The 1946-47 Intramural Program continues moving for
ward with increasing success and remaining among the top
ranking Intramural programs in the nation.
It is the aim of Intramural Athletes at Texas A. & M.
College to provide an opportunity for every student to take
part in a large variety of sports and promote competition
among large groups of those students who are either not in
terested or sufficiently proficient for Varsity competition.
During this 1946-47 program ap--f— ; —— ; —:
proximately 4,000 individual stu- championship^ teams are given ^ In
dents have taken part in 14 differ
ent team sports. These games
were flag football, basketball, ten
nis, handball, softball, volten.ball,
boxing, wrestling, ping pong, vol
leyball, horseshoes, the cross coun
try meet, the track and field meet,
and the swimming meet.
Along with these team sports
there have been five open tourna
ments. These were in golf, tennis,
handball, fencing, and badminton.
In the open tournament approxi
mately 300 students participated.
In the games sponsored by the
Intramural program awards are
given to the winners. In all team

tramural Medals. In all individual
events and in the open tournaments
the winner receives a medal.
The success of an Intramural
program comes from several sour
ces, among these, and two of the
most important, is the cooperation
of the participants and the Intra
mural Managers. A large part of
the success and work of the pro
gram is carried on through the
student managers who have done
a swell job this year.
The closing high light of the
years program will be the award
ing of the All-Year Participation
Banners in a Victory Ceremony at
the Penberthy Intramural Message
Center. This is the most signi
ficant award given by the Intra
mural program. Presentation of
Intramural Banners go to the Up-
perclass and Freshman champions
for having the best total score for
the sports offered. The ceremony
also takes in the inscription in
the Court of Honor, honoring the
Athletic Officers of the winning
units.

ually be depended on for at least
ten points in nearly every meet he
enters. Putting for second place
will be Frank Young and Leonard
Dickey in maroon and white and
James Dannelly and H. B. Pendle
ton from the forty acres.
To win the discus throw A. & M.
will be depending again on Kadera
who has never been beaten in this
event by anyone in the Southwest
Conference. Also throwing the
discus for the Aggies will be Jen
nings Anderson, R. C. McCauley,
and Dickey. T.U. will be rep
resented in the discus ring by Clay
Krames and Randall Clay.
In the javelin throw, which is
supposed to be dominated by the
Longhorns’ Frank Guess, A. & M.
has another dark horse in the form
of Vernon Belville. Belville is
capable of throwing the spear over
180 feet which is about the best
that Guess is capable of doing.
Also entered in the javelin throw
is Aggie Alton Aiken and, for his
third event of the day, work horse
George Kadera.
The winning entry in the broad
jump will probably be James Hill
was restored!
Early on December 14, 1946, flames gut
ted the Central Office at River Grove,
Illinois. Telephone service for 10,000 fam
ilies ceased to exist.
Even as the fire burned, restoration
work was begun. Emergency telephone
headquarters was set up. Mobile equip
ment arrived to handle calls of first im
portance.
Telephone men from distant points
came to aid the local forces. Bell System
standardization proved itself again for all
men were able to use the same methods,
the same tools, the same Western Electric
equipment. From Western Electric plants
hundreds of miles away the needed sup
plies— the right kinds and amounts —
were started toward River Grove.
In a matter of just 11 days ... a record
accomplishment . . . two Quonset huts
were erected, new switchboards installed,
splices and connections made. River
Grove’s communications system was re
stored.
Planning well in advance for both emerg
encies and normal growth, is a task of tele
phone management. The many and varied
problems presented offer a stimulating chal
lenge—promise adventure and opportunity
—to men who choose telephony as a career.

who has recorded the best jump
in the conference this year. Hill’s
best jump was 23 feet 8Vs inches.
Other Aggie broad jumpers will
be McCauley, Art Haws, and Jay
if Col. Andy thinks the sprinter
is in shape. Jay is the only man
who has beaten Hill in the broad
jump this year.
In the high jump Art Haws
should walk away with top honors.
Haws cleared 6 feet 614 inches in
this event earlier in the season.
William Garden another Aggie
high jumper will probably take
second place.
Leroy Bodeman the only Aggie
pole vaulter in top shape will prob
ably take this event Bodeman can
clear 12 feet, 6 inches. Crippled
Aggie vaulters Tate and Davis will
battle it out with Longhorn Co
captain John Burrus for second
place in the pole vault.
The Aggie 440-yd relay team,
consisting of Myers, Anderson,
Blackwell, and Jay, was timed un
officially last week-end in 41.4 sec
onds which equals the conference
record, but even with a showing
like that the T.U. team of Samuels,
Tatom, Lawler, and Parker will
be favored to win Saturday.
In the mile relay, the nationally
famous Aggie team of Bill Napier,
Erwin Bilderback, Holbrook, and
Harnden, will probably run away
with this event. The Aggie relay
ers have recorded the fastest time
for the mile relay that has ever
been recorded by a team in the
south.
Coach Frank Anderson said in
reference to the outcome of this
meet, “The boys have been pointing
to this meet all season; they have
the spirit, and they will win if it
is at all possible.”

Hot competition is expected in
several events, notably the mid

and the javelin with the Long
horns holding sway in the sprints
and distance races and the Ag
gies expected to romp home eas
ily in the quarter-mile and sever
al field events.
Good weather conditions to
gether with the lightning fast
Aggie track, one of the best in
the South, may easily produce
several record performances.
Both the Aggie relay team and
the Longhorn sprint quartet will
be shooting for times under the
conference record, while the Ag

Jerry Thompson will be out to
better the existing conference

ers a good preview of what to ex

field next fall. Both squads will
use the double-wing formation
re-introduced by Coach Homer
Norton in spring training, but
the game will not be without its
surprises.
Maroon “coach” Pickett has
hinted that his team plans to pull
a few tricks during the course of
the game which might mean any
thing from a screwy defensive
setup to some wide-open offen
sive formations.
Baseball Coach Lil Dimmitt
has indicated he will start his
regular team against the Medics.
Dewey Jacobs, the Aggies’ most
consistent winner on the mound
this season, will handle the hurl

To Saddle & Sirloin

State Agent for the Extension Ser

Possibilities for the construction
of a polo field, rodeo arena, and
horse barn for the use of college
students interested in this type of
sport was also discussed.
This was the last meeting of
the club for the current semester.
