They also sang “God Bless Amer ica”, during the program, and con cluded by singing “The Spirit of Aggieland”, alma mater song of Texas A. & M. Intramurals- (Continued from Page 3) Good team-work and ball getting allowed Griffith to cash in on his shooting ability to the extent of 18 points when A Engineers added a notch to their basketball record by downing H Infantry 26-6. FORFEIT DOGHOUSE A CAVALRY C ENGINEERS E ENGINEERS Handballers Derrick, Faulk, Drumwright, and Covington gath ered in two matches to cinch a game for B Engineers when they played G Field Artillery Friday. Wagner and Hancock took the third match and limited the score to 2-1. Another 2-1 game ended in favor of B Coast Artillery when Gillette, King, Gillis, and Azier won two matches from L Infantry. The other match was taken care of by the fast playing combination of Mills, Rideout, Kerby, and Beard. Dougherty-Hill and Cokinos- White had tough going to down the boys from A Chemical Warfare 2-1 for H Field Artillery and found Overbeck and Swain a- little too ready when they won a match for the “test-tubers”. Fourth Corps Headquarters is (Continued from Page 3) mark the score board 7 to 0. The second quarter was a “see saw” affair, with the ball trav eling through the air time and again, with Kimbrough intercept ing one on the Aggies’ 7 and carry ing it to the Arkansas 49. The half ended with the score 7-0. Conatser, led by great block ers, set the stage for the next points early in the third period as he raced from his 45 to the Ar kansas 19 on a punt run back. The Aggies took to the air and then returned to the ground where they were stopped hard by Sim- ington and Bynum of the Razor- backs. Jake Webster entered the game to try for a field goal with the ball on the 17 yard line and close to the side line on the west side of the field, Webster booted the ball right through the posts to change the score 10-0. Here the haze took its leave and many a soul rested a bit easier. Back came the Aggies, striking quick as Kimbrough intercepted •another aerial and Jeffrey sailed an end zone pass to Sterling. Rob- nett kicked the extra point, and the Aggies held the 17 to 0 lead the remainder of the game. In the final quarter Hamberg connected with Haynes, Pitts and Frieberger to threaten for the Hogs. On the six yard line the Aggie line buckled down and held for four tries. From then on time passed fast as Norton sent a unit of substi tutes into the game for the clos ing minutes. The Razorbacks made 16 first downs to seven for A. & M. They picked up seven rushing, six on passes, and three on penalties, to four on rushing and three on pen alties for the Aggies. A. & M. gained 90 yards rushing to the Razorback’s 76 and passed for 95 while the Hogs took to the air for 151. On Kyle Field (Continued from Page 3) took to the huddle and then to the line but with the snap of the ball, an outroar of the same chatter so well known wherever the twelfth man goes came across the field. For many years we’ve been criti cized for the unsportsman like act and now the change has been made. What we’re wondering now is what fault the “unknown they” will find with the Aggie corps or their team next? Saturday a week ago the South west Conference played a double crossing hand, but this week we came through with three of four correct callings although the scores were off on a few. We called all seven of the here and there games correct, so as Williamson says, this ought to bring the average up a good bit. Arkansas failed to score on the Aggies but they did just about everything else while the cadets played a great defensive game. Little Texas A. & I. came near taking up the Sam Houston Bear cat roll and held the Rice Owls to a 6-6 tie until the last seconds. A field goal by Bob Brumbley gave it still going strong and took a tennis game from the hard driving Fifth Corps Headquarters team 2-1. Beard and Pump won their match while Mills and Patterson took one the easy way. On the loser’s side we find Ezzel and Cooper taking the winning match. “Fish” Newberry saved the day for C Infantry by sinking one just as the whistle blew to end their basketball game with E Coast Ar tillery. The basket broke a 3-3 tie and left the game ending 5-4 in favor of the Infantry. EXPERT SHOE We rebuild your shoes so that they look and fit as good as when they were new.
