"Jeep” Oates Is back and is ready
to put the Twilight League ia bet
ter running condition. His first
awve ia the calling of the ts
managers to meet Friday night i*
Ms room, 99 Milner.
If there ever were a jins game,
the Lipscomb Pharmacy- Ag Edu
cator game was it. Three times the
tws teams attempted to decide the
better of the two at|d it looked as
though three times the players and
their managers would be sadly dis
appointed; hut with the ruling that
half the game must be played be
fore it becomes official, the phar
macy has been credited with the
game. The first of. the sertee was
called at dark with a tie score of
S bo S, the second was rescheduled
due to a miscalled play, and the
third was rained oat in the first
half of the fifth inning.
We see and hear that President
Wniney at the Univdreity of Texas

over—but what memories remain!
No more will we have to listen to
the whistle blow every five min
utes to “fall in'*. No more will we
have to fight Are when the ther
mometer is standing at tit de
grees every time ere fire the can
non. No more will we have to get
up at 6 a. m. and go to bed at
19:16 p. m. No more will we have
to do extra duty. No more will we
have to do K. P. duty. No more will
we have to roll tent flaps by the
numbers. No more will we have to
do our “daily doxen”. No
will we bade to waar short pants
and wrap leggings. No more will
we beat the tramp through the
“West Side” of San Antonio. It
was a wonderful time while it
lasted, but we are all glad that
six weeks was the limk.
For five kmg weeks Camp Bullis
was as dry as a powder-hauae, but
when we spirted' on our three-day
maneuver the showers came and it
rained until we returned to camp.
Then it stopped! While in the
field we got as wet as the well-
known rat, but we accomplished
our mission and drove the mock
enemy back over the hills and pro
tected Camp Stanley.
During the time
Bullis we made a trip to Ft. Sam
Houston and Randolph Field. Both
places offer many sights of inter
est. At Randolph we went through
the hangars, repair shops, salvage
shops, cadet quarters, etc. The
quarters there were the best that
this writer has ever seen. After
looking over the set-up there, many
of the cadets filed application
papers for eatraiaea to the school.
There were three paydays during
tha six weeks, and almost every
cadet made a trip to San Antonio
after payday to spend his small
fortune.
The bugle would blow every
morning at 6 o’clock and the lads
would tumble out of bed. After
that we would go to breakfast. Af
ter breakfast we would pull off
our wool undershirts and take ex
erciaes. Then we would go to ou
tents and put on a cotton shirt and
wrap leggings with our abort pants
and would mount the trucks and go
to the field. We would stay in the
field working on problems until
the chocolate milk wagon
around, and would then drink our
chocolate milk and then would con
tinue our problems until about
12:90. Then we would mount the
trucks and go bock to camp. When
we got back to camp we would
eat dinner and after dinner the
boys that had extra duty charged
to them would put on their fatigue
clothes and haul ammunition' or
pick up rocks while the resp-eif'the
hoys slept.
We were off from the tiqqe we
came off problems until 6 o’clock
when we did some more exercising.
After exercising in the evening we
would stand retreat and then fall
out and put our hats up before
going to supper. After supper we
were free to go until 10:16, when
we had to be in bed. Then the O.
D. would check up—just ask Bam
Davenport. If you want to hear

FIRST SEMESTER ALL-STAR TEAMS
NAMED; BRYAN GAME IS RAINED OUT
And it rained and it rained all
over the place. Such were the fore
cast and the conditions that led
to the calling off of the Bryan Com
mercial-College Twilight All-Star
game last week. Both teams wound
up the first half of their series and
were ready for the second to start,
, with a few off days to between.
Two games were to have been play
ed, one under the rules as played
here and the other under the rules
as played in town.
The players to enter the con
tests representing the local teams
were chosen by team and league
managers and listed as all-stare of
the first half of the aeries.
The first team, managed by
“Sateh” Elkina, was composed of
members of four of the eight teams
of the league. The other was to
have been steered by “Sutmy”
Campbell.
Dare McMinn, first baseman for
the Seaboard Life team, waa chosen
to play one of the first base posi
tions but eras eut of teem at the
time the game was scheduled.
“Cjiielr” Denny waa up for a spot
either at third or short field on the
second team but would hare been
unable to play.
The great game will not be play
ed but a similar one will be sc bed
uled at the end of the present term
with new players listed as found
