Field Artillery i Leads in Wins BY TOM DAKROW Assistant Sparta Editor It has been brought to my at tention that there is considerable base in the minds of many ns to the team winners in the various sports of the intramural program, and for this reason, and in order to bring the rveords up to dnto the following figures have been prepar ed of the school intramural cham- CLAS8 A Handball: M E” Battery Field Ar tillery; and second, 2Hd.Q Battery Field ArtiUery.

Ip end; and Chaster Heiznan, are the trio now back in good graces. AH starred for kho 1937 undefeated freshman team. The greatest problem facing Norton will be to repbrne Dick Todd, twice All-Southwest Confer once and rated by many sports writers as one of the greatest hall carriers ever to play in the South west.

Jim Thorpe, who many con sider to be the greatest football player of all times, was a Warner pupil. Ernie Neven was another of Warner's produels. Temple, under Warner, beat the Cadets twios. In 1984 oi the East Coast they smothered the Aggies, anj the next year they trimmed the Obdets at Tylar, 14 to 0. Many of you seniors remember that Inst game. “Pop” had a guy by the name of Dave Snakier who he said wm the greatest player that he ever coached. The Cadets etmp-d on that big fullback oU afternoon, and he looked like just another 9MV*.: winner: T. C. (Bibbs, “B" Company Engineers with 1:44:2 time. Swimming Meet: 1H<LQ. Battery Field ArtiUery; and second, "E” Battery Field ArtUtary. Basketball: “C” Troop Cavalry; and second, “L" Company Infantry. . Tennis: “A” Battery Field Ar tillery ; and second, "C“ Troop Cavalry. In looking over these results it will he found that the Field Artil lery Regiment supplied six first- place winners and three second place teams, along with a high point man in rifle shooting. The boys from the Cavalry had one first place team and three second place outfits. Across the court from the “yellow hat cords,” in Purysar, we find the Coast Artillery putting up a single first place team, and the Infantry and Engineers pulled down a second place apiece. How ever, the “Slip Stickers" hod a high point man in the croas country erback, a job held down by Owens (Slick) Rogers for the post two years. This pair were the main stays of the 13 seniors on the 1938 team but the loss of Bill Min nock and Karl Steffens, first string guards, also will be felt Alvin 01 brich, reserve guard, who scored the touchdown against Texas last Thanksgiving alto wfll ho among the miasing.

Todd, Rogors, Britt, Sckro Bransom. Steffens, Minnock and ( ostoa all were atarting players. Of the returning 89 players, i total of 10 will be seniors and six of thoae lettermen. The other 29 include several boys on the squad last year but who wars purposely held back for another year, total of 14 sophomores lettered last year and all will be back os juniors. While Norton dhd hia staff are not definitely set on the positions the players will fill, he sold that he expects to keep the changes down to n minimum. As pre-train ing guess the Aggie mentor says he expects to shift only two let- term en. These shifts will take Bill (Big Dbg) Dawson, tackle, back to end where he starred as a fresh man. This move will give the Ca dets two ends, Darby and ”Big Dog” who stand six feet, five inches and weigh 225 pounds each. HERMAN TO CENTER The other proposed shift may take Odell (Dutch) Hannan, block ing back to center or guard He will be tried in both petitions be fore hia fywl location is decided. On the othMrjhnad he may remain in the baekfi d for os Norton says, “we will seg how the changes wprk out" I Finis (Muty) White, squad- man end. one «f |fe» “hold-out” group, will probably be shifted to guard or to a Mocking hack job, or even to tackle if the need oriaaa Shifts for freshmen from the 1938 team probably will see Euel (Poppa)- WeaM>n. five feet four inch, 220 pound enter or playing a bleckim back who will do some ball carrying at times.
