Participation Record
When class A and class B intra
mural boxing terminate next Sat
urday night, there will have been
staged a total of 827 individual
wrestling and boxing matches.
This draft number figure was
compiled last night and it is fur
ther proof that the Aggies have
the largest intramural participa
tion in the country.
W. L. Penberthy, Head of the
Physical Education department,
was referee of all of the matches
and he was assisted in the judging
of the bouts by students who were
adept in boxing. In boxing, the
winners were judged by “the num
ber of clean blows landed, ability
to make the opponent miss, ag
gressiveness if it pays off, and
general ring attitude.” The above
was taken from Penny’s Seren
ade.

won an easy game. They beat C
Field 12-5, and made all of their
runs in the second inning. Quite
a rally. A Infantry dominated E
Engineers by superior pitching and
strategy and won 8-5. H Coast in a
battle with their pseudo arch
enemy G Coast came out on the
top side of a 6-8 score and were
mighty happy. Big B Infantry
must practice softball in their
spare time. They beat 3 CHQ 9-4
in a really tight game. All of the
scoring was done in the last two
frames of the game.

Bibb Faulk’s defending champions,

Rice Owls from the undefeated

With the exception of the Texas

Intramural wrestling, a very
popular sport with the Aggies be
gan almost a month ago and every
night the gym was filled to ca
pacity with Aggies pulling for
their team members. The sport

days, that the sport has become
so popular.

Corps; A1 Robertson, 1 Hq, Field;

Mobiloil
Winter-weight oil shouldn’t be
used in summer weather because it’s
too thin to provide adequate lubri
cation. Pistons, cylinders and
valves need full-bodied lubrication
against blistering, summer operat
