During the lean years it was nice to be a letterman, but they didn’t have much to crow about as they were just also-ran boys.

Buy it for Easter, enjoy it for a long spring. CAMPUS CLEANERS L. a letterman is the greatest ambi tion of anyone. At nine o’clock Friday evening the athletes and some of their friends, about 150 in all, will start dancing to the music of the Ag- gieland. This is always a great dance and anyone who can rate a ticket is lucky. HENDERSON MOST VALUABLE Our vote goes to Bill Henderson as the most valuable basketball player on the Aggie team for the past year. Henderson was third in the league in scoring with 136 points. He played by far the most time of any Aggie basketeer and this alone leads us to think that the coach figured he was the best. (%/enderson Henderson was weak on defense a large part of the year, but plastered this pretty well towards the latter part of the season. He was a demon under the basket and he could shoot that ball. Hen derson had lots to overcome dur ing the year. He was a sophomore who had been a sensation all his life and he had a little trouble in getting set in the Aggie sys tem, but he did that and a lot more. Our vote has to go to the Houston lad for this honor. The basketball lettermen are to be congratulated on electing Bill Dawson captain for next year. They picked the right man and he is tickled to death. He will make as good a captain as the Aggies have ever had. I thought the tall “All-Scandinavian All-American” was going to burst out and leave some of the Crockett dew laying around the other night when the boys elected him!

Aggie Baseball Season Opens Friday Practice Now Under Way For First Game Aggie Nine To Meet Grand Prize Team Friday at 3:30 By Jimmy James The sound of the crack of the bat bouncing off baseballs can now be heard clear up to the main gates of Kyle Field as Aggie baseball practice gets under way. Marty Karow, Texas Aggie baseball coach, here lately has been a busy man, being also a football coach, Karow has been splitting his time between spring football practice and baseball. Busy as he may be, he, as well as the fans, are begin ning to suspicion that A. & M. might be the club to beat this season. Last year’s graduating class took away five of Marty’s lettermen. They were: Timmerman, Thrift, Karcher, Polanovich, and Williams. Of these, only two, Polanovich, and Williams were regulars. Another great loss came with the ineligi ble list posted at mid-term which had on its roll Chubby Nolen. As plans are now, Bob Stone will be shifted from his third base posi tion to fill Nolan’s spot and Mar- land Jeffrey will be moved to third. Hubert Moon, sophomore, is ex pected to fill Bob William’s old stomping grounds at first base. Hubert is the brother of “Bugga” Moon, Aggie catcher of a few seasons back. Although Coach Karow lost three pitchers this past year, his pitch ing staff looks strong again this season. The staff is composed of Roy Peden, Walter “Sam” Bass, Ralph Lindsey, Snipe Conley, and Charlie Stevenson and “Lefty” Bomper. The baseball season of 1940 will properly be initiated Friday at 3:30 when the Aggies compete with the Grand Prize Brewers of Hous ton at Kyle Field. This will be the beginning of a two game ser ies; the second game will be play ed Saturday at 1:00 p. m. as part of the T Club’s Finnish Relief Sports Day. The probable line up will be: catcher, Jack Doran or Red Kirkpatrick; first base, Hu bert Moon; second base, Jack Lind sey; shortstop, Bob Stone; third base, Jeffrey; left field, Marion Pugh; center field, Captain Dave Alsobrook; and right field, Jack Cooper. The probable pitching staff to be used could be any of the candidates. The first conference game will be with the Rice Owls of Houston here March 26. day and at three o’clock on Sat urdays. This year the Thursday and Friday games will start at 3:30 and the Saturday games at 2:30. The game this Saturday will start at one o’clock because of the other Sports Day events. The game Friday will start at 3:30. Ed Dreiss, track captain and hurdler deluxe, topped the timbers in 14.5 in practice the other day. That is pretty fair time in the middle of the season, let alone before the first meet. John Mc Lean, Ralph Henderson, and Red Cecil are others who are looking better than average at this time. There are several other good pros pects on the team and the Aggies are not going to be weak this year. Let’s Get This Straight, Mister! There are haircuts and HAIRCUTS.

Bill “Big Dog” Dawson Elected Captain Of Basketball Team by Cage Lettermen By Gene Oates The basketball season came to an end Monday night when Coach and Mrs. H. R. McQuillan enter tained the team with a supper at their home. During the evening the nine lettermen elected Bill “Big Dog” Dawson captain for the 1940-41 season. Lettermen for the past season are Bill Henderson, Jude Smith, J. T. Lang, Harold Duncan, Billy Joe Adams, Woody Varner, Tom mie Tinker, Charlie Stevenson and Dawson. These men have not been official ly lettered, but they were the ones who cast votes and only letter- men are allowed to vote. All of these men have played the re quired number of minutes to let ter. Dawson could not make a speech after his election, but the grip of his hand as he was congratulated did his talking for him. Those attending the banquet were Dawson, Henderson, Lang, Steven son, B.

INTRAMURAL HIGHLIGHTS By HUB JOHNSON ‘Twas a hot gym last night with the many onlookers sweating and blowing as they yelled and coached from the stands trying to help the some 32 final entries in the championship wrestling bouts. The complete results will be given on the next trip. The Shultz twins puzzled the A Chemical Warfare boys and spurred on E Field Artillery to mark up its second win of the speedball schedule. B Field Artillery marked up a third win but has one loss to its record. Headquarters Signal Corps is the pace-setter of this league with two wins and no losses. E Engineers took a forfeit from A Signal Corps and C Field Ar tillery set a pace over Headquar ters Cavalry to win its second 12 to 3. This gives the C team a record of two wins and one tie. In the ancient game of horse shoe slinging B Chemical Warfare set back F Coast Artillery 2 to 1; 3rd Combat Train Field Artil lery took a forfeit from E Infan try; A Coast Artillery closed out C Engineers 3 toO; and F Engi neers took another step to regain its foothold by defeating B Signal Corps, 2 to 1, and mark up its second win. Second Combat Train closed out C Cavalry two games to none in volleyball to raise its average to .666 for the schedule. B Engi neers and K Infantry also closed out opponents D Infantry and 1st Headquarters Field Artillery, re- | spectively. Third Headquarters There used to be a song about a broken heart for every light on B’Way. The ratio has changed of recent years. There are now four to a light. Three male, one female. Field defeated D Cavalry 2 to 1; L Infantry topped the Infantry Band, and B Coast Artillery down ed Headquarters Signal Corps by the same score. Friday night the sluggers, the greenhorns, and the true-to-form boxers will start putting it out. That is, as far as it is known now, they will. The delay has been in waiting for the new gloves ordered for the matches. m Is YOUR Life BALANCED? Remember, all work and no play makes Jack a pretty dull boy! Putting some of your spare time into real fascinating fun is important in getting the most out of college.
