V. Mercer, Prop. Javelinas Stop Work; Try Passing “Sacks” Mattingly Appears To Be Man A. & M. Must Watch By HUB JOHNSON Battalion Sports Editor This afternoon the Aggies op en that questionable season. The first game up and the one for “this week” will be the A. & I. Javelinas from the capital city of the King Ranch, Kingsville, Texas. With the Alamo Conference team already holding a one game ex perience over the Aggies and one in which they surprised the coun try by turning back Pop Warner’s strong San Jose scoring champ ions, the game has in the past week turned from one earler con sidered to be just another opener to one of acid test. The Javelinas turned away from the heavy practice Thursday and settled down to drills on deception plays and passing atacks. With the pass defense considered one of the Ijest ever to be possessed by an A. & I. team the Javelinas spent most of their time in preparing for the offensive. Last year, the Porkers stopped Sam Houston State Teach ers from nearing the pay dirt with their some 57 passes thrown and also stopped the same type of offense used by the West Texas State Teachers. The same mem bers of this defense system are back with the additional greats from St. Edwards. As for the line defense, a wall which allowed the Spartans only eight yards during the game last week. The forward line averages better than 195 pounds with five all-conference performers carrying the brunt of the load. The two stand outs of the back field will probably be “Sacks” Mat tingly in the fullback post and Leonard Hasenstab in the half back position throwing the passes. Behind “Sacks'* waiting the call will be J. P. Hillard who con verted against San Jose and also kicked the field goal for the three additional points. As for the Aggies, they will send W. J.

BATTALION SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28 PAGE 5 Intramurals Rules, Plans, and Scoring System Explained to Managers at Banquet BY BOB MYERS Very tasty food crossed many a palate in Sbisa Hall last Thursday night when the annual intramural managers banquet was thrown. Mr. W. L. Penberthy, head of the Phy sical Education department, was toastmaster for the evening and intro duced Lt. Col. Wat son, Commandant & PMST, who pro vided many minut es of interesting entertainment with his talk on army sports as they were back when men were men. Others at the speakers table in cluded Art Adamson, swimming coach, Dewey Hoke and Spike White of the intramural depart ment, and the three senior man agers: N. A. Ponthieux, “Slush” Williams, and Joe Windrow. After plates had been cleared away and the cigars torched up, Mr. “Penny” explained changes in rules, scoring systems, and plans for the coming season. After this, entry cards were passed out along with a request for the customary five “bucks” entrance fee. All in all it was a very successful banquet, both from the standpoint of food and subject matter. Myers A new type football is being used this year by the intramural Good Reserve Seats Scarce for Town Hall It was announced late yesterday afternoon after a thorough check that only a few choice reserve seat Town Hall tickets remain for sale. With requests for tickets coming in daily fi’om out of town a com plete sell out is predicted before the first number, which will be the Marine Band which will be here Thursday, October 3. Due to the large expected crowd all students are urged to get their tickets before coming to Guion Hall. These tickets may be secured now from all organization commanders; and from special salesmen in the project houses. to the field, much the same team that wore the maroon and white last year. Jim Thomason, Marion Pugh, De race Moser, and John Kimbrough will start in the backfield. Tommie Vaughn will hold down the center post with Charles Henke and Marshall Robnett at the guard positions. Ernie Pannell and Chip Routt will take the tackle posts, and Bill Bucahnan and Jim Ster ling start in the wing positions. department. It is made of fabric covered with rubber. The outstand ing characteristics of the new ball are its waterproofness, it is prac tically immune to skins from bouncing against the pavement and- walls, and is much easier to hold. Other than the difference in ma terial, the ball is the same; being regulation in size, weight and in flation. Many organizations are getting lined up for their first games by practicing each afternoon. As the time draws nearer, more and more of the teams will hit the field and courts to work out the kinks and build some plays that will stymie their opponents. Primary in the plans for this year is a desire for fewer forfeits —none if possible. Baylor University Band To Feature Swing Music With everything else in this top sy-turvy world changing fast, Bay lor University’s Golden Wave Band has come out with the startling statement that this year’s musical unit will introduce swing to the Baylor students in addition to its traditional classical and march mu sic. With a record breaking number of potential swingsters, 120, trying for places, Dr. R. D. Perry, new director of the band, stated that the Baylor band would lock horns and meet its competitors in any type or style of music in which they wish to indulge. “If it is swing they want, we’ll outswing them, if it is march music they want we will play that,” he said.

Paced by Captain James Giles, the Aggies promise to give the rest of the Southwestern Conference a good fight for the flag. Among newscomers, the leading candidate for a place on the team is Xavier Fernandez from Lima, Peru. Going by his record in the tennis court, he seems to be a sure shot for a reg ular spot on the team. At the age of 15 he was Junior Champ of Peru in singles and doubles. In April 1938, he was designated as number 3 player on the Peruvian Tennis Team winners of the South American Olympic Games. If he lives up to his reputation, Fernan dez will give the rest of the boys a hot fight for honors on the Ag gie team. Other prospects include: Bob Langford, a very promising and capable player, who has been in competion with such players as Don McNeil, present amateur champion, and Henry Boyter of the University of Texas. G. H. Guin, former Boys State Champion of Texas and a former member of the Freshmen Tennis Team at Rice Institute, A1 Krezdorn, letterman, 1939-40, B. C. Rogers, winner of second place at the Sweetwater Invitation Tournament, and player on the freshman team here last year, R. H. McLarn, varsity squad- jman last year and Ralph Eads, runner-up in doubles in the Texas Interscholastic Meet in 1937. With such bright prospects as mentioned above, the Aggies will be one of the leading contenders in the conference this year.

Perhaps he leaned too heavily on his natural gifts. Anyway he never added to them in college, but laughed things off—like the times his old-fashioned pen ran dry in classes and exams. Our bright alumnus is out in the world today—a man who could have given orders, he is taking them.
