AGS HAVE ONE MORE TEST—
THE FINAL EXAMINATIONS
It’s all over now but the shout
ing as far as A. & M. athletics
are concerned for this year. 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.

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.

an athlete has won four letters.
It took hard work, too, to accom
plish the feat, and all the credit
in the world is due Bill. Be
sides his accomplishments on the
athletic field, Henderson didn’t do
so bad as far as school work is
concerned. He has a high “B”
average and still is going strong.
To top all that, he was elected cap
tain of the 1941-1942 basketball
team. Whatta man!

With the baseball season al
ready a forgotten affair, it be
comes a custom about this time of
the year to pick an honor team
of players who have shown un
usual ability throughout the sea
son. 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

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. Because of his
usefulness, Clyde will be back in
