THE BATTALION

was an all-conference choice on sev
eral selections.
For the first time in four years,
A & M is without a single represen
tative in the East-West game at San-
Francisco. However, five Southwest
players, the largest number ever ask
ed, have been invited.
This means that our conference is
gaining recognition throughout the
country. Coach D. X. Bible doing part
of the selection probably has quite
a good bit to do with this.
The week’s best goes to the intra
mural manager that allowed E Bat
tery to play an entire speedball game
using twelve men. However, a mis
take like that seldom occurs in the
intramural department.
The Reidmen got off to a flying
start in the first game—hang on—
and they’ll keep flying.

The Composites have several fish
from the freshmen team out for the
squad but they are all light men.
The old men back are R. L. Suggs,
R. L. Dunten, D. L. Hurst, J. B. Smith,
Bill Amos, E. Bartel, C. C. Nash, and
L. W. Orton.
The championship First Artillery,
with practically the same team of last
year and several fish are working out
daily under the guidance of Coaches
Pete Hewitt, Sweetie Davis, and Carl
Moulden. The team is much stronger
than last year. With a heavy line and
backfield little trouble should be found
in fashioning a formidable team.
Some of the old men back are Bob
Buckman, Bill O’Dowd, George Pierce,
Bert Airhart, Bubba Robbins, and Red
Morris, a squadman of two years
back.
Oliver Guseman has charge of the
Second Artillery team this year. There
are several men from the varsity
squad eligible for the team this year,
along with several fish. The team is
rapidly rounding into shape for the
opening of the season Saturday.
There are ten old men back, and at
the present time sixty men are work
ing out daily. Among the old men
back are B. E. Sulak, A. C. Moser,
F. H. Shepherd, and J. M. Kender-
dine.
The Cavalry intramural has forty-
five men working out daily under the
direction of Harry Stiteler and Jack
Christian. The squad will miss the
services of Stiteler, who lettered on
the varsity squad this year. There are
several old men back this year among
whom are R. H. Scheer, a hard fight
ing end from the varsity squad.
The complete schedule is as follows:
Dec. 13—Eng vs Comp.

loyalty and promised a better team
for next season.
The annual Houston Post-Dispatch
trophy was presented to Jake Wilson,
Baylor University quarterback. This
trophy is presented each year to the
outstanding football player of the
Southwest conference. The presenta
tion was made by Lloyd Gregory,
Post-Dispatch sports editor.
The merriment reached its height
when thirty-five girls, under the di
rection of August C. Bering Jr., pre
sented a musical comedy. This com
edy lived up to all expectations and
advanced notices.
Vice-President Saper of the Houston
Ex-Aggies introduced “Bull” Floyd,
Captain of the 1930 team, and Carl
Moulden, captain-elect of the 1931
team. Coach Frank Anderson and his
championship cross-country team
were also introduced. In his speech
Mr. Saper also urged the Aggie auth
orities to permit the A & M cadet
corps to attend the Aggie-Rice Owl
game next fall.
President T. O. Walton in his
speech sounded a warning note when
he said that there are some athletic
practices in the Southwest conference
that should be corrected. “As for A
& M,” he said, “we have preferred to
be open and above board in our prac
tices and take the penalty of being
criticized by the public when we fail
to have a winning team.
The fun continued until after mid
night, with speeches being made by
practically all of the lettermen on the
football team. This was the largest
banquet that the Houston Aggies
have ever held for the Aggie football
team.
Tennis Matches Begun
The annual tennis tournament, spon
sored yearly by the intramural de
partment to determine the best dou
bles team and individual tennis player,
was begun Monday afternoon with L.
F. Wanja and J. Woodward, Co. H
Infantry defeating S. R. Craig and
W. H. Drushell, Co. C. Infantry, while
C. M. White and L. E. Zieschang, Co.
A Infantry, took the measure of H.
F. Smith and O. Erwin, Troop B.
This tournament is simply an elimi
nation series in which a team once
defeated is out of the race.
Pity The Poor Intramural Mgr.
An unusual but interesting event
occurred Sunday afternoon, when af
ter Battery E Artillery had defeated
Battery F in a game to determine the
college speedball championship, it was
discovered that Battery E had used
12 men through out the game un
known to the officials, score keepers,
intramural managers and themselves.
The game requires only eleven men.
Since this error has been discover
ed the game will be played over the
latter part of the week.
In the semi-finals, Battery E de
feated Company D Infantry, and Bat
tery F eliminated Company A Signal
Corps. Battery F won the champion
ship last year.

WEATHER STATION MAROONED
ANN ARBOR, Mich.—Until next
spring, when new supplies can be
shipped to it, the University of Mich
igan weather station on Mount Evans,
Greenland, will be cut off from com
munication with the rest of the world,
according to Professor William H.
Hobbs, head of the geology depart
ment at the University here.
Dr. Hobbs revealed that the station
can send out messages, but cannot
receive any because of an accident in
which receiving equipment was de
stroyed.
SCORES ATHLETES
WOOSTER, O.—The best publicity
which can come to the College of
Wooster is from its growing influence
in academic standards, in culture and
in religion, rather than from football,
Dr. Charles F. Wishart, president of
the college told Wooster Kiwanians
here.
The president said that financial aid
was being given to all students alike
who needed it, athletes and just plain
students.
SAVING THE CO-ED’S NECKS
NEW YORK.—Undergraduates at
Barnard College here are seriously
contemplating a program for letting
the world know that the college is
one for women students. The move
was instigated by the undergraduate
newspaper after the college had re
ceived a letter from a sports concern,
pointing out the advantages of using
rubber line markers on the football
field, thus saving the necks of the
players.
