Final score was 24 to 23.
The first quarter was an even

that they couldn’t break “A” Bat

shots. It paid off and they lead 12

Then the Artillerymen tried the

‘Commercialized’ Bowl Games
Draw Wrath of CAA President
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 6 (A>>—
Bowl games that “commercialize”
college football teams yesterday
drew the ire of the president of
the National Collegiate Athletic
Association.
President Karl Leib of the Uni
versity of Iowa spoke out against
some of the bowls, but did not
name them, as the NCAA and af
filiated groups settled down to the
business of their 1949 conventions.
A move to curb the growing ten
dency toward postseason games is
probable when a committee headed
by Victor 0. Schmidt, Pacific coast
conference committee, reports on a
survey of the bowls Friday.
Dr. Leib told a news confer
ence he was in favor of “bowl
games operated under the same
Clifton Pfeil was “A” Field’s
captain and best player. His ag
gressive style helped his team
to come back in the last period.
Pfeil dropped in 16 points.
Bill Beatty captained the “A”
Infantry team. However his team
mate Art Gorman proved to be the
games best player. Scoring only
10 points. Gorman was effective on
his long shots but better still on
ball handling and defense.
This win will put “A” Infantry
against “A” ASA next week.
Tonight “C” Infantry and “B”
Athletic will playoff their game
for the quarter finals. Game time
is 7 p. m.
Volleyball champs of Veteran
Leagues will be decided tonight.
Dorm 3 meets Mitchell in the
Little Gym at 7 p. m., each hav
ing won their league title. Quar
ter finals in tennis will get un
derway this afternoon.
The cold weather helped to keep
action at a minimum Tuesday af
ternoon. ASCE downed Waco Mc-
Lennon Club in flag football on
penetrations; ASCE had two 40-
yard pushes to Waco Club’s one.
Gabert and Buckner sparked the
ASCE while Sullivan and Earles
were standouts for Waco.
In another Flag Football game,
Rio Grande Club set down Range
and Forestry Club, 13 to 0. Austin
Club forfeited to El Campo Club
in football.
AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS
‘NONE TOO BRIGHT’
AUSTIN, Tex., Jan. 6 (£>)—The
U. S. Department of Agriculture
yesterday said prospects were
“none too bright” for Texas farm
ers and i-anchers in 1949.
Even the areas favored by De
cember rains got only temporary
relief, the USDA’s review for the
week ending Jan. 3 found. Subsoil
moisture is low almost everywhere
in Texas.
Livestock continued to lose flesh
despite heavy supplemental feed
ing, with pasture grasses generally
short.

pound football quarterback, receiv
ed a special award as outstanding
back in the Philadelphia district
last season.
conditions as the Rose, Cotton,
Sugar and Orange Bowls,” and
included the Shrine’s East-West
charity game in the same class.
The convention runs through
Saturday. It is slated also to dis
cuss the NCAA “sanity” code, deal
ing with eligibility of athletes, and
a committee report on television
as related to college football.
The American Football Coaches’
Association, meeting concurrently,
is expected to debate the pros and
cons of the new “platoon” system
of football substitutions, probably
the most controversial feature of
the season just ended.
It was geenrally predicted that
nothing much would come of any
argument and that the rule, per
mitting unlimited substitutions,
would go unchanged.
Officials of the coaches’ associa
tion advance automatically through
the various offices, bringing L. R.
(Dutch) Meyer of Texas Chris
tian to the presidency this year.
Journalists Get
New Name For
Club at Meeting
The “Deadliner’s Club” was
chosen as the official name of
the Journalism Club at their
last meeting of 1948, G. F.
Newton, president of the An
nex club, has announced.
Meeting in the Student Center
Batt office, a vote was taken
among the members to select the
name.
Also on the agenda for that night
was the reading of the newly-
formed constitution of the club,
which was unanimously approved.
The constitution was written by
Newton and W. E. Neuvar.
The constitution listed the
club’s purpose, membership eligi
bility, officers, and several other
points in its ten articles.
A. C. Margoitta, vice-president
of the club, received the duties of
social chairman and reporter from
the constitution. The constitution
was signed by Newton and W. W.
Aldridge, club secretary-treasurer.

Four Men on Duty
At Fire Station
Noto Heads Group
By G. F. “Fig” NEWTON
Chief Sam Noto is the head of
the Bryan Field fire station, an
organization composed of 14 men.
In the squad are six federal em
ployees, four enlisted men, and
four others employed by the col
lege.
When asked if he considered the
Annex tar-paper barracks a fire
hazard, Chief Noto said “No, I
don’t believe they are, but if one
of them ever catches, it won’t
take long for it to burn down. It
would take only about seven min
utes for one to be reduced to a
pile of warm ashes.”
The largest fire reported at the
Annex since the college took over
was during the last term, but it
was burned intentionally. A Chem
ical Warfare laboratory was burn
ed because it was reported to have
contained mustard gas.
Chief Note’s station is equipped
with two 500-gallon pumpers and
one class 110 crash truck, which
uses foam and carbon dioxide.
An average of four men are at
the station at all times.
“At one time a crew of 52 men,
four crash trucks, and two fire-
stations were located at the field.
Even though the department has
decreased in size and manpower,
it is still well-equipped to cope
with anything from a match-box
fire to a four alarm blaze.”
CUTTING TEETH AT 84
ORANGE, Tex., Jan. 6 (A’)—At
84, Thomas (Pop) Hayes, Orange
cafe worker, is teething for the
third time.
With five new grinders in and
27 to go, Hayes is leading what
he terms a “satisfying yet annoy
ing existence.”
It is estimated that all the dia
monds in the world are worth about
16 billion dollars.

Last Year At a Glance . . .
The year, 1948, has now joined its ancestors, but it has
left many events which will linger long with the Annex
freshmen.
Early in September of that year, the largest Freshman
Class to register for the Bryan Field Annex arrived. They
came by cars, trains, busses, planes—just to get to college.
Many knew they would be housed at the Annex, but others
didn’t. They were quite surprised, expecting better accom
modations, but accepting these without malice.
The first week was rugged. Freshman Week found
everyone trying to pay fees, buy books, get uniforms, all
at the same time. It went by quickly, though, and College
Night came early the next week. Over a thousand impressed
fish held their first yell practice that night, led by the cam
pus yell-leaders.
The Annex military department organized their fresh
man regiment rapidly, and the first general order placed
Richard Ingles as acting regimental commander for the
freshmen.
With football season beginning, five freshman yell-
leaders were chosen to lead the Annex yell-practice. After
a few sessions, the yell-leaders were getting perfect coopera
tion .and producing noise, plenty of it.
A short time later, after the Student Senators on the
campus were elected, Little Aggieland saw her second cam
paign of the season for student positions. A cadet from
each of the three battalions and one veteran representative
were chosen.
The first opportunity for most freshmen to see the 1948
fish footballers came on Thursday, October 14, at Kyle
Field. There they witnessed the defeat of the Bartosh-led
TCU Polliwogs, featured by the sparkling play of Glenn
Lippman.
Another first came along two days later when the fish,
or most of them, got their first glimpse of the varsity team
on Kyle Field in the TCU game.
Social life blossomed forth at the Annex when the Star
light Ball was held on October 30, the night after the Rice
game. Held in the gymnasium, which was decorated with
the current Halloween theme, a large number attended this,
the first dance sponsored by the Class of ’52.
November 6 meant the Dallas corps trip, still another
first, with the Freshman regiment winding up the corps
parade.
Football was still in the air, especially fish football, on
November 12. On that date, the freshman band followed
their team to Houston, when the powerful fish defeated the
Rice Blue Bolts.
The next two incidents of interest were within a few-
days of each other. First was another fish game, but this
time against the favored Texas University gentlemen, pow
ered by the fabulous Lord Byron (Townsend). Second was
the erection of that monument to Aggie muscle, our bonfire.
At the burning of the bonfire the night of November 23,
the fish first realized the true meaning and purpose of this
great event in an Aggie’s life.
When the Turkey Day sun set, a happier group of fresh
men had not been seen in years. They had just been privi
leged to see a Texas Aggie team “defeat” the TU team, 14-14.
Returning from the Thanksgiving holidays, one of the
first events was the promotion of the acting officers for the
regiment. Roland Zapata took the reins from Ingles as regi
mental commanding officer.
The Christmas season arrived and was highlighted by
the Student Center party sponsored by the Student Activities
office and directed by Mrs. Ann Hilliard, Annex hostess.
A few nights later all Annex freshmen were in their own
homes, or at least they weren’t at Bryan Field.
Now 1949 is here, another year in which to conquer or
be conquered. In a few weeks, semester examinations will
arrive, and another semester will begin. In the months
ahead, we have an opportunity to help make the Class of
’52 the greatest. Let’s go!
