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.

Referee to Further
Football Game By
New Hand Signals
The National Association of foot
ball Commissioners have decided
to further complicate the great
game of football, that is, from the
spectator’s point of view. 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.

Salt Deficiency
Can Cause Cramps
If your work is such that it
causes excessive perspiration, add
a pinch of ordinary table salt to
each drink of water you take to
help prevent heat cramps. 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.

Rumble and Roar Is Sign Of
Bowling Activity in Y.M.C.A.
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

’ 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

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

Campus and Aggie Cleaners
In a Tie For Second Place
Decisive Games to be Played This Week;
First Week Featured No Hitter and Upset
By Jerry Gleason •<
The Twilight Softball League
got under way last week with nine
games being played. 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.

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.
The league standing at the con
clusion of Friday’s games was:

Aggie Cleaners 2 1 0 .667
