Wayne Cure, Aggie Guard, Has Plenty Of
Potentialities to Become Football Star
I was glancing over the new
football dope book put out by the
A. & M. Publicity Department and
one name above all seemed to im
press me more than anything else.
It was in the “Squadmen” section
of the book that I happened to
run across Wayne Cure’s name.
Cure? Let’s see,” you’re probab
ly saying to yourself,” “where
have I heard that name before.”
Oh! Yeah, now I remember, he
played some football for the Tex
as Aggies last year.”
Yep, that’s right fans. Wayne
Cure is the boy who was sub guard
last year, but a boy who showed
so many potentialities that coaches
are expecting plenty from him
this fall.
Here’s what the dope book has
to say about the 205-lb gridster:
:Here is a boy that has the possibil
ities of being a fine guard if he
turns on the heat. He is rough and
tough enough to give the starters
plenty to worry about if he makes
up his mind to go after it.”
Notice the few “ifs” inserted in
the statement. Those ard the hur
dles Wayne will have to overcome
if he becomes the star he should
be.
Last fall and spring, time and
again, fans and railbirds alike,
would remark what possibilities
Cure really had. And, at times,
during spring training, he would
accomodate the fans with a glit
tering performance, but then fall

off and get a bit far behind.
I’ll say this for Wayne. He is
rough, tough as they and has plen
ty of stamina. If he would only
apply himself to the job of play
ing football, there is no doubt in
my mind or any of the coaches’
mind that there would be a great
football star.
Cure has all the makings of a
great guard-—he is big, fast and
sure-footed, and should he ever de
cide that he has possibilities of
'becoming that great guard, then
watch his fire. He is sure to see
plenty of service this fall, but
should he put his mind up to it,
don’t be surprised to see the name
“Cure” in the starting lineup come
September 26!

their football all over the coun

Danny Green, Cadet freshman,
took off third-place honors in the
mile and the 880-yard events in
recent National swimming meet
held at New London, Connecticut.
Danny’s showing in the latter
event was especially remarkable
since the two winners, Bill Smith
and Leo Nakama, broke the world’s
record in annexing the honors. . .
In the mile, Danny was swimming
second for 26 of the 28 lengths be

surprising Theatre team. A four-
run rally in the opening -stanza
plus another three run in the fifth
clinched the game for Holick’s. Art
Hogge pitched for the winners
scattering seven hits. Holick’s got
but six hits themselves but some
wildness on the part of Pitchers
Donald Funtch and Andy Cokinos
contributed greatly to the scoring
spree.
Loupot’s Trading Post advanced
a notch by their 9-2 victory over

ed out by the winners, with Lee
Ramage leading the hitting spree
with three safe blows including a

INTRAM HRALS
By Mike Mann
Spike White, assistant director
of intramural sports brings news
of ex-Aggies who were prominent
in Intramural activities while at
tending A. & M. Spike visited Fort
Sill, Oklahoma, this week end and
while there saw Bob Myers, As
sistant Sports Editor of the Bat
talion, 1940-41, and Lt. Jack Tay
lor, 1941-42 captain of 3rd Head
quarters Field Artillery, who are
stationed at that post at the pre
sent time.
Lt. Myers is mess officer, hav
ing charge of the mess facilities
for three different groups of of
ficers. Lt. Taylor is organizing
an intramural program and re
quested that Spike send him rule-
books and various forms used by
the local department. Jack also
asked Spike to tell the boys in the
old outfit that he receives the
Batt regularly and doesn’t want
to see 3rd Headquarters Field in
the Doghouse or else - -
Incidentally, the size of the Dog
house is greatly reduced today.
Let’s hope this is an omen of fu
ture absences of teams from the
Doghouse. This time freshmen in-
tramurallists lead the Class A con
testants in the intramurals.
