Plans for the distribution of
1946 Texas Aggie football tick
ets have been announced by P. L.
(Pink) Downs, Jr., business man
ager of athletics, and they are as
follows:
1. Applications will be mailed
to approximately 16,000 former
students this week and will be
filled in order of receipt on Sept.
1 when tickets will be mailed.
2. Application notices for an
nual coupon books will be mailed
to the faculty this week and will
be filled upon receipt.
3. Applications from the gen
eral public will be received on
and after Sept. 1 and will be
filled immediately in order of re
ceipt. All orders received
prior to Sept. 1 will be returned
unfilled.
Since it appears therfe will
be an unprecedented demand for
tickets for the Texas University-
Texas A. & M. College game this
year, a limit of four tickets to
any one person has been set by
both schools for that game. No
limit has been set for any Ag
gie games to be played here on
Kyle Field.
5. All applications must be ac
companied by a money order or
certified check made payable to
the Athletic Department, Texas A.
& M. College. Price for all con
ference games and the Texas-
Tech game at San Antonio will be
$3.00, tax included. Tickets for
the Oklahoma game at Norman
are $2.75, tax included; and for
the L. S. U. game at Baton Rouge,
the price is $3.60, tax included.
Each ticket order should include
an additional 10 cents to cover
mailing insurance.
To forestall some of the many
questions which will be asked by
students about football tickets
P. L. (Pinkey) Downs, Jr., Ag
gie business manager of Ath
letics, made the following an
nouncement Wednesday.
The regular annual student
coupon books will not be ready
for release until registration
day next September and details
for distribution will be an
nounced before that time.
As is customary these books
will be good for all home ath
letic events and also will con
tain special coupons entitling
the holder to purchase student
tickets for the out-of-town
tickets will be sold during the
week before the game.
Downs has prepared a wallet
size schedule card this season
which shows the scarcity of “seats
on the fifty.” His outline of the
Kyle Field Stadium reveals that
the visiting teams followers and
students are entitled to all seats
south of the fifty-yard line on
both sides of the field. This is
a conference proviso and the Ag
gies get the same benefits when
they go on the road.
There are 32,306 seats in Kyle
Field Stadium. The visiting teams
student body gets 6,322 seats. The
Texas Aggie student body gets
6,335 and the Knot Hole Gang of
school kids gets the next 652 up
to the end zone. On the side op
posite from the student bodies,
the visiting team alumni gets 6,-
247 seats.

Pirates Lose First
Game to Indians
by “RED” BENNETT
The second half of the College
Station softball league got under
way last Wednesday afternoon,
July 17, on the College Park dia
mond when the Indians voted the
Pirates by a score of 15 to 10.
Terry, pitching for the winning
team allowed the Pirates to hit
11 times for their 10 runs. Karow
pitched for the losing team, and
allowed the Indians to hit 12
times. There was one double
play; Bucek to Wilkins in the 3rd
inning for the Indians. There
were 5 three-base hits in the
game: Gray Vincent, and Salis
slugging one each for the Indians
and White and Smith, M. hit one
each for the Pirates.
In a game last Friday afternoon
on the College Hills diamond the
Cubs won over the Yankees with
an overwhelming score of 20 to 4.
Terrell pitched for the winning
team allowing the Yankees to hit
3 times. Jay, pitching for the
losing team, allowed the Cubs 26
hits. The Cubs got 2 double plays:
Mead to Kelley in the 2nd in
ning and Kelley to Horsley in the
6th inning. Haines and Terrell
slugged a three-bagger each for
the Cubs and Manning hit one for
the Yankees.
Last Monday afternoon on the
College Park diamond, Riddle
pitched a winning game for the
Tigers, allowing the Giants to Hit
8 times for their 4 runs. Rogers,
pitching for the Giants, allowed
the Tigers to hit 6 times for their
5 runs. Riddle slugged 2 home
runs for the Tigers, one in the
2nd inning and one in the 4th.
Russell hit one home run for the
Giants in the 7th inning. There
were four double plays in the
game: Riddle to Elms to Perry
man in the 5th inning and Eckles
to Perryman in the 6th inning
for the Tigers; and Rogers to
Spriggs in the 1st inning and
Bunting to Spriggs in the 2nd in
ning for the Giants.
THE AGE OF MIRACLES
Grady Elms got his third hit
of the season Monday as the Tigers
nosed out the Giants. His third
hit was a single in the last half
of the seventh, and drove in both
the tying and winning run. May
be Elms has come out of his slump.
Here’s hoping anyway.
All-Conference 3rd

7,3, Puryear Win
In ’Mural Softball
The second half of the summer
Intramural program went into
full swing this week with softball
getting off to a fast start. Games
were played in both the New Area
and Old Area Leagues and from
looking over the teams this second
half of play will have plenty of
thrills, good plays, and the ever
present “boner plays” will also be
there to give plenty of laughs.
Softball
Two games were played in the
New Area League and both games
were nip and tuck all the way
through with the final innings de
ciding the winners.
Dorm No. 7 outlasted Dorm No.
9 to the score of 8 to 6. McGowan
was the winning pitcher and Gil-
ber, who pitched a nice game for
No. 9, was the losing pitcher.
Dorm No. 3 stopped Dorm No.
1 to the tune of 8 to 5. Third
baseman Shoop for the winners
helped in the scoring by hitting
a long home run. Crouch was the
winning pitcher.
In the Old Area League one
game was played. Bizzell, run
ners up for the first half champ
ionship and not used to being beat,
got a taste of the short end when
Puryear outslugged them 15 to 7.
Puryear started out with a 5 run
lead in the first inning and never
gave up or even gave Bizzell a
chance to catch up. High, cen-
terfielder for the losers, hit pitch
er Crews “nothing ball” for a
clear 255 feet which was the
longest hit ball of the season.

Football Season
Edward Sturcken, former line
man for the Aggies, has returned
to Aggieland to resume his edu
cation and football playing. Sturc
ken came to A & M first in 1942
from John Tarleton College and
lettered that year as a lineman.
Sturcken is in reality a fullback
and only played on the line be
cause the Ag
gies needed him
there. This will
give the fans
some idea as to
the kind of per
son he is. Al
though he was a
back, and a
very good one,
the Aggies
needel him on
the line so he
was more than
willing to fill in
one of the very big gaps.
There is every indication that
he will not be found in the line
this year, as we have more ma
terial than in ’42 so he can be
spared for his regular position,
fullback. Sturcken is one of the
finest passers ever to come to
A&M, as he can stand on one
goal line and pass to the other.
This will help the Aggies in their
^tyle of play for next year, as
there will be enough passes to
suit even the most air minded in
our midst. Marty Karow, de
veloper of Kimbrough and other
great Aggie backs, says that
Sturcken is potentially one of the
greatest backs ever to enter this
school.
Since ’42 Strucken has been in
the infantry and served in the
ETO, and is now ready to don the
old Aggie football uniform and
get in some action of another
kind.

In scheduling his 1946 “B”
team, Charlie DeWare has taken
a man sized bite for his “Young
Varsity.” He has a total of eight
games scheduled with one of them
still tentative. Rice has not de
cided whether or not the Owls will
carry two teams as yet so the
eighth game on the schedule de
pends entirely upon their decis
ion.
His schedule starts off with
what appears to be the softest
of a hard lot. This does not mean
that this will be a push over, but
at first glance it looks like the
nearest thing to it on the sched
ule. All in all the young varsity

Patranella Fund
Now $2,636.00
The Patranella Memorial fund
now consists of $2636.95. As yet
no definite plans have been made
as to just what this money will
be spent for except that it will be
spent for recreational facilities at
the Consolidated School.
There will be a meeting in the
near future of the Patranella Me
morial Fund Committee at which
representatives from other inter
ested groups around College Sta
tion will be asked to sit in to de
termine just how and when the
money will be spent.
W. L. Penberthy, chairman of
the Memorial Fund Committee
said, “The response for this fund
has been grand and the money is
still coming in.”

The old green picket fence
around Kyle field has been torn

Construction of the new fence is

OLIN E. “Tiger” TEAGUE
OF BRAZOS COUNTY FOR
CONGRESS
(Representative from Sixth Congressional District)
The Tiger worked his
way through Texas A.
& M. College. He stay
ed on after graduation
and became a highly-
respected booster for
this community.
When called to mili
tary duty he respond
ed and his war record
speaks for itself.
Tiger Teague’s com
manding general in
troduced him as a
“battalion commander
who never failed to
take his objective.”
Tiger Teague’s men
wrote the citations
which won for him his
decorations for valor.
Tiger Teague’s
friends at Texas A. &
M. should write the ci
tation which sends
him to Congress.
Olin E. Teague helped his country valiantly in time of need during
war. Now in peacetime crisis he wants your help so that he may again
serve the nation he has aided in war.
He will help labor and management and capital meet on amicable
ground for industrial and economical peace.
He will see that no government bureau tells you who your family
doctor is to be, who will preside at the birth of your children, or who will
administer to your child’s ills.
He will help the farnvers get better pay for their labors, better schools
and hospitals for their children and wives, better farm machinery. He is
a staunch soil conservation advocate.
He will fight all racketeers, whether in the ranks of labor, government
or capital.
He will fight those forces who would change our form of government
and change our way of life.
He believes a higher standard of living is for those who work for it
and earn it. He does not believe that higher standards can be legislated
or created through a so-called “controlled economy.”
