Takes High Point Honors By R. L. Bynes Taking first place in a total of four events, a very aggressive but yet smooth-functioning C Company cinder squad won first place laurels over a host of other entries in the hard-fought Intramural Track and Field Meet held within Kyle Field last Sunday afternoon. McAllis ter’s C Company infantrymen stacked up a total of 34% points to become +l, e college champs in Intramural track, followed by an aggressive but outdone D Com pany team which held runner-up honors in this event with a total of 24% points. Not only did the Dorm II infantrymen gain first place in this annual track affair, but the C Company lads also boast ed J. G. Cox who copped individual honors in the stubbornly-contested meet with 13 points, as he placed first in the broad jump, first in the 120-yard hurdles, and was also a member of C Company’s mile re lay squad which placed second. A brief description of how the C Company lads piled up their total of 34% points is as follows: In the 440-yard relay a quartet of Daniels, Crone, C. G. Fox, and Foster overcame a very desperate G Battery bid for first place with the winning time of 45.7 seconds. Next came the 100-yard dash which C Company’s C. G. Fox had no trouble in taking, with the first place time of 10.7 seconds. Then J. G. Cox breezed to a very easy win in the 120-yard hurdles by a wide margin, winning time, 15.4 seconds. Again Cox returned to the spotlight when he took first in the broad jump with a single try of 18.0 feet. C Company then took third place in both the 880-yard run and also the mile run as R. L. Bynes pounded out a third place in the 880, while Williams of C Company shuttled into third place in the mile run. Armstrong of C Company tied for fifth place in the chinning and then McAllister’s in fantrymen ended their scoring pa. rade when a quartet of Foster, J. G. Cox, Jay Poynor, and Dukes placed second in the mile relay. The second place D Company cinder team racked up their 24% point total in part when Williams took first in the 880-yard run with a beautiful bit of footwork, win ning time, 2 minutes, 11.2 seconds. D Company also blazed to a well- earned first place win in the mile relay when a quartet of Neely, Crowder, Stockton, and G'arretson finished out in front with the win- LOUPOT’S A LITTLE PLACE - - ; - A BIG SAVING I ning time of 3 minutes, 48.1 sec onds. Other first places in the meet are as follows: Bailey, of B Com pany, won a comparatively slow but hard-run mile and seven-tenths as his sure-footedness whisked him across the finish line in a well- earned first place slot with the winning time of 9.1 minutes. C Battery’s J. Lewis did a bit of fast stepping to out-smart the hard- driving Stewart of D Company as the swift Lewis emerged first in the close contested 300-yard run with the winning time of 34.2 sec onds. E Company’s Wilshusen made a beautiful finish for first place in the mile run as he took the event in a blaze of glory when he passed the hard running Garret- son of D Company within 100 yards of the finish line, time, 5 minutes, 12.2 seconds. W. C. Johnson of G Company, heaved the shot put 40.5 feet to take first place in that event. In the chinning, C. Hennig of Dorm 6 outdid a host of barmen to take first place when he lifted himself 25 times to take this event by a wide margin. As a mere off-the-record bit of chat, C Company’s Foster really did the unexpected in the mile re lay, when, running in sixth place and with but a mere 70 yards to go, he put forth a final, beautiful bit of effort and spliced the finish line in second place.

VolleyBall The entire C Company volleyball sextet of McAllister, Daniel, Oster- meyer, Shaffer, Franklin, and Fos ter, unleashed a well-aimed offen sive late in the first game of the action packed C Company-A Bat tery volleyball tangle Wednesday afternoon, after A Battery with Smokier, Higgins, Layne, and Lin der had unleashed a 10 to 4 lead in the face of the infantrymen. It was McAllister’s Ostermeyer’s, and Daniel’s powerful net play which made the big difference in the first contest, for the C Company lads grabbed the first game with a 15 to 10 win. The match was forced into a three game series, however, when the A Battery peashooters led by Smokler’s fine serving plus the ro bust net play of Layne and Lind er drowned out C Company’s late offensive, with a 15 to 6 pounding. The C Company lads again re peated their first game perform ance, however, when largely through the stalwart and errorless net performance of McAllister and Ostermeyer, the versatile infan trymen dumped the third stanza into their laps with a 15 to 8 vic tory, to win the combined match 2 to 1. The Dorm 6 lads put up a whale of a battle in romping to a 15 to 9 win in the second game of Tuesday afternoon’s League A volleyball clash, as the nimble Avery, Ivy, and Abraham, all pooled their wits at the net to set up the victory for the Dorm 6 lads. A fighting G Company sextet of McCormick, Rose, Backer, Lucy, Johnson, and Bowen, had already sewed up the first game with a 15 to 10 score, however, which knotted up the score in games 1 to 1. The spirit of the Dorm 6 volley ball sextet was undaunted as the third tieup began to get underway, CORPS DANCE To the Music of BILL TURNER and the Aggieland Orchestra Featuring a brand new vocalist with an eyeful of “oomph” and a voice that charms.

Bynes The 1945 Intramural Swimming Meet, one which is slated to be of great success this year and which is destined to supply plenty of thrills and lots of excitement for all those attending, will be held this week end. That is, on May 5th the preliminaries for the meet will be held starting at 2 p.m. on Sat urday with the finals starting at 2 p.m. on Sunday. The following is a list of the order in which the events will be held during the course of the in tramural swimming meet, although the diving may possibly be insert ed between the 100-ft. side stroke and the 200-ft. free style. First will be the 400-ft. free style relay, then the 100-ft. back stroke, next the 100-ft. side stroke, then the 200-ft. free style, the military re lay, and finally the diving. The 100-ft. side stroke is a com paratively new event in intramural swimming and the few require ments for this event are as fol lows: the swimmers in this event will be required to keep their top arm above water, and a dry towel must be carried in this hand and kept dry throughout the swimming of this event. In the 400-ft. mili tary relay, each swimmer is to carry approximately a ten-pound weight which must be carried in either one or the other of the hands, and not with any other part of the body. All diving in this in- and although the G Company in fantrymen led by McCormick and Rose did manage to plug ahead at the start of the third contest, Dorm 6’s Ivey bagged four straight points while occupying the server’s position late in the game, and to gether with his five other team mates, they unfolded a 15 to 9 win against G Company to win the contest two games to one. Tennis The comical Ellis and Shefts— two colorful H Company grid lads bounced the fighting B Company net lads out of a complete 3 to 0 victory when they wrested out an 8 to 7 win over a hard-plugging pair—Hornest and Smith of B Company in Monday afternoon’s League A, 4:15 tennis tangle. The B Company boys had noth ing to fear because although they did drop the third tennis match 8 to 7, B Company’s hard-playing, hard-driving Russell, Roach, Rip- petoe, and Denton, sliced out two INTRAMURAL STANDINGS TENNIS League A W.

B Company’s Russell and Roach whacked out a quick 8 to 2 win over an agile H Company pair— Bertman and Hill—to chalk up B Company’s first win, while Rippe- toe and Denton—a B Company pair led by Rippetoe’s very nice serv ing, and a pair which operated very well together—polished off a fighting but erroneous H Company pair of Brown and Baker, 8 to 3. In Monday afternoon’s League B, 4:15 intramural tennis match, A Battery, with Lane, Adams, Bate man, and Knox all holding the upper hand as far as the strong- arm element was concerned—lobb ed out a 3 to 0 win over an eager but inexperienced D Troop net quartet. There should have been more than a quartet participating for both sides, but the D Troop lads dropped one of the doubles matches to the peashooters on for feit. In the first doubles match play ed, A Battery’s Layne and Odom alternated at the serving slot and in the net position to outwit an in experienced duet of Torrance and Nelson of D Troop, 8 to 2. In the second doubles match played, Knox and Bateman of A Battery gave no quarter and asked none when they swatted out an 8 to 0 love set against an inaccurate pair—Snave- ly and Stooky of D Troop. INTRAMURALS By R. L. Bynes This semester’s intramural pro gram has blossomed forth with much activity in the past week or so, what with the college champs in both the intramural track and basketball having just been decid ed, and then a prospective mighty- mite 1945 intramural aqua meet slated to be held this week end. A superbly performing B Com pany quintet of Strange, Riptoe, Webber, Tate, and Hughes, thump ed a hard plugging but outdone A Company quintet of Edwards, Dietz, Presnal, Latham, and Gos sett by a comparatively one-sided tramural swimming meet will be done from the low board and will consist of three required dives and two optional dives. The required dives will be the front dive, the back dive, and the half twist. In the optional group, the contestant will be permitted to perform any dive which he chooses, except that entrants cannot repeat a dive in the optional group for one which they have previously performed in the required group. Now as far as eligibility is con cerned, those who are members of the swimming varsity at the pres ent time are completely ineligible. The scoring, which will deter mine the winner, etc., of the 1945 Intramural swimming contest, is as follows: A first place in each of the relays will count 10 points, second place, 8 points; third place, 6 points; fourth place, 4 points; and fifth place, 2 points. In the other events the places, that is first, second, third, etc., will score 6 points, 4 points, 3 points, 2 points and one point, respectively. All athletic officers are remind ed at this time that entry forms for this intramural water contest should have been turned in to the intramural athletic office or Mr. Penberthy not later than 6 p.m., Tuesday, May 1st. score of 22 to 7 to cop the college intramural basketball champion ship. Let’s give Bob Chenowith’s B Company cage lads a whale of a big hand, ole’ army, because they more than deserved to be basket ball’s champs this semester. Last Sunday afternoon in per fect track weather, a staunch C Company cinder squad of Foster, Cox, Daniels, Crone, Bynes, Wil liams, Jay Poyner, C. C. Fox, J. C. Fox, Armstrong, and Dukes, ran up a total of 34 and one-third points to become the 1945 intra mural track champs. In this meet the McAllister’s C Company lads took four first places, one second place, two third places, and tied for a fifth place to rack up their 34 and one-third point total, and thus finish 10 points ahead of their nearest rival, D Company, who finished with 24% points. This C Company cinder squad showed their vigor and will to win in more than one instance, and well deserve the title of intramural track champs for 1945. So ole’ army, if you just show your spirit and enthusiasm in the swimming meet this week end as you have done in both the basket ball and track meets, there is no reason why this aqua show should not be anything but a success. The rank of the different out fits in the intramural track meet are as follows: Place Outfit Points 1 C Company 34% 2 D Company 24% 3 B Company 21% 4 G Company 18% 5 E Company 17 6 C Battery 15 7 G Battery 12 % 8 Dorm 6 11% 9 F Company 9% 10 A Company 8 11 A Battery and B Battery.. 7 12 F Battery ,... 4 13 Band 2 111 VkYmSs - mm 'He didn't even mention his etchings.
