President's Column

MSM Alumni Association

our loyalty to the Missouri School of Mines than to be active, contributing alumni. The response to the 1958 Alumni Fund has been most encouraging. To date we have reached the halfway point in our goal of 2400 contributors. If you are one of those who has contributed , we thank you .

If on the other hand you have not, your MSM Alumni Association needs your participation .

Since the dramatic launching of the first " Sputnik," technological and scientific progress is the ma jor concern of every one. Especially is this true of the Board of Curators of the University of Missouri , who a re the administrators of the School of Mines, at Rolla, and the University, a t Columbia. I am happy to say that these officials have a well established program in building for the future. They understand fully the need for better trained and better qualified engineers and scientific people.

Progress is in the making and one only has to visit the campus or to see what is in the blue print stage to know that projects a re being accomplished.

Today the School of Mines is experiencing the greatest building expansion in its history.

As Alumni of the school, we can be proud of being a part of this progress and our numerous contributions through the Alumni Association will aid in making it a truly great engineering school.

Let me once again remind you that throughout the country we have 19 local alumni groups. These Sections have periodical meetings so why not try to attend the next get-together in your a rea. You will find that participation in your Alumni Association is always worth yo ur support.

Remember !!! Our membership goal for 1958 is 2400 contributors. Send yo ur contribution now and do your part to help in the progress of the School of Mines a nd in your MSM Alumni Association .

MSM Gets AEC Grant for Nuclear Reactor; School in Top Position in National Program HE ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION has made a grant to the Missouri School of Mines amounting to $186,858 for the construction of a small training reactor. This grant is in addition to the grant of $1 11 ,000 made by the Commission last year to expand training facilities at MSM . Dean Curtis Wilson states that "the new grant will really equip the School of Mines and Metallurgy for training in nuclear science and engineering. And it also gives the school recognition in the stepped-up national program for training in the fields we specialize in here ."

Dr. Daniel Eppelsheimer, chairman of the faculty committee which made the request for the grant has previously been contacted by representatives of General Electric, Curtis-Wright and Bendix who were seeking to install the $150,000 training reactor.

T

The remaining $36,000 of the cure rent grant will be used to secure other equipment to add to that installed last year under the earlier $111 ,000 grant.

Serving on the committee with Dr. Eppelsheimer and Dr. Harold Q Fuller, Dr. William Webb , Dr. T. J. Planje and Dr. A. J. Miles.

These outright grants by the AEC definitely place MSM in a forward position in the new stepped-up science training program.

These grants may be forerunners of others and money for research expected to be supplied by federal resources under President Eisenhower's recent call for more stress on science education .

MSM is not engaged in missile study, other than the study of ceramics, which has to do with the missile re-entry problem .

Alumni Association Scholarship Recipients Making Good Records; Program in Third Year HIS THE 1957-58 school year marks the third year of the awarding of the MSM Alumni Association Scholarships to freshmen entering the School of Mines or the renewal of these scholarships for the sophomore year to those that have made good scholastic records during their freshman year.

We thought the alumni would be interested -in the status of the recipients, therefore we are listing their names, their departments and grade points thus far.

The faculty committee that makes the awards is to be commended for their fine selection.

MSM Funds in Gouernor's Budget Total 2 1-2 Millions: Salary Item Is Short In the special session of the Missouri legislature, Governor James T. Blair, Jr., presented his budget personally which included and he recommended $2,567,800 for the School of Mines and Metallurgy'S operation during the 1958 -59 fiscal year. This amount is $61 ,873 more than the school reecived from the legislature last year.

The important salary item is short $74,000.

Of the $2,567,800 budget, $1,82 4,000 would come from state funds. The amount requested for personal services is $1,086 ,000 ; for repairs and replacements $50,000; for operation, the governor increased the request for the school from $266,500 to $267,700. He approved $60,000 for scholarships and fellowships; $70,000 for organized re.search and $1,200 for a sewer charge to the City of Rolla .

Dean Curtis L. Wilson appeared before the Senate Appropriations Committee requesting $1,428,000 from state funds recommended in the governor's budget, plus $50,000 for a nuclear reactor building and $175 ,000 for improvements of the physical education plant at MSM. And he explained to the group the dire need of the $74,000 additional funds not included in the personal services item. The Atomic Energy Commission will donate $186,000 toward the construction of the onestory building to house the reactor.

The governor 's budget is the result of careful planning by the new budget department that has been inaugurated by the state government.

Murphy Gets Award From Theta Kappa Phi The Executive Council of the Theta Kappa Phi fraternity at their regular meeting in their National Offices, Worcester, Massachusetts , October 12 and 13, 1957 honored a MSM alumni.

ATTENDED

the Missouri School of Mines a nd Metallurgy under the Thomas Wallace Kelly Scholarship of the Benton, Missouri High School. Two of them are still in MSM and one has graduated a nd entered industry.

The Thomas Wallace Kelly Scholarship F und of the Benton High School was se t up under unusua l circumstances.

Thomas Wa llace K elly graduated from the Benton High School in 1936 and enrolled at MSM in September of that year. H e graduated in May 1940, with the degree of Bachelor of Science

degree of Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering. H e is now with the R esearch Division of the Carter Oil Company, Tulsa, Oklahoma. Another graduate of the Benton High School, Arthur Dan Kiehne, is a senior in Chemical E ngineering at MSM . He is scheduled to graduate this year. H e is the son of Mr. a nd Mrs. Arthur H .

Kiehne , of Benton.

T he third stud ent is R ona ld J oseph Litzler, a freshman in Civil E ngineering at MSM. H e is the son of Mr a nd Mrs. Leo n Gla.stetter, of Benton. All three of the students have strong records in college.

Thomas K elly himself, in addition to bein g a strong student, had an active pa rt in student a;:tivites while on the campus. H e served in various capaciti es on the school paper, the school a nnual , Blue Key Honor Fraternity, Athletic Association , Society of American Military E ngineers, the Independent Student Organization, the American Society for Metals and as secretary of his class.

" H e a ppeared here under the a usp ices of the Sigma Xi National Lectureshi p Program.

Dr. Wilson has for many years been interested in the origin and evolution of the continents, and his work in this fi eld has won him international fame.

His talk dealt with the results of his research and illustra ted the reasons for the development of the continents a nd their distribution on the surface of the earth. Scientific detail was avoided so tha t the layma n in Earth Sciences found the lecture interesting and informative.

Laclede Emergency Fund Aids Six in Past Year Mr. William R. Akin , President of the Lacled e Steel Company, St. Louis, established through the Alumni Association's Alumni Fund, the Laclede Steel E mergency Fund to assist students who are confronted with dire fin ancial emergencies over which they had no control.

This fund was established in 1955 a nd the assistance is given in the form of a grant and no repayment is expected. Many students have been a ided by this resource and without it probably all of them would have been forced to drop out of school.

During the past calendar year of 1957 , six students have received assistance from the Laclede Steel Emergency Fund in the amount of $9 50.00.

Prof. Myrtle Dies; Came To Math. Dept. Last Fall It is with profound sorrow and deepest regret that the faculty of MSM notes the death of Professor Boyd C. Myrtle, which occurred at his home in Rolla on D ecember 10, 1957.

Professor Myrtle was retired from the U. S. Army afte r twenty years of service in Personnel and Administrat ion as a commissioned officer.

While still serving in the U. S. Army, in J anua ry, 1956, Professor Myrtle received his Bachelor of Science degree in Secondary Education , with a major in mathematics, from Fordham University. In June 1957, he reecived his Master of Arts degree in T eaching Seconda ry Mathematics at Columbia University, New York, N. Y. Previous to coming to MSM , Professo r Myrtle taught mathematics at the Thomas Jefferson High School, Brooklyn, N . Y. and the J ames Monroe High School, Bronx, N. Y. Professor Myrtle was a member of the Nationa l Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the American Association fo r the Advancement of Science .

In 1957 he became a member of the sta ff of the D epartment of Mathematics at MSM. In his work in the classroom he was conscientious, energetic and .thorough.

During the short time tha t Professor Myrtle taught here he earned the respect a nd admiration of his students and fellow faculty members.

St. Pat's Festivities Set for Mar. 14, 15

The Adult Education and Extension Service of the University of Missouri, in cooperation with the School of Mines and Metallurgy, is offering an extension course in Metallurgy in St. Louis.

The course is Industrial Physical Metallurgy, 360, may be taken for two hours graduate or undergraduate college credit and is open to persons having elementary metallurgy or corresponding industrial experience. The instructor is Dr. N. F. Neuman, of Mallinckrodt Chemical Company, who received his B. S. degree from MSM in 1952 , and his Ph. D. from MSM in 1955.

As in the past this course is being sponsored by the American Society for Metals in an attempt to bring the profession new materials and methods in many phases of metallurgy.

from St. Pat that he will make his annual visit to the campus for a celebration on March 14 and 15.

The St. Pat's Board is busy making arrangements for his arrival and entertainment while at MSM . As in past years the ' patron Saint has been entertained royally and this year will be no exception except plans for a biggl!r and better occasion.

Musically, he will listen and dance to one of the best, as Woody Herman and The Third Herd wil) be here. The student body had an opportunity to hear his excelient performance during the first semester at one of the General Lecture series.

Better make plans to be here on March 14 and 15.

22 Get Commissions At Mid-Year Ceremony

Second Science Fair On Campus in April

Twenty - two mid - year graduates were commissioned Second Lieutenants in the Army of the United States in a ceremony held in the Military Building on January 28, 1958 .

Colonel Lloyd L. RaIl, PMST, administered the oath of office to the new officers and, in a short talk, stressed the responsibilities of the Army Officer to the country. Nearly 1000 graduates of MSM have received commissions as a result of completion of four years of ROTC training.

The only changes in the staff and faculty of the MSM Military Departmen t since the beginning of the 195758 school year are the arrival of Colonel RaIl and the departure of Sgt. James Boyman, who reenlisted for school training.

More than 130 members of the current sophomore class have made application for Advanced ROTC training and it is anticipated that a class of about 175 will be enrolled as juniors next fall.

Many recent graduates have been called to active duty and are now attending the Officers Basic Course for their branch or have completed that training and are now performing in assignments on posts throughout the continental United States and in overseas theatres.

The Second Annual South Central Missouri Science Fair, in conjunction with Engineers' Day, will be held on the MSM campus at Jackling Gymnasium, April 10, 1958. The Fair is sponsored by the School of Mines and the Rolla Daily News.

The purpose of the Fair is to focus public attention on science, to stimulate student interest in science while in school, to encourage and inspire in our youth the desire for scientific experimentation, to offer an opportunity for display of scientific talent through exhibits and demonstrations, and to provide a common meeting place where high schools of South Central Missouri can compare courses offered.

There were 107 exhibits from the central Missouri region at the 1957 Fair.

The five areas of exhibits are biology, chemistry, earth science, mathematics and physics.

Approximately 2000 visitors were on the campus last year to participate in and witness the first Science Fair. And this number is expected to be greatly exceeded this year.

O. W . H. '29 (Harvard) ( Tak en from " Harvard Toda y" Nov ember '57)

Dr. W. J. Kroll, internationally famous metallurgist, was the recipient of the Perkins Medal of the American Section of the Society of Chemical Industry at a banquet at the WaldorfAstoria on January 10.

The well-known inventor of the process for the production of titanium and zirconium was introduced and his achievements summarized by Dr. A. W . Schlechten, Chairman of the Depa rtment of Metallurgical Engineering, at MSM. In describing Dr. Kroll's life, Dr. Schlechten pointed out that he is a n outsta nding proponent of individual effort in research as contrasted to the recent trend toward team methods. Dr. K roll' s scientific accomplishments which have resulted in a great ma ny scientific papers a nd over 30 patents , are the products of his own mind and a lmost his own two hands.

On the day of the meeting Dr. Kroll a nd Dr. Schlechten were enterta ined at luncheon by Dr. George Easley '09 a nd C. C. Whittelsey, ex-'22 , P resident of Ford , Bacon and D avis . Dr. Kroll has shown great interest in research at MSM and has supported a number of projects.

MSM to Haue Chapter of National Band Fraternity Our ROTC Band at the School of Mines has been growing the last few years. New instruments a re being purchased , more music is being played, and more students a re participating in the program.

A chap ter of the National H onorary Band Fraternity, K appa Kappa Psi , is being formed on our campus. As a part of this program of growth the band would like to establish contact with alumni of the school who played in the M. S. M.-ROTC Band at one time or a nother. In fact the band director would like to hear from alumni who played in the M. S. M . orchestra during the years before 1927 or any other instrumental group a t the school.

The Band Director, Mr. J ames Wm. Robbins of the Humanities Department, would like to get a la rge file filled with information about the Band Alumni , so write him a letter a t Room 305, Rolla Building, MSM Campus.

St. Joseph lead Company Scholarships Announced Announcement for competition for the St. Joseph Lead Company Scholarships at MSM has been made by Dean Curtis L. Wilson. These scholarships are open to graduates of the high schools of St. Francois County, Missouri and the towns of Fredericktown, Herculaneum and Potosi, Missouri, where the St. Joseph Lead Company has its principal operations.

The principals of each of the high schools in the area may nominate two candidates for the award. These candidates will be interviewed by a faculty committee of MSM. Nominees will be given certain tests to determine their qualifications for the award . One scholarship will be awarded for the academic year beginning in September of 1958-59.

The one receiving the award, if satisfactory academic progress is made, may be nominated to continue the award each year until graduation.

The value of the award is $600.00 per academic year, the funds being made available by the St. Joseph Lead Company. During the freshman year this award may be supplemented by the Curators Award , as provided by 8

the Board of Curators of the University of Missouri, having a value of $170.00.

Dean Curtis Wilson stated that the holder of this scholarship could, with what he earned during the summer, and with limited help from his parents complete his education through the benefits received from this scholarship.

Two Alumni Assist With Student ASME Programs Two MSM alumni have been on campus assisting and contributing to the meeting of the student organizations of the American Society of M echanical Engineers.

These two alumni were Kenyon V. Harrington '42 and Harry S. Pence '23 , both are with the firm Sverdrup & Parcel, consulting engineers in St. Louis, Mo. Mr. Pence conducted a panel discussion at the student meeting. It concerned the adminstration of an industrial set-up and the problems in its operation.

Students were used on the panel and the program proved to be very informative and beneficial in depicting an industrial operation .

The American Metal Company Foundation has again made a contribution to M. S.M. to be used for the purchase of special equipment. A check for $750.00 was received in December with the suggestion that it be expended to secure equipment for the Metallurgy Department.

Two contributions made previously by the same company have already been put to good us. One valuable addition was the purchase of a recording controlling pyrometer attached to the large switchboard in the electric furnace laboratory. The temperature of any furnace operated from this switchboard is recorded and can be controlled hy automatic variation of the current to the generator field .

Funds from the American Metal Company were also used to acquire a high temperature, high pressure autoclave with a magnetic stirring device.

The autoclave is used for experimentation and research on high temperature leaching processes such as have been developed recently for the treatment of nickel, cobalt and uranium ores.

The Blackwell Zinc Company, a subsidiary of American Metal Company, has employed a number of M . S. M. graduates including Marvin L. Hughen , M .S.M . '53, who is the manager at Blackwell; Walter L. Gage, M. S. M. '52 , metallurgist; and Robert L. Nauert, M. S. M. '57, who has recently been added to the staff.

Acacia to Establish Chapter on MSM Campus Coming to the camp us of M SM is a new face in the fra ternity fi eld .

Acacia is a na tional social fra ternity having 42 undergrad uate chapters throughout the co untry.

Acacia was founded in 1904 a t the University of M ichigan by a group of Master Masons, a nd the organization was built on principles of Masonry and was to be moti vated by high scholarship. Although only Master Masons were eligible fo r membership for ma ny years, this requirement no longer exists. T oday a ll persons a re eligible for membership who comply with the certain requirements. T he only ma jor requirement other than the usual frate rnity stipulations is t ha t the applicant must be willing to join the Masonic order when he comes of age.

The fo unding of this group is under way now a t MSM after being under conside ra tion by the National Board of Acacia fo r the past 8 or 9 years.

D r. Walter Sch renk , along with Professor J ames Wm. Robbins, Dr. H . Q. Fuller, Professo r Clifford Eshba ugh , a nd Mr. I va n Nelson, of the US GS a re on the committee to advise the colony which will form in the spring. Dr. Schre nk is already a member, while the rest of the men will be initia ted in the firs t ceremony of the active chapter which most likely wi ll be in the fall.

T he chap ter of Acacia a t Columbia is the mother chapter of the colony coming to MSM . A fact of interest to everyo ne should be that each chapter of Acacia an ywhere in the country must have a house mother. This may seem unusua l considering the circ umstances at R olla.

T he na me Acacia is a Greek word whi ch, acco rding to earli est known history, has been used to designa te distinctiveness and leade rshi p among mankind .

Acacia is welcomed on the campus of MSM as a membe r of the fraternity family.

S. Chaudhuri '57 Taking Steel Industry Training

s. Chaudhuri , a student from India, who received his Bachelor of Science degree in Metallurgy in 1957 has been chosen as one of the Indian Steel Engineers taking part in the Indian Steel Training and Educational Program in the United States. Thi·s program is an undertaking of American private industry, philanthrophy a nd education.

The trainees a re drawn from all parts of India and receive six weeks orientation at Tata Steel Works, Jamshedpur, India. They are then flown to New York and visit the city 's show places.

Then they go to Washington where they see the government in operation.

From Washington they go to Carnegie Tech for two weeks of orientation.

After this orientation course they start their rigo rous steel plant training in the major steel companies for one year. They a re given the opportunity to meet the labor leaders, executives and other community residents and observe life in America. Further formal training is given to the trainees at Illinois Tech, Lehigh U., Case Institute and Youngstown U.

New Alumni Groups Are Being Organized Alumni groups throughout the country a re an important facet of a strong Alumni Association. The MSM Alumni Association now has 19 such groups which we call sections. Two more a re in the process of organizing. One has set a definite date for a meeting to organize and that is the group in the ew Orleans, Louisiana a rea. This date is March 29, and the meeting will be held in ew Orleans. Sponsoring the Ark-La-Tex Section a nd the members of the Section will be there giving their full support. To get information on the place and time contact J. J .

Krebs, 6800 Louisville , New Orleans.

The second group that is under way toward organ ization is the alumni in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania a rea. O. W .

Kamper '3 5, 608 Villavista, Pittsburgh 34, Pa., has volunteered to lead the organization. Alumni in the a rea will be hearing from Ollie and his plans. If January February 1958

you don 't, contact him for he may not have your correct address.

In the Tulsa, Okla., a rea there are approximately 150 MSM alumni and we are certain that they would enjoy an alumni section but it seems that the proper person has not been contacted tha t will volunteer to head the movement to organize the section. Surely there is an alumnus or several alumni in the Tulsa a rea who will be willing to orga'nize the group. Let the' Alumni Office at Rolla, know of yo ur willingness a nd assist in getting the section under way. A few years ago there was a strong section in the area. Let us hear from someone tha t will revitalize the Tulsa Section.

Class Agents Chosen To Contact Alumni The Board of Directors of the MSM Alumni Associa tion a t their a nnual meeting last fall adopted the Class Agent plan of contacting alumni in promoting the Association and the Annual Alumni Fund. Under the plan a member of each class is chosen to head the class group in making contact with the class members.

Class Agents have been chosen for the classes up to a nd including the Class of 1940. Class Agents for the other classes will be chosen a nd the operation of the pla n will be gotten under way as fa st as possible.

This pla n is in operation in the schools that have a strong Alumni Association. It gives a n opportunity for the class members to be contacted by someone they know thus making the contact more personal.

Soon the Alumni Office is going to give information on the percentage of the participation of each class in contributing to the Alumni F und. This will enable each class to know and compare their sta nding with the others in the number of contributors.

Baruch Writes of Jacklin9's Work in Copper Field Missouri School of Mines Miners will read with great interest Chapter XV , of Berna rd M. Baruch's book "My Own Story". This chapter tells the story of the la te Daniel Jaclding '92 . Mr. Baruch sta tes, " Two developm ents of the eally 1900s forshadowed the shape of things to come. There was the emergence of Germany a nd the United Sta tes as new naval powers. Then there was the dawn ing of a new 'E lectrical Age'. This spurred a world wide hunt for raw ma teri al of every sort. " Nea r Bingham , Utah, there happened to be a cavernous gulch of mineralized porphy ry rock impregna ted with copper but a very low grade. Col. Enos A. Wall a n old timer of the district bought 200 acres of the copper canyon a nd spent $20 ,000 trying to develop it. When Wall believed hi s cause lost a yo ung mining enginee r from Missouri na med Daniel Jackling, came along with the belief he could devise a way of profitab ly working low-grade ore . The Utah Copper Compa ny was formed with Jackling as general ma nager.

"J ackling's id ea was simple in that he recommended the ore be mined with a stea m shovel a nd everything run through the mill a nd the copper separated by a flota tion process. " ] ackling was able to secure capi tal to put his operation into production at full scale. H e spent $8,000,000 before he got the mill wheels turning. The panic of 1907 caused copper prices to drop from 22 to 12 cents per po und a nd fund s were needed to meet the Compa ny 's payroll. And sha res dropped from 39 to 13 but Jaclding kept up pro du ction to hold the orga nization together. M r. Baruch aided in getting the neces a ry fina ncial assistance in the emergency.

Copper Compa ny came " Utah through with fl ying colors. And in the first year of operation J aclding's estimates were more tha n realized .

"In the 30 years tha t followed , the Utah Copper Company paid its stockhold ers more than $2 50,000,000 in dividends. " The world 's la rgest copper workings, the hole in the ground at Bingha m, Utah tha t Jackling began to dig in 1903 is still one of the biggest manmade excavatio ns on the face of the earth. " 11

McNeill Perfecting New Paving Machine

Mil

Richa rd L. McNeill received his B. S. degree in 1954 a nd at the midterm of 1957-5 8 school year he has a B. S. deg ree in Civil E ngineering.

Even before the former date he has been interested in a machine that will do a better job of asphalt paving and do it in a more rapid manner. For seven years he has been perfecting his ideas a nd now he has a scak model a nd has applied for a patent on an asphalt paving machine.

T he machine is one unit and can be opera ted by one man. It is compact, seventeen fee t in length and ten fee t wide a nd its weight empty is about 16,000 pounds. Its operation produces the quickest possible way to mix and spread the combined aggregate and asphalt and results in much better paving . All the ma terial is applied behind the wheels. It can more than double the ma terial capacity of the conventional two unit opera tion and hand les approxima tely 18,000 gallons of oil and 900 to 1000 tons of aggregate in an 8 hour day .

When D ick was questioned about the p rice of the machine, he estimated at present costs the price tag would read between $14,000 to $18,000 a uni t.

D ick is not in school this semester and is at home in Kewanee, II!. , where he is interested in the McNeill Asphalt Company. H e was in the service for two yea rs after receiving his first degree and now he is ready to pursue full time activity in the paving machine until it reaches a finality.

Miners Score Big Basketball Upset Over Washington U., After 25 Losses The Miner basketball team attained a noteworthy victory on February 12 , by defeating Washington University, on the Miner court by a 60 to 55 score. This was the Miners' first victory in 25 contests and the fourth victory in 40 games played.

Coach Dewey Allgood used only six Miner players to turn the trick.

Four of them were freshmen. Senior Nick Barre led the scoring with 18 points John Sturm and Gene Brenning each tallied 12 points each.

The teams started off slowly in a control game that resulted in few points as both were off their shooting. After nine minutes, the score was tied 10-10.

Neither team could break away. Garrett got three baskets for the Bears and Rockwell two for the Miners and one by another Miner leaving an 18-18 tie.

After Vesely 's basket, Barre hit two free throws for another tie 20-20. Then Brenning scored from the corner to put Rolla in front, 22-20. After Vesely's free throw, Barre made a fantastic hook shot from under the basket, was fouled on the play and converted .

Rockwell followed with one from the corner and Barre dropped in for another to put the Miners ahead, 29-21. Two free throws by Vesely and Garrett driving layup cut the Bears' deficit to 29-25 at the half.

The Miners pulled away at the start of the second period to a seven point advantage at 34-27 made it eight 3628. The Bears cut it down to four points on two free throws by Garrett and Patton's shot from the corner.

That was about the margin the Miners kept for the next nine minutes when they led 46-41. Garrett's free throw and Hascall's setup and a free throw cut it to a point at 46-45. A rhubarb broke out when Hascall committed the fifth foul and had a technical called for an overstrong objection.

In the confusion, Lynn Rockwell made a free throw before John Sturm took the regular foul shot. Sturm then took his tum and made the shot and the bonus toss before Rockwell converted the technical for a 49-45 lead. The Bears kept within two points until it was 55-53 . Then Gene Brenning got a setup and Larry Winter a free throw .

Vesely made a besket for the Bears, but Dan Dix got two more free throws to wrap it up .

January February 1958

Sturm counted for 8 out of 9 from the free throw line. The Miners have been weak at free throws all season.

John Sturm a 3rd Generation Miner John Sturm, the 6' 7", Miner basketball center who is leading the conference in scoring, is of the third generations of Miners. John's grandfather, Walbridge Powell graduated from MSM in 1901, receiving a B. S. degree in Mining Engineering. His father, John Theodore Sturm, played football at MSM and graduated in 1932 receiving a degree in Civil Engineering. John's mother Frances, attended MSM in 1928 and it was here that the father and mother met.

John was enrolled in the University of Missouri at Columbia, last year but decided to attend the school that has proved to be a tradition of the family.

The Sturms live at St. James where Sandy, a name John T . acquired while attending MSM, is manager of the Powell Lumber Company. The son lives at home and commutes daily to MSM, and the family is present at the Jackling gym for each home game to watch their son display his basketball prowess.

It seems too, that while John was at

Columbia he met Miss Nancy Teal, of Midland , Michigan , who was attending Stephens College. And now they are engaged. Wedding dates are indefinite.

The Miners are glad to have sophomore John on the team. He is the tallest member of a Miner squad for several years and he has two more years of eligibility.

MSM Cagers Have Bright Side, Despite Losses The Miner basketball team hasn't been doing so well in the games won category, but in some other aspects they have excelled. Two of these are outstanding and are worthy of publicity.

John Sturm, the Miners' 6' 7" sophomore from St. James, Missouri , is leading the MIAA conference in scoring honors. He has scored 106 points in five games, for an average of 21 .2 points per game. John attained this record at the close of the week of January 27 to February 1. He has been in second place most of the season .

This is a fine attainment for a team that is in last place in conference standing.

The other record was the trouncing the Miners gave Maryville, at Jackling Gyb, by a score of 86 to 56. T his is a scoring record for the Miners against any MIAA team in conference competition. The entire Miner squad saw action against the Bearcats that night.

Now the results of the games played thus far. The results of the first four games were given in the NovemberDecember issue of the MSM ALUMNUS . Briefly, there were three losses and one win . All were non-conference games.

The fifth Miner contest was with Southern Illinois University, on their court, and the Miners lost by a score of 68 to 59 .

The next game was with Harris Teachers, at Rolla. This game resulted in the Miners' second victory of the season with a final score of 62-69.

On December 21 , the squad journeyed .to ~artin , Tennessee, to play the (Martin Umverslty of Tennessee Branch). The Miners bowed to the powerful Tennessee five by a 55 to 79 loss.

The first conference game was with the Cape Indians in their field house.

The Indians with their dead-eye accu13

racy won the game at the free throw lin e. The Miners sank six more field goa ls than the Indians. The leading sco rer for the Miners was Sturm , with 27 points.

The eco nd con ference game was on the Min er co urt with Kirksville as the oPI onent. T his was our first confernce game a t home. And again the free throw lin e was the M in ers' downfall.

The Bulld og sa nk 34 free throws a nd t he Min ers were able to hit only 16, whi le dropp ing in five more baskets from th e field than did the victors.

Fina l sco re 54-62.

T he trong Springfi eld Bears were our next opponents . And with a record of 13 straight vi ctori es under their belt they defeated the Mine rs SO to 8 7.

The nex t ~ a m e was with Maryvill e here a nd its res ults esta bli shed a record p revi ously described .

T he Bea rcat sma rting from their seve re la hin g at Rolla, were out for reve nge when they met the Mine rs in thei r own la ir . The lead wen t from one team to the other throughout the game a nd in the last fifteen seconds the Bearca ts gain ed a one poin t ad van tage tha t rema ined to the end of the game. F in al sco re 74-73, a Miner loss .

On Feb rua ry 1, t he M in ers were guests o f the K irksvill e B ulld ogs . Th is game ena bled Kirksville to remain in seco nd place in the conference with a 61 to 9 1 victory.

F ive co ntes ts remain on the Miners' sched uIe a nd all a re con ference except one with W as hington Un iversity here.

The box sco re to date is 3 victori es in 12 co ntests a nd one victory in co nference play.
