WHAT WILL WE HAVE
TO OFFER
That’s the question everybody’s
asking—“What will we have to of
fer in the way of football competi
tion next fall? Who’s going to be
back from the 1944 squad? What
new high school stars are going to
be on hand when grid season
opens?”
We’ll not attempt to draw any
conclusions as to how the Maroon
and White will show up on the
gridiron next fall, but, rather,
present you with the facts and
let you draw your own conclusions.

backfield lettermen will be twice
Aggie letterman and blocking back
Bob Butchofsky of Ysleta, Texas.
Other returning backfield letter-
men will be “Stubby” Matthews of
San Antonio, George McAllister of
Eden, and Tom Daniel of Kerrville.
The backfield is to be supported
by a line that will consist of the
following returning lettermen:
ENDS, Grant Darnell, “Scooter”
Yeargin, and Bill Geer; TACKLES,
Morton Shefts, “Sparky” Eberle,
Dean Denton, Monte Moncrief, and
Domon Tassos; GUARDS, George
Gray, “Sleepy” League, and Ar
thur Abraham; and “Hub” Ellis
is the only returning letterman at
the center slot. In addition to these
lettermen will be a host of new
high school stars who will, no
doubt, prove their worth next fall.
STRONG LONE STAR CINDER
TEAM LOOMS FOR AAU
Texas is due to be strongly rep
resented in the National A. A. U.
track and field meet in New York
next month with chunky Perry
Samuels leading the Lone Star
State contestants.
Roy Holbrook who ran for the
Fighting Texas Aggie Track team
this season took the quarter mile
race in San Antonio last week-end
in 49.3 sec. Holbrook will bear the
quarter mile load for the team in
the National A. A. U. meet next
month.
Others to make the trip are
Perry Samuels who ran the 100-
yard dash in 9.5 Saturday, to equal
the National A. A. U. record set
by Frank Wykoff of Southern Cal
ifornia in 1931. August Erfurth
won the high hurdles in 14.8; he
is from Brackenridge in San An
tonio. He also took the low hurdles
in 25.5 around a curve. Donaldson
of Rice pitched the discus 152 feet
7 inches to win top honors, and
Unstattd of Texas U. ran the mile
in 4:31.3 to take first. Haese high-
jumped 6 feet 4% inches in Satur
day’s meet and will represent Texas
in that event. Holbrook’s win over
Austin High’s Desmond Kidd set
tled a lot of doubts.

Brackenridge Of San Antonio Wins State
High School Swimming Meet Held Here
Aggies Lose Two
To Longhorn Nine
The Texas Aggie nine closed out
its 1945 season with two losses in
tvh> days to the Longhorns of
Texas U. Friday afternoon the Ma
roon and White played its best
conference game of the season,
dropping the tilt 4-3. Saturday the
hounds found their hitting eye and
belted a brace of Aggie hurlers for
a total of 14 hits, taking the tilt
15-2. This made the second game
of the year in which the Long
horns have beat the Aggies by 13
runs.
But for a bad third inning the
Farmers would have taken the first
game. Texas scored one in the
first, with the Aggies making all
their runs in the last half of the
frame. With one out, DeLafosse hit
a line drive between left and cen
ter which Wooten was unable to
handle. DeLafosse took second on
the error. The next three men,
Matthews, Katt, and Strickhausen,
all walked, forcing DeLafosse
across with the first run. Strange
got an infield hit to short, with
Matthews scoring. Katt counted on
an infield out. That was all for
the Aggies in the scoring depart
ment. In the third the teasippers
picked up three runs which they
should not have had. 2 errors paved
the way for the runs. The rest of
the ball game was played in good
time and some nice plays were
turned in by both clubs.
Saturday afternoon’s game was
a different story from the start.
The Longhorns made three in the
first to give them a lead that was
never headed. Jim Love and
Charlie Smith couldn’t silence the
bats of the visitors as 14 hits rang
out, four of them doubles.
Mgebroff Succeeds
Hartmann At Church
Kurt Hartmann, minister to the
American Lutheran congregation
at College Station for the past
eleven years, left today for Edin

gaged in the field of Mexican mis
sions of his church.
Hartmann has served the Luth
eran students and College Station
residents since September, 1934.
A feature of his work here has
been the 15-minute Bible radio
program presented each Wednes
day afternoon over Station WTAW.
This radio spot will be filled by

cribed by the American Lutheran

41 to 39 in the State high school
swimming meet held Saturday
night in the P. L. Downs, Jr., Nata-
torium. The schools finished in a
42-42 deadlock in 1944, but Brack
enridge won the meet trophy on
the flip of a coin. In 1943 Bracken
ridge was first and Highland Park
second.

was third with 18 1-2, Paschal of
Fort Worth fourth with 12, and

Houston, 8 1-2; A&M Consolidated
and Arlington Heights, Fort Worth,

As the final curtain fell on this score of 6 to 4. A Company rack-
semester’s action, packed intramur
al program Wednesday afternoon,
it was Chenowith’s power laden B
Company infantrymen who earned
the undisputed right to the covet
ed intramural flag for the coming
semester. In becoming college in
tramural champs for the spring
semester, 1945, the B Company lads
racked up a grand total of 500
points as G Company, who ended
the hard fought intramural race
with some 451 points ended up in
second place. A Company ended in
third place with 441 points, while
D Co. wound up in fourth with
some 412 points. In compiling their
scoring spree the B Company in
fantrymen, among other things,
were college champs in basketball,
and were college runner-ups in
both volleyball and swimming. G
Company took second place in this
tightly contested intramural scrap
in placing as college champs in
horseshoes, and by emerging as
college runner-up in the interesting
intramural tennis tournament.
But so much for the intramural
standings, and now on to a brief
