Coach Adamson, who was very
much interested in Green even
before the tanker had beaten his
squardmen to back them up, this
slot is plenty deep with good men.
The guards too are in good shape
with Weldon Maples and Ray Mul-
hollan probable starters backed up
by Felix Bucek and Wayne Cure,
all of these men having plenty of
experience under fire. At center
is all-conference Bill Sibley, and
backing him up are lettermen
“Slats” Holder and Arthur Mer
cer.
In the backfield Norton has a
wealth of material with Leo Dan
iels Jake Webster, Willie Zapalac,
and Cullen Rogers probably re
ceiving the starting assignments.
“Bounding” Bobby Williams is
slated to see plenty of service,
however, and Ed Sturcken is also
being counted on heavily.
In addition to the men already
named, there are numerous sopho
mores who have come up from last
year’s powerful freshman outfit,
and who will be in there hustling
all the way.
If the tackle problem can be
worked out, the 1942 edition of the
Aggies will be capable of dealing
out plenty of misery to its op
ponents, but with the toughest
schedule of any team in the south
west on/tap, and with woefully
short time to practice, on account
of the speedup plan, the road
ahead looks plenty long and plenty
rough.

events—his specialties—all over
the state that even today he’s re
garded as the Southwestern AAU
outdoor and indoor champion of
those particular events. Today he
still holds the Southwestern out
door records in both the 220 and
440 yard free styles.
Defeats Bob Taylor
However, his biggest thrill came
when he defeated A. & M.’s Bobby
Taylor, then Art Adamson’s ace
free stylist. Danny came down to
the P. L. Downs, Jr. Natatorium
in 1941 and gave Taylor a good
thrashing in the 220 and 440 yard
free style events, something that
Taylor excelled in before he bump
ed against the Dallas ace.
star, finally convinced Danny of
the possibilities at A. & M. and
that’s where the former Adamson
High School swimmer went fol
lowing a great season with the
Athletic Club.
Still Breaking Records
Since he has been here this
summer, Green hasn’t been stop
ped in his record-breaking zeal.
He found the competition none too
hard at the recent Southwest AAU
indoor meet at Dallas, although
he wasn’t out to- set any records,
but primarily swam for the pur
pose of gathering team points.
And points he did gather, enough
to be high point man of the meet
and lead the Ags to another vic
tory.
At New Orleans, however, Danny
swam for the records and today
the books have a new mark for
the 440-yard free style event as
far as the Southwestern AAU meet
at New Orleans is concerned.
Has Been Beaten Before
Hm! All that looks good enough,
but hasn’t this little speedster been
beaten? Oh, sure he has and more
than once, but you can be sure
that he wasn’t far behind. For in
stance when he trekked to New
London, Connecticut, for the re
cent National AAU swimming meet
he came in third in the half mile
but the winner in that event had
to break a world’s record to beat
Green. Only this past Sunday he
bowed to Joe Demmer of Tyler in
the 220, but then the latter set a
new Gulf Coast AAU record.
And his first journey to the
Nationals last year? There he
came in third in the 1500 meters
race but again a world’s record
was set by the "winner.
But aside swimming. Danny has
aspirations to become a physical
education instructor in the Navy
after this world conflict is over
with. He is majoring in industrial
education, hoping to graduate
within two years and eight months
as prescribed by the new speed-up
program at Aggieland.

Scrap Collecting
Campaigns Starts
Friday Morning
The first collection of all avail
able scrap metal will take place
Friday, September 4 under the di
rection of the newly appointed Sal
vage Committee set up by Presi
dent T. O. Walton, E. N. Holm-
green, business manager of the
college, announced yesterday. The
committee will immediately start
a salvage campaign designed to
collect every available ounce of
scrap material in this and sur
rounding counties.
Composing the committee in
charge of the program to collect
the metal is Dean F. C. Bolton,
Colonel M. D. Welty, and E. N.
Holmgreen, President T. O. Wal
ton stated.
The present need for scrap metal
is very urgent, the committee said,
and all department heads will be
expected to survey all probable
sources of metal in the premises
under their control, and turn in
scrap metal found in their respec
tive departments. There should be
a real, immediate need for any
scrap metal retained, Holmgreen
said.
The “Scrap Pile” will be start
ed in the area just north of the
Petroleum Building and between
the “Bull Ring” and the Petroleum
Engineering Field Laboratory’s
fence.
Trucks from the military de
partment will gather the scrap
metal from the residents on the
campus beginning at 8 o’clock
Friday morning. Scrap should be
placed on the curb before 8 on
the day it is to be picked up on the
first round. Departments with no
means of transportation should
deposit their scrap on the curb in
front of the building and notify
the Commandant’s office before
10 o’clock Friday, September 4.
Collection of the scrap metal
from residents and business estab
lishments off the campus will be
gin, at 10 a. m. Friday, September
4. The commandant’s office should
be notified by 10 a. m. on that day
as to where to pick up metal from
these possible sources. The com
mittees will announce later other
days for collecting scrap metal if
necessary.
Contributions from the college
have already reached . 110,000
pounds of scrap metal. This scrap
included aluminum, tin, brass, steel
and cast iron. Suggestions from
the residents and department mem
bers should be made to the Com
mandant’s office.
String Band in Need
Of Name After Giving
Several Performances
Lately the clubs on this campus
have been entertained by a group
of boys who have gotten together
and organized a string band com
posed of banjos, fiddles, guitars
and a flute.
Otheil “Swede” Erlund is the
leader and Fish Billy F. Ross of
“G” Company Infantry is the of
ficial crooner of the group. Fish
Ross has quite a ^election of back
woods low-down tear-drawing
blues songs mingled here and there
with something more spicy.
This unnamed band is open to
suggestions from the corps for an
appropriate name for their band.
Tomorrow night they will play for
the Spanish Club at 7 o’clock in
room 124 of the Academic Building.
This band made its official de
but at Inter-Collegiate F.F.A.
which led to the formal appearance
at Kadet Kapers during the first
part of this semester. Public ap-
perances made since by this un
named band are: The Saddle and
Sirloin club, the Faculty Dance at
Bryan, the Agronomy Society hay
ride, the Intramural managers
party, the Fish and Game Club,
and the F Company water melon

that everything should be done to
get the softball out of the way.
Last night, the playing fields
were in no condition to be played
but' nevertheless only intramural
softball games were postponed, and
the Twilight League is not a part
of the ’Mural Department.
That was the situation last
night when the big argument be
tween Manager^ Roland Bing of
Loupot’s and Kyle Drake and his
cohort George (Soup) Ogdee
crowded most of the hour in the
middle of the drill field. Bing’s
Loupot team showed up on the pre
cise starting time, while the Phar
macy, thinking that the game was
to be postponed, did not show up.
Today, the managers will have a
question before them: Should Lou
pot play the game with Lipscomb
after showing up under stressed
circumstances or should Lipscomb
be allowed a fair chance to put a
fight and have a chance to go into
the finals with the Campus Clean
ers.
At any rate^a game will be play
ed tomorrow evening at 7. At pre
sent, nothing can be known who
will play but it’s a cinch that the
Loupot Traders will be one of the
teams.
Just to say a bit about this Twi
light League. It all started out so
rosy but it certainly didn’t end that
way. Protests have been frequent
and a few players on certain teams
didn’t play the game just for the
fun of it—they played to argue
and bicker with every play. And
all that will find this Twilight
League in a ticklish position when
next summer rolls around.
