f BATTALION SPORTS .EDITOR What Should a Sports Writer Do When The Teams Are Playing At Deadline? What am I doing? Well, I am sitting here trying to kill time and fill up space while our Aggie cag- ers, varsity and freshmen, are over at Austin playing the Uni versity of Texas basketeers. I can’t rush the game up so I can get it in this paper and I can’t say that Texas won, because I tried a stunt like that once and the other team won, and it would be my luck for the Aggies to win if I said Texas won. Maybe the best thing to do is take Jack Littlejohn’s advice and go down to Ed’s and drown my woes, or something. It looks like Marty Karow is on the outside for the Kansas Col lege head coaching job. They have invited three prospects to visit the council and Marty was not listed. Rice stepped out Monday and Tuesday nights and really took ■ -t FOR Eye Examination And Glasses Consult J. W.

During the last couple of years the other conference teams have lost their respect for the tall Porkers from the Ozarks in both football and basketball. LOTS OF CREDIT DUE TUMBLING TEAM FOR THEIR CLEVER SHOWS At all home conference basket ball games, the tumbling team pro vides fine entertainment between the halves. If they get a good hand they are proud and that is all they get for all their hard work. These boys go down to the gym most every afternoon and work long and hard so that they might give the fans a good show during the short time between halves. “Jo-Jo” White has asked that all major T men go to the studio and have their pictures made this week. The pictures are to be made with maroon slipover sweaters on. Saturday afternoon the four spring training teams will have another game scrimmage. Coach Norton has invited the public to come out and watch these practice games. We have noticed that no one man is hogging the basketball GREATER PALACE Saturday Preview, Sun, Mon, Tues.

ARROW UNDERWEAR Wrestling Takes Over Intramural Sports Show EXTENSION WORKERS ATTEND REGIONAL MEET A group from the recently Ex tension Service recently attended the four-state regional extension conference for Arkansas, Okla homa, Louisiana and Texas at Tex arkana. Miss Mildred Horton, vice—director and state home agent, went to Auburn, Alabama, and Roanoke, Virginia, for similar meetings. In the group were Director H. H. Williamson, George E. Adams, D. L. Weddington, Roy Snyder, G. Gi Gibson, W. YL. Scott, J. R. Wen- mohs, Misses Minnie Mae Grubbs, Myrtle, Murray, Bess Edwards, Laure Lane, and Louise Bryant, Mrs. Maggie Barry and Mrs. Dora R. Barnes. scoring this year. At this time the leading scorer has 108 points to his credit. It seems that if a man scores a lot of pronts in one game he is not able to even hit the backboard the next time on. Chuck Fenske has dethroned the great miler, Glen Cunningham. He has defeated the record-setter five times during recent months. Fenske is rapidly clinching a place for himself among the great milers of all times. The five times Cun ningham has been beaten have been in a row at the hands of the Wis consin flash. Jim Demaret, the Houston idol, has placed himself as the favorite to cop the Western Open in Houston . . . Colorado University athletes have signed a petition ask* ing for the discharge of Coach Bunny Oakes because of his treat ment of the players. He brought Colorado to the Cotton Bowl where he lost to Rice in 1937. Pictures of the Arturo Godoy- Joe Louis fight will be shown at the Palace in Bryan at the mid night show Saturday night and will be on regular run Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. Louis won a split decision, so you can go judge for yourself just who did win. Travis Nelson, the former Bryan high school flash, was injured in spring training at Baylor the other day. He is in the Hillcrest Me morial Hospital and is reported to be coming around OK. Ab Curtis, the pro official for Southwest Conference athletics, says that Texas will win the con ference in basketball. He says that Rice is not smart enough to beat the Steers. Take the above with a grain of salt . . . Curtis used to be a Tex as athlete.

The “what have you” team had about 11 or a hundred men on it and they played in five- minute shifts. They were about holding their own when they had 11 men on the floor at the same time. Tommie Vaughn said, “Heck, coach, I thought every team had 11 men on it.” INTERNAL REVENUE MAN ASSISTS TOWNSMEN The citizens of College Station will be able to get assistance in adjusting their income tax reports from March 4 to 9 inclusive.

NORTH GATE GREEN NEON SIGN BATTALION THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1940. PAGE 3 T Dance To Be Held On Friday,Mar.8 Sullivan May Play For Sports Dance At the meeting of the T Club Tuesday night, it was decided to have the T dance March 8 in the banquet room of the old mess hall. Johnny Sullivan was at the meeting and offered his orchestra for the night at an offer that will be hard to turn down, according to Joe White, president of the club. It was decided that all major sports lettermen and all minor sports lettermen who are seniors will be admitted free. Bids may be bought by all freshmen numer- almen, varsity squadmen and all juniors and seniors, but they must have dates before they will be al lowed in the dance. All varsity T men will be given an extra bid for an out-of-town guest. It is thought that most of these bids will go to football play ers from other schools in the Southwest Conference. The orchestra has not been se lected yet, but it will either be Johnny Sullivan or the Aggieland. On March 9, the day after the dance, the club will have their an nual sports day program which will consist of a baseball game and a football game. By that time Coach Marty Karow should have his baseball team in fair shape and they should put on an interesting battle. The football game will be the big game of the spring training season. By that time Coach Nor ton will have his 1940 conference defenders pretty well lined up. The players will demonstrate some of their plays and" will then hit the the grid for a full game. Bids for the dance will be $1.25 and the dance will last from nine till one. INTRAMURAL HIGHLIGHTS By HUB JOHNSON Wrestling came to the light last Monday and there seemed to be many entries that looked like they knew a good bit and yet there are still and always will be those who try without the least idea of what it’s all about. To these guys go a lot of congrats. It takes a little something to get out there and take a beating. At the same time there were a few forfeits still appearing now and then. Some were for over weight and some just plain for feits. It seems as if someone could do something to prevent these. G Coast Artillery was at long last acclaimed the winner of the League C touchfootball champion ship after playing three games with the runner-up, C Field Ar tillery. In the first, the Field team won with a score of 6 to 0, but the league finished in a tie. In the first game of the play-off, the two teams finished in a deadlock—no score and the same number of penetrations. In this last game, the Coast team won out with three 20-yard pene trations to the Field team’s one. In the quarter-finals of the handball playoff Gibbon, Dwyer, Parker, and Schutz (A. D.) marked up two wins to down B Field Ar tillery 2 to 1 and move another notch nearer the top. The winners for the B team were Mitchell and Nicks. Marsh, Kellog, Sharp, Burgess, McMahan, and Davis closed out A Signal Corps for C Coast Ar tillery, 3 to 0 in another of the quarter-final games. Was Godoy Cheated? Judge for Yourself From Film at Palace The fistic battle between Joe Louis and Arturo Godoy will be fought again at the Palace Theater at its Saturday midnight preview and next Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, when the official pictures, filmed from the ringside, will be shown. These films are of the most disputed fight in a decade. Many eye-witnesses of the fight firmly declare that Godoy was cheated out of the championship by a fluke decision of the judges. Some claim it was framed to pave the way to a million-dollar gate when the two meet again at Madi son Square Garden. Fifteen rounds of fast fighting as seen from a ringside seat, and commented on by a professional commentator. That is what is of fered in the film. It affords the public a chance to follow the fight game without the excessive prices at the gate, and an intelligent ex planation from a ringside seat. Lounge Opened For Seniors Taking M.E.
