Ags Swim SW AAU Meet at Dallas Today
A Few Notes on the Twilight League Race;
Lipscomb’s and Theatre Show Much Promise
Just when it seemed that at last
the Twilight League had found a
favorite in its midst, then every
thing went haywire again. For 10
consecutive games, Loupot’s Trac
ing Post looked as unbeatable as
the Yankees, but something snap
ped the past two tilts, and now
Lou’s boys find themselves one
game behind the surprising pace
setters, Campus Cleaners.
Now the Cleaners hold the-reins,
but their lead is none too secure
for any of the eight clubs in the
league are likely to pull a fast one
and easily upset the favorite. Each
of the teams in the second division
hold some upset or other over the
four top teams—Campus Cleaners,
Loupot’s, Lipscomb’s Pharmacy
and the Campus Theatre.
For example two of the Aggie
Cleaners’ three victories were over
the Campus Cleaners and the The
atre by the respective score of
3-1. The Faculty holds a 1-0 de
cision over Loupot; Madeley’s
Pharmacy surprised Lipscomb’s in
a recent tilt, 3-1; and Holick’s
Cleaners really put it on the Cam
pus Cleaners and Loupot’s, the two
leading teams of the league.
And so it has been throughout
the Twilight League season. There
is still another month to go—the
season ends August 24—and any
thing can happen. At the present
time, the wind points toward the
Campus Cleaners, Loupot’s, Lips
comb’s Pharmacy and Campus
Theatre being in the “Shaughnes-
sey” playoff come the end of the
race. All four have been playing
far better ball than the other quar
tet, and there is no reason why one
or more of the teams should sud
denly fold up.
Two teams that have been show
ing exceptional improvement in
their past few games are Lips
comb’s Pharmacy and Campus
Theatre. The former one really hit
its stride against Loupot’s last
Wednesday night, pounding out a
10-2 win. Clay Atkins, Johnny
Roberts and Milton Sims are still
the main cogs of the team and the
way they go is the way Lips
comb’s Pharmacy will go.
The Theatre, finally finding some
hitting power from its fancy field
ers, is likely to give a few of the
higherups a good thrashing before
the season is over. During the early
part of the year hitting was nil on
the team, but during the past few
days, it has been one of the main
characteristics. Bill Black, fast
first sacker, Boots Simmons, sec
ond baseman, Bob and Bill Walker,
and Ira Glass have been slamming
the ball at a respectable clip in
the past few tilts, and they may
prove to be just the tonic the The
atre needs for that down-the-
stretch drive.

Meyer Dominates
Play In ’Mural
Open Tournament
Dave Meyer, C Battery Coast
Artillery senior from San Antonio,
is dominating the scenes of the
Intramural department’s open tour
naments as these matches reach
the closing rounds of play. Meyer
is in the finals bracket of the
horseshoe singles and is scheduled
to meet either Curtis, A Coast, or
Burchfield, I Infantry. He and
Caro, 4 CHQ, are slated to meet
to decide the Aggieminton singles
champion.
Meyer and Bill Dreiss, B Coast,
playing in the horseshoe doubles
tournament have taken the cham
pionship in that event. They de
feated Boyd and Barton of B Coast
to take the crown.
Boyd and Barton are not with
out laurels, however, as they have
won the title in the Aggieminton
doubles tournament by defeating
Lanier and James, also of B Coast.
The golf championships will be
decided in the near future. Both
divisions are either in the final
stage or nearing it. Forrest and
Lietz, G Coast, will meet Hancock,
B Field, and Harrison, C Field, in
the doubles final match. In the
singles final Washington, F En
gineers, will play the winner of the
semi-finals round between Ram
sey, Infantry Band, and Jackson,
F Coast.
The singles in handball have not
reached the final rounds but the
finalists will be decided in the
immediate future. Kenny and
Drolesky, both of 1 CHQ, will
meet in a semi-final match while
Nixon, 3 CHQ, will take on the
winner of the match between Bur
gess, 2 CHQ, and Cokinos, H Field,
in the other semi-finals event.

C Cleaners Take Over League
Lead After Downing Loupot
The Campus Cleaners ousted
Loupot’s Trading Post out of
first place and took the lead in
the Twilight League race by de
feating the latter Thursday night
6-2 behind the steady pitching of
Greg Ramsey. The game was a re
played contest which resulted from
the decision of the team managers
on a protest by Horace Jennings,
Campus Cleaner manager in a
game between the two clubs which
was played last Monday.
Both teams were scoreless for
the first two innings but in the
third the Campus Cleaners broke
loose with five runs and chased
Shaw, the Loupot pitcher, from
the mound. Newberry moved over
from shortstop and relieved Shaw
to finally retire the side. The wild
third in which the Campus Clean
ers scored their five runs, was
featured by a tremendous home-
run by Gillette which found a
teammate parked on base,
Loupot’s scored a run in the
fifth inning as Hejl singled and
advanced to second base on a
pass ball. From second Hejl came
in on a bingle. In the final inning
Newberry opened with a double
and advanced to third on an in
field out and crossed home plate
as a teammate grounded out.
The Campus Cleaners added
another run in the fifth to bring
the final score 6-2. Ramsey be
sides pitching tight ball helped his
cause with two hits in three times
at bat and scored a run. Dunn and
Daniels conected with doubles
for the winners while Taylor led
Loupot’s batters with two hits.
game and a pitchers* duel was on!
F. Riley did the hurling for the
Engineers and W. W. Wilson han
dled the pitching chores for the
Replacement Center. The final
score was: B Engineers 4, D Re
placement Center 2.
Other Class A softball games
saw B Signal Corps wallop A
Chemical Warfare 14-9 while C
Field Artillery defeated Headquar
ters Cavalry 8-6. The 3rd Stoop
Quartermasters beat H Infantry
9-2 and 2 Headquarters Field Ar
tillery took A Coast Artillery in
a close one by a score of 4-1.
Artillery Band nosed out C En
gineers 10-9 in another fast Class
B softball game. A Cavalry pour
ed it on A Signal Corps to win to
the tune of 14-4 and F Coast Ar
tillery whipped C Infantry 9-6.
The crowning of the champion
team in Class B swimming has
been delayed because one of the
winning teams has been disquali
fied. A number of the games have
to be replayed in one of the brack
ets. 3rd Headquarters Field Artil
lery is in the finals bracket wait
ing for the disputed games to be
replayed. Class A tennis is still in
the playoff stages but C Infantry
is the quarter-finals resting until
an opponent is decided.
