Six Aggies Named In Battalion All-Southwest Hartman, Whitlow, Simmington, Russell And Brumley Place By Hub Johnson To the list of all-star teams goes the Battalion’s today. Six Aggies dominate the team, while three men from Rice, one from Baylor and one from Arkan sas round out the eleven. The backfield is filled with pow er. It boasts the leading passer of the league and the greaset back ever to come from these parts. Kimbrough and Brumley have all the drive any coach would want in his backfield. Thomason has led the way to many touchdowns and large gains. Pugh has passed the Aggies on when the ground attack failed to gain with ease. He has called game after game without er ror. For the punting we would prob ably have to rely on Thomason. Layden, Conatser, Johnston, and Bruley were all in the class from which to pick the fourth player. Saturday Johnston took the back seat, while the Rice star carried on, even though the Ponies claimed the game. Conatser with his punt ing and great running pushed the Owl gridder hard but evened up with Layden for the second berth. The line has on its ends one junior and one sophomore. Sterl ing from the Aggies has proven his worth on defensive play as well as on the offense while Russell of the Bears takes over the other post. Pannell and Hartman take the tackle posts with records that tend to crowd that of Joe Boyds’. Robnett was an undisputed holder of one of the guard posts. The other was to be taken by Bassett of the Owls, Henke of the Ags, Sher rod of T.C.U., or Simmington of the Razorbacks. Due to Simington’s skill in place kicking and his bol stering of the Hog’s line, he takes the post. Due to his skill in place kick ing as shown especially in the Mis sissippi game and his part in bol stering the Hog’s line, Simington takes the post. Rice Institute’s Whitlow gets the center post due to the letdown in Nelson’s play and his transfer to tackle for the one game. Pope of S.M.U. and Vaughn of the Ag gies were also considered for the spot but failed to show up as did the Rice line star. The second and third teams are $5.00 For Picture of Month Goes to FRED R.

In 1933 newspapermen became interested in this hobby, and Wil liamson’s statistics were published locally in New Orleans, later taken up for syndication by United Fea ture Syndicate. Williamson was one of the ori ginal group who formed the New Orleans Midwinter Sports Associa tion, sponsors of the annual Sugar Bowl game. He is still an official of that organization. The football expert is married and has three children. Besides predicting football games, his pro fession is that of oil engineer and geologist, stationed in New Orleans, where he is famous for discovering oil-bearing deposits in Louisiana.

In an eighth final game F Field Artillery took another step to ward the finals when Boyd, Pat terson, Bailey, and Hutchens made the ball bounce in their favor to take the 5th Corps Headquarter Cooper, Conway, and Davis combin ed for 5 CHQ’s singleton. B Signal Corps evidently doesn’t intend to be “knocked off” in or der to let last year’s football champions repeat and turned back F Engineers 6-0 to prove it. The game was close though, with pen etrations tied at one 40 and one 20 each. Their game with H Field Artillery will tell whether or not they go into the playoff. A Engineers cashed in on a 40 yard pass to gather in six points that matched D Cavalry’s six and came from behind to take the game on penetrations. D Troop set up their counter on a blocked kick that was recovered, recovering on the 2 yard line. A pass, Callahan to Ellis paid off. Both conversions failed. Darnell, Gous, Jackson, and Bem- ish won a 2-0 tennis match for A Signal Corps when they out played the bunch from E Eng ineers. 2-1 match ended in favor of G Coast Artillery when Keese, Mc- Kemie, Tillery, and Guill got hot and took two gemes. Seigel and Harrison cashed in for the Sigs. Teams from Machine Gun Cav alry and E Field outsplashed the Headquarters Signal Corps and I Field Artillery by scores of 2-0 and 4-0 respectively when they took to the cool water of Downs Natatorium in opening water polo games. E Infantry played heads up football and won over 3rd Corps Headquarters 9-6 by taking full advantage of every opportunity. Their nine points resulted from a touchdown, conversion, and a safe ty.
