rock, one of the largest yet returned from the moon, was called "quite different" from the stones brought back by Apollo 11's astronautsfour months ago from a site 954 miles east of Apollo 12's base. In general, however, most of the rocks examined so far from Apollo 12's priceless cargo appeared to be chunks of ancient lava flows similar to Apollo 11's specimens. Kept Lunar "Your 'beat Army' flag, carried to the moon aboard Apollo 12, will be returned upon release from quarantine. Good luck and beat Army," the three spacemen all Navy captains said in their message. Interestingly, none is an Annapolis graduate.

The clowning was at Gordon's expense. Both Conrad and Bean are "shellbacks" Navy men who have crossed the equator before but Gordon was a "pollywog," a man who had never sailed across the equator. So the two shellbacks took to initiate him into the "Roy, al domain of Neptunis Rex." In the afternoon Gordon appeared at a trailer window wearing his cap and flight Suit backwards. A sign around his neck proclaimed: "Beware! Luney wog! Unclean! Unpredictable!" "We've been making him stay up late at night," Conrad said. "We fed him a salty breakfast.

We might be glad to display him later if anything remains." Bean said "we're trying to make the trip as miserable as possible for Dick." Gordon just looked glum. Busy Samples small, numbered plastic bags. Charles "Pete" Conrad and Alan L. Bean told geologists where each of the samples was collected. GLASS-COATED specimen was picked up on the lip of Bench Crater, a 200-foot wide depression located about 1,000 feet, from.

Apollo 12's Intrepid landing craft. Bench Crater was noteworthy because it had a bench-like layer of rock midway down its inside wall. Dr. David Carrier, another space agency geologist, said one of the astronauts' sample bags contained a light colored soil the astronauts discovered near Head Crater. "This should be very informative in that it is distinct from the other soil sam.

pies we have seen so far," he said. Apollo 12's first rock box was opened Wednesday night and it had two sacks containing 19 igeneous rocks and a large amount of gray soil that had a browner tint and was finer than the dirt from Apollo 11's Tranquility base. jet and flown to Houston, where early tomorrow the spacemen will move into more spacious quarantine quarters in the space center's lunar receiving laboratory. They will remain there until Dec. 10.

Thanksgiving was a day of work, a traditional turkey More Photos, Stories on A-4 dinner, clowning and football for the men who made America 's second moon landing last week. They put the final touches on their first post-flight debriefing reports, but were anxious to learn the outcome of the football game between Texas University and the University of Texas, Bean's alma motel. Bean's school won, 49-12. THE ASTRONAUTS also let a spokesman reveal they had sent a telegram to the Naval Academy at Annapolis, wishing the Cadets victory over Army tomorrow in Philadelphia when the two schools meet in their tradi filled case where the second sample container was opened. "So this is very interesting in terms of the origin of the glass and the distance of the meteoroid impact, if that can be 'what caused this glass coating on the rock." Scientists theorized on the basis of 'Apollo 11's 48 pounds of samples that tremendous heat generated when meteoroids smashed into the moon melted rock.

This liquid then solidified quickly into glass. Greenwood said the rock also Was split open in several places and had large crystals of pyroxene up to 212 inches long sticking out from a finer grained surface. Pyroxene is a magnesium silicate mineral that also was common to Apollo 11's rocks.
