Executive Committee Approves Twilight League Plan
By (Hike Naikin
Battalion Sports Editor
Twilight League Plans Formulated By
Managers at Special Meeting Tuesday Night
Well, the committee finally de
cided in favor of the Twilight-
League after a week’s delibera
tion. They did make a few changes
here and there but on the whole,
the league is as strong as it ever
was, if not stronger.
The ruling that the field must
be cleared by 8:00 o’clock means
just what it implies. All games
will ( be cut off at 8:00 and that
means 8:00 and not 8:15. In order
to reel off seven innings of play
teams must adhere to the 7:00
o’clock starting time. Supper is at
6:15 and there is plenty of time
for each team to get their hitting
and infield practice. So, fellows,
let’s start the ball rolling right
and begin those games at 7:00
o’clock on the dot.
Meanwhile, as the executive
committee was pondering on the
Twilight League question, the
managers of the various teams
met Tuesday night and formulated
plans for the league. And here
with is their final decision:
(1) . Each team will be limited
to 15 players.
(2) . There will not be any
trading of players between
teams at any time.
(3) . A lively leather ball will
be used.
(4) . Teams losing a player
during midseason may pick
up another but that has to be
approved by the managers.
(5) . The decision of the um
pire will be final.
(6) . All protests will be de
cided by W. L. Penberthy.
(7) . A round-robin schedule
lasting through September will
be initiated.
(8) . The “Shaughnessy” plan
of playoff wil be used at the
end of the season. That is the
highest four teams will play it
out and decide who is the Twi
light League champion.
(9) . Uniforms—only shirts and
caps—will be worn by all
teams if at all possible.
(10) . Games will start prompt
ly at 7:00 o’clock.
Those are the rules as decided
by the different managers of the
teams in the Twilight League and
these are rules which should make
the game as interesting as possi
ble. So let’s follow them and leave
out all protests of any kind. It’s
fun that we’re all after and that’s
what we plan to get!

Ineligible
Tilts to be Completed
By 8; Officials Also
Add Other Changes
The Twilight League—an Aggie
softball league—won out in its
battle for survival as the college
executive committee voted in favor
of the popular sport at a special
session yesterday morning.
Sophs, Fish, Ineligible
The committee pondered for a
week over the question, but final
ly handed down its decision with
a few changes, however. The big
gest one was that the league was
open only to juniors and seniors
and that freshmen and sophomores
were . ineligible to participate.
Since the rosters of the various
teams did not contain many fresh
men and sophomores, the ruling
was only a mild change as far as
the league is concerned.
However, one thing that the
committee stressed on is the fact
that the field will have to be clear
ed by 8 p.m. Games at this time
are planned to' start at 7 o’clock
on the dot but should the hour of
playing time not be enough to
complete seven innings of play,
the possibility of starting the
games at 6:30 or 6:45 may be con
sidered if the managers and the
players are in full agreement of
the idea.
Other Rules
Here are the changes as passed
by the college executive commit
tee:
(1) . The play is to be under the
general supervision of the Physi
cal Education Department.
(2) . It is to be open to juniors
and seniors only.
(3) . It is not to be open to any
one on the deficiency list.
(4) . The play is to be completed
and the field cleared by 8 p.m.
This means that not only must the
contests be over by 8 p.m., but
there must be no further practice
or other use of the field after that
time.
Teams are already preparing
themselves for the season’s opener
which is planned for Monday, June
15. Each team is limited to fifteen
players and all rosters must be in
hands of Mike Haikin, Batt sports
editor, by Saturday at 6 p.m. He
can be reached at 37 Leggett Hall.
INTRAMURALS
By MIKE MANN
Many delightful hours are in
store for those who wish to spend
their leisure hours in the “old Ag
gie swimmin’ hole,” which is of
ficially known as the P. L. Downs
Natatorium. The pool is open ev
ery afternoon from 2 until 5:30
for all Aggies, marines and sailors.
The regulation swimming strap
and cap are required of all who
use the pool in the afternoons.
The swimming events of the In
tramural Department will take
place in the pool in the evenings
after supper.
“Penberthy & Co.” is working on
the open tournaments which will
begin shortly after the opening of
the regular program. Sports to be
included in this phase of the pro
gram will be: golf, handball,
horseshoes, ping pong, and tennis.
Additional sports will be added if
enough requests are received by
the department.
Recreational officers who have
not procured the athletic equip
ment needed by their organiza
tions may do so by calling at the
Intramural office at any time.
Only a few more days remain
until the opening of the summer
intramural session. The big day is
Monday, June 15. Let’s start the
program with a bang and go out
for some good fun. Some of the
teams have to win those intramur
al trophies and the Intramural
Flag is “on the market” again.
Keep the Forfeit Doghouse empty.
Remember—“A forfeit means a
wasted afternoon for a bunch of
kids who wanted to play.”

Norton’s Tackle Worries Grow Worse As
Tulis Leaves School for Naval Program
Coach Homer Norton’s tackle 1
worries took a turn for the worst
yesterday afternoon as it was
learned that Robert Tulis, the only
returning letterman tackle on the
football squad, resigned from
school to enter the Naval aviation
training program.
Tulis’ departure leaves Norton
with no experienced tackles. Don
Leuthy, promising prospect who
broke his ankle in the first tilt
last year, is still around, and will
probably be one of the starring
tackles next fall. Other prospects
for the post include Ben Stout
from the freshman team and Jim
Montgomery, big, husky squad-
man. There is some possibility
that Weldon Maples, the Aggies’
great guard may be shifted to the
post but nothing definite is cer
tain at this time.
Tulis came here in 1939 after
distinguishing himself at North
Side High in Fort Worth by win
ning three football letters. Fol
lowing his freshman year here in
which he gained a numeral, Tulis
became ineligible but got back in
good standing in 1941. He served
as an understudy to 1 Euel Wesson
and saw plenty of action through
out the season. He gained his first
“T” 1 letter after the season of ’41.
With Wesson and Martin Ruby
gone from the team, Tulis and
Leonard Dickey, sensational soph,
were expected to man the tackle
posts. However Dickey, along with
Andy Andricks, hard-plugging
fullback, left school for the Navy
immediately after the football sea
son.
Now, Coach Norton is confront
ed with a big question mark as
far as the tackle posts are con-
&>ob &uhs
cerned. With big Bob Tulis in
there his worries seemed to be
over, but now it’s only the begin
ning. It’s a wide open post, with
many prospects due to have a
merry battle of it all.
