H Coast and E Infantry Annex Intramural Crown
Success of Aggie ’Mural Program
Can Be Attributed to Dept. Mgrs.
The success of Intramural sports
at A. & M. can be attributed in a
large measure to the Intramural
Managers. It is these boys who
organize and administer the Intra
mural Program. The managers
schedule all games and supervise
the playing of all contests. They
are the boys who get the blame
when something goes wrong and
the credit when the program runs
to the best advantage.
In charge of most of the pro
gram are Dave Meyers and ‘Pinky’
Wilson, Senior Managers. Under
the Senior Managers are six Junior
Managers and twenty two Sopho
more Managers. Eachi Junior Man
ager is in charge of all the func
tions related to one sport, and the
complete progress of this sport
from start to finish, is a responsi
bility. The present Junior Managers
are Johnny Mauser, Dave Gillory,
Joe Crownover, Norris Miertsch,
Leland Anderson, and John Full-
bright. Each Sophomore Manager
is assigned to one sport, and it
is his duty to help the Junior who
is in charge of that sport in any
way possible. The sophomores who
are at present connected with the
department are R. H. Sandidge,
Steve Ragar, L. F. Buck, Joe
Beavers, Johnny Bardgette, Sim
Christy, Buddy Denton, Roy Hard
in, Dennis Priest, Eddie Kellam,
Ross Lanier, Phil Shelton, Charlie
Nash, Jack Ourigs, Joe Pettit, Bill
Schaeper, Jack Swenson, Eckley
Schatzman, Bill Trodlier, Jimmy
Welch, Johnny Zummo, and I. M.
Wasserman.

from the ranks of the Sophomore
Managers and in turn the Senior
Managers are selected from the
Juniors. The awards that the
managers receive do not in the
least compensate them for the time
and effort that the positions re
quire but they gain administra
tive training, leadership opportuni
ties and practice, and personality
development that may come in very
handy'later in life.
Each sophomore manager who
finishes two semesters of success
ful work is awarded a light weight
Intramural sweater. Each Junior
manager who finishes two semes
ters of successful work is awarded
a heavy weight Intramural sweater
or a comparable award of his
choice. Each Senior Manager is
awarded a very fine watch or a
comparable award of his choice.

Cullen Rogers Is
Elected Student Rep
On Athletic Council
Cullen Rogers, the Texas Aggie
quarterback, became the second
member of his family to attain the
job of student representative on
the athletic council when he was
elected to that job by his team
mates.
In 1938, Owen (Slick) Rogers
inherited the job after being one
of the Aggies’ top flight football
stars. Cullen was only a freshman
then but already prospects were
blooming that the younger Rogers
would soon take up where his
brother left off.
Cullen also gained another dis
tinction which his elder brother
held here in 1938. During that
year, Owen captained his football
team. The younger Rogers was
elected to co-captain of the baseball
team in the coming year.
H Coast Artillery upperclass
men received the honors of being
the Class A Intramural champion
for the summer semester of the
1942-42 session. With a lead of 15
points over their nearest rivals,
the Coast Artillery team took the
championship in a burst of glory.
Garnering many points near the
end of the season, they swept
ahead of their opponents and took
the crown. J. M. Daniels, Houston,
is the Recreational Officer of the
champions and deserves much cre
dit for guiding his team to these
high honors. Detailed information
on the champs is not available
at this time but a view of the
winning outfit will be given to
gether with a photograph of the
entire squad.

One of the biggest troubles
most freshman have when partici
pating in intramural sports is
knowing the rules of that particu
lar contest. The Battalion, in co
operation with the Intramural De
partment, will attempt, each week,
to print the specific rules of each
sport.
Herewith we present the touch
football rules as made up by the
regulation touch football manual:
The Came: The playing rules of
Intramural Touch Football are the
same as those used for American
Football with the exception of the
regulations listed below.
The Toss and Options: At the
beginning of the game the referee
shall toss a coin and one captain
shall call the toss. The winner of
the toss shave have the option of
goals, and kicking or receiving
the ball. The remaining options
shall be given to the other captain.
At the start of the second half,
goals shall be automatically chang
ed and the captain who lost the
toss shall choose to kick or re
ceive the ball. A second toss shall
determine which team is to wear
shirts.
Number of Playeys: Nine play
ers shall constitute a team. On of
fense at least five players must
be on the line of scrimmage, whe
ther or not a full team is present
and the remaining players at least
one yard behind the line. At least
seven players of a team must be
present before that team can start
the game.
Equipment: Only tennis or bask
etball shoes may be worn. Rub
ber-soled street shoes are not per-
missable.
Yarage on Downs: The field is
divided into 20-yard zones. A team
has four downs to move the ball
from one zone to the next. A first
down results wherein the ball is de
clared dead, any part of which is
on or above the next zone line.
Forward Pass: A forward pass
may be made from anywhere be
hind the line of scrimmage. Any
many on either team is an eligible
pass receiver.
Substitutions: A player, with
drawn during either half, may not
re-enter that half.
Touching: Both hands must touch
the runner simultaneously before
he is considered tackled. The play
er making the touch must be on
balance for the touch to be valid.
Blocking: In all blocking, no part
of the blocker’s body except his
feet shall be in contact with the
ground throughout the block. As
in football, it is not legal to leave
the feet before or during a block.
Unnecessary roughness involved in
blocking will be penalized.
Use of Hands: Defense players
are restricted in the use of their
hands to the shoulders and body
of offensive blockers.
Scoring: If scores are made the
game shall be decided on the usual
basis. But if scores are tied or
no scores are made, the game shall
be awarded to the team making
the most 20-yard penetrations. If
20-yard penetrations are tied, 40-
yard penetrations will decide. If
all of these are tied, the game shall
be declared half won and half
lost. Overtime periods will not be
played. A penetration shall count
when a team carries the ball into
the zone, or comes into possession
of the ball within a zone (inter
cepted pass, recovered fumble,
etc.) provided that they put the
ing all available facilities to pro
vide a constructive and enjoyable
physical training program for the
cadet corps.
Five sports were offered in both
Class A and B competition by the
department during the summer. At
various times during the semester
the sports in progress were soft-
ball, Volleyball, tennis, water polo,
and swimming. The season opened
after much work to schedule and
divide the contestants into leagues,
early in June and the last game
was finished last week.
Only one organization managed
to win two championships and
this was H Coast Artillery, which
won the Class A swimming and
volleyball championships. They
were also runner-ups in Class A
softball. In Class B sports, E In
fantry took the water polo champ
ionship and was the runner-up for
the volleyball crown. The remainder
of the sports were divided between
other outfits.
The department officials report
that, despite the fact that the
number of forfeits for the sum
mer semester were decidedly above
the average for a single semester
the results of the season were
more than satisfactory. The total

nearest rivals by 10 points. D. A.
Beaumont of Port Arthur is the
Recreation Officer of E Infantry
and his junior assistant, the un
sung hero who had charge of the
fish, is R. J. Bassett of Dryden.
The latter has shown great skill
in working with his fish and pro
duced a championship team.
Summer Resume
For the first time in the history
of A. & M. a regular summer In
tramural program has been con
ducted and it has resulted in the
largest and most successful pro
gram in the history of the Intra
mural department. The department
fell in line with the rest of the
college as the year-round program
was inaugurated ^nd has been us-
ball into .play in that zone at least
one time. A 20-yard penetration
is an automatic 40-yard penetra
tion.
FOOTBALL RULES THAT
APPLY TO TOUCH FOOTBALL
Whenever the ball is declared in
possession of a team, provided the
force which sent it to or across the
goal line came from the team de
fending that goal, it is a safety
and was scored on, by a free kick
(of any kind) from its own 20-
yard line. The restraining line for
the receiving team shall be the
30-yard line. A touchback is made
when the ball, in possession and
control of a player guarding, his
own goal, is declared dead, any
part of it being on, above, or be
hind the goal line was given by an
opponent. The ball is put into
play from scrimmage by the team
making the touchback, from its
own 20-yard line.
Blocked Punts: On a blocked
punt the ball is dead where it
strikes the ground and belongs to
the defensive team at that point,
regardless of the down. On a par
tially Rocked punt that crosses
the line of scrimmage, it is con
sidered as an unblocked punt.
Down After Penalty: It is an
automatic first down when the de
fensive team commits any foul
except offside, lineman’s hands on
ground, or delay of. game. (Down
remains same on these three penal
ties.) The down remains the same
when the offensive team commits
any foul except on certain for
ward pass plays.
Fumbles: Any fumbled or muf
fed ball that touches the ground
is dead and belongs to the fumbl
ing team at the point where the
player last touched the ball. If the
ball leave's the field of play be
fore touching the ground, the point
at which it crosses the boundry
lin shall determine the point where
the ball will be put in play. On a
bad pass from center, which does
not touch any player, the ball is
dead where it strikes the ground
and belongs to the team that put
the ball in play.
Interference With Pass Receiver:
The defensive player has as much
right to intercept a pass as the of
fensive player has to catch it and
any bodily contact caused by a
genuine effort to intercept the
pass shall not be construed as in
terference. The question to be an
swered is—Was the play for the
man or for the ball?
Kick Off: The kickoff shall be
made from the 40-yard line. Five-
members of the receiving team
shall stay between their 40-yard
line and 50-yard line, it shall be
put on the 40-yard line. Out of
bounds kickoff in front of the
40-yard line shall be put in play
at a point even with where it went
out of bounds. If the kickoff does
not cross the receivers’ restrain
ing line (10 yards from point of
kickoff) it shall he kicked over,
unless it is out of bounds or a
member of the receiving team
touched it, in which case it shall
remain in play. The kicking team
may gain possession of the hall
after it has gone 10 yards hut
may not advance it. A kickoff
covered by the kicking team in
the receivers’ end zone is a touch
down. The receiving team may run
with the ball, pass it backward, or
pnt it; but they are not allowed
to pass forward.
son are not known at the present
time but is estimated that they
will reach far above the total of
any previous semesters. In having
more students participate in the
sport program, the Intramural de
partment feels that it has ac
complished one of its important
purposes—providing helpful re
creation for the cadet corps. With
the increased participation this
has been accomplished.
Runner-Ups
The runner-up in Class A sports
was 3rd Headquarters Field Ar
tillery, with Dick Weirus of San
Antonio as Recreational Officer. In
third place we find C Infantry,
whose Recreational Officer is W.
V. Crozier of Waelder.
B Infantry is the Class B run
ner-up and has Gid Adkisson as
