Some Twilight League Softball Highlights;
Campus Cleaners Show Great Improvement
It’s down the home-stretch drive
for Aggieland’s Twilight League,
with only five more games re
maining on the schedule. The race
is slated to close Monday, August
24, and the “Shaughnessy” play
off between the four teams of the
first division expected to follow
on the next day.
Holick’s Cleaners is the only
second-division team at the pres
ent with any chance of surging in
to the playoffs. They are only two
games behind the fourth-place
Campus Theatre team, and it
would not be impossible to over
come that advantage. The other
three top teams should find no
trouble in holding down a playoff
berth.
It took eight weeks to find out
who the top team of the league
' would be, but it finally dawns upon
the spectator and the Twilight
League teams who that particular
leader is. For a long time, the
Campus Cleaners kept themselves
in obscurity. In fact, it was not
until last week that they surged
into first place, but, brother, when
they did they really did it in a
convincing fashion.
Since that time, they’ve been
bowling over team after team, and
with a two-game lead under their
belts it seems almost sure that the
Cleaners will come out winners in
the regular round-robin race. Man
ager Horace Jennings’ softballers
have shown plenty of hustle in
winning their games and all credit
should be duly given them.
The Cleaners still have five
games to go, and it would be no
surprise if they tripped along the
way, but, take it from this corner,
it’s going to take plenty of steam
from the second-place Loupot ten
to catch up with the leaders.

C Field Artillery took themselves
irjto the final round by defeating
the B Coast Artillery freshmen

was found to be using ineligible
men without knowing it.
Both of the teams have an en
viable record in the playoffs and
have won all of their games by de-
csive scores. The results of the C
Field-B Coast Artillery game
Thursday night showed a score of
36-12 in favor of the Field team.

defeated F Engineers 17-0 in a no

chalked up three safeties each.
The Forfeit Doghouse is still too
large and not much sign is seen of
any let-up. Many of these forfeits
are caused by misunderstandings

Campus Cleaners-Theatre Tilt Tops
Four Games to be Played Mon. Evening
Four more games will be rolled
off in the Twilight League Monday
evening. In probably the most im
portant game pi the evening the
Campus Cleaners, the current lea
gue leaders, will clash with the
Campus Theatre who are at the
present in fourth place. In the
other games of the day Holick’s
Cleaners meets Liscomb’s Phar
macy, Madeley’s Pharmacy faces
Aggies Cleaners, and the Faculty
confronts Loupot’s Trading Post.
In the two previous clashes be
tween the Campus Cleaners and
Campus Theatre the Cleaners
have soundly trounced the Theatre
boys. The latter will be out to
make amends for the past and will
be endeavoring to reduce the lea
gue leader’s lead. The Holick-Lip-
scomb tilt should he very close as
Holick’s is trying hard to earn a
place in the first division in order
to be eligible for the play-offs. The
Faculty has played tie games in
their last two contests and will be
out either to tie or win from Lou
pot’s boys.
Following is the schedule and
diamonds for Monday evening:
Holick’s vs. Liscomb’s Pharmacy—
Diamond 4
Campus Cleaners vs. Campus
Theatre—Diamond 7
Madeley’s Pharmacy vs. Aggie
Cleaners—Diamond 9
Faculty vs. Loupots—Diamond 6
