    Aggie Gridsters Face One of Toughest
Schedules in School’s History This Fall
Replacement Center Wins VolleyballTitle
Winners Annex Class B Intramural
Sport by Scores of 15-9 and 15-11
The Corpus Christi Naval Base
schedule finally completes the Ag
gies’ 1942 card and it’s one of
the toughest ones ever taken by
the Maroon and White gridsters.
Starting with the L.S.U. game
and ending with the Washington
State tilt, not one fracas can be
classed as a “breather.” in years
gone by, the Aggies had a knack
for scheduling a push-over to
serve as an opener, but Coach
Bernie Moore’s Tigers of L.S.U.
are noted for their rough and
ready teams and the report from
Baton Rouge states that this year’s
crop is more than adequate to
give any team in the nation a
tough tussle.
From Baton Rouge, the Aggies
move to their home grounds to
face a Texas Tech team that for
years upon years has been putting
out powerful teams. Morley Jen
nings, former Baylor university
football coach, is director of the
athletic program at Tech and it’s
safe to say that the former uncan
ny Bear mentor and Coach Dell
Morgan will see that the Red Raid
ers have a fiery squad out on the
gridiron.
Duke university previously was
on the Aggie schedule for October
10, but it has since been cancelled
and the Corpus Christi Naval Air
Station put in its stead. If the
Aggies thought they had substi
tuted a relatively easy team, they
were unduly mistaken. For Coach
Lt. Marty Karow has in his midst
some of the greatest array of foot
ball material ever compiled in any
college, with some six former All-
Americans serving as a nucleus.
Such names , as George Franck,
Dave Rankin, Ed Frutig, Bob Sag-
gau and others are only a sample
of what Corpus has to offer in
way of competition.
Then come the six conference
games and those are as tough tilts
as there are in the whole country.
December 5 and Washington State
ends the Aggie slate, but even
there the Aggies will find plenty
of headaches.
There you have one of the
toughest schedules in the nation.
Each team flanked with power
from bottom to top—the teams the
Aggies will have to face week
after week from September 25
through December 5. Coach Homer
Norton’s crew will be after their
fourth consecutive conference title
and you can bet your life that
should the Cadets come through
with that “suicide” schedule still
intact, they will really be cham
pions—no question about that!
September 7 is the date the boys
will start their fall training—a
training intent upon garnering an
other Southwest Conference foot
ball crown!
Sports Squibs From Here and There; Danny
Green May be Greatest of All Aggie Tankers
Danny Green, sensational fresh
man swimmer on the Aggie team,
has a great chance to earn the
distinction of “the greatest swim
mer in A. & M. history” . . . Al
ready, as a freshman, he compiled
a great showing in his initial start
this past week at the juniof and
senior AAU meets at Dallas . . .
This boy George Heaney,
freshman on Coach Art Adamson’s
swim team, is another one of those
boys that will have to bear watch
ing . . . How many times have you
heard of the phrase, “Athletes are
dumb” . . . Well, Felix Bucek and
Willie Zapalac certainly didn’t fall
into that class as each knocked
off 52 and 47 g. p.’s respectively
in the midterm grades ... Of
course those are only two exam
ples, but it’s enough to convince
some of the howlers that you do
have to have a braincell or so even
to be an athlete . . . Twilight
League notes from here and there

plan a schedule of a game a week
with Bryan entries . . . the Cam

Playing with the skill of a pre
cision machine, the C Replacement
Center freshmen annexed the Class
B volleyball championship yester
day evening as they defeated E
Infantry in two successive games.
The Replacement Center team took
the first game by a score of 15-9
and the second with a tally of
15-11. The matches were refereed
by J. J. Bardgette, Intramural
Departmental Manager.
The Infantrymen put up strong
resistance but were outplayed by
the Replacement Center team, who
showed much cooperation and skill
in their efforts. With only a few
exceptions the Replacement Center
squad played a flawless game and
gave a display of “volleyball as it
should be played.”
The lineup for C Replacement
Center was: W. W. Wilson, G. E.
Wilhite, L. Cantu, E. H. Bruce,
G. L, Chastain, R. C. Flowers, and
0. F. Schwanke. The Juaior Re
creational Assistant for the Re
placement Center is Forest Arm

The E Infantry roster included:
D. D. Pollen, J. J. Rollins, C. R.
Perry, R, W. Sparks, R. L. Butch-
otsky, and S. A. Dines. R. J. Bas

exhibition. Each cadet fired 16
rounds in 70 seconds.

Easy Win at Jr and Sr
AAU Meets at Dallas Sat
Four members of the Texas Ag
gie swimming team, George Hean
ey, Bob Taylor, Danny Green and
Bob Cowling, left last night for
New London, Connecticut to parti
cipate in the National AAU swim
ming meet to be . held there Aug
ust 7, 8, and 9.
This quartet of swimmers was
instrumental in Coach Art Adam
son’s Aggie swimming team’s vic
tory last week-end in the South
western AAU swimming champion
ships which were held at Lake Cliff
park in Dallas. The Aggie tankers,
who had previously won the junior
division title, scored 94 points for
an easy walkaway in the senior
men’s division. The runner-up
team, University Park scored only
18 points, which is convincing proof
of the superiority Coach Adam
son’s men demonstrated.
Individual honors for the meet
were carried off by Danny Green
of A. & M., Coach Adamson’s sen
sational freshman from Dallas.
Green registered 20 points in
winning three events, and set a new
record for the 220 yard free style,
swimming the distance in 2 min
utes 23.6 seconds.
In the junior division of the meet
which \$as held the £lay before
the senior, the Aggies also walked
off with the title. In this division
the Aggies won five events out
of a total of nine, to pile up 56
points.

Cleaners; Madeley’s
And Faculty Play Tie
Holick’s Cleaners behind the two-
hit pitching of Art Hogge upset
Loupot’s Trading Post 1-0. The
Campus Cleaners stretched their
league lead to two games by
trouncing Lipscomb's Pharmacy by
the score of 11-3. In the other
games of the evening the Campus
Theatre moved into third place in
the league standings by defeating
the Aggie Cleaners 11-4, and the
Faculty and Madeley’s Pharmacy
played an eight inning tie game
5-5.
The Holick-Loupot tilt was one
of the fastest and tightest games
of the season. Both teams went
scoreless till the fifth inning when
Hogge won his own ball game by
connecting with a hit that scored
Maley with the lone run of the
ball game. With one down in the
fifth Maley walked and advanced
to second hs Slaughter reached
base on an error; Hogge then
came through with his bingle to
bring Maley across the plate. Lou-
pot garnered their two hits in the
first inning as Reese and Taylor
connected with singles. After the
first inning Hogge pitched hitless
ball and after that with the ex
ception of the fourth inning when
Taylor reached first on an error
not a single Loupot runner reached
base. Johnny Hdjl in losing the
game pitched four hit ball and
matched Hogge’s pitching ball for
ball except in the fifth when Hol
ick’s scored their winning run.
The Campus Cleaners went to
work fast and scored their eleven
runs in the first four innings- and
then coasted in to victory. The
Cleaners knocked out of the box
Puntch, Lipscomb’s starting pitch
er, in the second inning and con
tinued to slug the ball at the ex
pense of Andy Cokinps who had re
lieved Puntch. Lipscomb’s rallied
fo rthehir three runs in the third
inning.
The Campus Theatre had a big
inning, the fifth inning when they'
scored five runs, in their game
witih the Aggie Cleaners. Up to
this point the game was tight
with the Campus Theatre leading
by 6-4. The five run outburst by
the Theatre boys brought the final
score 11-4. ,

Coach Homer Norton announced
late Saturday that negotiations
have been completed with the Cor
pus Christi Naval Air Station for
a football game October 10 which
fills the only remaining open date
on the Aggie’s 1942 schedule. This
open date resulted from the can
cellation of the scheduled Duke
University clash which was to have
been played in Raleigh, North Car
olina.
The Corpus Christi Naval Air
Station team is coached by Lieu
tenant Marty Karow, who until a
few weeks ago was backfield coach
of the Aggies. With a galaxy of
stars including six former All-
Americans on his squad, Coach
Karow is expected to turn out
one of the strongest football ag
gregations that the 1942 season
will be privileged to see. Coach
Norton has already volunteered
the information that he expects
this to be the toughest game on
the Aggies’ schedule.
The game will be played in
Corpus Christi, and will be a char
ity affair, all proceeds going to the
joint Army-Navy Relief Fund.
The complete 1942 schedule for
the Aggies is as folows: Sept. 26,
L. S. U. at Baton Rouge; Oct. 3,
Texas Tech at College Station; Oct.
