Twilight League Climax Comes Tuesday
When “Shaughnessy” Playoffs Take Form
The climax to a Twilight League
softball season, which patrons here
regard as the most successful in
the eleven-year history, will begin
Tuesday evening when the top four
ipembers of the league start on
the hazardous task of winning the
“Shaughnessey” playoff.
Campus Cleaners, Loupot, Lip
scomb and the Campus Theatre
will form the quartet which will
fight it out for the coveted league
crown. Horace Jennings’ Cleaners
have already clinched the regular
season title, but when it comes to
the playoff, they’re going to be no
better off than the rest of the
teams.
In othr words, the whole thing is
going to be on a fairly even scale
for the four teams in question
since they have acquired the habit
of beating each other in the regu
lar season. Just look at some of
these results. Campus Cleaners
found the going tough twice at the
hands of their first-division oppon
ents, once bowing to Loupot, 6-3
and the other time being thorough
ly and convincingly drubbed by the
Campus. Theatre, 10-0.
However, they have almost com
pletely dominated the scene in their
other engagements with the afore
mentioned. They found Lipscomb’s
an easy prey three times, although
encountering trouble in their first
two encounters, and have beaten
the Theatre and Loupot two out
of three games.
From the facts mentioned above,
it would give the casual observer
the impression that the ensuing
series starting Tuesday should
easily be won by the Cleaners.
True enough, by statistics and pre
vious results, the Cleaners are a
cinch, but when you have had the
priviledge of seeing that particular
theory blown to bits everytime
you utter it, you’ll think twice be
fore picking a team primarily. be
cause it has an edge in statistics.
It’s going to be a rough and
tumble series throughout, with each
of the four teams having an even
chance to crash through to vic
tory. At present, the Cleaners na
turally rate as slight favorites but
you can be sure that when it’s all
over the champion—whoever that
may .be—will know that he’s had
plenty of fight and competition!

Regular Twilight League Season Ends
Monday; Lipscomb-Loupot Tilt Tops Card
Only First Place Is
Cinched; Others To
Be Decided by Mon
Monday evening the Twilight
League clubs will tangle up in the
last games of the regular season.
So far first place has been cinched
by the Campus Cleaners but the
other three places in the play-offs
will be affected by Monday’s tilts.
In the most important game of
the evening Loupot’s Trading Rost
and Lipscomb’s Pharmacy will bat
tle it out for undisputed possession
of second place. At the present
both of these clubs are tied for
second place and the winner of
Monday’s game will take over sec
ond place with the loser falling to
a third place tie with Campus
Theatre, provided the latter wins
their scheduled tilt from the Fac
ulty. In the other games for Mon
day Holick’s Cleaners plays Aggie
Cleaners and Campus Cleaners
takes on Madeley’s Pharmacy.
The play-offs will start Tuesday
evening with the Campus Clean
ers battling the club that lands in
fourth place, and the second place
team taking on the third place
club. The series will be for two
games out of three with the win
ners meeting in a five game series.
Lipscomb’s Pharmacy and Lou
pot’s have split their games so far
this season with each club holding
a victory over the other. Thus the
game Monday will not only decide
second place but als'o will decide
which club comes out ahead in the
tilts for the season between these

Gilbert Wins Over
Whitacre In Open
Tennis Tournament
DuBose Meets Pettit For
Table Tennis Crown; Last
Of Tourneys to be Decided
By Mike Mann
Assistant Sports Editor
With the crowning of Clarence
Gilbert, A Infantry, as tennis
champion in the singles division of
the Open Tournaments, only one
more sport, table tennis," remains
to be decided. Gilbert defeated
Johnny Whitacre of D Field Art
illery to take the tennis singles
championship.
Gilbert lost the first set to
Whitacre by a score of 4-6 but
came back strong in the following
two sets to take them 6-2 and
7-5. This fast finish seems to 1 be
a strong point in Gilbert’s game
since he won the semi-finals match
in a similar manner. '
The table tennis singles champ
ionship will be decided Monday af
ternoon when Bill DuBose, C Coast
Artillery, meets Joe Pettit of A
Infantry ‘in the final round. Both
men have shown excellent play in
previous matches and a nip-and-
tuck battle is expected.
The Open Tournaments close
with the table tennis match and
an end comes to an extremely
successful tournament. This com
petition was planned and sponsor
ed by the Intramural Department
with W. L. Penberthy and Spike
White having charge of most of
the details. An interesting feature
of this tournament was that no
scheduling was done by the de
partment. Each contestant was
responsible for meeting with his
opponent and setting a playing
time. Leaving this detail to the
players did not hurt the contest
in any noticeable manner as for
feits were at a minimum.
Intramural medals were award
ed to all of the champions as they
were decided. The Intramaral of
ficials deserve a vote of thanks
for such favorable results on the
tournament. All participants, win
ners and losers alike, showed swell
spirit in the competition.
The Academic building of Tex
as A. & M. College is located on
a natural divide. The water on
one side of the structure flows
into the Brazos River and that
from the other side into the Nava-
sota River.
A full card of events in both the
Junior and Senior divisions of men
and womeri have been scheduled
and new records are expected to
be set during the two day swim
ming meet.

the Texas Aggie stars Bob Taylor,
Danny Gneen, and Bob Cowling.
Green and Taylor are freestylists
while Cowling specializes in the
breast stroke.
