Probable Loss of Baylor’s Gridiron Stars
Clinches Decision on Freshman Eligibility
The recent announcement of the
possible loss of Milton Crain, Kit
Kittrell and Buddy Gatewood, all
of Baylor university, to the US
armed forces in the very near fu
ture almost leaves it' without a
doubt in the world that the South
west Conference officials will
adopt the freshmen back into their
fold for the first time since World
War I.
This big question was not de
cided early in May when the con
ference had its first meeting. It
was tossed around here and there,
with one school on one side and
the other on another side. At that
time, Baylor university was the
big noise for the “let’s-have-fresh-
men-en-varsity team” question
since it had lost the bulk of its
squad to Uncle Sam.
Such stars of the green and gold
as Rex Gandy, and W. J. Gold-
bolt, hard-hitting tackles, Guard
Jim Bean and All-America pros
pect Jack Russell, an end, had
gone via the draft or army route.
Of course that was bad enough
but Coach Frank Kimbrough still
might have had a team with such
boys as Buddy Gatewood, Kit Kit
trell, the hero of the 'icxas Long
horn deadlock, and Milton Crain,
the “John Kimbrough” of the Bay
lor team, around. But when the
word came out that these gridsters,
along with three or four more
would likely be missing in Sep
tember, you can bet your life that
it was then that Coach Frank Kim
brough definitely decided that
without freshmen Baylor could not
survive.
Even should the rest of the six
other conference schools vote
against the freshman question—
which in itself is highly improb
able—the conference would still,
in all probability decide in the af
firmative. It is very unlikely that
the league officials would take a
chance of losing a member just
because of a small matter. And
they certainly would lose Baylor,
because Coach Frank Kimbrough’s
already depleted squad cannot face
a 16-game schedule without addi
tional h*lp.
The freshman angle probably
would not have any effect on such
schools as A. & M., Rice, Texas or
even Arkansas for these already
have their team members either in
the R.O.T.C. or in the Naval Re
serves. S.M.U., T.C.U. and Baylor
probably will have two or three
freshmen on their starting line
ups as each has suffered hard
losses.
I said at the start of this se
mester that there wasn’t any ques
tion as to what the conference
j would do about freshmen as far as
va l\ football was concerned and
this latest development more than
affirms my statement.

Loupot’s and CampusCleaners Win Again;
Lipscomb’s, Madeley’s Eke Out Victories
Loupot’s Trading Post and Cam
pus Cleaner’s kept their winning
streaks intact as they won one
sided victories Wednesday evening.
Loupot’s had little trouble in tak
ing the measure of the Faculty
boys by a score of 9-2. Meanwhile
the Campus Cleaners with the
help of a four run rally in the
first inning defeated the Campus
Theatre to remain a game behind
Loupot’s team which is at the
present perched in first place.
In the other games of the eve
ning Madeley’s Pharmacy eked
out a 7-6 win over the Aggie
Cleanebs, and Lipscomb’s Pharm
acy stopped their losing streak by
winning a six to five victory over
Holick’s Cleaners in a closely con
tested four inning game.
Loupot’s had little trouble in
keeping the league lead as Miller
pitched airtight ball and kept the
profs from the base paths till the
late innings by which time his
teammates had given him a safe
lead. Loupot’s boys had their big
innings in the second when they
pushed three runs across the plate
and in the fifth when they crossed
the plate for four more runs. The
profs managed to score single
runs in the fourth and sixth inn
ings.
The Campus Cleaners after
scoring four runs in the first inn
ing hustled and kept the Campus
Theatre from crossing the plate
through most of the game. The
Theatre boys managed to cross the
plate once in the first inning and
again in the ee-^nth inning. The
Campus Cleaners scored three
more runs in the late innings to
bring the final score to 7-2.
Madeley’s Pharmacy continued
in their winning ways by scoring
a run in the last inning to eke out
their 7-6 victory over the Aggie
Cleaners. The Aggie Cleaners
erupted for six runs in the very
first inning but after that Webb
the Pharmacy pitcher held their
bats in check, and with the help
of Maxwell’s booming home run

Upholding the reputation of
previous teams, the Texas Aggie
Varsity Rifle Team took high hon
ors in the East Texas Small Bore

Russell T. Cook, team captain,
led the group by taking two first
places and three seconds.
Masse was close behind with
two firsts and a third place. Other
