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.

Those interesting in entering

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

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

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.

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

check. Rideout himself led the 9-
hit Theatre attack with two sin

In the other game, the Faculty
got hack into a winning 1 stride by
outslugging Holick’s Cleaners, 7-5.
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. The Faculty made
its big bid in the opening stanza
by pounding out three runs on hits
by White and Carll and walks to
Warren and Manning. Another
two came in the fifth and two more
the following inning.
