'i (j ^ r *' I '4 t S fi * I Summer Sports Campus Theatre Captures League Lead -By Dub Oxford Southwest Conference Has Many Men In Game To Be Played On Soldier Field Soon The Southwest Conference have quite a representation in the gridiron fray that is to take place August 28 when the College All- Stars meet the Chicago Bears on Soldier Field in Chicago. Rug ged Ernie Pannell will be the on ly starter from this area but there are several conference squadmen on the team and chances are they will see a great deal of service. In fact they might see a lot more service than some of the (Start ers. With Pannell in a starting berth, Rice’s Fred Hartman and Ken Whitlow seeing service at tackle and center respectively, and Chip Routt holding down his hole at tackle that ought to be quite a formidable line. Jim Thomason, now $ lieuten ant at Camp Wolters, Mineral Wells, has been granted a fur lough in order to take part in the game. Marion Pugh, also a back- field man, has accepted the bid will+to the game. John Kimbrough has also notified officials of his ac ceptance. Ray Mallouf of S. M. U. will also be in the backfield. Looking over the above line up, that’s a pretty fair representation from the Southwest. With Jarrin’ John at full back, Jim Thomason doing blocking duty, Pugh direct ing and Mallouf at the other post, is a combination that any coach would give his right arm to have. The list of the men from the Southwest on the squad is as fol lows: Tackle—Chip Routt, Texas Ag gies; and Fred Hartman, Rice. Centers—Ken Whitlow, Rice; and Robert Nelson, Baylor. Quarterbacks — Marion Pugh, Texas Aggies. Halfbacks—Ray Mallouf, S.M.U.; and Jim Thomason, Texas Aggies. Fullback — John Kimbrough, Texas Aggies. Big John Kimbrough Visits Campus, Says He Is On Way to Make Picture In Hollywood John Kimbrough was on the- campus last week and is look ing fine. Big John has just got ten back from camp and was on his way to Houston. He merely stopped here to tell the coaches “hello.” John, who lost quite a few pounds at camp, is down from his 230 pounds to a streamlined 205. He is a living example of how good this army mess is. Big John has just received his reserve commission and is expect ing to be called any time. While here, he was worried whether or not he will be able to play in the All-Star game despite the fact that he has been elected by the fans of the nation as one of play ers who will face the Chicago Bears. Kimbrough may have too many contract commitments to play in the game. Next on Kimbrough’s list is the making of a picture. He is leav ing for the coast in a few days to star in a Zane Grey picture, •f-“The Lone Star Ranger.” Which ought to be easy for John. He has been on horses all his life and after having seen his picture on the bill boards, I’m sure he will appeal to everyone. The picture will go into production immediately and will possibly be completed in time for John to play pro football. Twentieth Century-Fox will pro duce the film. —o— Entries are now being taken for many sports which are popular with both men and women. The sports being sponsored are: Ping pong, men’s singles and women’s singles; tennis, men and women, mixed doubles, singles; badminton, golf, handball, and a new shuffle board court has been set up. There are shuffle board courts in the Y Chapel and lobby. Entry blanks may be obtained in the lobby of the Y. With all this spare time I know you have on hand, why don’t you drop over to the Y and join in the fun? — TEXAS AGGIE FOOTBALL SCHEDULE FOR 1941 Date Place Opponent Sept. 27 College Station Sam Houston S.

When the association came out of its huddle, the world of football fans learned that four new signals have been devised to notify spec tators and the press box of rule violations. The violations and their new sig nals are: 1. To show intentional ground ing of a forward pass, the official shall hold both hands over his right shoulder. 2. Unsportsmanlike conduct will be indicated by the official extend ing both arms out straight from the sides of his body with the palms facing down. 3. Illegal touching of a kicked or free ball will be shown by the official tapping both shoulders with his hands. The upper arm being parallel to the ground while he is making the signal. 4. Revolving the hands in front of the chest by an official will signal an illegal formation or posi tion of one or more players. The commission is satisfied with football rules as they now stand, at any rate all were left intact. Local Splashers Win Southwestern A.A.U. Swim Meet Carol McFadden, College Station Entry, Establishes New Records Aggie swimmers and local aqua stars made a clean sweep of the 'Southwestern A. A.

This is advised by Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State Health Officer, to prevent a possible increase in the number of heat victims as the Texas ther mometer hits 95 degrees and above. Laborers, mechanics, farmers and white collar workers whose work causes them to sweat pro fusely, are in danger of having ficient with resulting heat cramps their body salt content become de- or heat fag. Salt is a prominent constituent of sweat; the body may lose as high as 40 to 50 grams of salt during hot days. In industry, a method of pre venting heat cramps is to take a tablet of pure salt or mixture of salt and dextrose with each drink of water. Workmen whose duties require muscular exertion should be especially careful to add more than the usual amount of salt to what they eat and drink. Salt deficiency may be prevent ed by taking salt in various ways. Where prepared tablets are not available, table salt may be added to each drink of water.

By Brooks Cofer Practically everybody has heard that rumble and roar come out of the basement of the Y, and then that cry that comes up as the very familiar “split” appears down in the alley. Somebody is going through the process of bowling, and for you guys that have never visited the alleys, there are two ways of accomplishing the job of knocking down the ten pins. You can sling a 16-pound ball with all your might and then pray that it stays out of the gutter. Or, you can accidentally anchor on to the ball and ride it down the al- alley, polishing and scratching as you go. The better and safest method is the former, unless you have steel-splinted legs and car ry a heavy insurance. Bowling had its origin away back in the Low Countries and Germany. When the Dutch made their way to America, they brought it with them, there being only nine pins as they first played it on the greens around New York. One of the Blue Laws, however, af fected bowling, and the game of “nine-pins” was declared illegal. The remedy for this situation was to add another pin, and the new game of “ten-pins” survived and "has come to us today as bowling. There are many diversified forms of bowling; among these are “cocked hat” which is played with three pins and “quintet” which re quires the use of five pins. The main object of bowling is to knock down the pins with as few balls as possible. A game con sists of ten frames with two balls per frame being the limit. Per fection is twelve straight strikes, and when all ten are knocked over with two balls, it constitutes a spare. Tournaments are often times held with two-men and five- men teams competing. Bowling certainly has its attri butes. For the strong who throw good curves with lots of “English” nothing can beat hurling the three- holed canon ball down the alley. And confidentially, girls and ladies, the game of bowling is recomend- ed by Lady Marie as a good exer cise for the slimming of the waist line. If you really want to know, why not try a few games? The Y alleys have just been reworked, and some new pins have been set up. Drop by the alleys some time and ask the veteran bowler of College Station “Be-Be” Daniels how he manages to chalk up scores of 256 and 279. Coach Homer Norton to Coach College All-Stars for Battle with Chicago Bears Last Thursday, Coach Homer-* Norton was named to the staff: which will coach the College All- Stars for their gridiron battle with the Chicago Bears August 28 Coach Norton ’ Members of last year’s Cotton Bowl and Southwest Conference co-champion team who will play with the All-Stars are Ernie Pan nell and Chip Routt, tackles; John Kimbrough, Jim Thomason, and Marion Pugh, backs. All were se lected by a nation-wide poll, but Ernie Pannell is the only mem ber in the starting lineup. at Soldier Field, Chicago. Coach Norton was the second mentor to accept the position and will assist Coach Lynn Waldorf of Northwestern University and one other coach from the Pacific Coast who as yet has not been named. Both teams will begin drill on August 10. The All-Stars will hold their daily drills at North western and the Chicago Bears will drill at Delafield, Wis. It takes 125 hours of thinking to use up the same energy that you must have for one hour’s wrestling.

One game was an upset, another a no hit ter, and the remainder furnished their share of hard fought, fast ball. The upset of the week was the 8 to 4 defeat of Campus Clean ers by the Faculty. This was the first league defeat for Campus this summer and threw the race for the league championship wide open. The Campus Cleaners were favorites to repeat as league champs since they captured that title during the first session and have practically the same team playing for them this session. The no hit game of the week Dean Ryle Arrives In Mexico by Plane E. J. Kyle, Dean of Agriculture at Texas A. & M. who is on a good will tour of Central and South America, has arrived in Mexico, D. F. Kyle flew to the Mex ican capital on a Pan American plane. He was greeted at the airport by the Secretary of the City Civic Department and a delegation from the Ministry of Agriculture. Besides his visit to Mexico, Dean Kyle said that he plans to continue his trip by air to the Republics of Central America at the request of the United States Council of Re search. The object of this trip, he said, is to study the agricultural conditions of this section of the Latin Americas. Of the 1,000 college graduates who married only 19 will be di vorced as compared with the gener al average of 164 divorces for ev ery 1,00 marriages. was pitched by Marsh of Aggie Cleaners as they defeated the Faculty three and two. The first two Faculty batters to face Marsh reached first and later scored. Aft er that, Marsh settled down, pro duced in the pinches, and with the aid of his team mates, allow ed only three other Faculty men to get on base. Moore of the North Gate Project House lost a two hit game to the Campus Theater boys last Friday as the Theater boys went on to score three runs and walk away with a victory 3 to 2. In losing, Moore allowed 2 hits and 3 walks but the errors by his team mates were plentiful. Seaboard Life lost a 5 to 4 de cision to Campus Cleaners as the breaks went Campus’ way in the 4th inning. Rutherford, pitching his usual style of ball for Cam pus Cleaners, gave up four hits, two walks, and got five strike outs. It was the pitching of Rutherford that accounted for Campus get ting the first session championship and it may once again mean the difference between first place and any one of the other five places this session. Scores of the games played last week were: Seaboard Life 14, North Gate Project House 7; Faculty, Campus Theater, tie; Aggie Clean ers 1, Campus Cleaners 16; Sea board Life 2, Campus Theater 3; Faculty 8, Campus Cleaners 4; Aggie Cleaners 7, North Gate Pro ject House 4; Seaboard Life 4, Campus Cleaners 5; North Gate Project House 2, Campus Theater 3; Faculty 2, Aggie Cleaners 3.
