THE BATTALION 7 THE PAN I I>y I). B. McNerney With the grand finale— Only a few days away, it might be well for us to turn our attention to those matters whereby we may close the current term with a bril liant and colorful gesture. All school closings are more or less colorful in themselves but they can be made to be drab and nerve- wracking if the students so choose. Every year the final review— lends its bit toward the atmosphere of brilliancy but the really touch ing and noble part of all is the ex changes of farewell that immed iately preceeds the last parade of the corps. It is then that indivi duals often spoil the ceremonies by with-holding the last noble gesture. Even the worst of us— can recall the wound but it takes a real man to forget all but the scar and let it alone act as a mute ac cused for the discomfort of the wrongdoer. It’s a poor sort of re- What’s YOUR favorite pipe tobacco? w Most PRINCETON men smoke— TF you walk along Prospect Street J_ in Princeton you’ll notice how many men load their pipes from the familiar blue Edgeworth tin. At Senior Singing on the steps of Nassau Hall this spring the pipes will glow with Edgeworth. A pipe and Edgeworth—this is the smoking combination that has won the college man. Yale, Dart mouth, Cornell, Illinois, Stanford ... all agree with Princeton. College men everywhere respond to the appeal of pipes—packed with cool, slow-burning Edgeworth. Be guided by their choice: Try Edge- worth yourself. Taste its rich nat ural savor that is enhanced im measurably by Edgeworth’s dis tinctive eleventh process.

Last year— a certain high-ranking cadet offi cer gained prominance chiefly be- cause of his unpopularity. There happened to be a particular sopho more who, on frequent occassions, ran afoul of this most important; person’s wrath. Their relations couldn’t exactly be classed as con- j genial and as a result, each nursed J a grudge against the other. The | end of the year rolled ’round and t on the morning of the final review these two met. Quite strangly; enough the sophomore thrust out his hand and with a beaming l mile said “Good Luck, .” The senior was rather taken aback— but we will always believe that it sounded good to him. These two may travel far and wide in life, but should they ever tneet, the former underclassman can look his “arch enemy” in the eyes and greet him, not as Mr. , but as an A & M man. Truly, it would have been a poor sort of revenge had they snubbed each other. You who hold grudges— against others and are doubious about accepting our simply little tale’s moral will probably forego the opportunity of “cleaning the the slate when the school-bell rings.” Some of you won’t even feel any pangs of conscience for a long while, but, if the time should come when this particular person follows the way of all flesh, you’re going to experience a none too pleasant sensation when you recall your last meeting with him. The Pan won’t be there to tell you “We told you so.” It won’t need to. In conclusion— Cuss him under your breath but let your “enemy” go with a “group” picture of yourself all wrapped up in a smile. Finals In Playground Baseball This Week Troop C Cavalry— (Contiued from page 6) Company G Infantry will meet Bat tery D Artillery in the final game in class A playground baseball, while Battery C Artillery battles Battery B for the class B title before the close of this week to wind up the 1930-31 season of intramural sports at the college and mark the close of a very successful year in the department of intramural athletics. The start of the playground ball season this year found 24 teams en tered in class A competition and 22 in the class B title chase. The teams were divided into eight leagues, four in each class, when the race began April 3. Winners of each of the four lea gues in their respective class are: class A: Battery D Artillery, Com pany H Infantry, Battary E Artillery, and Company G Infantry. In class B the winners are Battery C Artillery, defending champions of last year, Battery B Artillery, Company A Sig nal Corps, and Battery F Artillery, runner-up in the race last season. Company G won the right to com pete in the final go by downing Bat tery E, while Battery D took the measure of Company H in the semi final round. In class B Battery B toiled twelve innings to defeat Bat tery B and Battery C won from Com pany A Signal Corps in the semi-fi nals. Differing from the policy of for mer years, when the glory of victory was the sole attraction to class B title winners, a bronze medal of the exact design as those awarded to members of champion class A teams will await each player on the winning team in class B competition. Through this medium the intramural depart- j ment hoped to arouse an increased amount of interest in class B sports. A & M Tracksters To Compete In National Meet Harry Stiteler, king of the South west pole vaulters from Smithville, Herman Harlan and Don Slocomb, leading timber toppers in the confer ence and the pride of Cameron, will journey to Chicago at the close of school to represent A & M in the National Intercollegiate track and field meet on June 5 and 6. After several failures to win in dual meets early in the season, Stite ler proved to critics that he can still top the bar past the 13 foot mark when he valuted 13 feet 3/4 inches to better his own mark of last year by 1/4 of an inch. Because of this feat he is conceded a good chance to place in the national meet. The ability of Harlan and Slocomb in the hurdle races is beyond ques tion as shown by their excellent time in each competition throughout the season just finished. Harlan further showed his prowess in topping the tall timbers by smashing the confer ence record and endangering the world record in his event. Slocomb has an enviable record since the start of his career in the hurdles three years ago, and has to his credit the very excel lent time of 23.6 seconds in several races in the past.

The 40 yard free style race was probably the feature of the meet, with Uhr finishing only five tenths of one second in front of the second place winner. R. P. Lively and V. O. Fritze, sen ior intramural managers, succeeded in completing the entire meet in the record time of one hour and fifteen minutes. Stiff Battle— (Contiued from page 6) to a major leaguer. After two bobbles in the first inning, Henderson played errorless ball the remainder of the way. His very efficient handling of Ater’s drive through second in the fifth inning and a great catch of Bloe- baum’s fly in the ninth far oversha dowed his two misplays early in the game. Although he failed to connect in four trips to the plate, Bob Garvey, the Polk County product caught a per fect game behind the bat and was frequently found down the first base line eager to assist in case of a mis- throw. Squawk Veltman also had an off day at the plate, but was credited with only two official trips and two walks. George Carpenter covered the initial I sack well throughout, handling nine j chances without a miscue. ALTERATIONS, CLEANING, PRESSING AND REPAIRS HATS CLEANED AND BLOCKED.
