Newspaper Page TextCorpus Christ!, Sheppard and Randolph Fields Are Among Service Teams Considered by Ags Speculation is running wild around these parts as to who the Aggies will schedule to take the place of Duke university. It is a known fact that a serv ice team will be scheduled but as to who it will be is a question that can only be guessed. Of course, one can elaborate and still get no where but I’m going to take a fling at it anyhow. There are thousands upon thou sands of service teams over the country who’ll be playing football against various colleges. The Ags, of course, have their choice, but transportation problems and the war will necessitate the Board and Athletic Council to schedule a game close to home—in other words it will be with a service team from Texas. So, let’s look in that direction a minute or so. Contacts have already been made with the Corpus Christi Naval Base, Randolph Field, Sheppard Field and even Kessler Field out in Biloxi, Mississippi. The latter has only an outside chance while the other three will get all the consideration possible. This corner’s contention is that the Ags will schedule either Cor pus Christi or Sheppard Field. You can almost consider Randolph Field as out since the Cadets al ready have a scheduled game with Washington State in San Antonio and it is unlikely that A. & M. officials would play two games in one town. As for the other two, I’ll take Corpus Christi because such guys as Matty Bell, Marty Karow, Bill Stages and other ex-Southwest Conference members! will be work ing quite hard in promoting the affair. Sheppard Field already has games with Tulsa and Hardin- Simmons and possibly Baylor and it is probable that the Ags will give Corpus the chance. Chanute Field Soldiers Give Moser Support For All-Star Game; Fans Asked to Vote Here Here’s an item from the public relations office of Chanute Field, Illinois: “Derace Moser of Texas A. & M. has become Lt. Robert D. Moser, but soldiers here believe the triple-threat halfback is still a great football player and they are backing him for a place in the College All-American team’s start ing lineup, now being selected by nation-wide popular vote. Lt. Moser is the pass-throwing, kicking, ball-toting All-America mention who made fans down Texas-way forget some of the ex ploits of Jarrini John Kimbrough, his teammate of the 1940 season. In 1941, Moser threw 17 touchdown passes, was named the most valu able backfield man in the South west conference and led A. & M. to a conference championship and into a Cotton Bowl game lost to Alabama by a single touchdown margin. NEA, Hearst Newspapers, the Boston Record and many others picked him on their first All-Am erican teams, and United Press, Associated Press and Colliers’-list ed him on their second selections. The six-foot tall broken field runner is near his playing weight of 185 pounds. The Army Air Forces are keeping him in top physical condition. Fans, this is only one of the many deserving Southwest Con ference stars listed on the special all-star ballot, so let’s get our pencils ready and see what we can do about getting those boys on the College All-Stars. Mail your bal lot in to this scribe in care of The Battalion or drop it into the ballot box located on the first floor of the Academic building.

W N Dowell Gained Nationwide Recognition In Recreational Sports During Stay at ACC By Mike Mann Assistant Sports Editor Something new has been added to the staff of the Physical Educa tion department in the person of W. M. Dowell who has been ap pointed to replace Col. Frank An derson, now on active duty at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Dowell is a native of North Zulch, Texas, and has prominent were badminton and A Delicious Treat “Comin , Up!” Ice Cream’s the pass word to summer enjoy ment . . .

MADELEY’S PHARMACY South Gate had wide experience in the field of physical training. He comes to A. & M. from Abi lene Christian College at Abilene where he was head of the Physical Education department and director f§ _ I of Intramural athletics for the past eight years. His appointment is only temporary at the present time but the rapid growth of A. & M.’s physical program may re sult in a permanent position for Dowell, states W. L. Penberthy, head of the department. Dowell attended high school at Navasota where he was a member of the basketball team. He obtain ed his B.A. degree at Sam Hous ton State Teachers College in Huntsville and while there letter ed in tennis. His M.A. degree came from George Peabody College in Nashville, Tennessee, where he ma jored in physical education. He has done graduate work at a number of .colleges and univer sities throughout the country. He studied physical education at Gree ley Teachers College, Greeley, Col orado; University of Washington at Seattle, Washington; Univer sity of Iowa at Iowa City, Iowa; and University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, Michigan. Following this he taught in a Texas rural school for one year before going to Goose Creek where he was a physical education in structor in the public school sys tem for five years. During his stay at Abilene Christian Dowell gained statewide recognition for his work in rec reational sports; the two most archery. He sponsored the first state badminton tournament which has had five annual meetings through this spring. It was at the initial tournament that the Texas Badminton Association was organ ized under the supervision of Dow ell. The Recreation Board of the City of Abilene was created through the assistance of Dowell and at the time of his departure from that city he was chairman of the Recreation Committee of the Parks and Recreation Board. Dowell is deeply interested in all types of training for physical betterment and such an authority is a most welcome addition to A. & M.’s fine physical education staff. He has been at his new po sition for two days but he has already become “one of the boys” with the old members of the staff. (See DOWELL, Page 4) Theatre and Holick’s Win Respective Games Over Lipscomb’s and Madeley’s By Lip Libson Loupot’s Trading Post and Cam pus Cleaners kept pace of each other as they each added another victory to their streak. Loupot’s by their 4-1 win kept possession of first place and a one game lead over the Campus Cleaners who whipped the Faculty to the tune of 10-2 to remain on the heels of Loupot’s. In the other games of the evening the Campus Theatre had a bit of trouble in taking the measure of Lipscomb’s Pharmacy by a score of 6 to 4 and Holick’s kept in pace in winning from Second Round Of Intramural Games Starts This Week With the second round of the Intramural department’s open tournaments under way, it is no ticed that only a small number of forfeits are in evidence. The de partment has not completed post ings as yet but only a small num ber of men have failed to play their games, says Spike White, intra mural director. Men who win their respective rounds are requested to put the following information on the slips when they report results: their names, their opponents’ names; the sport; and the class. White has stated that this information will greatly facilitate the posting of results. Some of the tournament results are listed below with the winners names in capitals.

Hejl, Loupot’s pitcher, was in rare form and kept the Aggie Cleaners from crossing the plate till the last inning when a home- run by Roberts, the Aggie Clean ers centerfielder, kept his team from absorbing a whitewash from Loupot’s boys. Loupot’s scored their first run early in the second inning and were kept in check un til the fifth and sixth innings when they scored the remaining three runs which brought them vic tory. Meanwhile, the Faculty was giv ing the Campus Cleaners a close battle—that is till the last inning when the Cleaners broke loose with seven runs to turn a close game into a rout. Up to the last inning the profs had battled on even terms with the Cleaners and were a run behind when the up rising took place. The big blow of the game was a homerun by Jocko Roberts, the Faculty shortstop, in the fifth inning; however, his blow was wasted as the Campus Clean ers knocked the Faculty pitcher out of the box in the last inning and went on to win by a score of 10-2. Holick’s Cleaners defeated Made ley’s challenge to remain in fourth place. Madeley’s started out strong and knocked D’Avy the starting pitcher for Holick’s out of the box in the third inning but Hogge, who came in to relieve D’Avy sil enced the Madeley bats for the remainder of the game. Holick’s then scored enough runs to make Hogge the winning pitcher by a score of 6 to 3. The Campus Theatre scored five runs in the first inning in their game with Lipscomb’s and then coasted to a 6 to 4 win. Puntch, Lipscomb’s pitcher, had a bad first inning as the Theatre boys crossed the plate for five runs before he could retire the side. From then on Puntch pitched good ball but Beasley with the help of fancy fielding by his teammates especial ly Bob Walker and Boots Simmons emerged the victor by a 6-4 score. Wednesday evening Campus Theatre meets Holick’s Cleaners to decide who shall remain in fourth place. Other games will be Madeley’s Pharmacy vs. Loupot’s; Campus Cleaenrs vs. Aggie Clean ers, and Faculty vs. Lipscomb’s Pharmacy.
