INTRAMURALS
By
Cliff Ackerman
Yours truly has received several
letters these past two days about
our defeat last Saturday night at
the hands of the Texas Tech Red
Raiders, and all but one of them
have been blaming someone for our
loss and many of these people did
not have the intestinal fortitude
to sign their letters.
I will agree that any student has
the right to say anything he wish
es in this paper—as long as it is
not slander—, but he has to sign
his name to a letter in order to
get it printed. Even if it were
not against our policy to print
anonymous letters, anyone that has
anything to say should not be
ashamed to sign his name to any
thing he writes.
This defeatist attitude that has
spread among the student body
since last Saturday’s game is the
sorriest example of Aggie Spirit
that I have ever seen. Anyone that
will not stand by the team in de
feat as well as in victory has no
right to call himself an Aggie.
The team lost a game last Sat
urday, and they might lose sev
eral more before the season is
over, but any man that is an Aggie
will stand by them all the way.
Many people have asked me
what happened to the team last
Saturday night. I do not know,
but think it was just a case of
a team biting off a little more

Rural Sociology
Club Elects Heads
At the first meeting of the
Rural Sociology Club, held Tues
day night, September 24, Truman
Turner was elected president for
the school year. John Halloran will
than it could chew this early in
the season. The team was not rea
dy for a team like the Raiders,
and on top of that the Raiders
had more reasons for wanting to
win that game. If the Raiders
could win as they did, it would be
a big feather in their cap, but if
our team won it would have been
nothing more than was expected
of them.
With this thought in mind I
would like for the fans to think
back over the pre-game attitude.
It was very definitely an over
optimistic one that held all the
Aggies last week, and now they
think they have been let down
by the team, but in reality it is
the other way around. The TEAM
has been let down by an awful lot
of people that CALL themselves
Aggies.
The students here at Aggieland
should be very proud of the show
ing made by “Old Army’s band
last Saturday night at the Texas
Tech-Aggie football game. It was
one of the most spectacular half
time performances ever put on in
this part of the country by any
one. Congratulation from this de
partment and I am sure that
everyone that saw this demonstra
tion goes along with me on this
statement. Keep up the good work
“Old Army.”

B Team Plays Big
Opener With Rice
Charlie DeWare’s untried and
upnroven “B” team will start
the season at 3:00 p.mmori Friday,
October 4 at Kyle Field in a Power
ful opener with the Rice Institute
“B” team.
DeWare, assisted by Wayne
Cure and, as of last week, R. B.
Riddle has been trying to whip
his boys into shape despite unfav
orable weather and frequent shift
ing of players from one team to
the other.
Many members of the “B” squad
got some experience this season by
playing in the game with N.T.S.C.
here on September 21, and would
probably have made the first
string if it were not for the great
surplus of gridders with more ex
perience.
The Rice Owls are rated tops
in the Southwest, second only to
the Texas Longhorns, by several
experts including Aggie Coach
Homer Norton, but they have a
reputation for being chronic late
starters.
The Rice gray jerseyed “B”
team coached by M. A. Baumgar-
ten and with Lee and Dokas and
Wojecki as managers and trainer
respectively have, according to sev
eral sources, some good material
to work with.
P. L. Downs, Jr., business man
ager of athletics, has announced
that admission will be one dollar
and that coupon books are good
for this game.
The probable starting line-up
for the Rice squad will be as fol
lows:
Pos. Name No.
LE Chambliss 83
LT Rose 75
LG Strain 61
C Price 54
RG Kwiatkowski 60
RT Hart 70
RE Bowman 84
QB Newbill ...^ .....24
LH Braden 45
RH Shelton ^ 36
FB Tingle 7. 39
The Aggie starting line-up will
be:
LE Settegast

C Andricka
RG Brown, N. A.

WILLIAMSON’S RATINGS
Raiders Take First Win
Over Aggies in Seven Games
The Red Raiders from Texas
Tech lived up to their name last
Saturday night, as they out-rushed,
out-passed, and completely out
played the highly favored Aggies
in a highly hectic game that went
from one end of the field to the
other so fast that some of the
fans had a hard time keeping up
with the progress of the game.
The Raiders outplayed the Ags in
every department except in first
downs and the farmers had the
best of it there.
The first half was nothing more
than a kicking duel between Welch
and Hollmig for the Aggies and
Smith for the Raiders, with the
outcome almost a tie. The fire
works started in the second half
when the teams came back on the
field after their half time rest.
After the kick-off the Tech team
began a sustained drive that led
them to within easy scoring dis
tance but an interception by Ed
Wright behind the Aggie goal line
stopped this and Norton’s boys
took over their own twenty.
The Raiders started another
drive late in the fourth quarter
when Reynolds of Tech intercept
ed a pass meant for Goode on the
Aggie thirty-five and carried it
to the farmer eleven. On the next
play Reynolds again carried the
ball. This time around right end
to cross the double stripe to pay
dirt with only two minutes play
ing time left.
Hollmig received the kick-off for
the Aggies and returned it to the
forty. A pass from Hallmark to
Smith was good for eight yards
and then Hallmark carried around
the left side of the line picking
up ten yards and a first down. The
next three plays were incomplete
passes by Hallmark which left it
fourth down and ten to go. The
next play was a pass to Goode on
the Tech 19. Goode missed the
on the play and the Aggies got
another first down on the Raider
19. Three successive line plunges
and one short pass put the ball on
the Tech four, and there the game
ended with the score 6-0 favoring
the Texas Tech Red Raiders.
The starting line-up for last Sat
urday’s game was:
Texas Tech—Joe Smith, le; Ber-
nie Winkler, It; Floyd La whom,
Ig; Roland Nabors, c; James Reed,
rg; George Zoller, rt; Bill Kelley,
re; Rick Standefer, qb; Roger
Smith, If; Cecil Norris, rh; Dwight

berger, Ig; Robert Gary, c; James

It was a big week for the Intra
mural program with 50 separate
team sports taking place in flag
football, basketball, volleyball and
team tennis.
The freshmen have had lots of
pep in their football and a lot
of good playing by all.
Barber sparked the D Infantry
team to a 19-6 win by scoring
once on kick-off and again when
he snagged a 45-yard pass. A com
bination pass play on a toss from
Bucek to Thomas was the win
ning play in the A Ordnance - C
Field game. The only tie game so
far Was a 6 to 6 score in the
game between A Chemical War
fare Service and A Eng. Cook
scored for Engineers and McClure
and Harris figured in the C. W. S.
touchdown. Graham took a long
pass from Hatfield to give “B”
Inf. a win over “A” Ord.
Other outstanding players were
Turnbok of “F” Field, Fuller of
“G” Inf., Kothman of “C” Inf.
In class “A” sports basketball
took the limelight with good teams
battling it out to the last second
of play.
Thompson, lanky center, set the
Aggie - Sooners
Tangle Saturday
Norman, Oklahoma will be the
scene of the Aggies next match
when we tangle with the Sooners
of Oklahoma U. on Saturday, Oct.
5 at 2:00 p. m. ' .
The Aggie eleven has been
shifted a bit for the opening line
up and the team is slowly being
improved upon until the right
combination can be found. Dick
Wright is going in for Gary as
center, Charles Wright is replac
ing Higgins at end and Mann Scott,
is taking the place of Sturcken as
fullback.
Several of our gridders will still
be out of commission as a result
of the game with Texas Tech last
week and, as of this week, Norton
has been working with a smaller
number of men on the first string-
in order to give each more pei-sonal
attention.
Coach Tatum’s Sooners have
twenty returning lettermen from
past seasons and feels that Okla
homa U., like most other schools,
will be effected by the influx of
new students. He also feels that
his line is one of the weaker points.
The Aggie starting line-up will
be as follows:
No. Name Pos.
81 Howell LE
79 Dickey LT
63 Stautzenberger LG
57 Wright, Dick C
pace for Dorm No. 3 when they
outscored Milner 18 to 13. French
led the scoring for “B” Field in
their exciting defeat of “D” Inf.
10 to 8. Rosen showed skill in
hitting the basket when Dorm No.
9 beat Dorm No. 15 to the tune of
27 to 6. Andrews and Craig led
“A” Q. M. to a victory over “B”
Cavalry. Lasswell played an out
standing game for the losers. Mike-
linski kept the Legett team out in
front with his fast breaks and
good eye in their win over the
Vet Village team 17 to 5.
Other outstanding players were
Moore for Milner, Gilbert for “A”
Coast, Calame of the “A” Cavalry
team, and Hilliard for “F” Field.
The volleyball league got off to
a good start with close games all
the week.
Hartgraves’ outstanding serving
was the deciding factor in the “A”
Coast win over “A” Eng. Murray
for “C” Cavalry kept his team
pepped up to defeat “C” Eng. “F”
Inf. was led to a victory over “A”
Eng. by Cavitt. The outstanding
spiking by Boyd gave Leggett a
win over Dorm No. 1. Ouirey and
Petit kept “F” Field out in front
in a’ fast victory over “B” Inf.
More Aggies Are
Now Playing Golf
The attendance of golfers at the
Bryan Golf Course has increased
greatly since the beginning of the
fall semester according to C. M.
Lovell manag-er of the course.
“Pars and birdies have been numer
ous the last few days on the tricky,
eighteen hole, grass green course,”
says Mr. Lovell. The course regis
ter shows that approximately forty
Aggies play golf each day. Bill
Jones, former member of the Ag
gie golf team, says, “There are
three times as many golfers play
ing the Bryan course now as there
were in the same period of 1942.”
The Bryan golf course is located
on College Road midway between
Bryan and College Station. Mr.
Lovell, who is known to many Ag
gie students through his associa
tion with the Landscape Art De
partment of the College before as
suming managership of the Bryan
Course, states that bus service is
available from the College to the
golf course.
A green fee of fifty cents is
charged for each eighteen holes.
Players may tour the course after
five p.m. for twenty-five cents.
