It was be yond his power, however, to can cel the game. “Tacoma has been red hot for the game since A. & M. won the Southwest Conference title, and ever since the Washington State team became the best on the Pacif ic coast. Never had an intersec tional game in the state of Wash ington created as much interest as this one. That made it far more difficult to try to cancel the game . . . After working on the mater for many hours, the task was found to be impossible.” Bruce Layer, sports editor of the Houston Post, brought forth the same report as Jinx Tucker in the former’s daily column, “Sports of the Day,” in Tuesday’s Post. Layer said, in reference to post season games,” December 6 date with Washington State at Tacoma, Washington, cost the Texas Aggies a chance to face Oregon State in the Rose Bowl New Year’s Day. “Texas A. & M. was in the mid dle of the Rose Bowl picture this year, but there was a little con tract for a tilt with W. S. at Tacoma and efforts to cancel out of the contest failed. “When that happened the Aggies faded from the Pasadena setup . . Washington State defeated the the Rose Bowl host team and will be meeting the club Oregon State tried to get for the Pasadena at traction. “So Saturday afternoon, in far away Washington, I’ll be watching the “Little Rose Bowl” game of 1941.” Aggies Water Polo Team To Play Texas U Team in Gregory Pool The Texas Aggie Water Polo team will meet the Texas un iversity Longhorn water polo team in Austin Friday night for the sec ond time this year. The Aggies met the Longhorns on Aggie ground and beat them 18-1. Water polo team captain Ernie Con way says that the squad is ready and will attempt to make the score even greater. The game will be played in Greg ory Gym pool and scoring for the Aggies will be led by Happy Mc Kee, who is high score man for the water polo squad so far. Coach Adamson has indicated that he will take the regular squad which includes such stellar play ers as Fred Renaud, Bob Taylor, Bob Cowling and Bob Lapham. Game time is 8 o’clock. Crypt-0-Quiz —BACKWASH— (Continued from page 2) “Over in Havana, Cuba, there is a statue in one of the many plazas, and this par ticular piece of statuary is de voted to the memory of a man who killed himself. He set as the objetcive of his life the amassing of a fortune of twenty-five millions of dollars. The first twenty he accumulat ed in due time but further than that he could not go. In great mental distress and embar rassment because he could gain a fortune of only twenty mil lion dollars instead of the coveted twenty-five, he hang ed himself. “Our loss last Thursday, bringing hurt as it did to all of us, is not nearly so im portant as our reaction to that disappointment. Let us not get our viewpoint warped— as for me, I am tremendously proud of you boys on the club for the nineteen fine victories you won, giving us a new high in continuous victories for this conference and area. You did a fine job. The college, cadets, officers, faculty, and support ers generally are proud of you and are indebted to you for two succsssive seasons of most exceptional football. That pride and that gratitude surpasses by great extremes our disap pointment of last Thursday’s loss.” There are no regrets. After all, we’ve been on top of the confer ence heap for three successive sea sons, losing only two games during that time . . . And it’s only 51 weeks to Thanksgiving Day, 1942.

The click of the ball may be heard constantly which sig nifies that the fellows are put ting in a lot of practice on the sport. Class B Swimming is now in the quarter-finals, and in the game the other night, H Coast outclassed F Field to win 38-10. The Coast boys simply “walked” away with the meet. Intramural Heroics and Hysterics In the class A basketball game between I Replacement Center and A Infantry, which I RC won 23-7, K. Brendle of A Infantry was cautioned that he already had three fouls against him. “Coach” Bert Hill then instructed him to make his “fourth” a good one. Hey, “coach,” that’s not an attitude to take. —REMARKS— (Continued from Page 2) and it was they who said an emphatic “no” to any fight ideas. Surely, by their actions, the Ag gies set a standard for all schools in the conference. No matter how much rivalry exists between two student bodies the place to settle disputes is on the athletic field, not in the stands or on the cam pus. Have You Talked To George McCulloch NO?

Loupot, ’32 North Gate Musical Meanderings : By Murray Evans Jack Teagarden does himself proud in all the musical sequences of “The Birth Of The Blues.” As a matter of fact he is the only one in the cast who looks natural playing a horn. Although Bing Crosby and Brien Donlevy sur pass him infinitely in acting abil ity, still they look about as much at home playing the clarinet and trumpet as Paderewski would swinging the blues. Teagarden builds his library at the rate of four tunes a week. His arranger is a young Negro, Phil Moore, who holds a master’s degree in music and is therefore no duffer when it comes to turning out sparkling arrangements for his now boss’ up- and-coming band. Tommy Tucker’s smooth orches tra started something when it recorder “I Don’t Want To Set The World On Fire,” with winsome Amy Arnell doing the vocal. Sales for this particular record are now knocking at the door of half a mil lion. Nickelodeon operators, not being able to secure the record fast enough to replace worn-out ones from so much playing, just turned the record over and used “This Love Of Mine” on the reverse side. And so now this number promises fair to be Tucker’s next smash hit. The people of North Carolina provided for a state system of high er learning in their first consti tution of 1776.
