Basil Hoyle and Bob Buntin Deserve Much
Praise for Their Work Behind Grid Scenes
Have you ever thought of the
men who work behind the scenes
of the gridiron team?—the boys
who tak£ care of all the football
togs, the fellas who are around
when the medicine chest is needed,
the boys who take care of the many
incidentals which, in effect, make
up a football squad?
No, I don’t guess you did—and,
neither did I until now. This job
was more than capably attended
to by Jimmy Parker, now serving
his country, for the past two or
three years. Now the reins are
being adequately handled by Bob
Buntin, sophomore, and Basil Hoyle
junior. Just a bit more on the boys.
Last year, both served as as
sistants to Parker and when he
enrolled at Ellington Field, Bob
and Basil took over one of the
toughest jobs on this campus—
that of taking care of all athletic
regalia. And they did a grand job!
Checking and re-checking shoes,
sweat shirts, baseball, football,
basketball, and track clothes is not
an easy venture as it might seem
to be. The way Hoyle and Buntin
handled the job, however, one would
think there was nothing to it, but
just you ask the two hardworking-
student managers.
At any rate, this corner takes
time out to salute the boys for a
job well done. The football team
may gather most of the honors
this coming fall, but there’ll be
an orchid or two handed out to
the fellas behind the gridiron scene.
Pm sure of that.
Sa, let’s all take our hats off
to Bob Buntin and Basil Hoyle
for doing a great job! They deserve
it.

’42 Aggie Gridsters in First Practice
Here are those Texas Aggie varsity gridsters as they go through
their paces in preparation for the opening game of the 1942 gridi
ron season against L. S. U. Sept. 26.
Photo at upper-left shows Ben Stout, left, and J. B. Montgomery,
two tackles who tip the scales at over 200 pounds, talking things
over with G. Byron Winstead, A. & M. Director of Publicity.
At the upper right Jake Webster, fullback, comes through the line
under the keen eye of Coach Homer Norton. Ray Mulhollan, guard,
is the blocker nearest Norton.
The photo at right center shows Norton giving a few pointers to
to his boys. Left to right are: Wingback George Wilde, Norton,
Tailback Barney Welch, Back Vernon Belville and Ends Pete Slaugh

Leo Daniels, Aggie backfield star, is shown at the lower left

With only Class A and B Softball
leagues yet to be completed, In-
ramural activity for the current
semester will close out next week,
providing old Jupiter Pluvrius is
willing. The semi-finals of Class
A Swimming and Class B Water
Polo will take
place in P. L.
Downs, Jj. Na-
tatorium this
evening and the
final bouts will
follow soon. Class
A Volleyball and
Class B Tennis
are now moving
Mike Mann into the semi
final stage. The latter two sports
will be completed slightly later
than the swimming events.
FORFEIT DOGHOUSE
CLASS B PLAYOFFS
I Field Artillery, tennis
Class B softball found two of
the games which have been post
poned being played off. E Field
Artillery participated in both
games and proved victorious in
both. They defeated D Cavalry 13-8
and A. M. Soreson, Artillery hur-
ler, held E Engineers in check as
the E Battery fish took another
victory 20-2.
Again attention is called to the
fact that the Intramural program
is now being conducted on a one-
semester basis; that is, a college
champion in each division is crown
ed for each semester and is given
the honor of carrying the intra
mural flag for the following period.
This eliminates the old plan of us
ing two semesters to decide a
champ. With the beginning of the
fall semester the slate will be clean
and all outfits will have an equal
chance to take the championship
instead of having to wait another

Rains Again Foil
Aggies’ Workouts;
Scrimmages on Tap
The Texas Aggie grid squad,
still hampered by incessant rains,
went through a light workout yes
terday afternoon, with passes and
kicking being especially stressed.
Only light body contact was used
as a sudden downpour late in the
afternoon foiled Coach Homer
Norton’s schedule once more.
However, Coach Norton and his
staff are planning long and tedious
workouts, featuring full-fledged
scrimmages. Time is getting short,
with less than three weeks remain
ing before the season’s opener
with L. S. U.
The team followed its regular
workout yesterday with a “skull”
session in the Physics lecture room.
Norton and “Uncle Bill” James,
line coach, primarily discussed nu
merous plays and defensive and
offensive Aggie tactics.
Leo Daniels, the Aggie triple
threat ace, continued his brilliant
work, especially through the air.
Leo completed pass after pass to
such stalwart receivers as Cullen
Rogers, Bill Henderson, Willie Za-

Water Polo Semi-finals
The summer intramural program
is coming to an end with playoffs
in the final stages. Class A Swim
ming and Class B Water Polo
semifinals will be played tonight.
In Class A Swimming, A Coast
Artillery meets F Field Artillery
and H Coast swims against B
Signal Corps. In the Class B
waterpolo semi-finals E Infantry
runs up against B Infantry and
A Cavalry takes on F Coast.
A Coast Artillery advanced to
the semi-finals by winning over
G and C Coast Artillery. Most of
the swimming for A Battery has
been done so far by Curtis, Lane,
Boyles, Peters, Smith, Litterst, Al
len, Adams, and Clark and these
same boys will probably face the
F Field Artillery team which is
composed of Jones, Baird, Stabling,
Mohle, Jonsson, Nelson, and Pear-

It’s the Same Old
Story-Rains Came,
Playoffs Are Postponed
Ho! Hum. It’s getting to be
monotonous these days but the
final series of the Lipscomb-Cam-
pus Cleaners game is yet to be
played. For the fourth consecutive
day, Jupiter Pluvius interruped
proceedings, and both teams are
wondering when that day comes
when ole Sol will shine upon one
of the 10 diamonds.
At any rate, some kind of game
is scheduled for today. The Clean
ers still hold a one-game lead in
the two-out-of-three game series,
having won the initial tilt by the
score of 4-3.
Both managers, Kyle Drake of
Lipscomb’s and Horace Jennings
of the Campus Cleaners plan to
start their original first game hur-
lers, Andy Cokinos and Jimmy
Daniels, respectively. Game time
will be 5:30 on the driest dliamond.
