THE BATTALION

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

Aggie Gagers Beat Ponies, Lose to Frogs
PENNY’S SERENADE
By W. L. 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.

A Co. 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.

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

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.

Bergstrom Field Game Cancelled,

By CHARLES OSENBAUGH
The Texas Aggie cage team is

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

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.
