Aggie Cagers Take
To Road During The
Christmas Holidays
For the first time In the his
tory of basketball at Aggieland
the team will go for a long trip
and play intersectional ball with
other teams throughout the coun
try. The present plans call for
games as far north as Lafayette,
Ind., to be played during the
Christmas holidays.
The Aggies will leave in time
to play their first game at Lexing
ton, Ky., on Dec. 30. Here they
meet the strong University of Ken
tucky Wildcats. Next, they will
play the Bradley Polytechnical
College at Peoria, 111. But the
highlight of the trip comes when
they take on the always powerful
Purdue Boilermakers at Lafayette.
Enroute home they will stop over
at St. Louis to play Washington
University, arriving back on the
campus in time for classes on Jan.
5.
Coach Marty Karow, who takes
the place of “Hub” McQuillan as
head coach, intends to carry a large
squad with him so that all may
have a look at how the game is
played in other parts of the coun
try, particularly at Purdue where
winning the Big Ten championship
is almost a tradition.
In discussing his prospects
Karow said he is pretty much in
the dark as to his 1941-42 team
since this will be his first year as
varsitiy cage coach at Texas A.
& M.
“All jobs on the team are open,”
he said. “I have talked to sev
eral junior college players who
promised to come to A. & M., and
I hope they do, for I would like
to take them along on the trip
we plan,” he added.
Karow succeeded “Hub” Mc
Quillan, mentor since 1935, who re
signed to go to Texas Christian.
Since he has been at A. &M. Marty
has been backfield coach in foot
ball and head varsity mentor of
baseball.
Parker Takes Over
Management of 111
Athletic Equipment
Jimmy Parker, the likeable Ag
gie football team manager for the
past two years, takes over some
new duties with the opening of the
coming football season. Jimmy has
come up the hard way. He start
ed out with the track team, and
now he is taking over the equip
ment room and the job of looking
after the Freshman athletes.
It took Jimmy one whole year
to convince Coach Norton that he
neaded a manager for the foot
ball team. While doing this Jim
my was manager for Coach Dough
Rollins’ track team, but in the
fall of ’39 he became manager
of the football tetam. In this
capacity Jimmy has served for
two years, being at the beck and
call of every athlete who needed
anything from a shoe string to
smelling salts.
This summer Jimmy completed
his worlc for a degree, but still
found time to manage a team in
the Twilight League and to be
elected the manager for the All-
Star team which represented the
league in games with the Bryan-
All-Stars. Also, this summer Jim.
my signed up with Uncle Sam, for
he passed his physical examination
to become a cadet in the Army Air
Corps, but this will not interfere
with his new job because he will
probably not be called for six
months.
Jimmy’s new job consists of tak
ing care of the equipment and
looking after some 40 freshman
football athletes, serving more or
less as a papa to them. Also he
plans to start work on his master’s
degree in Physical Education up
on the opening of school, besides
getting ready for the players who
will report for practice on the
fifth of September.
A. & M. is the oldest state
supported institution of higher edu
cation in Texas.

Approval of the budget for oper

For the first time in two years
the Aggie coaching staff will have
the pressure off their shoulders.
After leading two teams to twenty
victories and only one loss, the men
tors have started reconstructing
again and hope to build another
team of the 1939-40 calibre. No
longer are there such men as Kim
brough, Thomason, Pugh, Rob-
nett, and Pannell. In their stead
are men who are longing for the
touch of a football but who have
been untried as yet. That is the
coaches’ biggest job—to prepare
the present gridsters for action
under fire. If that can be accom
plished, their ends will be met.
Herewith we present the coach
ing staff of A. & M.:
Homer Hill Norton
Homer Hill Norton will be start
ing his eighth year as head coach
and director of intercollegiate ath
letics here at A. & M. Coach
Norton came here to Aggieland
from Centenary College with which
he had been connected since 1920.
Since he has been here, his teams
have won 42 games, lost 24 and
tied six.
John W. “Dough” Rollins
Dough Rollins, one of the
“greats” of Texas Aggie history,
is business manager of athletics,
varsity track coach and end foot
ball coach. He came to A. & M.,
his alma mater, as coach in 1935
from East Texas State Teachers
College, where he had been head
football coach from 1930 to 1934
inclusive. His position now with
the Aggie varsity is coaching and
scouting.
Marty Karow
Marty Karow, backfield coach
and head basketball coach, joined
the Aggie coaching staff in Jan
uary of 1938. Since then he has
been head baseball coach, but re
linquished that position to Lil
Dimmitt to take charge of the
cagers. Marty graduated from
Ohio State University where he
lettered three times each in foot
ball and baseball and once in bas
ketball.
William N. “Bill” James
Bill James, line coach, a team
mate of “Bo” McMillan and
“Matty” Bell with the Centre Col
lege Praying Colonels, came to A.
& M. in 1935 with a record of
fourteen years of coaching behind
him. Before coming to A. & M.
he was line coach at Texas Uni
versity from 1924-33 inclusive, and
freshman coach in 1934.
Lilburn J. Dimmitt
“Lil,” as he is most commonly
known, is now head baseball coach
and assistant football coach. He
is probably one of the best known
figures in Texas athletic circles,
being athletic mentor at Beaumont
High School, cattle ranchman and
mayor of Georgetown before com
ing to A. & M. in 1935.
Charles A. DeWare
Charles DeWare, one of the two
head freshmen coaches, has been
coaching football since graduating
from this institution in 1936. He
was All-Southwest Conference cen
ter for the Aggies in ’36, winning
his grid letters here in 1934-35-36,
and was co-captain of the 1936
team. He is also freshmen base
ball coach and assistant varsity
baseball coach.
Manning F. Smith
Manning Smith, along with
Charlie DeWare, is head freshman
coach, as well as head varsity ten
nis coach, and freshman basketball
mentor. “Smitty” came to A. &
M. from Centenary in 1934 with
Coach Norton, who coached him
to All-America mention as the
(jbae/i'
Gents’ star quarterback in 1933.
His coaching duties consist main
ly of demonstration for backs.
Based on the number of students
enrolled A. & M. has the largest
department of petroleum engineer
ing and the second largest depart
ment of agricultural engineering
and the second largest school of
engineering in the nation.

of interest along the way.
All important buildings are men
tioned and the outstanding fea
tures of each stop are briefly dis
cussed. Numerous sports off the
main campus are also included
in the tour.
The book was prepared by the
College Department of Informa
tion and was published by the
Heumble Oil & Refining Company.
Copies may be obtained at the
