It Was Hot Enough To
* 1 sn
EVERY SUMMER some newspaper, somewhere, tries it—
everybody says it’s hot enough to fry an egg on the side
walk, and the newspaper tries to do it. First you get a
couple of good-looking girls, in this case Miss Ann Hite
(left) and Miss Betsy Burchard. Then you dress them in
shorts, for obvious reasons.
AS ANOTHER experiment, frying on the hood of a car
was tried. It would seem that the egg would fry quicker
on the metal hood of the car. We’ll never know whether it
will or not, because there is no way in the world to keep
an egg yolk from sliding off the rounded hood of a car.
Anyway, the afternoon was a success, because the pictures
of the girls are pleasant to look at while sitting under a
fan, and who cares if an egg will fry on the sidewalk
anyway ?
Conivay Enters Play-Off
Against Field Maintenance
Conway and Co. defeated the
Student Co-op by three points last
night in the All-Star summer bowl
ing league to enter the play-off
against Field Maintenance squad
ron.
bowled a 236 last night for the
high game. He also had the high
series, 626.
Games over 200 were bowled by
Herb Cowham, 224, and T. E. Hes
ton, 204. i
THEN YOU GET an egg. This egg was furnished by the
Memorial Student Center. Then you find a bit of hot side
walk. Out of all the hot sidewalk to choose from. The
Battalion picked the front steps of the Administration
building—President Morgan was out of town at the time,
and didn’t know what was going on. Then, of course, you
break the egg.
THEN YOU WAIT. The egg wasfr
slower going than on a stove. In:
ture, the photographer and the fev
lot hotter than the egg looked,
shade, while the egg took 45 rain:
fried. It did fry, by the way, but
it in spite of the salt brought along
First Game
Aggies Beat Bryan Team
In their first game of the sum
mer, the Aggie All-Stars eked out
a 4-3 win over the Bryan Sinclair
team, in a 12-inning game Tues
day.
The game was a pitching duel
between the Aggies’ Bryan Beard
and Sinclair’s “Windy” Imel. Imel,
a recently discharged navy veteran,
baffled the Aggies with a mean
change-of-pace delivery that had
some of the hitters falling all over
the box.
First Inning Score
The Aggies scored in the first
inning when Bud Denton hit a
screaming triple into left field,
scoring later on Dick Connor’s long
fly ball to center field.
Two Games
Played In
Dorm Softball
The second six-weeks intra
mural softball season has
started, with two games play
ed so far.
Dormitory 14 and dormi
tory 15 started the season off with
an unequal 27-1 contest, with dor
mitory 14 on the winning end.
Grissom of dormitory 14 gave
up two hits in six innings to be
come the winning pitcher over C.
E. Salmon, a pitcher convei'ted
from an outfielder, for dormitory
15.
Dick Gardemal of 15 scored
their lone run in the first inning.
Every man on dormitory 14’s team
scored at least two runs, and five
men scored three runs in the slug-
fest.
Sinclair came right back in the
top of the second as Byers, Smith,
and Peters crossed pay dirt to go
to a 3-1 lead over the Ags.
Bill Bates scored for the Aggies
in the top of the fourth, and Beard
followed him across the plate to
tie up the score.
Winning Run
The Aggies winning run came in
the 12th inning, when Dick Garde
mal scored from second on an error.
The last 10 innings of the game
were strictly a pitchers duel be
tween Beard and ImeL Beard
faced 47 men, gave up five hits,
and struck out 13 men. Imel faced
42 men, gave up four hits, and
struck out 13 men.
These two teams will meet
again Tuesday on the lighted soft-
ball diamond on the campus.
The Aggies’ next home game is
tonight, on the lighted diamond,
starting at 8:30 p.m.

Dear Members of the Faculty and

My very deep thanks to all of

I am proud to know he had so
many fine friends.
Most sincerely,
