Coaches are once more wor rying about the material they have and the prospects coming. Many schools have suspended football for the duration due to lack of transportation facilities and the shortage in manpower, but many others have decided to keep going until ruled otherwise by the war department. The Southwest Con ference approved last month in their annual meeting to let the -THE BATTALION- -Page 3 AMERICAN HEROES BY LEFF With every superior officer on the cruiser San Francisco either killed or wounded during the battle of Savo Island, Comdr. Herbert E. Schonland, who was stationed below as damage control officer, sent word to the officer on the bridge to take charge, ending tersely, “I’m too damned busy down here fighting fire and water.” We fight beside our Navy heroes if we keep busy buying War Bonds. army, navy and marine trainees to take part in sports in this con- efrence if the army, navy and ma rine officials will let them partici pate. Pending upon the approval by the Army of letting their trainees now stationed at this col lege to take active part in sports representing this school, Coach Homer Norton is planning to use all available men in this college to turn out for football. He will be be dealing mainly with players under nineteen years of age as those boys over that age are serv ing in the armed forces. If the army lets their trainees take part in football next fall, A. & M. will have a better chance to be represented by a good team in the conference race next fall. Of the army, marine, air corps, army engineers and sailors stationed at this school indications are that Coach Norton will have a good choice to pickt he best, and it has been said that there are many good football players, stars during their college careers, stationed here. The Navy and Marines had said their trainees may take part in sports if they have time to do so. Texas U., Rice, T.S.U., and S.M.U. football chances to be rep resented by a good team next fall have been boosted by this decision as the^majority of their players are in the Marine, Navy reserve. Only A. & M. is waiting for an approval from the Army officials to let their trainees play football for us. Sports Program Is Announced By PE For Summer Term Once again school is getting un der way and the Intramural De partment is making plans to start with a better and bigger Intra mural Program for this current semester. Plans are under way to hold an other Open Tournament which proved to be so popular and excit ing last summer. The Intramural Department tried a new way to give more sports to the Cadets last summer by holding an open tournament in the following sports: Aggieminton, tennis, (sin gles and doubles) ping pong, horse shoes, handball and golf. That tournament met with the approval of the whole student body and was a complete success. This summer Mr. Penberthy, director of the In tramural Department, is planning to hold another open tournament in handball, badminton, and golf and any other sport where there is enough interest. That open tour nament will start two weeks from last Monday. In this open tournament every one that wishes to enter is eli gible to do so from the Frog to the Senior. They all will try their skill in those events. The tourna ment is held by means of single elimination and the winner of each sport will be crowned college champion in that particular sport and will receive a medal. Out of that open tournament, the Intramural Department will hold the Intramural program held every semester. This year’s Intra mural program will not be as big as in previous years because the enrollment for this semester is very low, but this does not mean that it would not be a good one. Softball, volley ball, and tennis will make up the program for the present. The date has not been set yet, but all indications are that it will start within the next two weeks. This time there will be no Class A and Class B but each outfit will be represented by two teams in order to enable more boys from each outfit to take part. It is up to all cadets taking P.E. 300 whether they want to take part in either open tournament or the Intramural program for this se mester, as this time will not count in their P.E. grade. - Let’s start getting in shape and make this Intramural program a successful one. “ - - - let the melody linger on” Hear a snappy, new tune?
