Ag Intramurals Scheduled To Start Soon
Athletic Officers To Meet Wednesday
Medals To Be Awarded Winning Cadets
By Dick Goad
Intramural contests are sched
uled to get underway soon with a
meeting of all the company Ath
letic Officers due to be held some
time this week, Mr. Penberthy,
head of the Physical Education De
partment, announced today.
As a few of the athletic officers
have not yet been chosen, the meet
ing will probably be held the lat
ter part of the week. Mr. Pen
berthy hopes to get the schedules
drawn up and play begun by next
Monday if possible. Plans thus
far include tennis, softball, volley
ball, and a track and swimming
meet. The addition of basketball
and touch football will be discussed
at the Athletic Officer meeting.
As has been in the past, medals
will be awarded the members of
the winning team in each sport.

some awards are something to be
very proud of, and an Aggie always
takes pride in wearing one of
them on his chain.
Last semester saw one of the
most successful Intramural sea
sons ever at A. & M. due to the
rabid company spirit of the par
ticipants and the fine job turned
in by the company athletic offi
cers.
The Fourth Headquarters squad
won the Intramural pennant last
semester by a thirty point margin.
Incidentally, it was a freshman
company and aside from their cap
tain and manager, Mac Ballard,
the roster of the winners included
Jerry Lewis, Jack Kimbrel, Lane,
Lunsford, Rogers, Herberger, Cow-
ser, and Jefferson. These were the
men who nosed out the fast-finish
ing E Company Indians.
One of the chief methods of de
termining the quality of a com
pany is by its company spirit and
its Intramural record. A team
which had a lot of fire and spirit
and always took a great interest
in their teams’ contests usually
came from a company where there
was a great deal of company spirit.

John Gnrney To
Appear On Town
Hall Here July 11
An outstanding feature of the
summer Town Hall, sponsored by
Student Activities, will be John
Gurney who will be presented at
Kyle Field on July 11. Gurney is
a member of the Metropolitan
Opera and has been for the past
five seasons. Having sung several
hundred performances in this time,
he has made many friends and ad
mirers, and has done equally well
on his spring road tour each year.
The interesting thing about this
bass-baritone is that he didn’t even
think about a career in music until
he had finished Oberlin College in
Ohio, where he distinguished him
self as a football player and cap
tain of the varsity baseball team,
and entered the Harvard Univer
sity Business School. He had some
musical interests, and was soon
made soloist for the Harvard Glee
Club. It was at this time that the
director urged him to take up mu
sic for an occupation, and he was
soon on his way to France to study.
Because of his exceptionally fine
voice, Mr. Gurney has been hailed
from coast to coast, but this is
only one of his many qualities as
he has a wonderful personality and
a fine sense of humor. This show,
which is free, should prove very
interesting to Aggies, servicemen,
faculty, and local residents.

pride in their company and try to

teams lined up for the coming
events with a lot of spirit being
displayed, all pointing to some
first class competition in the In
tramurals this summer.
