Corpus 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. Do it right
now and see your favorite SWC
star in action at Chicago August

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.

Madeley’s Pharmacy 6-3.
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.
