Three Companies
In Tie for First
In Tennis Play
The summer intramural tennis
leagues have gotten into full swing
with only three companies still in
the undefeated class. First Com
pany, with two straight wins, is
setting the pace in League A, while
unbeaten Third Company is out
in front in League B with three
straight victories. Also with a
clean record is Fifth Company with
a victory in their only match so
far.
Five teams make up the “A”
League while the “B” League is
composed of six teams. Fourth and
Fifth Companies have met defeat
only once and it is expected that
they will pour it on the rest of
the teams in League “A”. On the
not-so-favorable side is Dorm No.
6, also in League “A”, which has
chalked up three defeats.
In League “B”, Seventh Com
pany is hot on the heels of Third
Company, with two wins and one
loss. Company A is behind with a
defeat and a victory, while L, Sec
ond and B Companies have not
tasted victory yet.
The close competition will con
tinue today with First Company
meeting Sixth Company and A
playing Second Company. Friday
will find L and B battling with each
trying to break into the victory
column.
During the next week, Fourth
Company will play Fifth Company
and A Company will go up against
L Company on Monday. Tiiesday
it will be Co. B against Second
Company and A against Seventh.
On Wednesday, L will play Seventh.
All games will be played in the
afternoon.

PENNY’S SERENADE
By W. L. Penberthy
(Penny’s Serenade is forwarded to the BATTALION this week from EHyria, Ohio,
where W. L. Penberthy is spending a short vacation with his mother).
is spending
Some years ago I talked to a
man who had just purchased a
small rug manufacturing company.
In telling me about the trans
action he mentioned some advice
that was given him by the former
owner who said, “If you are to
succeed in this business it is not
the dimes and nickels you must
watch but the pennies”. Pennies
seem quite worthless to most of
us, especially during these days,
but many a man has started a suc
cessful business as the result of
having started to save a few pen
nies during his youth.
Most of us are prone to attach a
great deal of importance to the
big things in life but I am afraid
that too many of us underestimate
the importance
j of the little things
in the building of
a successful life.
I know that in
sports the differ
ence between the
average perform
er and the star is
;-j in their attention
i to the little things
| —the details. I
have watched the
different mem-
Penberthy bers of our coach
ing staff spend a great deal of
time and place a lot of emphasis
on the little extra techniques and
they have always been rewarded
for their efforts by the superior
performance of our players. In

talking to the stars of any sport
one finds that they are meticulous
in their attention to the little
things.
In our every day life we notice
that to some people success comes
very easily while others never
seem to be able to make the most
of their talents. The first class
seem to handle the little things
with all the ease and grace in the
world and do nice little things
to make themselves loved by both
employer and friend. The others
handicap themselves by their dis
regard of the little things and by
little correctable idiosyncrasies
that irritate the people with whom
they work and play.
Any one little thing in itself
may not hurt but the little things
we do, both positive and negative,
have a habit of piling up in such
a way as to have a very decided
influence on our success. I feel
that it is pretty safe to say that
if we take care of the little
things, the big things will take
care of themselves.
McCIoskey Aggies
Get Flower Vases
Lt. Col. Olin E. Teague of Bryan,
president of the Texas A. & M.
Club at McCIoskey Hospital, was
home over the weekend to pick up
more than 50 vases gathered under
sponsorship of the Brazos County
A. & M. Mothers Club for former
students receiving treatment at Mc
CIoskey.
According to Lt. Col. Teague
there are at present 35 former Tex
as Aggies at McCIoskey.
Patients at the military hospital
are constantly being given flowers
but containers have been a prob
lem. One of these vases will be
given each Texas A. & M. former
student to hold his flowers.
