Oates Second, Anderson Next To Last
In Record College Station Vote
Ole Oates was second and Col
onel Frank Anderson next to last
in the mayor’s race Tuesday. Oates
got the large number of 12 votes,
probably including his own, and
Anderson received 461. That is a-
bout 38 to 1 if it was in a box
score.
Seriously speaking, if it did no
thing else it brought the College
Station people to the poll to vote
as they should do. In the last elec
tion there were only 104 votes
cast and this time there were 478.
That is a lot of difference.
Colonel Anderson will no doubt
make an excellent mayor and the
people of College Station are to
be complimented on their choice
and their support.
More than 12 people told me
yesterday that they had voted
for me. I wonder where those other
votes went to. My roomie told me
that enough guys had told him
that they voted for him in the

Starting today there will be
sports of all kinds for the rest
of the week. The baseball team
plays today, Friday and Saturday.
The pistol team has a match with
the Department of Public Safety
Friday and Saturday. The rifle
team will shoot a shoulder-to-
shoulder match with the girls
from C. I. A. The polo team will
play some undecided team Friday
and Sunday. The Boxing Club will
box the University of Texas Box
ing Club Saturday night. The
swimming team will compete in the
conference swimming meet Fri
day and Saturday nights. The ten
nis team is due to meet someone
Saturday, probably Sam Houston.
The golf team will have a match.
And if that is not enough there
will be some fencing. Add this to
the INFANTRY BALL, always a
big blowout, and you have a full
weekend of fun.
It looks like “Bama” Smith is
just the thing the doctor ordered
for the dash division of the Aggie
track team. He ran a 9.4-second
100-yard dash the other day. Of
course he had a strong wind with
him, but that is still breezing a-
long. He was several yards ahead
of Red Cecil at the finish and
Red can step fast enough to out
run a cop.

The first thing she’ll notice about this Palm
Beach Evening Formal is the way it puts you at
ease — in fact it’s the first thing you’ll see for your
self when you note its comfortable fit and carefree
lines. It’s as easy to wear as any coat in your closet,
but probably a lot smarter.
Broad shoulders — close fitting collar, drape
that accents height — and coolness that keeps you
fresh and smiling through the hottest night.
Just the set-up for after six. Just the set-up for
a modern investment in good appearance.

The Aggie baseball team will
meet T. C. U. here this afternoon
in the first of the two-game
stand with the fray being called at
1:00 o’clock on account of the mil
itary review.
Coach Marty Karow has indicat
ed that he will start Charlie Stev
enson on the mound for the cadets.
Stevenson won the opening game
against Rice here last week.
The teams/ will play their second
game here Friday afternoon, start
ing at 3:30, the regular time for
games other than Saturday frays.
The Houston Buffaloes of the Tex
as League will be here for a game
Saturday.
T. C. U. has a veteran ball club
and Coach Karow expects them
to be tough. A recent new release
from T. C. U. indicated that the
Frogs are figuring on second place
this season, and if that is the case
they can’t afford to lose these
games.
It is expected that Woodrow
Duckworth will be the pitcher the
Frogs will use in the opening game
with Durward Horner being saved
for the following day.
The Frogs have batting strength
in Abney Dennis, and Ralph Tank-
ersley, Don Looney, and Mac West.
It is to be remembered that the
Frogs gave the cadets much trou
ble in their game last season.
Karow has shifted Jeffrey to
the outfield in hopes of getting
more batting strength. That leaves
Pugh on first.
Last week T. C. U. opened its
conference season with a brace of
games against S. M. U. The teams
split the series, but little could
be told from them as the strength
of S. M. U. is not known, and then
too it was the first conference
games for both teams.

INTRAMURAL
HIGHLIGHTS
By HUB JOHNSON
It’s a funny thing about for
feits. In Class A water polo this
year there were 70 teams not to
appear for scheduled games while
in touch football only four for
feits were registered. Some 1,297
different men competed in touch-
football games while 686 played
in the water game.
Last year there were only 958
to compete in touch-football and
there were 21 forfeits. This shows
a gain of 339 players or 35 per
cent and a betterment of over 500
per cent in the actual playing of
games.
Here and there on the fields . . .
Doc Hobrecht, Fred Richmond,
and Dick Phillips leading the 2nd
Hq. Field speedball team to a 7
to 3 win over Ed Ivey’s B Chem
Warfare . . . E Field Artillery
with a good reserve defeating the
Infanry Band 2 to 1 in volleyball
. . . Bob Galt and John Spangler
and company claiming a horseshoe
match with a 2 to 1 win over the
1st Combat Train Field . . . B In
fantry winning 3 to 0 over C Cav
alry . . . and five ping-pong games
in the Class A bracket, all played
in the way of just plain fun.
Ping-pong games have been
scheduled for those teams who care
to enter the tournament. The final
standing will not count this year
towards the banners nor will
points be given. The tournament
is just an experiment and all for
those who have more spare time
than that used in other games.

Fish and Varsity
Polo Teams Play
Match Here Friday
A preview of A. & M.’s polo
team for next year will be shown
on Jackson Field Friday at 3:00
when the Fish tangle with the
Varsity. This should be an inter
esting match as some of the mem
bers of the Freshman team came
to Aggieland as seasoned players.
McGowan and Muerhead, who
were formerly with the Shreve
port Polo and Riding Club, will
be in the starting lineup along
with Buie from Corpus Christi,
and Braid who hails from San
Antonio. Irving, a cadet from El
Paso, will see service in several
periods of play. This team has
shown up well in practice and is
expected to give the Varsity a
long, hard, ride. Positions one,
two, three, and four will be held
down by McGowan, Buie, Braid,
and Muirhead respectively.
Playing for the Varsity will be
Williams at number one, Barry
number two, Jones number three,
and McDonald number four. This
is the team that won the South
west Conference Championship in
view of the fact that A. & M. has
the only team in this conference.
Despite the lack of competition
; in this area however, the Aggies
! j have a championship team as has
! been evidenced in their many
'J games with veteran teams.
City Council Holds
Special Meeting
The City Council of College Sta
tion met Tuesday night, April 2
in a special meeting to receive
ballots from the election of city
officials. The council also author
ized repair and construction work
on the loop in the water main be
tween Ewell Road, College Park,
and Oakwood.
The council passed an ordinance
requiring building permits. In
keeping the normal maintenance of
the roads, a truck and crew is now
patching holes in the roads on the
North Side, Oakwood, College Hills
Estates, and College Park.
Careful workmanship,
budget - minded prices,
pjrompt service — these
are reasons why so many
A. & M. students use and
recommend our cleaning
services.

Each of the eight Aggie minor
sports teams to compete in the
first sports festival here Friday,
Saturday, and Sunday is putting
on the finishing touches in pre
paration for a stiff contest.
The festival is one of the first
ever to be held in this section of
the country and has already been
recognized by some sports mentors
as a step towards the recognition
of some of the minor games and
the boosting of interest of others.
Polo Team To Defend Record
Major Burnett’s polo four will
be defending their record against
the hard riding Lampasas team
who they defeated earlier this
year. The Aggie polo team has es
tablished a name for itself over
this section and has made great
showing against many of the best
teams of the South. All of their
home games are played on Jack-
son Field on the Sulphur Spring
Road northwest of the ‘Y’ cabin.
T.S.C.W. To Enter Team
Saturday morning the first femi
nine team to ever compete against
the Aggies in a sports event will
arrive here from Denton. A strong
girls’ rifle team from the A. &
M. sister school will offer its best
against the Hearst Trophy win
ners of 1940.
State Police To Fire
The Texas Department of Public
Safety team which has fired here
several times previously will fur
nish the competition for Captain
Enslow’s champion pistol team.
The troopers are said to be the
best liked competitors of the Ag
gie team. One of the members is
Linksmen to Face Bryan
Henry Hauser and Bill McMahon
will lead the Aggie golfers against
a strong team composed of pros
and amateurs of College Station
and Bryan. This will be a good
match in preparation for the Rice
Owls here April 12.
Boxers Fight Texas U.
A combination of the intramural
champs and the boxing club will
face the Texas University scrap
pers Saturday night in the first
match of the year for the Aggie
boxers. The Texas team has enter
ed many tournaments and defeat
ed the Temple District Golden
Glove Champs last week. For a
good show and a lot of heavy
fighting, this should fill the bill.
Conference Swimming Meet
With the withdrawal of Rice,
T.C.U. and Arkansas, Saturday
night will prove ample time for
the running of the Southwest Con
ference Swimming Meet.
The Aggies claimed a bear skin
from Baylor and the losers in
turn defeated Southern Methodist.
Texas and A. & M. have competed
and the Aggies came out on the
narrow end so it appears that the
meet will be between the Long
horns and the Aggies.
Other Teams To Play
The fencing team will either face
the Baylor Bears or the Southern
Methodist foils. Galveston’s Moody
Club has just returned home from
a four day trip to Dallas and at
present are unable to come here.
Manning Smith’s tennis squad
will travel to Huntsville to compete
with the Sam Houston Bearkats.
This match was scheduled some
time ago and so far can not be
changed.
