By (Bike Haikin Battalion Sports Editor Writer All Wet About Washington State Tilt; Fracas Is Definitely to be Played Ever so often there comes a time when a sports writer is all wet— in other words as wrong as he can be. Well, to my sorrow, that’s ex actly what happened last Tuesday in the column when I tried to elab orate on the A. & M.-Washington State game. I went on to say that there is a possibility of having the game cancelled because of the distance. Well, that won’t stop Washington State from playing the game, as they are bent on making the tilt even if they have to walk. In the contract between the two colleges, a mutual agreement was made, and all details would have to be worked out by both colleges. In other words, if one would like to cancel the game, it would have to have the consent of the other. Correspondence received from Tacoma, Washington, following the Duke cancellation indicates that the boys from the West Coast were very much in favor of coming to San Antonio for the game. When I made my supposedly scoop state ment last Tuesday, I did not even try and check up to see if my article was confirmed. After it was printed, it backfired on me and I was pointed out where I was wrong. My apologies to everyone con cerned for my erroneons statement Tuesday, and assure you that noth ing of the kind will happen again. I just underestimated Washington State’s eagerness to play the game at San Antonio. Disregard all rumors you hear about A. & M.' cancelling the game, for, like the athletic office puts it, “It’s all the bunk.” Clearing Up Argument on Play in Monday Night’sTorrid Loupot-Campus Cleaner Game It’s “confoosin’ but amoosin’.” And that’s what you would have to say to the unusual play that took place in the sixth inning of the Loupot-Campus Cleaners hot contested tilt last Monday night. Here’s what the teams were arguing about. Batters were on first and second for Loupot with none away. Johnny Hejl smacked a terrific drive into left center which Tillery gathered in with a spectacular one-hand stab. Mean- JU SMART LUGGAGE Quality luggage you’ll be proud to carry any place.

While all that was going on, Hejl, the batter, who was out on the fly, kept on running, passing up Miller, who was on first. He slid into third, thus confusing the Campus Clean ers team, who, naturally made a play for Hejl. The Cleaners claim (1) that Bar ton did not tag pp, and (2) that Miller, who was on first, was auto matically out when Hejl passed him up. Loupot’s, on the other hand, claim directly the opposite. Well, the teams’ first claim has to be left up to the base umpire, who insisted he did not see the play. In the second claim, the Cleaners are wrong in their state ment. The batter, who was passed up by Hejl was not out since the latter was already out. The rule books state that a runner, who is already out, can go off the field of LAWN CHAIR $1.75 up This chair as pictured $1.75. Get your supply of lawn furniture while we have it in stock.

Cops Class A Water Polo Crown Defeats I Field In Hotly Contested Fray; Score Is 3-2 By Mike Mann Assistant Sports Editor In a thrilling nip-and-tuck game, 3rd Headquarters Field Artillery took the Class A water polo cham pionship of the college as they defeated I Field Artillery 3-2 Tues day night. The water polo program has been conducted by Dave Gil- lory, Intramural Departmental Manager. Charles Nash and J. M. Welch scored the goals for the victors; Nash accounting for two and Welch for the other. R. H. Englefield and J. R. Hover made the tallies for. the I Battery boys. The lineup for 3rd Headquarters Field was R. E. (Buck) Weirus, Charles Nash, J. M. Welch, W. Watens, Otto Payne, G. W. Podd, and C. E. Farnum. The I Field Artillery lineup included: B. H. Bell, P. S. Garner, R. H. Engle field, R. F. Youngblood, J. R. Hov er, A. M. Sims, Q. C. Harvey, and R. Scurloch. The score was tied up at two- all until the last 1 minute and 15 seconds of the game when Nash brought across the winning goal. Nash was by far the outstanding player of the game but both teams showed excellent playing ability. I Field never quit fighting and threatened the Headquarters goal several times in the last 30 min utes of play. play either by way of third or first base, whichever he chooses. As to the sliding into third base, there isn’t any specific rule to that effect, but, from this writer’s point of view, it seenis that the Cleaner team should have been up on its toes and never played for the man at third. Yes sir, it’s mighty amusing but confusing! Sports Squibs From Here And There; Notes on Aggie Athletes Here and Yonder Notes on Aggie athletes here and abroad . . .

YMCA & VARSITY JONES WEST PARK AGGIELAND BARBER SHOPS by John Holman When Jannary 1, 1943, rolls around, all you football fans will probably get to sleep all afternoon instead of listening or attending your favorite post-season football battle. At least that was the gen eral run of opinions expressed this week at the National Football Commissioners meeting in Cincin nati, Ohio. Although the Sun Bowl is the only contest cancelled so far, the only persons who ever seeip in terested in bowl games this year are the groups which sponsor them. Football officials expressed the opinion that the public will be less interested in championships, pennants and bowl contests this year than in any previous year be cause of unsettled conditions due to the war. “It’s just like the absence of championship talk among fans,” said Arthur R. Hutchens of the Southern and Southeastern Confer ences. “People want to see foot ball played during the war, but they’re not thinking about titles or the other fancy trimmings.” Those “fancy trimmings” mean the several million-dollar a year business gathered each year by dozens of pennant, souvenir and program manufacturers, as well as the publicity, fame and fortune heaped on star players and coach es. At the present time, the Amer ican football public shows little I al games. Lack of transportation, indication that it will become more and business worries threatens to than luke warm over possible con- deaden interest and attendance at ference winners, and inter-section- (See BOWL GAME, Page 4) INTRAMDRALS By Mike Mann WE’LL GO 50-50 — YOU FURNISH THE JINGLE AND I’LL FURNISH THE CARTOON.

The Pharmacy boys hit the ball all over the lot to trounce Loupot 10-2. In the other games of the evening the Campus Theatre edged out the Faculty 2-1; Holick’s won over Aggie Cleaners by the score of 15-5; and the Campus Cleaners bounced back after last Monday’s defeat by Loupot’s to win over Madeley’s Pharmacy 13-1. Bill Miller, the Loupot pitcher, proved to be no mystery to Lips comb’s Pharmacy as the latter started out fast in the first inning and scored two runs on bingles by Sims, Smith, Atkins and Puntch. Loupot’s tied up the ball game by pushing across the plate single PROTEST GRANTED The protest handed in by Manager Horace Jennings of the Campus Cleaners was voted in the affirmative by the six managers of the Twi light League in a special meeting held last night. The vote was a majority. This decision as handed down by the managers forces the Lou pot-Campus Cleaner game to be replayed this evening on Diamond 4. Players of both teams are reminded to be present; otherwise a forefeit will result. Jenning’s pro test concerned a play in the final inning of play in which Johnny Hejl flew out to center, passed up a runner and slid into third. The managers ruled that this was fair enough, but the fact that Hejl did not touch second on his run clinched the decision in the Campus Cleaners’ favor. tallies in the first and second inn ings. However, Lipscomb’s Pharm acy, with the help of Clay Atkins’ double, took the lead over in the third inning by scoring two more runs. Both teams then went score less till the sixth inning when Lipscomb’s cinched their victory by scoring six runs. The damaging blow in the sixth inning was Ot to’s triple to right field with the bases full. Clay Atkins, Lipscomb’s shortstop, was the hitting star of the game with two doubles and a single in three times at bat. Campus Theatre, behind the three hit pitching of Bud Rideout, and sparked by -homeruns by Ira Glass and Boots Simmons defeated the profs, 2-1. Glass hit his home- run in the second inning to give the Theatre boys a one run lead which they enjoyed until the fourth (See TWILIGHT, Page 4) For Short Orders or Complete Dinners COME TO DELUXE CAFE Bryan For A Haircut That Will Please Yen Come By Our Shop and Let Us Fix You Up Right Aggieland Barber and Beauty Shop Just North of the P.
