Summer Sports Festivities Open Monday
Strength of Twilight League Teams Due
To Increase Interest of Softball Here
For the first time in years, Ag-
gieland will have a softball league
that will make College Statiom
patrons stand up and take notice.
Heretofore, Twilight League
teams, had only a limited num
ber of softball players to choose
from. The enrollment during the
summer sessions in years back
were only a drop in the bucket
compared to what it is today. Out
of 5,000 students, there are cer
tainly at least 120 top-nptch dia-
mondeers, and that’s exactly how
things stack up two days before
the eleventh annual opening of the
Twilight League.
Every team in the league is
studded with veteran softball stars
—players who’ve had plenty of ex
perience in the popular sport, and
fans here about will be treated to
the best softball play they’ve seen
in many a day.
The 7:00-8:00 deadline playing
time may have been too little
heretofore, but today, with these
classy players doing their bit for
their sponsors, it is quite possible
that seven innings of play might
be completed in the one hour per
iod.
No longer will spectators wit
ness the everyday ragged softball
played in past summers, but the
fans will get a chance to see some
thrilling top-notch tilts.
At present it’s hard to pick out
any one team that is slightly above
the rest but if you put your money
either on the Campus Cleaners,
Loupot’s Trading Post, Campus
Theater or Holick’s Boot Shop, you
won’t be far wrong. Those are the
teams that have the cream of the
softball crop, and are due to make
a merry battle of it all.
Maples Switch Not Mere Heresay; Felix
Bucek Due to Get Starting Call Next Fall
The switching of Weldon Maples,
the Aggies’ outstanding guard, to
take the spot vacated by the de
parture of Bob aTulis, only letter-
man tackle on the grid squad, is
not just hearsay, but, in all prob
ability an actual fact.
Loss of Tulis was a hard blow
to the Aggie squad and necessi
tated Norton in announcing that
Maples would be placed in the
weak spot of the team. Weldon
looked great during spring train
ing, dividing time at the guard
post and the tackle slot.
With Maples going over to the
tackle spot, Felix Bucek will take
over one of the guard positions.
That particular spot is blessed
with a wealth of material with
such boys as Kay Mulhollan,
Wayne Cure, E. Ogdee, and George
Strohmeyer among others man
ning the important post.
Promising gridsters trying out
for tackle include Don Leuthy,
the probable other starter, Ben
Stout, promising prospect from the
Fish tJim, and Bill Andrews, con-
vertedlback.

Class A And
B ’Murals To
Start Action
Softball Due
To Have Largest
Participation Mon
After over two weeks of gruel
ing preparation the Intramural
Department has given the word
that intramural sports activities
will commence Monday afternoon
in both Class A and B competition.
Softball leagues will probably
attract the most attention as this
sport is expected to have the
largest participation. Both Class A
and B leagues in softball will open
Monday.
Class A tennis and water polo,
along with Class B swimming and
volley ball, will round out the in
tramural program for the present
time. Other sports, which will
start at a later date, will be an
nounced sometime in the future.
All softball games will be play
ed on the diamonds in the old area
and on the old practice football
field south of the stadium. The
playing fields in the new area will
not be used this year as the
grounds have been turned over to
the navy and marine detachment
for use in their physical training
program. All softball games will
begin promptly at 4:15 p.m.
The tennis matches will be slat
ed for 4:15 and 5 p.m. each week
day and will be played on the con
crete courts between the stadium
and the project houses.
Four new volley ball courts
have been constructed! adjacent to
the four courts which were built
last term. These courts are located
next to the clay tennis courts just
across the street from the little
gym. All volley ball matches will
begin at 5 p.m. This late starting
time is being used in an effort to
bolster the participation in this
sport.
All water polo and swimming
matches will take place in the P.
L. Downs Natatorium and the first
events will begin at 8 p.m. on
week nights. It is planned to hold
nine dual swimming meets and
eight water polo matches each
night.

Fish Discussion
Groups Continued
Freshmen discussion groups will
get under way next week and will
be held each week following. These
discussions were started 14 years
ago by M. L. Cashion, secretary of
the local Y. M. C. A. The discus
sions are under the leadership of
professors and instructors of the
school.
The purpose of these discussions
is to give the freshman an oppor
tunity to get acquainted with many
of the faculty members as well as
a chance to get help from them
concerning freshman academic

INTRAMORALS
By Mike Mann
The anxiously-awaited opening
of the summer intramural program
is rapidly approaching the “O”
hour and the Intramural depart
ment has announced itself to be
in readiness for the activities.
All schedules for both Class A
and B leagues will be placed in the
boxes at the Commandant’s office
early Saturday morning and all
recreational officers are urged to
see that they obtain their copies in
order that they may be in readi
ness for the opening games Mon
day.
The Intramural Department has
stated that the intramural pro
gram has been revised to corre
spond with the new speed-up col
lege system. For the duration of
the emergency the intramural pro
gram will be run on a one-semester
basis. The college champion will
be crowned at the end of each se
mester instead of at the end of
a school year as has been done in
the past.
With the new plan in effect for
feits will be much costlier than
ever before. Recreational officers
should make every effort to keep
their teams from losing games
because of a “no-show.”
Whistles will be sounded at the
starting time of all events and
teams not ready to begin play at
that time will be given a forfeit,
Particular attention is called to
the softball schedules. It will be
noticed that all games of a certain
league will, almost without ex
ception, be played on the same
diamond. Equipment will be issued
before each game at the center
of the playing area.
The standard length for all soft-
ball games will be seven innings.
A whistle will be blown at 5:20 p.
m. in the softball areas. When
this whistle is, blown the teams
playing at the time will finish the
inning they are in; play one more
inning and conclude the game.

At 7:00; Faculty Enters
The Eleventh Annual Twilight
League will open Monday nigth at

teams encountering each other for
the first time:
Medeley Pharmacy vs. Faculty.
Campus Cleaners vs. Lipscomb’s
Pharmacy. 4
Campus Theatre vs. Aggie
Cleaners.
Loupot’s vs. Holick’s.
Each team is limited to fifteen
players chosen by their respective
managers. Managers are urged to
bring their complete rosters by to
39 Leggett by Saturday at 6 p.m.
A $3 fee must also be payed by
each team so that game balls
(lively leather balls) can be ob
tained from the Intramural De
partment.
The league will operate on a
Round Robin schedule lasting
through August 24. At the end of
the season the four top teams will
engage in a Shaughnessy playoff
to determine the champion of the
league.
It is very important that all
games be started on time as the
field has to be cleared by 8 p.m.
Teams are urged to show up on
time and be ready to start at 7:00
promptly.
A last minute change in the
team members found the Faculty

work. The eight topics which are
discussed at these get-togethers
are those which are most common
and most outstanding to all fresh
men on the campus. They are
chosen by each organization com
mander.
Leaders of these discussions
make no effort to antagonize any
one nor do they try to persuade
the freshmen to believe as they
do on certain issues. Over 100
faculty members have agreed to
help lead these discussions but the
organization commander is respon
sible for the selection of the facul
ty niember to lead his group.
In past years 85 per cent of all
freshmen enrolled in school have
attended these meetings. Their at
tendance is strictly voluntary as
there is no effort made to force
them to attend these discussions.
Last year discussions were carried
on in every organization on the
campus except five.
Texas’ first aerodynamics re

at the University of Texas, as part
of the school’s newly established
graduate program in aeronautical
engineering.
