THE PUP TENT No. 6 NEW MEXICO MILITARY INSTITUTE, ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO November 18, 1930 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Broncos Defeat Canyon Score of 27-6 CHOOSING YOUR VOCATION ENGINEERING By Ll. Col. E. L. Lusk Engineering has been defined as the science and art of utilizing the forces and materials of nature. Anciently it was divided into two branches known as civil and military. The military engineer had for his mission the u.se and application of his tech­nical knowledge to further the aims of the main bodies of troops. The civil engineer had for his work the design and construction of all works in­tended for the comfort of man and the improve­ment of the country either by beautifying it or add­ing to its yield. Construction falls easily into two classes of works, i. e., movable and immovable. Engineers engaged in the construction of movable works are usually referred to as mechanical engineers. Other subdivisions suggest ihemselvest; a man engaged in changing the composition of the materials of nature is a chemical engineer, while one engaged in the transformation of energy is usually called an electrical engineer. As our civilization grows more and more complex the phases of work that Jd UUkuiwriif prjLoL^iwu- rjuiflipLy rmtil. we^|yivi4, as many kinds of engineers as there are fields of specialization.

Some of the designations taken from current college catalogs are heat and refrig­eration, aeronautical, fire protection, marine, struc­tural, highway, mining, automotive. All of these have for their object the economical “utilization of the forces and materials of nature for the comfort of man.” The training of an engineer is based on a thoro knowledge of the natural sciences together with a sufficient proficiency in mathematics to enable him to measure the amount and effect of the natural material and forces that he seeks to utilize. He must know how to harness these in such a manner that useful work is done as, for instance, in chang­ing the energy of a W'ater fall into electricity, or he may desire to prevent the action of natural forces as in the neutralization of flood action by storing excess water for irrigation. Besides this essential knowledg<s he must be able to pass his ideas and decisions on to the men by whose hands the actual work is done, which requires language ability of the highest order. It is often only by the aid of extensive and elaborate drawings that the engineer is able to make himself understood. His training must therefore give him the ability to express himself in clear concise spoken language and a knowledge of conventional drawing.

done, which requires language ability of the highest order. It is often only by the aid of extensive and elaborate drawings that the engineer is able to make himself understood. His training must therefore give him the ability to express himself in clear concise spoken language and a knowledge of conventional drawing. Technical studies are usually begun at the end of the second college year, but the young man is fortunate who can devote more than two years of college to preparation for specialization in his chosen field. He will find a knowledge of the principles of economics, accounting, psychology; and foreign language very desirable. These give him a versatility and consequent opportunity not shared by the man who forges ahead to the B. S. degree in four years after leaving high school. Ordinarily the junior college graduate should spend three years in technical school or university before beginning his professional career.

re of 44 to 7. The game was played on the Cadets gridiron last Sat­urday, November 15, with a strong wind prevail­ing. A safety early in the first quarter started the scoring for the Cadets. They received the ball on their own five yard line and after three useless plays, Arthur Foley punted out to the Frosh 20- yard. The Picadors were thrown for a loss on the first play and on the next play Nicholls missed a pass from center and was downed behind his own goal line for a safety. In the remaining portion of the first period the Picadors after several plays were penalized 25 yards for rough playing thus placing the ball on their own two-yard line. Di-nelli after two attempts plunged over for a touch­down and M. Foley converted making the score 9 to 0. An 80-yard broken field run by Arthur Foley was the feature of the second quarter. During the (Continued on Page 4) Polo Team Loses to Oklahoma polo team composed of new men took the-' field against the University of Oklahoma on Nov­ember 7 and 9. Though the Institute lost both games by a small margin, one definite conclusion can be drawn: that the team in rounding into winn­ing shape, in spite of the gap left by the departure of last year’s players. In the first game, Carrillo made one goal. War­ing two, Thompson one, and McKenzie one. In the second game the score stood 7-1 at the end of the fifth period. In the sixth period.

In the second game the score stood 7-1 at the end of the fifth period. In the sixth period. War­ing started a rally which continued until the final gong sounded. Four goals were made in the last period, showing that the team was fitted to meet its opponents in the future, lacking only a little experience in stick work. The next games will take place at Thanksgiv­ing, when the Institute meets Arizona. This pro­mises to be an interesting exhibition. h te RIFLE CLUB ORGANIZED Lt. Mitchell called a meeting of all men inter­ested in gallery rifle shooting last week, and told those present of the plans made for a Rifle Club in the school. It is planned that all boys under 19 years of age will pay five dollars, and all boys over 19 years will pay eight dollars, for member­ship in the National Rifle Association, with privi­leges to buy Government rifles and ammunition at a greatly reduced cost. ‘The boys under 19 will be classed as ‘‘Junior Members,” while those over 19 will be “Annual Members.” The Rifle Team has lost most of its old mem­bers. And, for that reason, in the next few months there will be many vacancies to be filled from new material. The matches of importance that will be fired this year are as follows: 8th Corps Area, Nat­ional Corps Area, National Military Schools match, and the Hearst Match. Probably some weekly matches with other schools will also be entered.

Brilliant Aerial Attack Spells Defeat for Strong Buffaloes The New Mexico Military Institute squad suc­ceeded in overcoming their old time rivals, the Canyon Buffaloes, by a 27 to 6 score on Saturday, November 8. A brilliant aerial attack was feat­ured by two sensational passes, both from A. Foley to “Eugy” Graham, which were good for 65 and 60 yards respectively. The victory was not achieved without strong resistance from the Buffs, and the ever fighting Cadet linesmen entering for their share in the honors. Twice during the first half the Cadet line showed its power by stopping the onslaught of the Buffaloes on the soldier’s one yard line. In the first quarter the Canyon aggregation took the ball on their own forty-yard line and marched to the two yard line where the Broncos turned them back on downs. Arthur Foley surprised the Buffs on a 40-yard run and a first down. Continuing their drive with McCommis, the two Foleys and Dinelli alternating with the ball, the cadets made their first score when Dinelli plunged over the line. Marshall Foley failed to convert. The Buffs gained ground rapidly on line bucks and short passes but lacked the scoring punch.

Marshall Foley failed to convert. The Buffs gained ground rapidly on line bucks and short passes but lacked the scoring punch. In the second quarter the game continued with little advantage to either side within the two yard zone again. McCommis started the third period by return­ing the kick off 35 yards. On a twelve yard run A. Foley made a first down followed by McCom­mis. The ball was then carried to the 20-yard line but the Cadets lost 15 yards on penalties. A-Foley completed a pass from Marshall which was good for 20 yards. The Broncos failed to make a first down and placed a pass over the goal line. After bucking the line for no gain the Canyon team punted out to Marshall Foley. On the next play A. Foley stepped back to his own 35-yard line, eluded several tacklers, and heaved a 65-yard pass to Graham who trotted two yards for the sec­ond touchdown of the game. The Foley com­bination was again used and Marshall passed to Arthur who raced 60 yards for another touchdown but the play was called back and the Cadets pen­alized. Undaunted the Broncos returned with an­other pass from A. Foley to Marshall Foley good for 18 yards and a first down. Then Arthur again proved his exceptional passing ability when he liurled the ball 60 yards to the awaiting arms of Graharn for another score. The Canyon defense went down under this rain of process.

The Buffs were unable to gain on the kick off. A pass was intercepted and in the next play Mc­Commis went around left end for 28 yards placing the ball on the 20-yard line where the Cadets were penalized 15 yards for holding. As the Buff sec­ondary defense drew a halt to the line play the cadets again made use of their overhead attack. Marshall Foley placed one into the hands of Mc­Commis for 35 yard and another touchdown. This ended the period of scoring for the cadets. Mar­shall Foley made good all three placements for the last three touchdowns. On the next play Dinelli intercepted a pass and carried the ball 25 yards to the 12-yard line. The Broncos made a first down on the Buff’s two yard line but were held for downs.
