sible, especially in the heavier
classes.

Mistaken Identity
Gums Up Freshman
Caper at Mess Hall
“Mr. Barker, you sure are cute!”
Thus spake a fish of unknown ori
gin to the Cadet Colonel at the
Corps Staff Table last Friday
noon. But that ain’t all . . . the
fish turned to L. B. Wardlaw, and
said to that noble personage, “Mr.
Henkhaus, you’re a little bit cute,
too!” After this bit of information,
the freshman looked at everyone,
and finally his eyes rested on
Henkhaus, who sits between Eli
and Porky. Their eyes met, the
fish realized what he had done,
and midst gales of laughter from
everybody (except Wardlaw, and
Henkhaus, who didn’t think it a
bit humorous) the first year kay-
det turned and fled.

Aggie Nine to
Open ’46 Season
This Week-End
By Marion “Dookie” Pugh
Battalion Sports Bditor
The Texas A. & M. baseball team
journeys to Georgetown today to
take on Southwestern University
in a two-game series today and to
morrow. This is the first game of
the season for the Aggies, and it
should give a fair idea of how the
Dimmittmen will stack up in con
ference competition.
On paper, the Aggies have a
potentially strong team, but the
pitching staff is the big question.
If this department comes through,
the Ags will be tough to handle.
Led by “Snookie” Pressly, “Peck”
Vass, and “Tex” Thornton, there
W. Adrian Hall Back
In English Dept.;
Was Vice-Consul
Dr. T. F. Mayo, Head of the
English Department, has announced
the re-instatement of W. Adrian
Hall in the teaching staff of the
English Department effective
March 11.
Hall, who left A. & M. in May,
1944 to enter the foreign service of
the United States Government, had
been in the employ of the English
Department since 1939. During his
two years with the foreign serv
ice, he served as Vice Consul of the
American Embassy at Paris. In
October of 1945 he was returned to
Washington for assignment and
remained there until his release in
February.
A native of Bedias, Grimes
County, Hall attended the Univer
sity of Texas and was a former
student of A. & M. He received ad
ditional training at the University
of Missouri, and then returned to
A. & M. as a student teacher in
1937 and 38. In 1939 he began his
full-time teaching duties at A. &
M. which he continued until his
departure in May 1944.

is plenty of slugging power around
that initial plate.
In the first game Johnnie Shuf-
ford will get the call from Coach
Dimmitt as the starting pitcher.
Shufford will work the first three
innings, and then “Hub” Moon will
take over for three; after him
comes Elmer Purtle, an Arkansas
boy, who will work the final trio.
Both Shufford and Moon are left
handers.
In the second game, to be played
Saturday, Earl Beesley, who won
six and lost one for Luke Field
last year, will get the starting nod,
and Henry Lindsley and Charlie
Newman will get the next calls re
spectively.
The starting lineup for the first
game will look like this: Edwin
Arnold, catcher; Shufford, pitcher;
Bill Bradley, first base; “Tex”
Thornton, second base; “Snookie”
Pressly, third base; “Cotton” Lind-
loff, shortstop; “Peck” Vass, left
field; “Stubby” Matthews, center-
field; and Bill Willingham, right
field. This is not the batting order.
Since March 1 the squad has
been working every afternoon and
aears to be rounding into shape.
One or two things have happened
which have hurt the club to some
extent. Pitchers Jim Love, Charlie
Smith and Walt Bardwell are off
the list. Love, however, is not ill.
He was drafted. Smith had an ap-
