-With Hub Johnson-
Tomorrow night in Sbisa Hall
members of the Aggie T Club and
seniors will dance to the rythm of
—no not the Aggie band or the
yelling of the corps, but for a
change to that of Johnny Sullivan
and his orchestra.
It will be the first time in the
history of the club that the seniors
have been offered an open invi
tation. In the past special invita
tions were sent to various mem
bers of the fourth year class, but
this year it was decided that a
gathering such as the one planned
would go down in the books as
the best yet—one to give the se
niors and the athletes who have
represented them on the field and
floor a chance to have one fling
together.
The Beaumont exporters are
scheduled for the first tilt for the
Aggie nine tomorrow on Kyle Field.
The strength and power of the
cadet club is still undetermined but
will depend on the ability of the
pitching and catching staff.

Threatened in
Saturday’s Meet
Triangular Meet to
Include Baylor, A & M
And Southern Methodist
The Texas Aggies will get a
chance to witness some of the most
talent-filled swimming meets of
Southwest Conference competition
Saturday night at 7:30 free of
charge when swimming teams rep
resenting Baylor, S.M.U., and A.
& M. splash in a triangular meet
in P. L. Downs, Jr., Natatorium.
Records are in line for a rough
night with these stars of the tanks
beating the water in lightning
time.
Spotlight of the meet will be
on Hensley of Texas A. & M. and
Sinclair of S.M.U. in the 50 and
100-yard free style races. These
two boys have met twice in the
past and each has clinched a vic
tory. New records were set in both
encounters. Sinclair holds the
Southwest A.A.U. indoor meet re
cord while Hensley is Southwest
Conference champion. They met
when Sinclair was swimming for
the Dallas Athletic Club.
In the 100-yard breaststroke, S.
M.U.’s Montgomery and A. & M.’s
Ponthieux will meet agan after
swimming against each other when
Montgomery was also with the Dal
las A. C. Honors for both races
go to Dallas, but they were close
enough to show that either swim
mer was capable of victory.
Baylor University will pit their
Texas A.A.F. diving champion,
Young, against chunky “Bubba”
Reeves of Aggieland. Young is re
cognized as one of the most cap
able divers in southwestern swim
circles, while Reeves was State
High School champion in 1937 and
has given great performances for
A. & M.
Downs Natatorium will mark
another spectacular presentation
into the tile with this meet of the
champions Saturday night.
Polo Team Begins
Season of Activity
A. & M.’s polo team began an ex
tensive road schedule yesterday
when they encountered the Big
Springs Polo Club in Big Springs
and they meet several more oppon
ents before returning to Aggieland.
This afternoon they clash with
Lamesa and then journey to New
Mexico for two games with N.M.
M.I. on the 14th and 16th. Swinging
back to Texas, they will play either
Big Springs or Lamesa a return
game.
Major Stevens led a full roster
of Aggie mallet stars when Lee
Rice, Carl Maloney, Bill Braid,
Captain Sid McDonald, McGowan
and Hart were nominated to make
the trip. These men constitute the
power of A. & M.’s squad and they
will match evenly with their best
opponents.
Making the trip by automobile,
fatigue may plague them, but they
will be giving their best in an at
tempt to bring home a few wins.
Their improved play and great
spirit creates a polo club that can
go under all adverse conditions.
A collection of 7,500 volumes on
Hebrew medieval literature has
been presented to the Library of
City college, New York.
D. Comer S. Woodward, profes
sor of sociology at Emory uni

Aggie Nine Opens Season
t Tomorrow With Beaumont
Wrestling Champs Decided Tuesday; No
Announcement Until Results Completed
By Bob Myers
New college wrestling champions
were decided Tuesday night in
DeWare Field House when the
finalists came through with a
driving finish.
Three men from G Coast Artil
lery were crowned
during the course
of the matches.
First of this group
to win was Ball
lf| who took Crist, F
m§ Engineers, for the
| 119 pound title af
ter five minutes of
wrestling. Immed
iately following
this match, Dur-
Myen ham, also of G
Field, outlasted Little, F Coast
Artillery, to annex the 129 pound
title. Ogdee, G Field Artillery, de
feated Kiser, M Infantry, in the
last event of the evening and by so
doing, came away with the 179
■pound class championship.
Prowell and Newton, E Field Ar
tillery claimed the 169 and 139
pound class respectively for their
organization. The third E Field
man in the finals was Donnell.
He found Vick’s, C Engineers,
“Tulsa Ride” just a little too much
to cope with however, and had to
be content with a runner-up. The
“Tulsa Ride” is a combination of
a piggy-back ride and a hammer-
lock in a horizontal position. It
is a brain child of Vick’s and gave
him the advantage that resulted in
a pin and the 159 pound title.
Crawford, F Engineers, and Mer
ritt, Machine Gun Cavalry, were
tied up with 28 seconds advan
tage apiece at the end of the five
minute period and elected to
wrestle two additional advantage
periods. Crawford won the champ
ionship on time advantage in the
overtime period.

Team Has Competed in Two
Meets; Won One 1st Place
With two meets behind them and
but one first place claimed in
the total, the Texas Aggie track
team leaves tomorrow for Fort
Worth to take part in the Annual
Southwest Meet.
In Laredo last Friday, Texas
proved to be the ruler of the cin
der track and renewed its claim
the following day in San Antonio.
Roy Bucek in the hurdles carried
the Aggie colors to the top in the
border run but fell behind his
follower, Pete Owens of Howard
Payne Saturday.
Coach Dough Rollins plans to
take complete squads of varsity and
freshman runners to the “Cow
Town” meet, with the fish sched
uled to he in the heat of the track
events.
Captain Jim Thomason placed
third in the shot put In Alamo City
behind entrees from Howard Payne
and Southwest Texas. In 1939 Jim
was top man in the conference in
this event. His returning to top
form would place the Aggies high
er up the ladder.
Earl (Bama) Smith will cover
the 100- and 220-yard dashes and
run one leg of the relays.

Intra-Squad Game
Wednesday Leaves
Team in Good Form
Coach Marty Karow’s Aggie nine
will hear “play ball” tomorrow
afternoon as the cadets meet
the Beaumont Exporters in the
season’s opener.
The game Wednesday put the
squad in fine shape for the tussle
Friday afternoon, and unless in
juries develop during practice
the squad will be on hand in tip
top shape.
Manager Goi’don Hinkle of the
Beaumont Exporters, in drawing
up his player list for the jaunt
to Aggieland, said he would prob
ably take along a bulky squad of
20 or more. This will give the
Exporters plenty of reserves to
draw from.
In making a statement to the
press, manager Hinkle said, “It
would disturb me greatly if my
boys were unable to manufacture
.a few tallies at College Station
Friday.”
The Exporters are a professional
team and a member of the Texas
League. Last year when the Aggies
met the exporters, the game was
played at Beaumont.
Nine Aggie batsmen are ready
for the game and are determined
to give the pro’s a remembrance
that they have played the cadets.
Game time has been called for
3:30 p.m. at Kyle Field.

BY BURNING 25% SLOWER
than the average of the 4 other largest-selling brands
tested—slower than any of them—Camels also give
you a smoking plus equal, on the average, to
5 EXTRA SMOKES PER PACK!
LESS NICOTINE
than the average of the 4 other largest-
selling brands tested — less than any of
them — according to independent scien
tific tests of the smoke itself
TT’S simple logic: You get nothing from a cigarette until
A you light it. For the qualities you enjoy are in the smoke
itself. The smoke’s the thing.
And those qualities depend considerably upon the way
your cigarette burns.
Camels burn slower—definitely. That’s a well-established
scientific finding. That means Camels give you extra mild
ness, extra coolness, extra flavor.
Now science confirms another important advantage of
slower burning — extra freedom from nicotine in the smoke!
And the smoke’s the thing!
Your dealer is featuring Camels at an attractive carton
price. For convenience, for economy — buy by the carton.
