THE BATTALION Aggies Capture— (Continued from page 6) represented by six men composing three double teams. Because of the lack of courts, this competition will be run on tournament plans. At the close of this tournament there will be a series of competitions to award the college championship of the best doubles team and the best singles player in school. The competing men will consist of the best doubles team and the best singles player from each company. The winning doubles team and winning singles team will be pre sented with medals signifying the college championship. On October 20, speedball will get under way. This is a very fast game, being a combination of soccer, basket ball and football. All men acquaint ed with the game are urged to play and others may obtain rules by which the game is played. The cross country run will be held Nov. 22. Any number of men may be entered in this event by each company. However, only the first three men score for their outfit. Points are given corresponding to the place which a player wins; thus the company with the lowest score is winner. Likewise, medals are given to the winning team as well as the first place winner. Rifle shooting < is also a fall sport and particulars concerning it will be announced in the near future. According to W. L. Penberthy, in tramural director, the aim of the in tramural department is to have as few forfeits as possible and it is also to the benefit of the competitors to be at the scene of battle early on the scheduled date. Aggie Start— (Continued from page 1) over the Biblemen and tied two other contests. And in that time Bible pro duced two championship teams, one of which was defeated by Bell’s Horn ed Progs and the other of which was tied. The Aggies will go to Lincoln with virtually every man on the squad in top form, barring a few minor bruis es and injuries which are not serious enough to hinder. Captain Floyd, Magrill, Malone and Nolan, all of whom were under the weather as a result of influenza early in the week, are back in shape and it is believed they will be ready to perform with their usual capability Saturday. Word from the Cornhusker camp indicates that Bible has cut his first string squad to 36 men, a certain sign on Bible-coached squads that every thing is in order, and it is as under dogs that the Maroon and White war riors will make their invasion, just as it was as underdogs that Bell used to lead his men into the game with Bible elevens several years ago. Meanwhile, as preparations for the trip are being hurried through, deep down in every Aggie heart is the prayer, “May that Bell “jinx” hold true.” THE AGGIE OFFENSIVE Yards Gained Harling 83 Phillips 81 Aston 58 Floyd 28 Hewitt 27 Sheperd 18 Woodman 12 Davis 5 Sebesta 5 Graves 1 Touchdowns: Floyd 4, Phil lips 2, Aston 1.
