Prison Guards Win
Over Loupot Nine
Although they were held to one
hit by Otto Granzin, the Army per
sonnel of the prisoner of war camp
at Huntsville defeated the Aggie
softball team sponsored by “Army
Lou” Loupot Saturday, 3-2.
The Aggies led throughout the
game, having a 2-1 lead going into
the last half of the seventh inning.
In this frame, the guards rallied
to score two runs and cop the af
fair.
Although they came out second
best in the ball game, the boys
were entertained during their short
stay in Huntsville. T. F. “Puny”
Wilson, an Aggie ex and now foot
ball coach at Sam Houston State
Teachers College, met the boys and
helped show them around. They
were shown through the state pen
itentiary upon their arrival, and
after the game went to the USO
in Huntsville for an ice cream
party.
The Aggies showed some pretty
rugged fielding Saturday, and
Manager Vernon Dietz has called
workouts for every night this
week. The sessions are held back
of Duncan Mess Hall immediate
ly after the evening meal.
Loupot wants to emphasize again
that anyone who wishes to try out
for th£ team is welcome to do so.

Ex-Aggie Fights With
Mustangs Over Germany
Lt. William S. Fennell, class of
’42, has recently received a com
mendation from Major General
William E. Kepner for providing
outstanding escort for B-17 Flying
Fortresses attacking targets near
Leipzig in Central Germany.
Fennell’s P-51 fighter group de
stroyed 21 Nazi planes on this par
ticular mission and prevented the
enemy from shooting down a sin
gle “Fort.”
Fennell calls Gilmer, Texas, the
home of the Yam, his home and
he entered A. & M. in 1938 and
graduated in 1942.

Scrimmage On Kyle
Tuesday Afternoon
Rough Saturday Was
Followed By Light
Workout Last Sunday
Last Thursday afternoon Coach
Homer Norton ran his young
charges through an intrasquad
game with the “A” and “B” teams
winning by three touchdowns over
the rest of the boys who are com
ing out.
Saturday the team went through
a rough scrimmage and followed it
with a light scrimmage Sunday
afternoon. Norton expects to hold
another scrimmage late Tuesday
afternoon on Kyle Field, provided
the turf is dry from the recent
waterings. The workout Tuesday
afternoon will be the first on Kyle
Field for all except two of the
boys returned from last fall’s win
ning team.
Norton would venture no pre
diction as to the number of games
he expects to win this fall but he
did say that, “All the boys are
doing a swell job working in the
hot sun without complaining. I’m
well pleased with the attitude of
the boys and they are all working
hard.”
The Maroon and White this fall
will resemble the team that the
Aggies fielded last fall in that
most of the prospects are freshmen
coming to A. & M. to play at least
one season before being called to
the armed service. Most observers
agree that in the workouts the
gridiron hopefuls look fast and
rugged with about as much weight
in the backfield as in the line.
TO SELL
Help me fill this column.
Tell me what you have
to sell. You have some
items you don’t want—
things that other boys
will buy.
Let’s keep these columns filled each week. You
trade with me. F1I trade with you.
