Tied for Lead In Softball League A With perfect records in three sports, Ep Brown’s G Battery freshmen have the best intramural record of any team. Under the coaching of Bob Zivney, they have won six tennis matches and lost none, and have defeated one op ponent in both basketball and vol leyball and have not been defeated in either of these two sports. Outstanding tennis team in this semester’s intramurals, is the G Battery team. Having won six straight matches, these freshmen are confident of winning the ten nis championship according to their cadet officers. Harkey and Pick- ford made up one team, Huston and Touchstone another, and Zivney, Walker, Goodlo, Gatton, and Groves alternate to form the third. Pick- ford and Huston were district champs in high school. Constant practice has put this team in the upper brackets and it will take a mighty good team to stop them. In the softball League A, B Company and A Company are tied for the lead. Each team has a perfect record of five victories and no defeats. B Battery and the band LOUPOT’S Watch Dog of the Aggies are tied for first in League B, each team having won three games and lost one. Bringing forth some interesting teams is the basketball competi tion. Although just beginning, these sports have shown some leaders. B Battery and B Company have already taken the lead in basket ball by winning two games each and losing none. B Battery is liv ing up, to the predictions of its cadet officers of being a likely contender for the basketball champ ionship of the corps. Not listed in the standing be low are a total of five forfeits. One was made by D Company, one by B Battery, one by D Troop, and two by C Company. All the forfeits were in tennis.

Wait a minute! We’re as groggy as the opposing pitchers. That wasn’t a football game at all. It was supposed to be a softball game, or so the bystanders said. No one was even sure that was the cor rect score, but both the players and those who witnessed the pro ceedings said it was somewhere in the neighborhood of 21 to 14. got you had to go by second base on your way to third. The players of both teams were just begining to settle down when darkness caused the game to be halted, about a hour to late. Aggie Softballers Beat Flyers, 10-2 Loupot’s Aggie softball team hammered out an easy 10 to 2 victory over the Bryan Army Air Field Flyers Thursday night under the lights in Bryan. Otto Granzin, ace Aggie hurler, pitched a beautiful game, strik ing out 10 batters. Leonard Wil liams hit a home run for the Ag gies in the third inning, and Mason L. “Stubby” Matthews clouted one clear out of sight in the fifth. Matthews homer came with two mates on base. 31 Member Board Of Directors Recommended A recommendation that the Leg islature provide a thirty-one-mem ber board of directors for Texas A. & M. College, one from each senatorial district, and that rural women be represented in its mem bership was adopted Wednesday by the Home Demonstration Asso ciation’s state convention. The resolution offered by Miss Ella Calfee of Itasca was adopted almost unanimously and without discussion. The present A. & M. board is composed of nine mem^ bers, all men. A rising vote of confidence first was given to the association’s of ficers with a number of delegates remaining seated. The action was so fast and fur ious, four umpires were required to keep the game running smooth ly. As four Aggies and one en listed man wefe the arbitrators, or arbitrators, it is useless to say who won the arguments. Cadet Colonel George Stirckenhausen made a strong bid for Cadet General by calling plays at third base. Some of the fanciest fielding ever seen on a softball diamond in these parts was reeled off at this encounter. The fielding would have been even fancier if anyone had ever caught a ball. Captain Jack Kimbrough inaugurated a new method of playing first base. He had more pig tails than a Chinese laundry to retrieve the throws which somehow got past him. Lt. Morgan blasted out a mighty triple in the latter stages of the game, but it went for nil.

Lutheran Student Association met Wednesday night in the Y.M.C.A. Chapel, for the purpose of electing officers and setting time for regular meetings. Ernest Bosse, Jr., of Brenham, was elected president of the or ganization. Other officers are L. W. Penkert, of Rosenberg, vice- president, and P. R. Boubel, Jr. of Goose Creek, secretary-treasurer. Rev. Kurt Hartman, pastor, is the adviser. The A. & M. Lutheran Student Association is affiliated with the Lutheran Student Association of America, an organization of some two hundred Lutheran student as sociations on as many college cam-* puses in the United States and Canada. According to Hartman, one of the major objectives of the na tional organization as well as each local association is to encourage students to study the Bible prayer fully. One of the chief projects supported by the assocations is the World Student Christian Fed eration. “All Lutheran students are urged to attend Bible class and services every Sunday morning in the Y. M. C. A. Chapel,” said Hartmann. When the reformer told the drunkard that he would never get anywhere by drinking, the inebri ate replied, “Aint it so.
