. . . will he the University of Texas’ No. 1 high jumper Friday
when A&M meets TU in a triangular meet in Austin. In the five
times that Womack has jumped against Aggie competition (Border
Olympics, Texas Relays, one dual and two tri-meets) he has won
the high jump once with a leap of 5’ That was at the Border
Olympics. In other chances he took two seconds and two fourths,
hut his best jump this year is 6’ 6".
ATTENTION MILITARY GRADUATES!
We now have in stock the NEW OFFICER’S
GUIDE. This new volume brings up to date the val
uable features of its predecessors, and constitutes a
treasure chest of helpful information and guidance.
Officers of all grades and length of service, on
active or inactive duty, recognize the value of having
THE OFFICER’S GUIDE available for ready refer
ence and wise counsel. Half a million officers have
used this book in its many editions. THE OFFI
CER’S GUIDE is not, as supposed by many individ
uals, a guide designed solely for junior officers. True,
most junior officers do acquire copies early in their
career as there is no substitute for this reliable and
ever ready source of helpful information. However,
many experienced officers of senior grade with many
years of service find THE OFFICER’S GUIDE a
highly useful and time saving reference.
The officer’s family will also benefit by reading
this comprehensive volume. Selected sections such
as Army Posts and Stations, Foreign Service and Life
in Oversea Commands, Customs of the Service, The
Code of the Army, and Leadership help to orient your
family on the military way of life. To a surprising
degree the career of an officer is influenced by his
wife. She can contribute most to his success if she is
fully informed as to the Army’s codes, requirements,
customs, and opportunities.
This new edition is in tune with the situation of
today and tomorrow. Considerable revision has been
accomplished to incorporate important changes in
regulations.
Don’t get left out, come in today and get your
copy today, we have only a limited stock.

’Mural News
By PAT LeBLANC
Battalion Sports Writer
Through the keen efforts of
Sonny Hollaway, the Agronomy
Society players defeated the Ag
riculture Engineers in a playoff
game of the Intramural Softball
League, 4-3.
Sonny Hollaway not only pitched
steady ball for the Agr. squad but
he belted a game-tying homer in
the third canto. He fanned four
adversaries and only walked four.
Eddie Rodriques, of Ag Eng,
also pitched a creditable ball game.
He had been riding on what ap
peared to be a comfortable two-run
margin, until he became wild in
the third.
Ag Soc gathered their winning
marker in the fourth when Ray
Kunze was forced in. An infield
error and two free tickets to first
to Ray Falke a,nd Leo Mikeska by
Rodriques sent Kunze circling the
bases.
Ag Eng collected two runs in the
first inning through the efforts of
Morris Davis and Dick Harris and
then pushed across one more in
the top of the fourth as Hollaway
showed some symptoms of wildness
momentarily but regained his con
trol as he whiffed two batters.
In the third period, Agr. Soc tied
the score at 2-2 when Leo Mike
ska, Shelby Newman and Keith
Hargrove drew walks and the Ag
Eng team made several errors.
Kream & Kow Milks ASCE
The softballers of Kream &
Kow had an easy time of it milk
ing their ASCE opponents, 10-4.
ASCE had to send three hurlers
in an effort to terminate the wave
of runners who crossed the plate
in the big third inning for the
Milkmen. These three moundsmen
were Spec Davenport, A1 Rollins
and Sherman Hink.
Every man on the Kream & Kow
squad made at least one run.
Monday’s Volleyball
Six ’Mural volleyball games were
reeled off Monday.
In the best match of the day
as exemplified by the roars from
the crowd, B QMC outlasted B
Eng in two out of three games.
B QMC won the first, 15-6, lost
the second 8-15 and then took the
final one handily 15-4.
ASA grabbed two quick ones
from B FA by 15-1 and 15-9. C
Inf blanked D FA in the initial tilt
and then went on to take the sec
ond, 15-13.
B Inf beat A AF 15-8 twice and
B Armor took the measure of A
Armor, 15-10 and 15-3.

Meeks, Ragsdale to Vie For
Honors At Triangular Meet
By RAY HOLBROOK
Battalion Sports Writer
Bobby Ragsdale, the Ags’ star
broad jumper who will be favored
in the runner-up spot to Texas’
Charley Meeks in that event this
week as well as in the SWC meet,
is probably the most versatile
member of the talent-laden A&M
track and field squad.
This all round track man is only
a sophomore this year and would
probably be hailed as the best
prospect of the year were he not
overshadowed by another sopho
more, the undefeated weight star,
Darrow Hooper.
Ragsdale, from Junction, had
no high school reputation when
he entered A&M, but is now
capable of picking up points in

five events in the keenly compe
titive SWC.
A&M’s Best
At present, he is the conference’s
second best, and A&M’s best broad
jumper with about 23’ 6”. He also
runs on the SWC’s best 440 re
lay, and is the cadet’s second best
low hurdler with a chance at sec
ond or third in the conference.
Were he not so busy he could
probably pick up points in the 220
and 440 and perhaps make the
mile relay. He went to the Sugar
Bowl track meet as alternate on
the mile relay and will be a cinch
to make it next year.
There is no telling what Rags
dale will be competing in by his
senior year, but you can bet he’ll
be winning two or more events in
most meets before he is through.
His best day this year was in the
LSH dual meet where he won the
broad jump and low hurdles to tie
with Hooper for high point honors.
Billy Bless
The boy ^gsffale has been chas
ing all year in the low hurdles is
junior Billy Bless from San Anton
io. Bless was runner-up last year
in the SWC low hurdles for the
Aggies and should be the South’s
top man this year. Though he is
determined to beat Ralph Person
of Texas, he has been edged out by
the Steer in most meets this year.
Bless is National Interscholastic
record holder in the 220 yd. low
hurdles with a time of 21.8. He
has whipped off a 22.4 in this event
in practice sessions, and is poten
tially the greatest low hurdler in
the nation. The conference record
is 22.8 held by Bob Hall of A&M.
440 Relay
Among his other accomplish
ments Bless runs second on the
five-Aggie 440 relay, handing off
to Ragsdale in the third spot. If
Bless can ever get everything go
ing smooth, he’ll beat Person and
set a few new low hurdle records
for A&M.
Charlie Meeks and Bobby Ragsdale
’ -fHHwy mi 'WMPfm
. . . will fight it out in the tri-meet Friday for first in the broad
jump. The University of Texas lad’s best this year has been
23’ ll'/s” while Ragsdale’s finest was close to 23’ 6”.
Arizona Nine Has
19-1 This Season
The Arizona Wildcats, the base
ball team who will meet the SWC
winner, has won 19 games and lost
but one so far this year.
This is the same team, with the
exception of a graduated hurler,
who many thought Texas was lucky
to beat last year.
