C Company Infantrymen Win Intramural
Track Meet; D Companymen Are Second
Fox of C Co. 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,

SBISA HALL
SATURDAY 9-12
Preliminaries Scheduled For 2:30 p.m.;
Finals To Be Run Off Sunday Afternoon
By R. L. 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

nice victories beforehand to give
the B Company lads a 2 to 1 vic
tory, thereby winning the match.
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%
