to 0 . in. an Intramural softball
game., '! ■
Jack Green hurled one-hit half
for Bizzell as Fie registered his sec
ond win of the semester against
one defeat.
Green was never in trouble as
his mates tallied eight Titties , in
the first inning on five walks, two
eyrors and two bits,
i The game, which lasted only four
innings, \saw Green face only
thirteen bfatters. ‘J i
Huff, and Penj did the hurling
for Dorm -Hffwith Huff being
.charged with the defeat.
The win moved Bizzell intjo a

Four intersdctional games head
he Aggie football schedule this
eason and they all look like rough
mes. Harry Stiteler had dropped
he old practice of his predecessor,
lomer Norton, in playing a weak
team at the beginning of the sea
son, and has lined up a far-away
ame with Villanova in Philadel-
jhia to begin the season.
Next in line conus Texas Tech
at San Antonio,' Oklahoma at
Norman, and LSU at Baton
Rouge. These last three are old
intersectiohal rivals of A&M and
as always will give^the Aggies
a run for the ball game.
The game with the Wildcats of
Villanova will have the Aggie
squad traveling farther than they
have since before the last war.
Both teams will be in thq dark as
to exactly what the other has, so
anything can happen.
Villanova ha* produced some
good teams in the past few- years
and can be expected to field an
other this fall.
The Wildcats will have a big i
line with capable men to fill
every position except center.
John Sadusky and Lou Ferry
will probably fill the tackle slots

Ed Be n an a*, Joe Sheehan ami

Villanova Coach Jordan Olivar
will have an ample supply of
backfield men also. Many soph

back up such regulars as Bill
Doherty. Andy Garden, Joe Rog
ers and Bob Polidor. Doherty
will probably handle the signal
calling assignment.
The Aggies will have a tough
assignment to fulfill in defeating
this team. Villanova has the home
team advantage while A&M will
have a long ride'beHind them when
they come ori the field. Right pow,
this game looks like a toss-up.
Couch Dell Morgan and his Red
Raiders will be gunning for A&M

defeat of last year.

by graduation last Spring (es
