Fast Aggie Rodeo Attraction Friday And
Saturday Is Feature of Sports for Weekend
One of the oldest American
sports—the rodeo—will be given
an Aggie complexion this week
end when members of the A. & M.
Saddle and Sirloin Club present
their 24th annual bronc-busting
affair this Friday and Saturday.
I’ve personally seen but three
or four rodeos in my life, but
everyone provided as much thrills
to me as any other sport. Since I
first had my glance at the popu
lar American sport, I’ve decided
to make every rodeo I can.
And the type of rodeo the Ag
gies put on every year before the
cadets and residents of and near
by College Station is certainly
nothing to be sneezed. It’s the
same kind of thrills and spills as
that of a big-time rodeo, with all
the familiar events and the atmos
phere of the bronc-riding sport pre
sent. Calf-roping, bare-back and
saddle-bronc riding, wild bull rid
ing, roping, and other wide varia
tions of hard-riding entertainment
are only a portion of the events
to be presented by the Saddle and
Sirloin Club at Bryan this week
end.
As you probably already know,
the Aggies are one of the very
few colleges to hold a full-time
rodeo, and many followers of the
fast and dangerous sport will at
test to the fact that the Aggies
heretofore have always put on a
grand show. Prizes are awarded
the contestants and each and
everyone gives everything he has
to come out on top.
This week’s rodeo will mark the
first time the Saddle and Sirloin
club has ever presented the sport
in the summer time, but due to
the present conditions and the
speed-up program at Aggieland, it
was deceided that it would be best
to have the program this summer.
Rodeo Director Marvin McMil
lan and his cohorts have done a
great job in pushing this rodeo
to its present pace and preparing
a program that will inevitably be
popular with everyone concerned.
Let’s not have the hard work put
in by these boys go for naught,
but instead hock your roomate’s
sliderule or radio and get four-
bits for the show.
Don’t forget the big opening is
Friday, so let’s all try and make
crar way clear to Bryan!

However, as he puts, “the Aggies
will still win while the other teams
—Rice, Texas and S. M. U. are
slitting their own gullets.” . . .
Among the predicted stars for the
’42 session are the Aggies’ own
Leo Daniels and peppery Dub Sib

Knight, Aggie grid squadman and
tracjc letterman. . . “Your quit
ting football certainly does hot
make the corps think that you
are a quitter. . . Instead all of us,
down to the last freshmen admire
you that much more for leaving
aside a game that you so dearly
love. . . As Coach Norton and a
few of the other athletic heads
have told you, it’s just no sense
to jeopardize your career by re
hurting your trick knee. . . You
have a contract and a brilliant
track season in prospect. . . So
your decision in quitting the grid
sport certainly won’t have people
thinking badly of you. . . Knight
suffered a knee injury during the
past track season, and Coach Nor
ton adviced the popular LaGrange
athlete that it would be best to
his interest not to take any chances
on that knee. . . Jimmy contem
plated for a short while before he
finally made his decision—a pretty
wise one in my and the corps’
estimation. . . A few Twlight Lea
gue notes. . . the sudden spurt of
the Holick’s Cleaners finds Lip
scomb’s Pharmacy and the Campus
Theatre in a sweat in their first-
division lair. . . The way Mopey
Smith’s bunch have been going
lately, someone may be due to
make room for the boys. . . Ho
lick’s is only two games out of first
division, and any slip-up by the
fourth-place team may find the
former surging into a first-divi
sion berth. . . Campus Theatre
has suddenly gone on a hitting
spree, especially in their games
withLoupot and Campus Cleaners.
Only a super-human five-run ral
ly nipped the Theatremen against
Loupot, but the league-leading
Cleaners found the full weight of
the former’s strength in the game
last Monday. .. Add to that Charlie
Beasley’s one-hit twirling and the
Theatre may have something be
fore this season is quite over. . .
Gunner Dunn, a batter hitting

Rain Nips TwilightLeague Tilts;
Play to Resume This Evening
A heavy deluge, coming in the
latter part of the afternoon, caus
ed the four Twlight League games
to be called off for the day, but
the tilts will be played as parts of
makeup affairs this afternoon.
Feature of the fracases is the
battle for third place between
Lipscomb’s Pharmacy and the
Campus Theatre. Both telams will
be shooting the “works” as a loss
to either one may jeopardize their
first-division standing. Both are
only two games ahead of the
menacing and dangerous Holick’s
Cleaners ten and a loss in this
game may mean a loss of the first
division.
The Theatreman are slated to
send Willie Zapalac to the mound
for the first time this year in the
Twlight League while Manager
Kyle Drake is slated to counter
with all Donald Puntch, whose
spinner, if it is right, is expected
to give the Theatre plenty of
trouble.
Thirty-Two High School
Stars Already Signed Up
players, some of whom were out
standing during the ’42 inter
scholastic league have already
been signed up by A. & M. College
according to an announcement ori
ginating from the athletic office.
Ten of these including, Marion
Flanagan, Sweetwater’s one man
halfback, and Gus White, fleet
Lamesa back, recently played in
the North-South football classic.
Others, who were members of the
two squads included the following:
Backs—David Daily, (Richmond);
Ends—Bob Sturdivant (Corpus
Christi) and Jack Allison (Aus
tin); Tackles— Clarence Shiflett
(Port Arthur), and Roland Phil
lips (Pampa; Guards—Bill Brent
zel (Huntsville); and Centers—
Payton Sparks (Ysleta).
Flanagan, White and Allison
proved to be stars of the game,
and, according to Lil Dimmitt,
should prove valuable to the Ag
gies in years to come.
“This boy Flanagan can really
tote the mail,” Lil stated, “he’s
plenty big and has lots of drive
and power in that 200-lb frame
of his.
No one town dominated in the
selection of the ball players al
though Dallas did come out ahead
with three. Most of the other
players were found in West Texas
cities.
Other players acquired by the
Aggies included: Backs— Roy Al
len (Colorado' City), Beryl Baty
(Paris), Ernest Genthen (Dallas),
Clyde Swenson (Georgetown, Gil
bert Johnson (Tyler), Wayne
Franks (Bryan), James Jackson
(Bryan), Kenneth Kinsey (Col
lege Station), LeRoy Reeves (Chil
dress), Desmond Zock (Port Ar
thur) and James Presley (Edin
burg); Ends—Roy Smith (Olney;
Tackles—Lawrence Carsen (Dal
las), Ed Wright (Fort Worth), G.
E. Goodson (Electra), Leon Duke
(Roscoe), Sparkey Eberle (Sweet
water), and Milton Routt (Chapel
Hill; Guards—Bernard Ott (Gal
veston), Hans Neumann (Port Ar
thur), Joe Deman (Lufkin), Bill
Hotchkiss (San Antonio), and
James Cowan (Abilene).
Dimmitt explained that these 32
are only a skeleton of the fresh
man squad expected to report
September 28. “There are only the
boys that have sent in their room
reservation fee,” Lil concluded.
Faculty Defeats
Students at Chess
The Faculty Chess players de
feated the Students Chess team
Tuesday night with a score of five
games won to three games lost.
The match was nip-and-tuck all
the way through and the outcome
of the match was uncertain until
the end of the last game.
Following are the results: Dr.
E. P. Humbert organizer of the
faculty team, defeated Tom Le-
land, third man on the students
team, two games; Eugene Can-
field, president of the chess club,
defeated Dr. C. M. Kelly two
games; Dr. S. S. Share dropped
his first game and won his second
against, Leon Weiner, first player
in the students team; and Prof.
J. M. Orchard of the Ag Educa
tion department defeated Ed Har-
aldson, two games.
A rematch will be played again
this following Tuesday night, and
any chess players in the school
who have not attended any chess
club meetings yet are invited by
the club to come out and watch
the match or play games with
other students
Correct Watering
Methods Necessary
To Secure Good Eggs
When laying hens don’t drink
enough water, egg production will
drop as fast, or faster, than when
they fall off in eating, says George
P. McCarthy, poultry husbandman
of the Texas A. and M. College Ex
tension Service. The drop in con
sumption of water in summer most
often is traceable to the drinking
fountain being left in the open
exposed to the afternoon sun.
Normally, hens drink more liq
uids in hot weather than at other
times of the year, but if the water
in the fountain gets too hot the
birds won’t drink enough. A de
cline in consumption of water also
results in a reduction in the size
of the eggs, McCarthy says.
Placing the water fountain inside
the chicken house, or under shade
nearby, will induce the chickens
to drink more freely.
INTRAMURALS
By Mike Mann
A special attention is. called to
the heretofore scheduled games
between Loupot and Madeley’s
Pharmacy and Holicks’ versus the
Aggie Cleaners. Upon a checkup it
was noted that a mistake was
made with the Cleaners and Made-
ley’s being in the wrong slot. To
day, the schedule will be reversed
with Loupot’s taking on the Aggie
Cleaners on Diamond 7 and Ho-,
lick’s battling it out with Madeley’s
on Diamond 6.
