Dough Rollins , Departure Hard Blow Both
To Coach Norton and A&M Cadet Corps
The mighty man of A. & M. ath
letics has left!
And when I say the “mighty
man” It’s not a hard task to guess
the man’s name. John W. (Dough)
Rollins, beloved by every athlete
that has ever stepped inside the
gates of Aggieland, received his
orders Tuesday to report to Camp
Hood July 2. Although it is for his
country’s service that Dough ap
plied for the commission, every
Aggie and others who knew the
big farmer from Hunt county, find
it hard to believe that he is actual
ly going away.
Dough meant more to this school
than anyone, can imagine. He was
part of everything that was here.
He was the guide for every ath
lete who stepped into this school.
He looked after their welfare and
saw to it that they were treated
right. That was one of the primary
reasons why the ineligibilities at
A. & M. were kept at a low rate.
But the loss of Dough Rollins
not only hit the different students
and other friends hard, but it was
a hammer blow to Coach Homer
Norton. For in Dough he lost one
of the most valuable assets to Ag
gie grid hopes in 1942. Not only
did Dough prove to be a number
one end coach, but he, too, was the
jack-of-all-trades in the athletic
department. He was business man
ager and chief scout for the Ag
gies. The latter job, which would
take Rollins scurrying all over the
country giving the Aggie oppon
ents the once-over, was an im
portant cog in the Cadet 1939-40-
41 championship drives. In fact,
Coach Norton regards Dough’s
scouting duties as a major reason
for Aggie gridiron victories. His
uncanny eye for spotting import
ant plays proved invaluable as far
as the football team was concern
ed. ’
Yes, fans, it’s a tough blow to
lose a guy like Dough Rollins,
whose tales of World War days
and other “bull’ would make an
Aggie’s day complete. I do know
one thing, however. As long as
there are such men as Dough in
the army, you can bet your bot
tom dollar that this flag that
waves over the free today will
continue waving forever and ever.

No Additional Coaches at Present-Norton
Dough Rollins
Is Third Coach
To Leave for Army
There will be no addition to the
A. & M. coaching force, according
to Homer Norton, head mentor of
the Texas Aggies following the
vacancy caused by Coach “Dough”
Rollins who is slated to report for
active service at Camp Hood next
week. The open spot will be taken
care of by a reorganization of the
present coaching staff and a pos-
L v\_
sibl e addition of several student
coaches to work with the freshman
team.
Aggie Greats
“Dough” Rollins, truly one of
the “greats” of Texas Aggie grid
history, has again answered the
call and joined a greater coaching
staff, the staff of the United
States Army. Capt. Rollins reports
July 2 to Camp Hood at Killeen,
to serve with the Tank Destroyer
Command under Brig. Gen. A. D.
Bruce, former Aggie, and class
mate of Rollins in 1913-16.
Capt. Rollins was business man
ager of athletics, varsity track
coach, and football end coach, hav
ing been here at his alma mater
since 1935. He came here from
East Texas State Teachers’ Col
lege, where he had been head
coach from 1930 to 1934. He grad
uated from Texas A. & M. with
the class of 1917, after having won
football letters in 1914-15-16 and
having captained the 1916 eleven.

Table tennis and golf have been-f-
added to the four sports already
on the Intramural department open
tournament schedule, according to
an announcement made by W. L.
Penberthy, head of the Intramural
department.
The sports already on the list
are handball, tennis, aggieminton
and horseshoes. With the addition
of table tennis and golf the par
ticipation is expected to be favor
able.
Because golf matches will be
played off the campus, a greens
fee of 25 cents will be required of
each entrant in that sport. Par
ticipants may play as many holes
as they like. The semi-finals and
final matches will be free.
The table tennis events will be
played in the chapel of the old
YMCA. The tables are being ar
ranged and will soon be in playing
condition. The chapel was chosen
because it will provide the most
central location for this sport.
Deadline for entrants to file
their entry blanks is 5 p.m. Friday.
All entry blanks must be turned
in at the Intramural office in per
son. Further information and de
tails may be obtained from that
office.
Dean Paul Brosman of the Tu-
lane university college of law has
a hobby of collecting pipes. His
office and home are littered with
briars of every shape and from ev
ery country.

Lipscomb’s-Faculty Tilt Is High
Spot of Four Games Scheduled Monday
The Twilight League well intcr-f-
its third week of play Monday
evening with four tilts scheduled
to be reeled off. In probably the
most important game of the day,
the surprising Faculty team will
try to oust Lipscomb’s Pharmacy
from second place in the standings.
So far Lipscomb’s boys are a
half a game in front of the Profs
and Monday’s tilt will decide who
will take undisputed possession of
second place.
The Campus Cleaners, only un
defeated team in the league with
four wins to its credit, will try
to protect their clean slate and
extend their league lead when they
clash with the Aggie Cleaners. The
latter was white-washed by Lou-

Annual statistical reports on at

tune of 9-0 and will be out to make
amends for this defeat at the ex
pense of the league leaders.
Loupot’s will try to stay within
striking distance of the Campus
Cleaners as they will endeavor to
turn back the challenge of Mad-
ley’s Pharmacy. The Pharmacy
boys showed plenty of power in
holding Holick’s to a 4-2 win and
are out for “blood” this time. So
far they have won one game and
lost three.
The jinxed and unlucky Campus
Theatre club will be seeking its
first win of the season when* they
clash against Holick’s cleaners.
The former has suffered four
straight setbacks, while the latter
has split its games, winning two
and losing two.
