Aggie Cleaners Show Hustle and Fighting
Spirit; Voting on All-Star Team Starts Today
The Campus Cleaners are find
ing their path to the championship
rosy and to their liking, but ahead
of them lies a team that is de
termined as ever to break Wayne
Todd’s claim to the title. That par
ticular team is Jimmy Parker’s Ag
gie Cleaners. They, too, have won
everything that’s been thrown at
them, and, at this time, are serious
ly threatening the lead of the Cam
pus Cleaners. It’s not the ability of
the players themselves that have
brought victories to Jimmy’s boys,
but it is their fire and hustle and
determination to win that has kept
them going. All the teams may al
ready concede the flag to Campus,
but not the Aggie Cleaners. It's
determination like this that wins
championships
—o—
Balloting for the All-Star team
begins today, and this writer urg
es that all the players who re
ceive a ballot attempt to pick a
team that is worthy of this cam
pus. One of the most important
points to note on the ballot is the
selection of a manager. He is the
leader of the team, and it is he
who makes or breaks it. Without
a good leader, the team may as well
go to the “dogs.” So when you are
picking the team, be sure you have
one thing right—and that is a good
manager.
Only One Player of Homer Norton’s Football
Team to Be Affected by Draft; All Others OK
Questions have been popping-f-a few sophomores who are eligible
quite consistently to this writer in
the past few days on the effect the
draft will have on the Aggie foot
ball team. As far as can be seen,
the draft will hardly have anything
to do with the gridsters. In the
first place, nearly all the seniors
are taking advanced military. Sec
ondly, most of the juniors have al
ready applied for a contract, and
are likely to receive one. There are
for the draft, but their numbers
are high enough to assure them at
least a temporary deferment. Den
nis Andricks is the only player with
a low number, but he is not due to
go into the army until the football
season will be well on its way. So
the draft that may play havoc with
such football teams as Texas and
Rice, will have very little to do
with A. & M.
Snipes Conley’s Comeback May Tempt Some
Old Time Greats to Take Fling at Baseball
“Grandpappy” Snipes Conley,-^continues his winning form in the
whose amazing string of 19 con
secutive victories in the Texas Lea
gue still stands, is back in action
with the Dallas Rebels after a
lapse of some 13 years from pro
baseball activity. Although his
famed spitball isn’t as fast as it
used to be, he had enough on the
ball to thump the San Antonio Mis
sions, 11 to 6, in his first appear
ance since his retirement. If Snipes

Texas League, it will certainly be
a temptation to such old-timers as
Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, and Walter
Johnson to take another fling at
the diamond game. Even though
the old boys would only give their
weary bones the exercise they need,
they would certainly increase some
club-owner’s bank roll as far as the
gate receipts were concerned.

Battalion All-Star Balloting Starts Today
Only Active Players
And Managers Will
Be Eligible to Vote
Five Men Rule to Go Into
Effect for the First Time
With the end of the softball sea-
sonly only three weeks away, the
time has come when the players
and managers of the various teams
of the Twilight League get their
chance of selecting an honor team
of players that will represent this
campus against one of the leading
teams in Bryan.
Balloting Starts Today
Balloting for the Battalion All-Star
team will commence today, with
the players and managers of the
A. & M. softball teams doing all
the voting. This is the first time
that the players have had anything
to say about an all-star team. In
the past, the managers of the teams
voted for the honor squad, but this
year it is felt that the players
should vote so as to get a more
representative team.
Five Player Limit
There is but one rule that will be
enforced when tabulating the votes.
That rule is the limitation of five
players from any one team. All
ballots that show more than five
players from a certain team will
not be considered.
The ballots will be distributed to
the players today and the managers
are urged to have all ballots in by
8 p. m. Thursday either at Luke
Harrison’s room at the Y. M. C. A.
or at this writer’s place in 74

Ten New Concrete
Tennis Courts to
Be Completed Soon
Ten new concrete tennis courts
will be completed within the next
ten days for the Athletic Depart
ment of A. & M. College.
Since the tennis facilities of the
college have been so limited in the
past to only eight courts—four lo
cated by the gymnasium and four
south of Kyle Field—these new ten
nis courts will help in remedying
this particular situation to a great
extent by giving more people an
opportunity to indulge in this sport
than in the past.
The work was first started on
these new courts early in March of
this year, but due to the fact that
the weather has been so bad since
that time, the workers have been
unable to work much of the time.
Labor for construction of the tennis
courts has been furnished by the
W.P.A. However, there have been
several other projects in progress
at the same time which required
much of this labor, causing a delay
in finishing this particular enter
prise.
Four concrete courts were con
structed several years ago and have
been in use since that time. These
old courts are located noth of the
project houses where the new ones
are also to be situated. This makes
a total of ten concrete tennis courts
and four clay courts, which will
help to relieve the crowded situa
tion, due to the increased interest
in tennis during the last few years
as A. & M. College.
F. J. Benson of the Civil Engi
neering department is in charge of
the engineering work and Travis
Reed is foreman of the construct
ion work.
All tennis courts are open to the
public as well as to students and
faculty members of the college.

Margaret Hollingshead Wins
Over Sis Florence in Tennis
By A1 Krezdorn
One interesting sidelight of the
summer tennis tournament took
place here last week when Mar
garet Hollingshead and Fred Smith-
am collided with Florence Holling
shead and Bill Parker in a first
round mixed doubles match.
The match was of particular in
terest in the fact that Margaret,
who is a left handed player, and
Florence, who fires the ball from
the right side, are sisters and top
flight players. Margaret partici
pated in the tournament last year
with Sunny Campbell and got as
far as the finals, but was beaten
there by Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Terrell.
Margaret and Florence both play
ed tennis in high school and have
-f-been playing ever since, yet they
have never met in a tennis tourna
ment before.
However, the question was finally
decided June 24 when Margaret and
Fred defeated Florence and Bill in
straight sets, 6-4, 6-4.

The Smiths’ are going to have
trouble keeping up with the Jones’
this semester because the Jones’
tribe have two more students en
rolled in the first semester of sum
mer school, a survey of the Sum
mer Faculty and Student Directory
shows. Generally the Browns as
sume large proportions in the en
rollment of any semester, but this
semester there is only one Brown
to uphold family tradition.
In the enrollment of 1,268 stu
dents, all etters are represented in
surnames. The “Z’s”, a letter which
usually have few representatives
respond nobly with two names, al
most as many as in the long ses
sion. A further survey of the di
rectory shows that the majority of
students enrolled in the college
have names beginning with “B’s”,
“C’s” and “M’s.”
Although 78 girls are enrolled
in the college, only 10 single girls
are staying in Walton Hall. The
majority of the girls are residing
with parents on the campus or in
Bryan.
The undergraduate men register
ed number 990. In the graduate
school 188 men and 3 women are
listed. Ten men are enrolled in cot
ton classing.
The warmer the weather the fast

Class Schedules
And Weekend Trips
Slow Tournaments
Class schedules and week-end
trips slowed down many of the
summer sports tournaments when
tennis and ping pong entries failed
to get by the first round and hand
ball failed to get past the bulletin
board stage.
Due to the lag in the playoff
Luke Harrison, head of the tourna
ments, has decided that a default
list in men’s tennis doubles will be
posted at the end of this week in
order to finish the tournaments in
the scheduled amount of time.
Posting of a default list in all
ping pong, tennis and handball will
be necessary if these tournaments
do not pick up.
This is a bad situation since the
idea of the tournaments is for
everyone to get to play as much as
possible in all the sports possible.
The tournaments are run with as
much leniency as possible with few
non-technical rules. From exper
ience in the past Harrison found
that this is the only way to handle
the situation if a final round is
ever to be reached.
Despite the slowness of the tour
naments, two especially interesting
matches were witnessed when J. P.
Hill trounced Robert Thurmond and
X. H. Fernandez slipped by P. M.
Barker.

Three Leading Teams Are
Ploughed Under Last iWeek
Campus Theater Forfeits Crucial Game to
Cleaners as Team Decides to Take Holiday
The Campus Cleaners, behind-
the consistent pitching of Rudy
Rutherford and Maxie Bloodworth
grabbed the Twilight League lead
and led the Campus Theater and
Aggie Cleaners by one game when
they defeated their three toughtest
opponents—Aggieland Pharmacy,
Campus Theater, and Aggie Clean
ers. The Campus Theater game
was especially easy as most of the
theater players decided to take a
holiday and thus forfeited the
game to the Cleaners.
Cleaners Down Pharmacy
Loose fielding by the Aggieland
Pharmacy ten gave the Campus
Cleaners a 4 to 1 victory. Both
Rutherford and Monty Moncrief,
Pharmacy pitcher, allowed but
five hits, but poor support by Mon
crief’s mates gave Rutherford the
edge.
Wildness by Pitcher Godwin of
Lipscomb Pharmacy gave the Cam
pus Cleaners an 8 run lead last
Tuesday evening. The Cleaners ad
ded two more tallies to take the
contest, 10 to 3. Godwin allowed
only 7 blows to the Cleaners while
Red Bloodworth was touched for
7 hits too.
Stop Rally
Scoring five runs in the first two
innings, the Campus Cleaners held
off a belated rally by Jimmy Par
ker’s Aggie Cleaners to grab an
8 to 3 victory. Rutherford allow
ed only two hits and none of the
runs scored off him were earned.
