Prediction—Campus Cleaners to Win First
Term Softball Crown But After Hard Fight
The Twilight League is in its
second week now, with the compe
tition getting steeper as the cam
paign goes on. Four teams—Cam
pus Cleaners, Campus Theater, Ag
gie Cleaners, and Aggieland Phar
macy—are leading the parade. As
the writer indicated before, the big
fight is going to be between the
first three teams mentioned above.
At this time, however, it looks like
the Campus Cleaners, behind the
able guidance of Wayne Todd and
the sensational pitching of Maxie
Bloodworth and Rudy Rutherford,
have the ole softball flag sewed
up. They have everything a soft-
ball team should have—pitching
ability, hitting consistency, clean
fielding, and, above all, the fire
and hustle. It’s going to take a
mighty superb team to edge the
Cleaners out of the title.
Marshall Robnett to Have Leg Worked on
In Dallas or Houston Sometime Next Week
Football again pops into the Ag--
gie news, but it’s not as pleasant
as one would have it. It’s all about
Marshall (Foch)
Robnett, one of
the greatest of
all Aggie ath
lete greats. Rob
nett, as it will
be remembered,
seriously injured
his leg in the
Cotton Bowl
game with Ford-
ham. He is plan
ning to have
that leg worked on either in Dallas
m •
cMfffobneft
-or Houston sometime next week so
that he may take a fling at pro
football. He planned to turn pro
fessional before the Cotton Bowl
game, but the injury prevented him
from signing up with anyone. If
he does return to action with some
pro club, Robnett would undoubted
ly be one of the greatest linemen
in the history of pro football. That
is not a rash statement as many
close followers of the gridiron game
will agree. At any rate, here’s wish
ing the big blond firebrander from
Klondike all the luck and glory in
the world!

Because of the large number of
entrants and the difficulty the
players have in finding where
their opponents live, Harrison has
requested that all entrants watch
the bulletin board in the Y. M. C.
A. for all information concerning
these events. Information will be
posted from day to day and any
one following the bulletin board
will have no trouble in finding
when and whom they play.
Due to the difficulty in finding
time to play no set time will be
posted but instead a time limit
will be set and the players will
work out a date convenient to both
of them. Upon completion of a
match the winners are requested
to post their scores on the bulle
tin board.

The Twilight League Opens!
Luke Harrison’s huge softball program got underway Monday, a week
ago, but here’s a shot of Wednesday’s game between Campus Theater
and North Gate Project House. The fray was replayed the following
day because of the inconsistency of the rules. Campus won the game,
11 to 6. The batter in the above picture is Clint Edison, Campus Theater

Contests Show Fire and Spark Throughout
Last Week as One Team Knocked Off Lead
Rudy Rutherford, ace hurler of
the Campus Cleaners, took up
where his pitching mate, Maxie
Bloodworth, left off, and hurled a
no-hit, no-run game over the Milner
Hall Highballs, in the feature tilt
of a thrilling week of softball. The
score was 6 to 0. •
In another contest that had
everyone on edge, Bill Moore’s
homer with the bases loaded in the
final frame brought Seaboard Life
a hard-earned victory over the
North Gate P. H. Monday evening,
10 to 7. The North Gaters led all
the way until Moore, the pitcher
with the questionable delivery, lost
control and walked three men.
Then Seaboard Life’s Moore step
ped up and delivered the telling
blow.

seventh—accounted for twelve of
the runs.
Blasting out five runs in a hectic
first inning, the Campus Theater
ten continued their onslaught
throughout the game to down the
hapless North Gate P. H. 11 to
6. Thirdbaseman Farrow, with three
blows, led the Theater attack. This
game, which was scheduled for last
Wednesday, was replayed Thurs
day, due to infraction of some
rules.
Monty Moncrief’s Aggieland
Pharmacy continued their heavy
hitting attack as they overwhelmed
the hustling but outclassed Rivet
Busters ten, 9 to 2. They account
ed for two runs in the first, three
runs in the third, and four tallies
in the fourth to complete their
scoring for the day.
Legett Hall forfeited its games
to Campus Cleaners and Campus
Thetaer, respectively, and is prac
tically considered to be out of the
league. The Lipscomb Pharmacy-
Aggieland Pharmacy game was
called off at the seventh inning
because of darkness and will be
replayed at a later date.
Jimmy Parker’s Aggie Cleaners
found the going easy in their game
with the Rivet Busters as they
pounded out a 7 to 2 victory. Six
of those runs came in the last
three frames as the Parkermen
found their batting eyes. Slats
holder’s relief hurling was the high
spot of the game.
Last Week’s Games
A three run rally in the seventh
frame by Seaboard Life fell short
by one run as the Aggie Cleaners
copped the tilt 8 to 7. Gossett
started the game for the Cleaners
but finally had to give way to Le-
Page.
Jimmie Winne’s Milner Highballs
found the range in their game with
Lipscomb Pharmacy and came out
on the long end of a 13 to 5 count.
