Twilight League Playoffs to Be This Evening
Aggie Footballers at a Slight Disadvantage;
To Have Gridiron Practice Only Once a Day
As if the loss of three of his as
sistants was not enough, •Coach
Homer Norton and the rest of his
aides will also be at a slight dis
advantage when fall training comes
around September 5. Whereas other
conference schools will be going
on a two-a-day schedule, A. & M’s
gridiron warriors will have to be
contend with an afternoon session
only. Reason? Well, the boys do
have to go to school sometime.
With some 35 of the expected
60 footballers going to school this
summer, it’s going to take all the
efforts of Coach Norton, Lin,e
Coach Bill James and assistants
Lil Dimmitt and Manning Smith
to mold a respectable football
machine for the opening tilt, Sep
tember 26.
Heretofore, Norton and his staff
operated twice daily during fall
training. The hot sun and the
morning opened the festivities in
the by-gone years and followed on
through the afternoon until the
sun set its final ray in the west.
Scrimmages were at a minimum
rate in the morning schedules,
with limbering up excercises and
short but snappy drills dominating
the scene. The afternoon, then,
would be crowded with heavy drills
and scrimmages, getting most ,of
the heavy work off during that
period.
However, now Coach Norton will
not have that extra morning hour
in which to condition his gridsters.
Instead, all that, along with the
other serious business, will have
to be attended to during the after
noon.
It’ll be full steam ahead Septem
ber 7. Uniforms and the other
formalitites will be tended to at
the opening day of practice, Sep
tember 5, and the following Mon
day you’ll see the gridsters prac
ticing as if for a tough mid-sea
son game! That’s the way things
will have to be if Norton hopes to
get the boys in shape for the gruel
ling season to come. It’s a tough
road to hoe and it’s going to take
plenty of bumps and humps be
fore the going is a bit ironed out!

Lipscomb-Theatre
Tie for Third As
Loupot Nips Pharm
Holick’s Score 8-2 Win
Over Ag Cleaners; Twilight
League Race Comes to Close
The Twilight League regular sea
son came to a close last night as
Loupot’s Trading Post ' defeated
Lipscomb’s Pharmacy 2-1 behind

In the Loupot-Lipscomb game

as he struck out nine of Lipscomb’s
batters and held them to a single
bingle. In the first three innings
Shaw retired seven of the ten bat
ters that faced him by the strike
out route and up to the fifth in
ning he had a no hit game. In the
fifth Shaw walked Ogdee and Mar-
oney, and then Scharper spoiled a
perfect game by lining a single
into left field, and bringing in Og
dee across the plate with the lone
Lipscomb run. Drake who was on
the mound for the pharmacy boys
pitched good ball allowing only
six hits but three of these were
bunched in the second inning when
hits by Hejl, Miller, and Reese ac
counted for the two Loupot runs.
This win gave Loupot’s undisputed
possession of second place and drop
ped Liscomb’s Pharmacy to a ,third
place tie with the Campus Theatre.
With Dutch Albert pitching
tight ball the Campus Theatre
came from behind and defeated

ing and were leading 2-1 when
the Theatre boys exploded with a
seven run rally in the last inning
to win the game.

hits and made as many runs in
winning over the Aggie Cleaners
8-2. Holick’s scored three runs in

In Spotlight Tonight
Tonight marks the beginning of •
the playoffs to decide the champ
ionship of the Twlight League, and
all four teams are ready to go.
With Campus Cleaners, the team
which finished No. 1 in the season’s
standings facing Campus Theatre,,
and Loupot’s teeing off against
Liscomb’s Pharmacy, the fans are
assured of some hot and heavy ac
tion.
The first round of playoffs will
consist of the best two out of three
games, and the two winners who
emerge from these frays will face
each other in the finals, the winner
to be determined by the best three
out of five contests. Games will
be played tonight, Wednesday and
Thursday, if necessary, to deter
mine which two teams will face
each other in the finals, and the
finals will be played off next week.
Of the games to be played to
night, Campus Cleaners seem to
rate a slight edge over Campus
Theatre, and Liscomb’s Pharmacy
and Loupot’s is a £ossup. In their
three previous encounters of the
season, Campus Cleaners have tak
en the Campus Theatre twice, 4-0
and 7-2, while losing once to them
to the tune of 10-0. In two pre
vious encounters Liscomb’s and
Loupot’s' are even, Loupot’s hav
ing won once 8-1 and Lipscomb’s
took the other encounter 10-2.
Campus Cleaners face Campus
Theatre on Diamond 4, and Lou
pot’s will tangle with Liscomb’s on
Diamond 9. All games will start
promptly at 7:00 o’clock.
The first step toward cure is
to know what the disease is.
