With the final baseball at Waco gone with the wind, the Aggie athletes prepare to face a more dreadful foe—one that has enveloped more than one man in this institution. I’m talking about the final exams. All this sounds somewhat grue some, but it really isn’t half as bad as it sounds. A little more studying and a little fewer trips to Uncle Ed’s should get everyone of the sweater-men over the hump without too much trouble. —o— ANNUAL SOFTBALL TWILIGHT GAMES IS NEXT AGGIE SPORT The only sport between now and football is the annual twilight soft- ball tilts, which come off during the summer session. These games afford many of the boys on the campus a real treat, and as a re sult teams are made up and divid ed into leagues. The local and Bry an merchants sponsor this enter prise, and by the end of the sum mer season each and everyone will have a grand time. —o— HENDERSON FIRST MAN IN HISTORY TO GET 4 LETTERS Highlight of the release of let- termen by the athletic department is the naming of Bill Henderson''to four major sports.

The team has been picked aft er serious consideration of each man’s merit during this season by The Battalion sports staff. Starting off at first base, we have the Texas Aggies’ depend able captain, Marion Pugh. He has been, undoubtedly, the best fielding first sacker in the league, and just did beat out Kemper Kaiser, Rice Institute’s ace first baseman. His hitting at the start of the season was the bright spot in the cadet offensive, but he slumped in his last games. Jack Stone and Doc Smith of Texas University easily had it over the field at second and third base (Continued on Page 4) FOR SOMEONE YOU LOVE May we suggest that you give GRADUATION PICTURES It’s only a small gift, yet it can mean so much.

Holick Cleaners BEN YOUNGBLOOD, Mgr. 1 I i ! i \ I i i \ i i ! i i i By Jack Hollimon After knocking that little white ball around polo fields from Lou isiana to New Mexico and Okla homa to old Mexico, Texas A. & MJ.’s mounted foursome hung up their mallets officially last week when they elected a captain and a new manager for next year at a meeting of the club and coaches. Lettermen were announced by Ma jor J. F. Stevens and he express ed the sentiments of A. & M. as a whole when he thanked the boys for their hustle and efforts of 1940-1941. Carl Maloney of Goliad, a jun ior in Headquarters Troop Caval ry, was elected captain for next year, while Clyde Raley of Den ton, a junior in Machine Gun Troop Cavalry, was re-elected team man ager. Maloney has held down number two position on the regular quar tet for two years and his play has been a contributing factor in suc cesses of the team. Noted for his loose riding that carries him into action wit hease, Maloney spends his time away from school on a ranch near his home town. Raley, playing manager for the team this year and a hard-work ing asset to the entire organiza tion, has found the worries of let ter-writing, keeping equipment to gether, checking mounts and rid ers all to his liking and his job has been well done.
