Intramural Sports Important
Factor in Student Life at A&M
By H. A. Pate
The Intramural Sports Program is one of the main
features of life at Aggieland, as it does more to develop
spirit and pride in an organization than anything else. In
the summer semester which has just ended, more students,
both freshmen and upperclassmen, participated in the in
tramural program than in an other student activity, and
its popularity didn’t cease long after some companies were
hopelessly defeated in the race for the laurels of college
sports championship.

play. Preston Smith and Bob Goode
lived up to expectations, while
Bob Butch of sky’s all-around play
and Tom Daniel’s passing rounded
out the first string backfield in an
entirely satisfactory manner. Also
worth mentioning were the show
ings made by letterman Stubby
Matthews and freshman Harold
Zeitman, two backs who should
do much to strengthen Norton’s
confidence. Monte Moncrief, Leon
ard Dickey, Hub Ellis, and Norton
Higgins stood out in the line play.
No injuries were suffered, and the
Cadets will be in top shape for the
Raiders.
This Saturday night’s game
will be the sixth in the Aggie-
Raider series, the Aggies having
emerged victors in each of the five
previous encounters, rolling up 113
points to 20 tor the Raiders. In
1943 when the “Whiz Kids” were
the sensation of the Conference

game was in the third quarter, and
netted the Bombers 7 yards. Wil-
burne, playing - a fine game of
football at half for the Bombers,
faked a kick on his own 13-yard
stripe, and carried the ball to the
20 before Goode and Gray nailed
him.
With fumbles again the chief
ailment of the team, the Aggies
havq lots of smoothing and round
ing off to do. The Cadets fumbled
for a total of 10 times, and had 9
of those recovered by Ellington.
If this can be corrected, the Maroon
and White can be counted on for
a flashy brand of ball that literally
explodes from the T formation.
With Daniels at the quarter slot to
mix up the opposition, and Smith,
Goode, Butchofsky, Zeitman, and
Matthews in the backfield, and
with Higgins, Ellis, Moncrief, and
Dickey in the line, count on Texas
A. & M. to give them all more
than a run for their money.,
the Ags took a 13-0 decision from
Tech, and in 1944 the Cadets came
from behind in the last half to
win 27-14. This Saturday’s game
will be strictly a “T” game, since
both the Aggies and the Raiders
are using the T formation exclu
sively.

A FAIR TRADE
W. L. Penberthy, director of in
tramural athletics, has announced
that this year’s sport schedule
will include swimming, track, foot
ball, basketball, volley ball, and
tennis. He also says that all indi
cations point to the fact that we
will have a highly successful pro
gram this year, due to the fact
of the large number of participants
and their fine abilities.
At the end of each year, an In
tramural Flag is awarded to the
outstanding organization in athle
tic competition. This is one of the
most cherished unit awards in
school, and proud indeed is the
group that holds it for a year.

ruler of intramural athletics was
Third Company Infantry, with
teams holding the championship
of the college in football, baseball,
basketball, volley ball, and tenths.
Of course, like ^very other activi
ty, the program needs support and
interest to keep it going, and one
of the major sources of material
for teams and the backing required
for success is the incoming class
of freshmen. Therefore, it’s up to
the new class of ’49 whether or
not this year’s intramural program
is the best Aggieland has ever seen.

TANK WRECKER
.HE trail of tank wreckage from
Normandy to Berlin is evidence of a
super shell’s effectiveness. It was one
of the potent weapons necessary to
drive the enemy back to Berlin.
The shell’s core is cemented tungsten
carbide, improved by G-E research and
manufactured by the Carboloy Com
pany, G-E affiliate. It’s a material
second to diamonds in hardness—
commonly used for the tips of cutting
tools and wear-resistant dies. Pro
jectiles using this core weigh less than
ordinary shells because of their light
weight aluminum housings, and so
have higher velocity. They often
stopped German Tigers with a single
shot—at ranges up to 3000 yards.
The core does the actual armor
piercing. Because of the extreme hard
ness of the carbide, it doesn’t flatten
out on impact. Instead, it goes right on
through the armor plate and then
breaks up into lethal pieces inside
the tank. General Electric Company,

mester.
