again.
This time with a Section VIII
limp, cause undisclosed. For the
time being, the Detachment mas-
cot will have to be content with
clambering around on desks and
chairs instead of seeking the
higher elevation of the beams
along the ceiling of the orderly
room. . . . For the information
of his buddies, we would like to
point out that Cpl. Paul Landry
cuts quite a dashing figure in a
size 40 woman’s dress. He’s really
the life of the party! . . This week
the figure points out a S-Sgt.
whom we are told is in a fair
way to become ‘one who walks
alone.” By reason of a penchant
for extremely youthful femmes,
he is fast scaring off the compan-
ionship of his erstwhile compan-
ions from the detachment. They
are afraid of the results of the
sergeant’s return to childhood.
You’ll never get to Cal that way,
lad .... Here’s one that vze give
