INTRAMURAL
. HIGHLIGHTS.
By HUB JOHNSON
Tennis comes to the front this
trip. E Engineers marked up their
first extra points towards the sea
son standing by moving into the
semi-final bracket. This is the
first time the Engineer team has
scratched; although, they have en
try points to their credit.
In the A Division—D Field
match, the 1st Battalion team
came out the better with Shelton
and Giles furnishing the best.
They downed Kreuz and Hitchell,
6-0, 6-1. Harrison and Hensel top
ped Richards and McConell, 6-4,
6-1. The other match was not
played due to the two-game lead
already held by the A team.
One more day for the fish to
round into shape for the Class B
swimming meet. The preliminaries
are scheduled for Saturday and the
finals Sunday.
In the handball games the past
few days, 1st Combat Train Field
Artillery beat out A Engineers 2
to 1 with Brakebill and Harris
playing real ball for the field team.
Sibeck and Koetter were the win
ners of the one game for the Engi
neers.
E Engineers downed the I Infan
try team 2 to 0 to hand the In
fantry team a loss that could have
meant the lead in the race. Gwin,
Boulter, Oswalt, and Guy played
the winning games for the castle
boys while Curry and Cook stood
by to play the third if necessary.
D. Coast and C Cavalry had
wins marked to their credit due to
forfeits from E Engineers and E
Coast Artillery.
In League C of the touch foot
ball set-up three organizations
have teams tied for the league
championship. All games have
been played so it looks as though
there will be another playoff. On
top of that, it’s all in a circle.
F Engineers has beaten C Field
Artillery on penetrations, C Field
has turned back G Coast Artillery
6 to 0, and G Coast has defeated
F Engineers on penetrations.

or to better those set last year.
All new comers are still welcomed
at the range and anyone interest
ed is asked to drop around.
The present schedule of matches
to date is :
Ohio State University, February
24.
Illinois University, Arkansas
State College, and Xavier Univer
sity, March 2.
Cornell University and Eastern
Kentucky State Teachers College,

Green Wave And
Aggies Have Met
In Eleven Games
Playing the Tulane Green Wave
in the Sugar Bowl on New Year’s
Day will be something new for a
Texas Aggie football team, but it
will not be the first time the teams
have met, for the two schools have
a rivalry dating back to 1902 v/hen
the fathers of the present players
were probably infants.
So far the score stands at 7-4 for
the Aggies and the last time they
played was in 1933 at New Orleans,
and the game was won by A. & M.,
13-6.
Here is the all-time record:
Year Aggies Tulane
1902 17 5
1906 18 0
1907 18 6
1910 17 0
1912 41 0
1917 35 0

Class B Swimming
Meet Will Be Held
Saturday and Sunday
The question as to whether or
not “fish” can really swim will be
answered this week when the Class
B swimming meet is run Saturday
and Sunday.
Last year E Field Artillery
freshmen swam off with the meet
with a 34 to 23 lead over C Field’s
crew.
Little is ever known in advance
of the fish team meet but based on
the looks of the pool during the
past two months, the meet should
be a bit closer than that of last
year.
The events included in this meet
will be as follows: 100-foot free
style, 100-foot backstroke, 100-foot
breaststroke, 100-yard freestyle,
400-foot freestyle relay, fancy div
ing and 300-foot medley.
Football Team Given
Champion Turkey By
Central Plains Club
The Central Plains A. & M. Club
from Plainview and Floydada pre
sented the Aggie football team
with a large turkey Wednesday
afternoon. The turkey won grand-
champion honors at the Southwest
Grass Turkey Show held December
6 and 7 at Panhandle, weighed 39
pounds dressed and sold at $2.00
per pound.
It will be served to the football
team at a special banquet Friday
night, December 22, before they
leave for the Christmas holidays.
Polo Team Will
Meet Lamesa Crew
In Double Program
Hitting a new stride against
the Oklahoma University horsemen,
the Aggie Polo team will return
to Jackson Field Friday afternoon
to face the Lamesa Texas crew.
This is a non-collegiate game but
true polo-will still be the card. The
Lamesa team is one of the oldest
associations in the state and plays
similar to the way the strong New
Mexico Military teams run the
field. The West Texas team met the
New Mexico team earlier this sea
son winning two games and los
ing one.
The Institute crept into the top
place position this week end by
defeating the Oklahoma Military
Academy in two games while the
Sooner University and the Aggies
split one. All three teams were
tied for the lead until this date.
The Friday evening game will
be the first of a double bill be
tween the two teams. The next
game will be played Sunday after
noon. Both will start at 2:30 p. m.
The probable starting lineups
are as follows:
A. & M. Lamesa
Maloney No. 1 Woodward
Jones No. 2 Barron, Eric
McDonald No. 3 Barron, S.
Williams No. 4 White

Camels
There’s no finer gift for those who smoke cigarettes than
Camels. You can be sure your choice is wise —for more
people enjoy Camels than any other brand. And when
you give Camels you’re giving the milder, cooler smok
ing of Camel’s matchless blend of long-burning costlier
tobaccos. Dealers are featuring Camels in a choice of
two attractive gift packages—200 Camels in each. There’s
lots of cheer in smoking Camels—and in giving Camels!
Prince Albert
If he smokes a pipe then he’s bound to appreciate a gift of
Prince Albert Smoking Tobacco—the largest-selling smok
ing tobacco in the world. Prince Albert is the famous
coo/er-smoking pipe tobacco that’s made extra mild and
extra tasty by special “crimp cut” and "no-bite” treatment.
There’s so much pleasure in giving Prince Albert because
you know your gift will please. So, for pipe-smokers, this
Christmas, give Prince Albert—the National Joy Smoke!
