He explained that Hempstead
has only four returning lettermen,
and that Consolidated has tied
them the last two years, 7-7, 6-6.
After giving a. rundown of this
year’s squad, Bevans explained
why the Tigers are playing to win
in every game.
“I think football is a teaching
situation,” he said. “We want to
teach the boys to win in football
so they will win in life.”
“Above all, we want to have the
respect of the other team When we
leave the field,” Bevans said.
Aggie bowlers will have an op
portunity to share in $50,817 worth
of prizes to be distributed in the
nation-wide Red Crown bowling
contest by- the Brunswick-Balke-
Collender Co. during the coming
bowling season.
The Memorial Student Center
bowling alleys is participating in
the contest. Entry blanks can be
obtained there, said John Geiger,
bowling director.
The contest is open to all tenpin
bowlers and is broken down into
six separate contests, each lasting
nine days.
The first runs from October 3-
11, and succeeding ones are ‘sche
duled for November, December,
January, February and March.
Nothing to Buy
An entrant doesn’t have to pur
chase anything, write any letters.
He just bowls three successive
games of non-Teague . play in ac
cordance with the rules and enters
the scores on the free entry blank
provided.
The bowling proprietor forwards
all entry blanks at the close of each
contest to Brunswick’s main of
fice in Chicago, where winners are
chosen by Brunswick’s self-rating
system. High scores do not neces
sarily win.
Each entry will be judged in
dividually, according to the self
rating system. To protect all con
testants, this formula for judging
winners will not be revealed.
If the entrant thinks his bowling
is not good enough to compete with
the “hotshots”, he can compete in
one of six classifications, ranging
from “beginner” to “star”. Re
gardless of what a person’s aver
age is, the scores rolled in the con
test will determine into which
classification the entry falls.

whistling! Somebody discovered
I had a voice, so I took singing
