Lipscomb’s Pharmacy Is Surprise Team Of Twilight League; Has Shown Great Form Presenting the surprise team, of the Twilight League—Lipscomb’s Pharmacy—a team that showed possibilities at first but now shows definite signs of strength and power. Discounting Wednesday’s game Kyle Drake’s ten has won four and lost one, a record that is envied by the majority of teams in the league. Their one loss—that by the Campus Cleaners^eame on a dis puted home run in the final in ning. Many still claim that the ball was foul but nevertheless was ruled fair. The ball club itself does not stand out as a super team or a team with an unusual array of softball stars. On the contrary, it’s comprised of a bunch of kids who plug along day in and out and play the everyday kind of ball. They hustle, play hard, and the main thing is that they play to win, whether they’re far behind or ahead. Sparkplug of the team is Clay ton Atkins, fast little shortstop, whose hitting and fielding easily makes him stand out as the top man of the team. Then there is Milton Sims, Johnny Roberts, and Jake Maroney who make up one of the strongest outfield contri butions in the league. Watch this boy Sims go! He can slam ’em where they ain’t. As for the pitching, Drake has produced one of the surprises of a surprising team. Spin-baller Andy Cokinos has contributed a lot to the team with his superb hurling. At first, not regarded as an exceptional flinger, Andy has more than made a liar out of this scribe. It’s his pitching that has held Lipscomb’s on top and it may, be his pitching that will keep them on top. So just a little warning to the rest of the teams in this loop! There probably will be plenty of surprises in store for everyone, but be sure not to discount Lip scomb’s Pharmacy—they’ve got something!

Plans Made By Rifle Team For East Tex Matches Small Bore Championship Matches to be Held Sunday July 12 at Kilgore, Texas By Mike Mann Assistant Sports Editor At a meeting of the Varsity Rifle team last night plans were made for the team’s participation in the East Texas Small Bore Champion ship Matches to be fired at Kilgore on Sunday, July 12. Officers of the team are Russell Cook, captain, and J. H. Crossland, secretary-treas urer. Lieut. C. A. Wiliams, Corps of Engineers, is the team coach. The team took more than their share of the honors recently at the Texas State Bore Rifle Cham pionship Matches in Austin. A. J. Getz came through to take three medals and Cook won another. The team has been working diligently and expects to do great things in the Kilgore matches, says Captain Cook. The tentative list of men who will make the trip to Kilgore for the July 12 matches includes R. T. Cook, captain, J. H. Crossland, Ed ward Fry, A. J. Getz, Nick Mees Jr., and J. E. Wesp. Seventy-two per cent of students interviewed in a recent college survey owned cameras. Coal can be pumped through pipelines instead of shipped in cars, suggests Prof. H. E. Babbitt of the University of Illinois. Pembroke college’s freshman en rollment of 165 is up 30 per cent over last year. Among new students at Univer sity of New Brunswick is a native of Nigeria. His name is Okee- h’ukwa Ikejiana and he is studying for a B.S. degree. Friday Is Final Day to Turn In ’Mural Tournament Entry Blanks Drawing of Names For Tourneys To Be Made Next Week Final plans for the six tourna ments sponsored by the Intramural Department is already under way and everything is set for the draw ing of names of the participants early next week. Those interesting in entering one or more of the tourneys are reminded that Friday July 3 is the last day for turning in entry blanks. This may be done by bring ing the blank, which appears on the Battalion sports page, to the intramural office anytime from 8 o’clock in the morning until 5 p.m. A number of entries have al ready been submitted ot the de partment but the desired number has not been reached as yet. All cadets are eligible to enter, with the same intramural eligibility rules applied to the tournaments as to the various games. Only those who have participated in inter-collegiate competition in one or more tournaments are ineligible to participate in these. For exam ple, if an Aggie belonged on the varsity tennis team last year, he is not eligible to participate in the tennis tournament. The events included in the tour naments are golf, pingpong, hand ball, aggieminton, and horseshoes. All but table tennis are made up both of singles and doubles teams. Pingpong will only include singles. Special fees for the greens in the golf tournament will be 25 cents with no charge to those reaching the semi-final and final matches. INTRAM URALS By Mike Mann Once in a great while a blot on the intramural program comes to light. A short time ago an ex tremely distasteful occurrence was noticed in one of the games. It seems that some outfits have adopted the practice of allowing boys to play under assumed names. This is one in an attempt to have the best available players in the game and still give a less spec tacular boy game credit. The Intramural department is not looking for these acts with an eagle-eye but whenever such hap penings come to their attention the offending team is completely dis qualified from further competition in the particular sport. Whenever an outfit is disquali fied from a sport because of the actions of two or three boys the entire team is knocked out of as many as five or more games. Let’s keep this fact in mind whenever someone thinks of playing under an assumed name. Think twice be fore doing this underhanded bit of playing, fellows. The Intramural office wishes to remind recreational officers of the five dollar intramural fee duej WE WILL CLOSE SATURDAY, JULY 4, AT NOON GET YOUR WORK DONE EARLY THIS WEEK Campus Cleaners from each outfit. This amount should be turned in as soon as possible. The office also wishes to complete the alphabetical list of all upperclassmen in each outfit. This list should be turned in im mediately if it has not already been submitted. Softball F Engineers took a Class A softball game as they beat D Coast Artillery 8-5.

J Battalion Sports Thursday, July 2, 1942 Page 3 Lipscomb’s Takes Over Lead As Loupot’s Dumps C Cleaners; Theatre, Faculty Win A sensational 6-3 victory by Loupot’s over the Campus Clean ers coupled with a 3-1 win by Lipscomb’s over the Aggie Clean ers put the latter into undisputed possession of first place as the final week of the first round of the Twilight League draws ever closer. Meanwhile, the Campus Theatre continued its upward surge after four straight setbacks by pound ing out a 7-0 victory over Made- ley’s Pharmacy. The Faculty gain ed a notch or so by outlasting Holick’s Cleaners to the tune of 7-5, despite a belated 4-run rally by the latter in the sixth frame. For the first time since the Twi light League inaugurated its elev enth session this year, seven full innings were played by each and every team, with the Lonpot-Cam- pus Cleaners fracas lasting but 45 minutes. Homers by Jack Taylor, Johnny Hejl, and Jimmy Newberry with a two-hit pitching job by Bill Mil ler gained Loupot’s ten its fourth win of the season against only two defeats. A four-run rally in the sixth inning erased a 3-2 Cam pus Cleaner lead and shoved Lou pot’s ahead. They scored their oth er two runs in the first frame. The Cleaners counted all their runs in the fourth on two walks, two errors and a bingle. Meanwhile, Lipscomb’s was as cending into the league lead by beating out a surprisingly tough Aggie Cleaner team. A three run rally in the fourth inning sewed up the game for Lipscomb’s. Some timely hitting by Donald Punch, the Pharmacy’s hurler, helped out considerably. The Campus Theatre, in the meantime, scored their second con secutive shutout of the season, this time at the expense of the Made- ley’s Pharmacy, 7-0. Bud Rideout, pitching for the Theatre, chunked a three-hit game, and coupled CPT Applications For New Course To Be Accepted Now Training Is for Men Over Combat Age Or Unable to Pass Physical Applications for enrollment in the new Civilian Pilot Training program, to start soon, will be accepted immediately, it was an nounced today by Dr. Howard Barlow, CPT co-ordinator and head of the aero engineering de partment. Designed primarily for men over the army combat training age limit, the program will be open to men 27-37 years old, and to those aged 18-27 who have been unable to meet physical and men tal requirements for combat train ing.

A four-run rally by the Cleaners in the fourth on hits by Nesbit, Smith and Slaughter, and walks to Kizer and Warren accounted for the tallies.
