THURSDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 31, 1946 THE BATTALION Page 5 Fighting Farmers Annnal Feed Tonight! To end this semester with the proverbial bang, the walls of old Sbisa Hall will rock and groan to night as an estimated 200 pay trib ute to the 1945 Texas Aggie foot ballers! It’s the annual T-Banquet, and this year, twenty some-odd let ter men will be feted and present ed with their letter medals and in- dividual awards. Tickets were $1.25, but if you don’t have one by now, brother, that’s just too bad. (Pete Jones may have one or two left.) Byron Winstead of the Publicity Department will serve as toast master, and with his line of air, the evening should be a success. And with that $1.25 ticket, one will be able to hear Mr. Felix Mc- Knight of the Dallas Morning News who is the principal speaker, and he’s worth the price all by himself. Mr. McKnight is the Ag gie representative at the Cotton Bowl, and a former student of A. & M. Your guess is as good as ours when it comes to knowing just who these above mentioned lettermen are. The Athletic Council just flat won’t allow the press (meaning this column) to get any informa tion before the great event, so if you want to know, best you hustle your own ticket. Anyway, Mr. C. W. Crawford, chairman of the Ath letic Council, will award T medals to the first year lettermen and the additional letter bars to the repeat ing lettermen. The Letter Sweaters will be measured and ordered la ter. Ford Munnerlyn and S. A. Lip scomb will pi’esent the captains elected by the team, and will award the Most Valuable Player trophy. Bert Pfaff of Tyler will present his trophy to the best blocker. Awards and Trophies Not to be outdone, this column has a few awards of its own to make to the gridiron greats before they get too far away. , First, the Trophy for the Team’s Best Looking Player; this goes unanimously to Monte Moncrief. (No comments necessary.) Roughest, Toughest Player Tro phy; to Bill Geer for the kick-off play in which he carried the ball against 6. U. Bill personally laid out half the Sooner team with his vicious stiff arm and bone crushing shoulders. Casanova Trophy; to Jim Wink ler for being elected the T.C.U. Sorority Sweetheart. Big Jim made a hit with the TCUites, especially one name of Lib, and wound up as their Casanova. Award for Most Domestic Play- of the F. B. I. called at our office to check up on one of our former students who had made ap plication for a position with that organization. In checking the stu dent’s record in this and other de partments it appeared that the applicant did a good job in the things that inter ested him, but had a poor record in those things which it appear ed failed to cap ture his interest. In discussing- the matter with me the agent com mented that the man had little Penberthy chance of a posi tion and made this statement as the reason: “In the F. B. I. when we make an assignment we ex pect it to be carried out well re gardless of whether or not it is a pleasant one, and we can’t use Open 1 p. m.

Penberthy Some time ago an investigator on the things he likes.” I guess it is only human to like to do the things we like and shove the less agreeable tasks to the side or a least put them off as long as possible. A little of this practice may not be detrimental to our progress, but it has been my observation that the trait grows into a habit and then the habit gets worse until we find ourselves to be very muchly spoiled. It is awfully good training to have to do a good job at some things that are disagreeable to us, and as funny as it may seem the jobs are not so disagreeable when we roll up our sleeves and wade in. Every year we see many fine guards on our college teams who were backs in high school. I pre sume a good many of these guards would rather be carrying the ball, passing or punting as they did in high school, but one would never know it by their performance. Those who check our records usually want our total record — not just that part which includes someone whq does a good job only the things we liked to do. Forced by bad weather into a close race with the semester, the Intramural program had to sprint this week. On Monday, F Infantry won over C Field Artillery in the volley ball semi-finals by winning two straight 15-12 and 15-9. The games were made up of long exciting ral lies and showed that the two teams were more closely matched than the score shows. The losers were held together by the setting of Weld. All of the winners were on the ball and won by smooth teamwork. The other semi-final volley ball game was taken by A Infantry. They dropped the first game but with the arrival of Presnal and with the help of Golden and Fer gus won the next two to win the right to meet F Infantry in the finals this afternoon. er; of course, to Sleepy League. (Guess Miami is SNAFU now.) TS Trophy; to Country Higgins for being stuck with the same girl, name of Bill, so long. Even with all the fan mail he got, Hig played it the hard way. Most Likely to Succeed; none other than Gene Johnson. And you should know why. And the last and most important award goes to the whole squad. This is the Award for the Fight- ingest, Gamest Team in the Na tion. The Aggies in 1945 maybe lost more than their share of ball games, but every team in the con ference held them in fear. Only one team that they faced all year deserved to beat them and that team was LSU. The rest won in score, but were far from being the moral winners.

Wins Speedball Playoff The speedball playoffs between G Infantry and between E Infan try and A Field Artillery were reeled off Tuesday. G Infantry was inspired by Coach Giblin, but not enough to keep from being trounc ed by A Infantry 11-3. Starring for the winners were Denton who scor ed six points, Mattei and Smith. The other speedball semi-finals game was won by E Infantry 7-6. This game was a hard played, con tinuously hustled contest that kept the spectators in doubt all the way. A Company defeated E Com pany in a rough and tumble game Wednesday afternoon to win the Intramural speedball crown. E Company received the kick-off and scored the first two points. After that it was anybody’s ball game with E Company supplying plenty of competition all the way. Layne, Fergus, Golden and Wylie led the visitors while Higgins, Goode, Winkler and Beard stood out for the loosers. The score when the final whistle sounded was A Co. 9, E Co. 7. —0— (Aycock, Cavitt Win ’Mural Handball The defending doubles cham pions held on to their champion ships by defeating Strickhausen and Abraham in straight games in the finals of the tourney. The champs defeated Rippetoe and Du- bitsky in the semi-finals, Slack and Snavely in the quarter finals and Klutz and Ricks in the first round. Every match in the tour ney was a good one and it took a good pair to win. Twenty-three doubles teams entered the tourna ment. Strickhausen beat Mijalis Wed nesday afternoon and will meet Bell of “A” Field Artillery in the finals of the singles playoff. Thirty-seven players entered the match play and it takes a cham pion to weather that field. An Ennis, Texas, man has dis covered a way to process cotton burrs into boards; for building pur poses. HOMER ADAMS, 6-foot Aggie guard, played an outstanding game against S. M. U. Saturday night at Dallas. A 1943 letterman, Adams is back with the Aggies this year after serving as a 2nd Lieutenant with Doolittle’s Eighth Air Force. He is 24 years old, and hails from Dallas. AAUP and Hillel To Hear Dr. Klein Dr. Darby B. Klein, professor of Psychology at the University of Texas, will be the guest speak er at a joint meeting of the A. A. U. P. and the Hillel Club, on February 7th, 8:00 p. m. at the Lounge Room of Sbisa Hall. Dr. Klein will speak on the need of revamping our present educational system. His subject will be “Are we educating for self centerdness”. Dr. Klein’s thesis is that our sys tem of education from the earliest time to date has been enthnocen- trie, centering on our own race and our own culture, and npw the world war and atomic bomb have shattered the boundaries pf our world. We need a new kind of ed ucation and what shall it be! He will trace the development of the educational system and show its enthnocentrie characteristics thru the ages. Dr. Klein is an educator and a psychologist, and has done con siderable research in the field of psychology. His recent book on “Mental Hygiene” published by Henry Holt and Company is one of the outstanding contributions in that field. Dr. Klein has taught psychology at tbe University of Texas for nearly a quarter of a century. He also taught six sum mers at City College New York, he was exchange professor for the National University of Mexico, at Mexico City and is slated to teach this summer at the Univer sity of Southern California. Dr. Klein is a graduate of Johns Hopkins and Columbia Universi ties and was student for a year in Vienna on a National Research Council Fellowship. He is known as a brilliant speaker, and by re quest the lecture is so planned as to be of joint interest to Faculty and students. It will be an open meeting and it is hoped that a large number of campus .people, students and Faculty members, whether or not members of the A. A. U. P., will join in what prom ises to be a highly interesting meet ing. A discussion and social hour will follow the lecture.

By CHARLES OSENBAUGH The Texas Aggie cage team is now back after winning a game and dropping one this past week end. The following changes for this week Jiave been announced: Feb. 23 with Bergstrom is can celled because the team has been disbanded. February 14 with Baylor shifted to here. Feb. 19 with Baylor at Waco. Feb. 2 with Sam Houston at Huntsville (Saturday). Frogs Outscore Ags 55-48 Sparked by their star guard, Pasco, the T. C. U. Frogs edged out the Texas Aggies by a 55-48 score at Fort Worth last Friday night when Coach Karow’s Kay- dets invaded the Cow Town. The Frogs found the way by controll ing the ball outside the Aggies good zone defense. As usual Jamie Dawson headed the scorers, this time making nine teen points. Oscar White showed up with fifteen as the tall for ward turned in a starring per formance. Pasco and Hendricks of the Frogs turned in fourteen points apiece. The Aggies were ahead for the first nine minutes but from then on it was a deadlock, the Frogs finally easing out a victory. Both teams were at first sloppy in their passing and shooting but later both settled down for a more alert game. Cadets Take SMU 53-49 Texas A. & M. scored seven points in an overtime period Sat urday night to shove the S. M. U. Mustangs farther into the South west cellar. The final score was 53-49 for the x Aggies who play ed good ball all evening. High point man was the S. M. U. guard Rollings who slipped in eighteen points. Dawson, of the Aggies, was close behind as the rangy pivotman looped a total of sixteen. Peck Vass scored twelve and Yeoman eleven to help the Ag gie cagers along. Though he scored only one point Homer Adams, Ag gie guard, turned in one of the finest games of the evening. With only a minute and fifteen seconds to go, Doak Walker found two quick fields to put the ponies ahead; then Bill Yeoman banged in a two pointer in the last ten seconds to knot the game in a 46- 46 tie. Claud Vass and Jamie Dawson scored quick field goals in the overtime to put A. & M. ahead and S. M. U. never could catch up. Ever notice how we compare people with animals? We say they are meek as a lamb, sly as a fox, fleet as a deer, gentle as a dog, sound as a hound’s tooth, strong as an ox, savage as a lion, graceful as a fawn, dirty as a pig, awkward as a newborn colt, and stubborn as a mule.
