* .* » « « 1> 3 First Round of Twilight League Play Fails To Produce Favorite; Harder Days Are Ahead The second round of the Twi light League is under way and lo cal fans are still wondering who is the definite favorite. After four weeks of play, the statement that “it’s anybody’s race” made by the scribe at the start of the year is still quite evident. At present only four games sep arate the co-leaders, Campus Cleaners and Loupot from the cel lar-dwelling Madeley’s Pharmacy. Only 2 , / 2 games separate the first place teams from the second di vision, so you can plainly see how close the league really is. But let’s analyze the league for a second or so. The leaders, Cam pus Cleaners and Loupot certain ly do not have a secure lead. Neither yet has shown too much consistency in winning games and may, at any time, find themselves down the standings. Take Lips comb’s Pharmacy as an example. There they were right on the very top a week ago but within two days—Wednesday and Thursday of this week—they found themselves in third place, 1% games out of the second division. The hottest teams in the race the past two weeks have been Loupot and Campus Theatre. The former elevated itself from the second division, winning five con secutive games in doing so. The latter, after suffering four con secutive losses, went on to win their next four tilts, three of which have been shutouts. The payoff will come when these two teams will clash against each other Mon day. The other teams, Faculty, Hol- ick’s Cleaners, Aggie Cleaners and Madeley’s, are all capable of throwing the first division teams out of gear. In fact the Faculty, Aggie Cleaners, and Holick’s Cleaners have accounted for the losses suffered by the league lead ers, Campus Cleaners and Lou- pot’s. The latter lost both of its games to the Faculty and Holick’s Cleaners, respectively, while the former suffered one of its losses at the hands of the Aggie Clean ers. So if you have a favorite—who ever it is—don’t get discouraged now. The race will not be decided for quite a while—yes, sir, quite a while!

Theatre and Holick’s” Win; Loupot-Theatre Tilt Is Tops for Mon The Twilight League found it self in no better fix after Thurs day’s games. The race was still a close with Loupot and the Campus Cleaners leading the pack with their respective victories over Lip scomb’s Pharmacy and Madeley’s Pharmacy. Theatre Scores 3rd Shutout In the other tilts, the surprising Campus Theatre ten scored its third shutout of the season by whitewashing the Faculty, 8-0, be hind the two-hit twirling of Char lie Beazley and a 6-hit, 3 walk and 8-run attack in the second inning. The Holick’s Cleaners hit the win column after two straight setbacks by drubbing the Aggie Cleaners, 6-1, behind the steady pitching of Sam Nesbit, who heretofore play ed in the outfield for Manager Mopay Smith’s crew. The Loupot-Lipscomb’s Pharm acy tilt was the feature of the four games played. Pre-game sen timent rated the fracas as a toss- up affair since both teams were enjoying a top spot in the league race. However, Loupot’s discounted all disadvantages against it, pounding out an 8-1 win. Bill Mil ler, star righthander for the team, held Lipscomb’s to four scattered hits, two of which came in the final inning when the latter scored its lone run. C Cleaners Eke Out Win The other co-leader, Campus Cleaners, however, didn’t find the going as easy as Loupot. They faced a hustling and determined Madeley’s Pharmacy bunch that gave the Cleaners all kind of fits before they succumbed 3-2. Each team counted twice in the third but the Cleaners pushed over a run in the sixth on hits by Drake and Wischkamper to win the tilt. Campus Theatre’s Charlie Beaz ley duplicated his feat of a couple of weeks ago as he pitched his mates to their fourth victory in a row, 8-0. This time, the Faculty was the victim to Beazley’s fast ones and he held the profs to two bingles. L. E. Winder, former ace pitcher for Penco in the Bryan Commercial League, made his de but for the Faculty, but the The atre crew jumped on him for six hits and eight runs in the second inning to sow up the game. Three errors by the profs didn’t do Win der any good. Holick’s Win, 6-1 Bunching up nine hits in six frames, the Holick Cleaners scored their third victory of the season, defeating the Aggie Cleaners, 6-1. Some nice pitching by Sam Nesbit coupled with Catcher Warren’s homerun and triple aided greatly in Holick’s attack. They scored once in the first, twice in the sec ond, twice in the fourth, and cli maxed their scoring for the day with a tally in the fifth inning. The Aggie Cleaners made their only run in the fifth on three walks and a hit.

INTRAMDRALS By Mike Mann In an attempt to enable teams to engage in more softball com petition the Intramural depart ment has raised the forfeit limit in that sport to four games. In all other sports only two forfeits are necessary to disqualify a team. The increase in the softball limit- will enable teams to engage in a greater number of games without being disqualified early in the sea son. The department felt justified in raising the number from two to four because of the fact that larger leagues are in existance this year. Tennis shoes are required for participation in all outdoor intra mural sports and men who do not come to games with this part of their equipment will not be allow ed to play, reminds the intramural officials.
