THE BATTALION
Page 3
■ON KYLE FIELD
by PAUL MARTIN
Intra-Collegiate Sports for All
Sports for everyone are becom
ing increasingly popular at A & M
and the field is being broadened so
that anyone who wishes to parti
cipate may do so in almost any
event. The intramural program
is now being enlarged so as to take
in men from almost every area,
some of whom
didn’t get the
opportunity to
enter last se
mester. D e -
spite this, the
program at
A & M w a s
the largest in
ggl the world with
l&fo some two
thousand men
partici-
pating each
week. In ad
dition to this,
the Physical Education Department
is now organizing or has already
organized several athletic clubs
to include such sports as handball,
badminton, volleyball and weight-
Martin
lifting. The latter was voted to be
the most popular by the P. E. stu
dents when asked what kinds of
clubs they would like organized.
A meeting for this purpose is to
be held Wednesday evening in the
gymnasium at 5 p. m. W. M.
Dowell, sponsor of the badmin
ton and fencing clubs and chair
man of recreation, has plans for
enlarging the scope of the clubs
and staging matches with not only
the local teams but out-of-town
teams as well. Members will be
permitted to make the trips and
arrange matches if they so desire.
There has, for some time, been a
movement on this campus to give
more support to minor sports and
local competition in which every-
o n e who wants to can find
some good, healthy activity. De
spite the fact that no academic
credit is advanced to those who
participate in intramurals as it
was at one time, the number in
volved is the largest in the schools
history.
Football Team Prepares For Work
Football spring training is only
a month away and preparations
are being made for a winning
team. In addition to Zapalac,
Moncrief, Daniels and several oth
ers who played on the A team last
semester, Norton is losing Scott,
Shefts, Johnson and Dick Wright
for next year. The latter are
dropping out of school although
all are in good scholastic standing
and will be permitted to re-enter
in the fall if they desire to do so.
Five former Aggie gridders are
returning including four backs.
Those returning are Bobby Goff,
halfback, Paul Y a t es, fullback,
Jimmie Cushion, quarterback, Don
Nicholas, back, and Bill Walker,
guard. Goff was outstanding as
a punter and ball carrier while
Yates excelled as a blocking back.
Cushion handled the brains depart
ment in calling the plays and toss
ing the passes to emerge with the
Most Valuable Player award for
the 1944 season, the first year the
T was used at A&M.
In the line-up will also be Julian
Pressly, great 1946 prospect who
missed the season because of an
injured knee.
Houston County Club Will
Elect New Officers Feb. 6
New officers will be elected for
the Houston County Club Thurs
day, February 6, George E. Darsey,
president, has announced. The
meeting, will be held in Room 305,
Academic Building, at 7 p. m.
Bears Trim Aggies
44 to 39 in Waco
The Aggie cage squad lost for
the second time to the Baylor
Bears Friday night and dropped
from fourth to fifth place in con
ference standings. Playing in Waco
the Ags trailed 15 to 22 at the half
way mark and ended the game at
44-39. \
Opening fast, the Bruins paced
the Cadets seven points before the
latter were able to score. Inability
to connect with free throws seemed
to be the great weakness of the
visitors for they made only five
points that way as compared to 16
by Baylor.
At the beginning of the second
half the Farmers showed improve
ment and out-scored their oppon
ents by chalking up 24 points to 22
for the hosts. However the Bears
held at least a five-point lead
throughout the match.

Aggie Track Mentor
On NCAA Group
Frank Anderson, head track
coach at Texas A&M College,
has received notice that he has
been appointed to membership on
the Track and Field Rules Com
mittee of the National Collegiate
Athletic Association (NCAA) as
the representative of District 6,
one of the eight divisions into
which the nation is divided.
At the same time Arthur Adam
son, swimming coach ^t Texas A
& M. was reappointed to the Swim
ming Rules Committee of the
NCAA. He also serves on com
mittees on swimming in the Ama
teur Athletic Union (AAU).
Both have been appointed for
terms of four years.
■ Head Coach Marty Karow an
nounced the engagement with the
Triangles, a non-conference bout,
to make up for the unplayed tilt
against LSU that was canceled be
cause of wet floors during the
Houston Invitation Tournament.
The Triangles are an amateur team
that includes such cagers as Bill
(Jitterbug) Henderson, all-time
Aggie great of pre-war years who
holds eleven letters in five sports,
Bill Henry, great Rice hardwood
ace who holds the all-time record
in the Southwest Conference indi
vidual for scoring, both average
per game and total points, and
Hal Lambert, another Rice great.
Coach Johnnie Frankie of the B
squad succeeded in arranging for
an opponent only last Friday for
that week and states that the Kelly
Field quintet is a tough club. Fran
kie also announced the addition of
five new men to his squad, all of
whom entered at mid-term. These
men are W. R. King, 6 foot 6 inch
center from Fort Worth; G. M.
Brown from Tarleton; A. S. (Bud)
Saunders from Greenville; L. R.
Walker, a returnee from the war
time Kiddie Corps; and H. E. Steu-
ssy, a scrappy 5 foot 5 inch guard
from Port Arthur. The acquisition
of these men gives Frankie an ade
quate number of substitutes and
reserves to compensate for the
possible loss of Buddy Moore to the
A squad.
Weight-lifting Club to Be
Organized Wednesday
W. M. Dowell of the Physical
Education Department has an
nounced that a meeting will be held
in the gymnasium next Wednesday
at 5 p. m. for the purpose of or
ganizing a weight-lifting club here
on the campus. Membership is
not restricted and all those wishing
to join are urged to attend.
At a meeting some weeks ago of
members and students of the P.E.
department a vote was taken to
determine which clubs the students
would like to see organized and
weight-lifting proved to be the
most popular.
