-There are interests, however,
which drive the buglers to over

the griping of the whole freshman
class. Thi* driving force compels
them to get up early on Sunday

them Can be stated very simply—
$15 a month less tax, eat first; no

An all*intramural flag football team was picked by the
sports staff of the Freshman Battalion this week.
Selection of this all-annex nine was difficult because all
teams were well-balanced in league play. The coaches also
employed modified platoon systems which caused some play
ers to see only defensive or offensive action.
Donaldson of Co. 8 won the honor as the outstanding
athletic officer through his outstanding work at the guard
and backfield positions. He was also the only consistent ex
tra point kicker in his league.
Snyder of Co. 7 and Holland of Co. 3 were unanimously
chosen for backfield. Minturn of Co. 7 was the top choice in
the forward wall. j mM

Freshmen Hurt
In Auto Mishap
Two annex freshmen were
injured in a wreck seven miles
from Decatur Sunday night,
which resulted in the death of
two women.
The wreck occurred when a car
of seven, including a man, hit
wife, three children, and 4 mother
and mother-in-law of one of the
parents, crashed head on with an
automobile driven by Jask Hall,
freshman from Amarillo.
Riding with Hall as he returned
to A6M after the Thanksgiving
holidays were Dick Elliot, Don
Newman, Bill Scott, D. B. Pavil-
lard, and K. Ritter, all from Ama
rillo.
The two elderly ladies (names
of the occupants of the other car
were unavailable) riding in the
other car died shortly after being
admitted to the Decatur hospital.
Although he was the driver of
the car, Hall was only shaken up
in the crash, Elliot received sev
eral gashes about the head and
Newman was treated for a broken
leg at the Decatur hospital. Both
boys were released from the hos
pital Monday morning. r
Hall stated he was driving a
1941 Chevrolet and was meeting a.
long line of traffic as he -drove
toward Bryan. He said he noticed
a car pull out of the line and try
to pass another car he was about
to meet Seeing that it would be
impossible to pass the car, the
driver of the other car hosed into

Putter Jarvis
Winner of $200
Ag Scholarship
Putter Jarvis, freshman ag
riculture major from Brown-
1, has been awarded* a
scholarship by the Alpha
ma Rho, a national agri-
ural fraternity. !| •
he award was made because of
r , vis’ outstanding academic and
4-H club work while [attending
Brownwood High School.
Jarvis claims that his; work in
the 4-H organization all began
when he bought cattle instead of a
bicycle with Christmas money at
the age of ten. From this initial
investment he gradually; increased
his number of stock through swap
ping and other manipulations. In
1047, one of the winner’s calves
was named reserve grand champion
of the Brownwood show.
When his father became ill, Jar
vis was forced to limit his 4-H
work because of the extra chores
involved in helping his brothers
run their 2,200 acre fai*tn.
Three times president of his
local and county 4-H club and
twice president of his district 4-H
organization, Jarvis has won three
trips to the state 4-H Round-Up.
