Kyle Says SWC Champs
Will Be Tops in Nation
E. J. Kyle, former Dean of
Agriculture and now Ambassador
to Guatemala, told Houston sports
writers this week that the team
that wins this year’s Southwest
conference title is bound to be rec
ognized as the national champion.
He thinks the conference is
now stronger than ever before in
Ambassador Kyle
its history and that the teams are
very evenly matched. The confer
ence champion might even lose a
couple of games and still remain
champion.
When asked to list his greatest
sport thrills he told of the Aggie
victory over the “Tea Hounds” in
1915, the score being 13-0, and the
Sugar bowl victory over Tulane
in 1940. He told of the touchdown
run of John Kimbrough, that tied
the score with Tulane and then the
well needed extra point.
Capt. Joe Routt, All-American
guard of the Aggies, who was kill
ed in action against the Germans
was the greatest gridiron compe-
tor he ever saw, Dean Kyle said.
New Intramural
Program to Be
Launched Today
The intramural team captains
will meet with Spike White of the
Phys. Ed. Department at 6:00 p.m.
Thursday in the YMCA Chapel
to formulate new plans and to
take entries for the new intra
mural seasons.
Each dorm will be represented
by softball and volley ball teams.
There will be runoffs in found
also be open tournaments in ten
nis and golf.
Last season was one of the best
intramural seasons on the campus
in as much as more competition
and more interest was shown in
all sports.

Charlie De Ware, who was re
cently given the reins of the “B”
football team, is another Aggie
football player of years gone by.
De Ware, class of ’37, played ball
for the Aggies from ’33 until his
graduation in ’37, and became one
of the few men to get three var
sity letters here. He was co
captain of the team, along with
Lester Cummings, in ’36, and was
also a member of the All-South
west Conference team that year.
After his graduation in ’37
he took over one of the assist
ant coaching positions in both
football and baseball. In ’39
he was coach of the freshman
baseball, and also worked with
the centers of the varsity foot
ball team. Before coming to
A. & M. Charlie played football
for his home town, Brenham,
Texas, and also for Allen Mili
tary. Academy. While at Allen
Academy he played under T. F.
(Puny) Wilson, an Aggie-ex
who is now on the, coaching
staff at Rice.
This year will be the first for
the “B” football squad under a
real schedule and a full time
coach. Charlie has put in many
hours of hard labor trying to get
his schedule arranged, and has
just gotten it finished. There are
still two open dates that may be
filled at later dates, but at pres
ent there are six games on the
schedule. The opening game will
be with the Banana River, Flori
da Naval Air Station eleven, who
will fly here from Banana River
to play the first game October 4.
The “B” team will operate
under the same rules and regu
lations that the varsity does,
and the same men will be eli
gible. This team will serve
the same purpose that the
freshman squad did before the
war. It will give the men a
little more experience, and serve
as a stepping stone to the var
sity team. There will be many
good players on this team—
Yi-::'S.'l
Coach C. A. (Charlie) DeWare
in fact many that could make
the varsity in easier years, so
the games will be almost the
same calibre that will be played
by their big brothers, the var-
gity.
The only limit Coach De
Ware is placing on the number
of men to try out for his team
is the number of uniforms
available. This means there
will be plenty of applications
and that the competition will be
stiff.
Political Football
Jake Hamblen of Houston,
prominent Texas Aggie Alumnus,
said Monday:
“I read a lot of talk by candi
dates for governor about the Uni
versity of Texas and a “political
football.”
“If that’s the same football the
Longhorns have been using to play
the Texas Aggies the last six
years, I heartily agree there ought
to be a law doing away with that
‘political football’.”

Plans Made for Second Half of
A
Intramural Summer Competition
The first half of the 1946 sum
mer Intramux-al program has come
to an end and the second half is
ready to get underway. The co
operation of the athletic officers
and house managers and the spirit
and enthusiasm of the members
of the various teams has made the
past program one of the best.
The final matches in the tennis
and golf open tournaments took
the spotlight this past week with
keen competition and hard-battled
matches throughout the tourna
ment.
Tennis Open Tournament
James C. Wallis of Rockdale,
Texas, was crowned singles champ
ion in the first tennis tournament
of the summer program. Wallis de
feated Shhrp in the semi-finals

M. C. A. Chapel at 6 o’clock Thurs
day evening, July 18.
At this time the Intramural
managers would like to thank all
of the players for their coopera
tion in getting the games started
on time and for the help of each
in making the sports program an
enjoyable working period,
a hail of golf balls and close
matches all the way through.

An Equal Chnce
In Golf Tourney
Entries for the golf tourna
ments will be taken until July
27 at the Physical Education De
partment. These entries must be
accompanied by a qualifying score
and contestant’s address. This
score will determine the flight
each contestant will be in so that
everyone will be placed in a flight
that approximates his class. This
will prevent a man from playing
someone who is completely too
good or too bad to make for good
competition.
Play will start next week with
one week being allowed for each
match. If they are not played
in this time a forfeit will be
charged against the disinterested
party.
Each contestant will be notified
by the Intramural Department of
his pairing and thqy will also be
posted at the Bryan Country Club
and at the Intramural Office. That
Department will award Intramural
Medals for the winners of each
flight so it is to the best interest
of each individual to see that he
arranges his match and that he
is present on the day set for his
match.
Register Now for
Tennis Tournament
Registration will start for the
tennis matches Friday morning in
order that there will be enough
time to get all names in so that
the schedule can be arranged to
start play next week. The sched
ule was a little tight last semes
ter and there was not enough time
to get the schedule arranged and
the matches played before the end
of the term.
This semester’s tennis tourna
ment promises to be an even bet
ter one than for the preceding
term. The last term’s tournament
was run on the regular basis with
a man dropped out of the ruiming
if he lost one game. This time
it will be better all around in that
a man will have to lose two games
before he is completely out. This
system will give everyone a bet
ter chance—a man will not be out
just because he has a bad day.
Tournaments will be played in
men’s singles, men’s doubles, and
if the entries justify it, matches
in women’s singles, women’s
doubles, and mixed doubles. If
last semester’s interest is any in
dication there ‘ridll be more than
enough contestants to justify all
of these tournaments, and some
of them may have to be run off
in flights.

ture announced that William W.
