WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, JULY 3, 1946 THE BATTALION PAGE 3 On Kyle Field • • • • • • • • U. V. Johnston With the closing of the present ; semester, the first rounds of the intramural program are drawing to a close after one of its most successful seasons. There has been more real enjoyment, and rec reation come out of this program than any other single item around the school this summer, and if the program gets the same support next semester that it has received this time, this pleasure will con tinue all summer. The “old men” from seventeen are a good example of how much fun has been had by all. Although the “old men” have been beaten very badly on several occasions, they still come back for more, and iave a very good time doing it. There have been some very good ball games played, but there have also been some that could not be SUMMER UNIFORMS Suntan Gabardine Suntan Tropical Worsted Limited Supply SMITH’S Cleaning - Pressing N. Gate - Ph. 4-4444 classed as baseball in any sense of the word. The championships have been decided in baseball, and they will be determined in volley ball next week when the three teams that are tied will meet for the play offs. Dormitory No. 15 meets Dormitory No. 9 in the first rounds Monday, July 8, and then the winner of this round will play Dormitory No. 16 for the cham pionship on Tuesday, July 9. With the playing of these games the first rounds close, but the second rounds will begin the first week of the next semester. Some of the teams may lose a few of their players this time, but there will still be enough men around to make things interest ing. Just because one or two of the men are leaving is no reason to let the whole program drop. So if you guys and gals still want the Intramural program, come on out and “Spike” White will dish it out to you. Sports Editor Does It Again The sports editor seems to stay in hot water with the Athletic Department. Last week in a short story on swimming I stated that Coach ANDERSON would like to see everyone interested in water-polo at the swimming pool. This is wrong as anyone can plainly see, as Colonel Anderson is the track coach, and ADAMSON is the swimming coach. This mis take evidently happened because I was writing a story on Colonel Anderson, and it seems that ev erything came out spelled ANDER SON last week. This is another of those embarassing moments that come along, and I do not know exactly how to get out of it. All I can do is say “I am sorry and will try to see that it does not happen again.” Battalion Sports Nearly 1,000 separate San Jac into Day musters were held by Aggie Exes in 1945, and about as many this year. Dorm Playoffs Start Monday The warriors of Bizzell won un disputed championship of the old area Monday when, with the two- hit pitching of Buddy Moore, they took the boys from Mitchell to the cleaners with a score of 11 to 4.

RAINEY GOVERNOR OF TEXAS BECAUSE Texas must be the most progressive as well as the fastest growing state in the country. Dr. Rainey’s plans for better schools, better hospitals, better roads, will put Texas where it belongs—at the top of the list. BECAUSE the people of Texas are getting little or nothing from the incredible natural resources of our state, most of which are absentee-owned. Dr. Rainey’s proposed tax on natural gas will add little to the cost of gas that is consumed in far parts of the U. S., but will make it possible for Texans to carry out plans listed in the paragraph above. BECAUSE professional politicians have shown themselves unwilling to work for the best interests of the people as a whole, and instead have acted as hired hands for special interests. FOR THESE REASONS and for many others, you should vote in the Democratic primary election July 27 for DR. HOMER P. RAINEY for gov ernor of Texas! DON’T SIT THIS ONE OUT—don’t fail to vote because you are away from home. If you have established legal residence in Brazos County, vote here. If not, get an absentee ballot. This is the most important Texas election in half a century! (Political Advertisement Paid for by the A.&M. Students Rainey-for-Governor Club)
