.n these critical times, national defense is
calling for the wires. The telephone needs of our
Armed Forces, defense industries and govern
ment are increasing daily.
In addition, increasing amounts of the mate
rials used in the telephone business—such as
copper, nickel, rubber, cobalt, aluminum and
zinc—are going into equipment for national de
fense. They are being used to build tanks, guns,
planes and other equipment for our fighting men.
All this means that national welfare rather
than personal needs must get first call on the tele
phone facilities we now have available and on
the limited amount of new equipment we will be
able to install in the foreseeable future.
Your telephone company will continue to do
its level best to take care of civilian needs but
sometimes it may be unable to provide service
when and where it is desired. If your application
for service should be delayed, we’re sure you’ll
I understand the reason why.

Aggie Nine Strong
Enough To Score
Again For SWC
By ‘KNARF’ SAZTINAM
Sports News Editor
In 1947, the National Collegiate Athletic Association
sanctioned its first national baseball tournament, and in the
past four years, a Southwest Conference baseball team has
won the title twice.
The Texas Longhorns captured the title in 1949 and
1950, Southern California having won the crown in 1948.
Again being played in Omaha, Nebraska, the NCAA
Tourney will be minus a defending champion, although the
Texas Aggies are apt to prove that they have more than
enough strength to bring the title back again to the South
west Conference. With the Aggies winning, it would be the
third year in succession the Conference has won the title.
College baseball has come a long way since it was born
in 1885 at Pittsfield, Massachusetts. At that time, Amherst
College met Williams College with 13 men to a side.
Chief credit for the growth of college baseball belongs
to the pioneers Eppie Barnes and Joe Bednek. These two
while directing the athletics of Colgate and Penn State in
1944, got together with 20 other coaches to form the Amer
ican Association of College Baseball Coaches.
NCAA Sponsors “College World Series”
The program pushed forward by this group has been so successful,
that the NCAA jumped in to sponsor what is now called the “College
World Series” which includes teams from eight districts stretching
across the United States.
Across the nation, sports columnists are already “suggesting”
Maroon and White Coach Beau Bell as “Baseball Coach of the Year,”
and Pat Hubert as the top collegiate pitcher.
•
Other Aggies who can easily place their names on the All-
America squad this year include Shortstop Guy Wallace, who has
been hitting at a .348 clip; Second Baseman Joe Ecrette, hitting
at .306; Left Fielder Yale Lary, batting, .307; A1 Ogletree, catch
er, hitting .313; and Shug McPherson, right fielder, slamming
the sphere at .300.
Last year’s All-America nine included only one member from the
Southwest Conference, Murray Wall, pitcher of Texas.
Making up the mythical team included first base, Fred Taylor,
Ohio State; second base, Charles Teague, Wake Forest; third base,
Bill Killinger, Lafayette; shortstop, John Hasrch, Ohio University,
outfield, Jay Roundy, Southern California; Ray Van Cleef, Rutgers,
and Bob Cerv, Nebraska; catcher, Bob Murray, Arizona; and pitchers,
Wall of Texas and Tom Casey of New York University.
