Page 4 THE BATTALION Monday, May 21, 1951 Red Sox Win, 20-2 Little League Gets Initial Beginning in Brazos County Little League baseball got its initial start in Brazos County Sat urday when, after a mammoth par ade in downtown Bryan, two games were played at the Little League Park. Bryan Chief of Police Rip Col lins, director of the Spring train ing program, threw out the first ball of the 1951 season and the American League Southside Food Market Red Sox took it from there. The Sox blasted out a 20-2 victory over the Seven-Up Tigers in the days’ most lop-sided scoring con test. In the second game, the Conway and Co. Phillies beat the Corbusier Cardinals 16-7 to take the lead in the National League pennant race. Beginning at 3 p. m. Monday on the Little League field, Lester’s Smart Shop Giants will meet the Pugh Lumber Co. Cubs and in the second game, the Lilly Creamery Yankees will play the American Laundry Athletics. Began In 1939 Little League Baseball was first organized in 1939 at Williamsport, Pa. when a businessman, Carl Stotz, decided his two nephews Langford Elected To Top ACSA Job Ernest Langford, mayor of Col lege Station and head of the Ar chitecture Department, has been elected a director of the Associa tion of Collegiate Schools of Archi tecture. He attended the annual meeting of the Association in Chicago May 6-7. The Association is made up of some 50 schools or departments of architecture scattered throughout the United States and Canada. Attending the meeting also were twelve students and professor John M. Rowlett. Rowlett participated in a panel discussion on methods of teaching architectural design. The students were in Chicago on the annual inspection trip for fifth year students in architecture. were not getting enough thrill out of baseball as they should. Stotz patterned the league after the Major Leagues, but made a few exceptions to the rules so as to increase the safety and sportsman ship of the league. A regulation Little League dia mond has only 60 foot baselines and the centerfield fence is four feet high and 185 feet from home- plate to give more chances for the youngsters to hit homeruns. Two Counties Added to ORC Jurisdiction Robertson and Milam Coun ties will be added to the area controlled by the Bryan-Col- lege Station ORC Unit. In structor’s Office, effective June 1, said Capt. M. B. Findlay, local ORC instructor. This addition to the local area is being made to consolidate and centralize control of increased Or ganized Reserve activities. With the addition of these two counties, it brings the number of counties under the local office’s control to a total of eight, with active units located in Bryan, Col lege Station, Caldwell and Hunts ville. Capt. Findlay said that his of fice plans to locate additional un its in Hearne, Cameron and Mad- isonville during the next three months. He also said that vacan cies exist for enlisted reservists in the Aviation Engineers, Armored Infantry, and Armored Field Ar tillery. Both veterans and non-veterans may enlist in these units, which hold 24 paid training assemblies annually. Those interested in such units should apply to the ORC Unit In structor’s office, box 119, College Station, Texas. The players wear a regulation rub ber cleated shoe, instead of the regular iron cleats, and batter’s helmets to prevent an occasional bean-ball from injuring the play ers. The team members are also insured by the League against in jury. 2000 Teams Across Nation. From the small beginning in Williamsport, the Little League has grown to a nation-wide organ ization with more than 500 leagues and over 2,000 teams governed by a nation non-profit organization, Little League, Inc. The corpora tion makes all official rules for the teams and is operated by Stotz who is now the national commis sioner. The games are so closely model ed after the majors that players can be ejected from the game for using improper language when questioning the decisions of the umpire. The same rule applies to spectators who dispute decisions. There are 144 games scheduled this year with each team playing 18 games. After the regular sea son, an all-star team will be chosen to represent the area in district competition. Should the team win out there, it will advance to the regional meet and get a crack at the Little League World Series title. Prof. Dan Davis Wins Fellowship Dan R. Davis, associate profes sor of sociology, has been awarded a fellowship in the college-business exchange program sponsored by the Foundation for Economic Ed ucation, Inc. of New York.

The flowering tree which tradi tionally signals the opening of po litical campaigns in East Texas blooms here a month or so later than in the Lone Star State. Most of the talk here centers around the presidential and sena torial races. Speculation on the House seats is held in check await ing the outcome of redistricting legislation in the state legislature. Lyle for Rayburn As for the Democratic national ticket in 1952, Rep. John E. Lyle of Corpus Christi, who has been an administration supporter, comes up with Speaker Sam Rayburn of Bonham for president and W. Stuart Symington, chairman of the National Security Resources Board who has been named to head the Reconstruction Finance Corpora tion, for vice-president. “Some people mention Mr. Ray burn’s age as a handicap,” Lyle added. “He is just 69, only two years older than President Tru man.” “He is certainly respected by party leaders in all parts of the country. I know some influential Southern congressmen who would endorse him but certainly would oppose Truman’s reelection.” Symington Mentioned Symington, who calls St. Louis home, is well known to many Tex ans and is a close personal friend of many of them here in Washing ton. He has been in Texas a great deal in connection with various government posts he has' held, in cluding that of Surplus Property Chief immediately after World War II. “He is the most Texan-like non- Texan in the government,” Lyle says. “He is tall a ( nd a little on the lanky side, an easy going sort of fellow who on occasion can get as steamed up as anybody. He even thinks like a Texan.” Here are Symington’s own words of what he thinks about Texans, as told to this reporter: Dr. A. 0. Schmidt To Address SAM Dr. A. O. Schmidt, researcher for the Kearney and Trecker Cor poration, Milwaukee, will be the guest speaker at the last regular meeting of the Society for the Ad vancement of Management Tues day evening at 7:30. He is to speak on experimental work in metal cutting in regard to cutting speed, tool angles, and materials, and will present the technique and results of laboratory tests. The meeting will be held in the MSC. At a special meeting of S. A. M. last week, Max White was elected to the office of president for the Fall term. Other new officers are Louis Dominguez, vice president; Bill Reichert, secretary; Doyle Nash, treasurer; Tom Mabry, Bat talion representative, and Frank Wicker as Engineer representative. “I have often said that if I had to choose a state other than my home, I would like to live in Tex as.” “It more nearly represents all America was and all that we hope it will soon be again.” Speculation regarding the sena torial situation centers around the plans of Senator Tom Connally, whose present team expires Jan uary 3, 1953. Connally Quiet He has not yet announced his intentions. In informal, off-the- record talks with close friends and associates he has said he would run for reelection. Some feel, however, he may have made the statements more because there was little else to say in the circumstances. Reports have it that his son, Ben Connally, Houston lawyer, has told his father he hopes he won’t subject himself to a tough campaign for reelection.

WEISS Boyette St. North Gate Sears Establishes Ten Ag Awards Ten of the most promising 1951 graduates of Texas high schools will get their chanqe to study Ag riculture at A&M next year as the result of a gift to the college from the Sears-Roebuck Foundation of Chicago. A check for $2,000, representing the first of such annual gifts to be made on a continuing basis, was presented to the college scholar ship funds by C. B. Roberts, Dal las, vice-president for the south western territory of Sears-Roehuck and Company. Aid to Graduates The funds were given to enable A&M to offer financial aid to out standing Texas high school grad uates who wish to study Agricul ture and do not have sufficient money to enter college. Details of the awards are being worked out by college officials, along the lines of their established program of Opportunity Awards. Three A&M students who have made outstanding records at the College have largely financed their educations through 4-H club proj ects which started in the state-wide Sears : Roebuck pig and poultry pro grams. Three Receive Aid Duane Boenig, who is a junior in the school of Agriculture, owns 177 acres of rich farmland near San Antonio which grew out of his suc cessful 4-H club projects. He start ed with a sow pig in 1941 and exhibited consistent winners at Houston, Dallas, San Angelo and Fort Worth stock shows to build up his earnings. He won the Thomas E. Wilson regional scholarship award in 1946 Murals (Continued from Page 3) of 45’2%” and Rush of A Athletics was third with 42’9”. Davis of Company 3 won the freshmen shot put with a heave of 41’11”.

Malcolm Stratmann, a junior in Agricultural Education, owns six brood sows and a boar on the farm r of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Eu gene Stratmann, near San Antonio, as the result of his successes in pig club work starting with a Sears pig in 1947. Bruce Gibson, a sophomore in Landscape Art, from Turkey, Tex as, got his start with chickens given by the company, which h« parlayed into a championship in the state 4-H poultry contest in 1945. He Won the state award in home* grounds beautification in 1946 and in 1948 won a $1,000 scholarship to A&M in a statewide club boy competition. Chancellor Cites Company In accepting the first of the company’s annual scholarship con tributions, Chancellor Gibb Gil christ paid tribute to Sears-Roe buck & Company for other major contributions to Texas agriculture which they are making through A&M. These include a $25,000 loan fund for A&M students established in 1925, fellowships under which sev en promising members of the Ag ricultural Extension Service staff have already received advanced training. The company has also sponsored „ for the past 13 years statewide 4-H club programs with swine, dairy cattle, poultry and sheep at a total cost of more than $90,000 a year, distributed among some 2,000 Tex- r as youngsters.
