X .i the Um . and 'V •i With Mar««ret RaHiacahMd • Aa they aay Ctt things, rood or to, thia aufimar seaaton is ▼ary rapidly coming- to a close— perhaps, too rapidly for those with five reports due, or of the text-hook yet to read—but the end ia coming anyhow. And in another week there will be not t rtpple on the surface of the swim ming pool, no pounding is the bowl ing alleys or shouting from the baseball fields, and no dusty, hot tennis players walking back to the halls—in fact, there won’t he a thing left hut the dogs 4*1 a litter of paper .op the ground. But mUmf than look forward, let’s look back and see what’s happened this se mester. Several events helped to main tain interest in sports through the hot months of the summer. First there waa the Twilight Softball L*«rte, managed by -Jeep** Oates, with six teams playing during the second term. A series of close Kama, proved the superiority of the Aggieland Pharmacy players, who were chosen to play the win ning team it> the Bryan League laat Monday night. * The first summer tennis tourna ment was s success because it gave the tennis players some gopd gam es, and it showed the amount of interest that can be found on the campus during the summer in any sort of contest The results were as predicted, with left-handed V. C. Denton coming out first in the singles, and- winning the boys’ doubles with Jimmy Giles and the mixed daubl** with Angel Ornelas. Incidentally a word of thanks *Wwld go to Jimmy and V. C. for the mark they did on the clay courts, to pnt them in condition, for the final matches. Of 4'enna the most popular pport on the campus during ^he entire * summer has been swimming. An ^ average of 2W parsons used the ! ** ’Topi daily. Thera, tea, interest was centered on a meet, h. 1<1 Wednes day night in the college pool. In- cluled was an event for under water swimming, which has been practiced almost more than any other form of swimming this sum mer. The meet was managed by Eddie iahnson, “Chick” * Denny, and Hub Johnson. There were other activities to take their bit of time from these long days—bowling, ping-pong, billiards, and golf attracted their particular fans who found time heavy on their hands. And of course, there was the second Pas ture Prom, which turned out to be one of the most strenuous forms of exercise found here this sum mer! - Well, the finishing touch to all these activities was put on with the election of the best all-round, girl and the best sll-roand boy in^ the field of sports for the second term. As it turned out, lot enough votes were cast for a girl; there fore the spot will have to remain empty. V. C. Denton was chosen gs the most versatile sportsman on the campus, however. And aow, a few notes to bring things up te date—we see that Bobby Moers, the Houston high school product who gave the Aggies their six points in the Texas game last season, has decided to give up football thia'year to keep from endangering his chances of play ing professional baseball when he aext Jane.

Those great stars' cannot be replaced, but It will not g take the number I team of the 1 nation to win the conference this trip. AGGIES FOURTH The Aggies lost some good men in Todd, Rogers, Bransom.

Bill Duncan will be one end with probably Jack Kimbrough at the other, and Mar shall Robnett and Ed Robnett will probably be the guards, Boyd will be a mainstay at one tackle and Pannell at the other, while Vaughn •nd Herman along with Haaser will take care of the pivot. A. 4 M. has a tough row to hoe, but if they can take the Frags at Ft. Worth ia the opening con ference game they may be headed for the top. On pap.-t they appear to be in fourth place though “F|m ’ Wood, San Angelo, are rsiKhing. The Kimbrough brothers, “Big Jol|n” and Jack, are faming and raiiching at Haskell while BriNti 8. M. U.BTRom.
