The tri umph moved the third place Sox 4 to within three games of the de fending champions and left them four behind Cleveland. Boston trails the Tribe by only one in the important “lost” column. Giants Hustle New York’s Giants refuse to give up their fight to overhaul the National League leading Brooklyn Dodgers. A sweep of a double- header from Boston, 3-2 and 9-1, enabled them'to cut Brooklyn’s lead to five and a half games. The Dodgers whipped the Philadelphia Phils, 5-2. Philadelhpia’s Athletics tpok two from Washington, 4-1 and 9-7; Cincinnati defeated Pittsburgh, 6-3, and the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs split. The Cubs won the opener, 3-2, in 11 innings and the Cards grabbed the nightcap, 6-5. Rosen, Easter Homer The homers by Rosen and East er were all Cleveland’s Early Wunn deeded to register his 17th tri- Jmph against 12 losses. The right- iiander surrendered only four hits. Dick Kryhoski batted in both De troit runs with a homer and sin- fle. r Brilliant pitching by Leo Kiely r.nd Maurice McDermott, a pair of youpg southpaws, helped Boston to its loth victory in 15 meetings with the Yankees. * Kiely Does Well Kiely, called up from Louisville last July, hurled seven runless in nings before weakening. A bril liant rescue, job by McDermott helped the 21-year-old from Ho boken, N.J., to his fifth victory in eight decisions. Billy Goodman’s two-run double in the first inning, Ted Williams’ 28th homer in the third and Bobby Doerr’s single in the fifth, ac counted for the Red Sox runs. All came with two." out. Vic Raschi lost his ninth decision against 17 victories. Williams now has hpm- ered in every park, joining Eddie Robinson of Chicago as the only American Leaguers to accomplish the feat this season. A grand slam homer by Gil Hod ges, the sixth of his career, gave the Dodgers and Ralph Branca V their victory. It was Hodges’ 37th circuit clout and Branca’s 13th tri umph. solidated eleven meet Kosse in a non-conference game at Tiger Field. This game should forecast things to come for the “Tigers” who last year were third in district play with two wins and two losses. Beginning his third year as head coach at Consolidated, 0. V. Chafin was optimistic about this year’s light, fast team. He predicted that the team would win more games this year than last year, unless something unforeseen happened. The Tigers will be using the T formation Friday night with Fred Anderson, 120 pound sophomore in the man-under slot. No injuries will hinder the Consolidated aggre gation. They worked out under the lights during the first part of the week, but will relax with a light workout today in anticipation of the coming tilt. Starting Lineup In the starting lineup for Friday night, the end positions will be filled by two sophomores—Jimmy Richards, 130 pounds, and David Bonnen, 135 pounds. Don Williams, 155 pound sophomore will hold down left tackle in Friday night’s game and will act as team captain for the game. Playing ht the right tackle position will be Thomas Wade, senior with weight set at 130. The two guard posts will be filled by Don Royder, 125 pounds, senior student, and Jimmy Bond, 140 pound sophomore. Pinky Cooner, weighing 150 pounds will start at center. Rounding out the backfield will be three seniors—Jerry Leigh ton, 149 pounds at right half, Gayle Klipple, 135 pounds at full back, and George Johnston, 135 pounds at left half.

C. V. Chafin Head Coach Aggie Aerial Attack Shaping Up Attainment of Coach Ray George’s No. 1 objective of develop ing an acceptable passing attack for the Aggies loomed as a defin ite possibility near the conclusion of the first week of two-a-day workouts. Team conditioning has become of secondary importance now that most of the players have rounded into their weights of last season, and George and his staff are put ting increased stress on throwing and catching the football, and blocking for the passer. If A&M develops this passing game to equal the running game of last year, most of George’s worries will be over. The coaching staff has placed training on a general theme of team improvement rather than one of competition for the “starting” berths. The four quarterbacks, for exam ple, are getting identical schooling in ball handling, passing and signal calling in an effort to raise the overall level of efficiency. Quarterbacks Dick Gardemal, Ray Graves, Delmer Sikes and Roy Dollar have actually progressed faster than their receivers in the passing-attack plan. The chunkers have been laying the ball in the receivers’ arms, but the ends have had some difficulty in holding the areials. Graves, a junior squadman, has developed rapidly in passing during this past week. Bob Smith, the Aggies’ fullback candidate for All American, re turned to college this fall in good Injuries Hit Aggies During Workouts Injuries cropped up among the Texas Aggies as the squad went through a long work-out yesterday. Charlie Hodge, starting end, pulled a muscle and guard Robert George suffered a head injury. Meanwhile, Yale Lary, the team’s top punter, watched from the side lines with a pulled muscle. He hasn’t worked out all week and neither has linebacker Van Heth- erly, who also is hux-t.

MeKenzie-Baldwin Business College 702 S. Washington Bryan, Texas PHONE 3-6655 condition fop the first time in his college career. Wearing a plastic mask this year instead of the leather-covered face piece, Smith has mixed in blocking and tackl ing practice with the enthusiasm and abandon of a sophomore. The big fullback and his two running mates— Billy Tidwell and Glenn Lippman—already show much of the polish and hustle which caused the Aggies to lead the conference in scoring and rushing last sea son. Coach Gil Steinke has been im pressed by the smallest player in the Aggies backfield—sophomore fullback Johnny Salyer of Austin. Salyer, who quarteibacked the freshman team last year, has been as hai’d to stop as a young Bi’ah- man. Two other sophomores—half backs Pete Mayeaux of New Or leans and Bill Ballard of Wylie— are developing defensively for this fall. A transfer from Tulane and a member of the Aggie B team last year, W. G. Blair has moved ahead rapidly at the tackle spot. His ability and desire have pleased line coach Paul McMurtry. Lettermen tackles Sam Moses and Jack Little and guards W. T. Rush, Mai’Shall Rush and Elo Nohavitza ai’e get ting back into seasonal stride. Coach Hank Foldbei’g pi'ejsed his ends all week in an effort to de velop the receiving end of the pass ing attack. Ends Walter Hill, Clin ton Gwin, Darrow Hooper and Eric Miller turned in good defensive performances duxing scrimmages, but Foldbei'g has found all the can didates weak on blocking and pass receiving.

We hear it every day, wherever we may be. In the whispering of tall trees...the music of rushing brooks...the songs of the birds... the gay laughter of happy children... we ' hear the voice of the Great Creator. Through ... his infinite grace a bird is enabled to sere nade his mate, a tiny cricket chirps its faint refrain. God is the Bringer of all blessings to man and beast alike. Let us give thanks to Him who has so en riched our lives. Open church doors beckon all over our land. Let us seek the House of the Lord, and enter in to pay Him homage. Here through prayer and humility, let us re-dedicate ourselves to His service and glorification. THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . . ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is the greatest fac tor on earth for the building of character and good citizenship. It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and sup port the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake, (2) For his children's sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and ma terial support.
