CHAMPION OWLS GET FIRST

Half time score saw the board,
Texas 24, Owls 16.
Kinney was closely guarded un
til the last part of the game but
still managed to get in some 12
points to tie up with Granville and
Kutner for high pointers. Carswell,
the feathered flash, was held to
but one free throw. ,
Hub McQuillan’s boys will find
a different team of Rice cagers in

CLOCKIERS
COLLEGE and BRYAN I
The Texas Aggies will conclude
practice tomorrow night in prep
aration for their opener with the
powerful Rice Owls at Houston.
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.

A new high in attendance for

the season-ending Cotton Bowl
Classic are schduled to grace the
gridiron once more before getting
their much needed and much de
served rest.
This time the well known jer

bers of the famed Aggie elevens of
1939-40, but will instead be filled
by class A intramural athletes
from the student body.

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

and uniforms and playing field
equipment are by courtesy of the
Athletic department.

States Opinion On
Benefit Football Game
Editor’s note—In reference to
the charity football game to be
played next week, we run a var
sity's opinion of the contest.
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

independent laboratory tests of the smoke itself
XT'OR many a year your taste and your tongue
F told you there was something distinctive about
Camels... something you just couldn’t seem to
find in any other cigarette.
Then scientific research told you Camels were
slower-burning. You learned that this slower way
of burning meant more mildness, more coolness,
and more flavor in the smoke.
Now, new tests—impartial laboratory tests of
the smoke itself—confssm still another advantage
of Camel’s slower burning: Less nicotine in the
smoke. Less than any of the four other largest-
selling brands tested—28% less than the average!
And when independent laboratory tests reveal
such a distinct advantage for one brand of ciga
rettes over all the others tested—that’s worth your
looking into—right now!
Try the slower-burning cigarette . . . try
Camels. Compare them . . . compare them by
smoking them. The smoke’s the thing!
