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

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.”

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. This game gave Bizzell
total of five wins against one loss
for the season. Their only loss
was handed them by the boys from
No. 16 by a score of 12-3.
Dorm 12 made off with the
championship for the new area by
beating Dorm No. 9 with a score
of 14-3. Dorm No. 12 also had
a season tally of five wins to one
loss. They were well on the way
to a perfect season until they
tangled with the boys from Dorm
No. 3 last week when pitcher Dick
erson trimmed them by a score of
11-5,
The play-off for the campus
title will wind up the softball
tournament for this semester. The
first game of the play-off will be
played on Monday, July 8, behind
Duncan Hall. It is on the basis
of the best two out of three and
the following games will be played

The play-off for the volleyball
tournament will also be played
next week between the three teams
that are tied for first place. The
first game will be between Dorm
No. 15 and Dorm No. 9 on Mon
day, July 8, and the second will
be between the winner and Dorm

the intramural program for this
semester but it will be resumed the

rally that was started off by a
bunt by shortstop Stovall.
In the biggest upset of the seas
on Dorm No. 3 stopped the per
fect record of Dorm No. 12 11 to

came out of his batting slump and
will be dangerous in the play off
series.
Bizzell Best
The winners of the Old Area

games and lost one this week to
give them the championship. In
their first win, Bizzell nosed out
Law Hall in an exciting 11 to 10
victory. The lead changed sever
al times with Law taking a 4 run
lead until a rally in the 4th in
ning when Bizzell scored 7 runs
to move out in front. Law came
back in the 5th inning to score 5
runs that gave them a 2 run lead
and then 1 run in the 6th inning
to make their last tally. In the
6th inning Bizzell got back in
the game by the excellent base
running of catcher Taylor and
first baseman Anderson that gave
Bizzell £ runs. In the 7th inning
centerfielder Perry and pitcher
Moore led off with hits followed
by leftfielder Engling who got a
clean hit to drive in the winning
run. For Law Hall pitcher Rosen

slugged the league leading team
to the long score of 12 to 3.
Dorm No. 7 beat Dorm No. 9 in
a mediocre game. Abney the

REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD
ELECT DR. HOMER P.
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!
