Thursday, January S, 1953 THE BATTALION Page 3 Blind Bogey Starts Tomorrow In The weekly Blind Bogey will be held in the MSC bowling alley all day Friday, according to John Geiger, manager of the bowling alley. A model score is selected at random from lines bowled some time during the year. The score may be high or it may be low. The person who comes closest to duplicating the score is the win ner. Under this system everyone has a chance to win. Winners are then given a chance to draw a number out of a hat. The numbers are from one to five. The number drawn is the number of the prize he will win. The prizes vary from a steak dinner to a new pair of bowling shoes. There are three winners, a first, second, and a third. The first place winner had five prizes to choose from which are better than the five the second place winner choses from and the same for the third placer. Winners will be announced sometime early the next week. Tigers Meet Dime Box at 8 In CHS Gym The Consolidated High School Tigers basketball team will play host to Dimebox High School in a game starting at 8:00 p. m. tonight. Fresh from their second district win over the Buckholtz Badgers last Tuesday night, Coach O. V. Chafin’s Tigers will be trying to add another win to their impres sive record. Consolidated has lost one game thus far 1 , that being a tournament game against Love- lady High which beat them 30-25. Three starters were ill when the Tigers suffered the defeat, and although all three played in the tournament, Bobby Jackson, Byron Andrews, and Joe Motheral were ill. Jackson threw off his illness enough to make the Madisonville all-tournament team. The feature game will be pre ceded at 7:00 p. ro. by an encount er between the “B” teams of the two schools. Aggies Have Good Chance Against Porkers—Pirtle PROMISING SOPHOMORE—Bill Pirtle says Aggies are on the way up, and should beat Arkansas. Soccer League Formed By Five Area Teams A soccer league to be called the Texas International Soccer League was formed Dec. 6 in the' Senate Chamber of the Memorial Student Center by representatives of A&M, Bryan Air Force Base, University of Houston, Allen Academy, and Texas University. The meeting which was called by Paul M. Andrews, director of Physical Education at A&M and W T i]liam F. MacDonald, instructor of English at Allen Academy, re sulted in the first league of this kind ever to be formed in this area; At this first meeting, basic, ten tative rules for conduct of League competition were drawn up and ac cepted. Schedules for games dur ing the entire scholastic year were also agreed upon. Purpose of the League is to promote the interest of the youth and public of Texas in the sport of Soccer. Captain Dionysius Roxs of the Netherlands was designated Chair man of the meeting, and MacDon ald, secretary. Representing the founding mem bers at this historic meeting were Captain D. Roxs and Lt. Richard “I believe we can take Arkansas Saturday night if we get the jump on ’em. We can beat anybody in the conference if we play like we did the first half against Baylor.” Rodney Pirtle, 170 pound Aggie soph forward' from Coleman who stands (5-2, offered this opinion, of Fprmer chances against league' foes. He believes that the Aggie team, man-for-man, was 20 points bet ter than Baylor, but that Ags have hit a period of staleness in Army and Air Force Rifle Teams To Fire Area Air Force and Army rifle team matches will begin between Jan. 1 and Feb. 15.

Inc\^g which they seem unable to move smoothly. “But we’ll pull out of it, and when we get going, we’ll give someone lots of trouble. And it just might he Saturdays night,” Pirtle went on. Saying that the team was click ing when the season stated, Pirtle said that the University of Hous ton Cougars is the best club the Aggies have faced thus far this season, and added that the major ity of the Ag basketballers were of the same opinion. Pirtle, one of the outstanding players on last year’s fish squad, has earned a starting berth with the varsity by his intense love of the game. He lives and thinks bas ketball. He gives careful study to proper defensive and offensive plays, and is seldom caught out of position by a,n opposing player*. Although his scoring has fallen off considerably in the last several games, Pirtle has a good eye for the basket. When he begins to hit the netting consistently, the ex tra points can well lead the Ag gies back into the victory column. George to Speak To Beaumont Club Head Football Coach Ray George will speak at the Beaumont A&M Club’s annual football party, Jan. 21 at 7 p. m. at the Harvest Club in Beaumont. —TONITE AND FRIDAY— Betty Hutton “SOMEBODY LOVES ME” —Plus Joan Davis “HAREM GIRL” INTRAMURAL HIGHLIGHTS Magee Paces Scj, Over ASA 22-0 By JERRY WIZTG Battalion Sports 'Staff Jason Magee passed for two touchdowns and Bobo Smith, put on a fine offensive and defensive show as Sq. 7 rolled to a 22-0 victory over ASA in Wednesday’s only regularly scheduled intramur al football game. With an airtight defense stifling ASA’s offensive drives and hold ing them outside the 40 yard line, the .winners rolled up three touch downs and a safety and booted two conversions. Smith blocked an at tempted pass in the end zone for the safety on a questionable de cision by the official. In a feature football game sup ervised by the intramural de partment, Corps Staff rode the passing arm of Weldon Kruger for two touchdowns and a 12-7 win over the First Division Staff. Two Passes Thrown The two passes, only ones thrown by the Corps Staff, were snatched by John Moeller and Put ter Jarvis and gave the winners a 12-f> balftitpe lead. Ha:told Huds peth s f cofed' on aii • end : svfeep in the second half for the Division'* staff. Corps Staff’s first touchdown play covered 50 yards with Kruger throwing from midfield to Moeller on the 15.

Durdin’s 13 points were good for the top spot in the day’s court battles. C FA had little trouble as they shot into a 17-G lead at the half. F. S. Howard was high for the winners with seven points.

Andrews was spokesman for the Aggie Soc cer Team; George Paninski, Cap tain of the Cougars Soccer Team, represented them; MacDonald, Don Moon Moon 9 s Injury Hurts Cadets Don Moon, outstanding guard on the Aggie basketball squad who is a defensive star, received an in jury prior to the Cotton Bowl SWC basketball tournament and will be out of action for approximately four weeks. Coach John Floyd said that Moon’s injury has already hurt the team’s performance in games Moon has missed. Moon stands G-Sllj and weighs 160 pounds, is a soph who hails from Minden. He is a scrappy lit tle guard who could easily be the best defensive player in the con ference this season. Taking great pride in stopping his man, Moon constantly worries him as long as he has the ball. He never lets his man drift away from him, and seldom is the oppos ition player able to make a straight break for the basket. On offense, Moon has a good, steady outside two-handed shot, and he drives well. He is also a very capable post feeder. Coach of the Allen Academy team guarded their interests; and Guil lermo Cardenas, Captain of the Aggie Soccer Team sat in for Rob ert Walker to represent the Long Horns Soccer Team of TU. Several soccer teams have been competing with each other in this area for the last two or thre’e years, but until now, there had been no reward except the pleasui’e of winning. With a league, there will be an annual champion and much better co-ordination with scheduling games. League games will get underway on Sunday, Jan. 11. On that date, the “Cougars” of Houston Uni- versity will be host to the team (See SOCCER LEAGUE, page 5) Davis Best Yet Says Anderson “It looks to me as if Buddy Davis is the next world high jump record holder,” said Frank (Col.) Anderson, Aggie track coach. Davis who was recently select ed Southwesterner and Southwest athlete of the year is one of the greatest athletes ever to be gi*ad- uated from A&M. In the recent Sugar Bowl track meet, Davis won the high jump with a leap of six feet and eight inches. “It is very surprising Davis could do so good without practice and having played a basketball game the night before,” said An derson. “This is why I believe Davis can break the world high jump record if he continues to work at it,” Anderson added. Anderson coached Davis to twa Southwest Conference champion< ships and the world championship in the Olympics. Stricken with polio *08 a child, Davis fought his way back to health and fame as a trackman and basketball player. “It is every coaches desire to find a “Davis” on his track team,” said Anderson. “Nothing would please me more than to find someone like him next year because it is going to be pret ty tough without him,” Anderson continued.
