The Cadets, who are regarded as the “dark horse” of the confer ence race, will attempt to knock the Owls off their high perch and thus revenge themselves for the two defeats the Owls plastered on them last season. A. & M.’s main problem will be stopping “Bat ’Em” Bob Kinney, towering center of the Owls, and fast Frankie Carswell, two-time all-conference. Both men have carried the brunt of the Owl de fense in preseason games, and are due to be in top shape for the Ag gie fray. Other men who should bear watching are two hustling sophomores, Bill Gloss and Harold Lambert. These two are apt to cause plenty of trouble before the final gun sounds. Meanwhile, Coach Hub McQuillen will rely mainly on Captain Bill Dawson and lanky Bill Hender son. Both men have missed most of the early games due to football, but are ready and “rarin” to go. Raymond Klutz and R. B. Bayer, hard fighting sophomores, should be in top shape, and add a number of points to the Aggie cause. The other starter will be rotund Char lie Stevenson, likeable guard, who should prove a valuable asset to the Cadet quintet. Aggie stock took a turn for the better when the Texas Longhorns sprung an upset upon the Houston squad last Tuesday night at Aus tin, 48 to 37. The A. & M. Rice fracas will be played Saturday night at Houston and a large crowd is anticipated for the tilt. School’s First Golden Glove Match Is Formed For the first time in history of the school, students of A. & M. will have active participation in the National Golden Gloves Tourn ament. Tom Taylor and Paul Lowry have formed an association of lo cal business men and citizens of this vicinity. This association will handle all details and present local champions with awards and the opportunity to enter the Fort Worth matches to which all expen ses will be paid. Boxing will reach a new high in talent and fervor when the Al len Academy Boxing team, Dick Menchacha, National Champion in 1940, Aggie champions, and other outstanding pugilists face each other in the four-cornered ring. Entry blanks will be run in this paper next week and these will be handled by the local association. All men contemplating becoming participants are urged to begin training. The best condition pos sible will be necessary because of the quality of the contest. • Local winners will go to Fort Worth for the State Finals and winners there will be sent to Chic ago for the National Finals. All expenses are met by the associa tion after leaving the local meet.

Rollins Says Track Team As Good as Last Year Bucek and Smith Should Be Standout Stars for the Aggies By Jimmie Parker < Coach Dough Rollins, track coach, when interviewed Wednesday, said that he believes his Aggie cinder squad to be as good or better than his 1940 edition which finished fourth in Southwest Conference last year. Coach Rollins said he couldn’t say just what kind of prospect he would have until the mid term ex ams were over, for they have been wrecking the track team for the past seasons. In the dashes and hurdles the Aggies are in good shape. Roy Bucek should be in the top flight of conference hurdlers. He placed third in the highs and fourth in the low hurdles last year. Earl (’Bama) Smith, according to Coach Rollins, could be the best sprinter in the conference, the only thing he needs is confidence. This boy had never run track until last year and he placed in both dashes in the conference meet. If Smith makes up his mind to win the dashes he will be hard to beat.

This time the well known jer seys will not cover the bruises of the men who gained national re cognition for their services as mem bers of the famed Aggie elevens of 1939-40, but will instead be filled by class A intramural athletes from the student body. Election of Players These players will be selected by the organization intramural man agers and are limited to three men from each outfit. The method of division will be on equal basis: the White team to be composed of men selected from the Coast Artillery, Cavalry, Field Artillery, the Bands, and the maroon team is to come from the Engineers, Signal Corps, Chemical Warfare, Infantry, and all corps headquarters. This allo cation was made on a number of men basis and grand totals found the two teams with approximately equal numbers of players. Coaches Coaches Charlie DeWare and Brama Jones have donated their services as head coaches for the two teams and will select their as sistants from Varsity footballers. DeWare is taking the Whites and Jones is with the Maroons. Field officials are to be furnished by the physical education department and uniforms and playing field equipment are by courtesy of the Athletic department.

By Charlie Henke Football was thought to be a thing of the past for the next few months until yesterday when it was announced that the senior class would sponsor a charity game here on Kyle Field. With the varsity football play- s barred from the contest, the game should prove of great in terest to the remainder of the students and residents of Bryan (Continued on Page 4) ior Class president Tom Richey and Battalion Sports Editor Hub John- Fencing Team Has “Johnny Apollo” For Benefit Picture Aggieland’s men of the foil and saber, the A. & M.
