G Battery Leads The Corps in Summer
Intramural League Fast Competition
A Co. and B Co.
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.

Softball Fantasia
Led by their bruising fullback,
Major “Jarrin John” Breland, the
Commissioned Officers of A. &
M. defeated the enlisted men in
a thrilling football game back of
Dorm 5 Wednesday evening by the
score of 21 to 14.
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. He for-

Lutheran Students
Elect Officers
The A. & M. 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. I’ve start
ed home from this corner five times
3 already.”

Women say that all men are
alike, which would make the men
mad if men are really like what
they think they are.
