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.

tournaments and everything is in
readiness for the big day. The par
ticipants have been bracketed in
their respective sports and the

for the contestants to place the i’e-

The official rules of the tourna
ments are:
1. The matches in each round
must be played on or before the
date shown with the respective
round. If opponents cannot decide
on a date the match will automat
ically be scheduled for 2 o’clock

played on schedule will be forfeit
ed.
2. Winners will record results
of each match on slips provided at
the Intramural office and place
these slips in a box adjacent to
the bulletin board mentioned above.
3. No schedule slips will be sent
out. Matches must be scheduled
by competitors themselves.
Anyone desiring any special or
detailed information should con
tact W. L. Penberthy or “Spike”
White at the Intramural office as
soon as possible.
Prospective students are eligible
