another promlslne pitcher on the

his work hadn't Interfered; Jake

weeks ago but is due to leave for

He left for the Army April 5; Mack

Worth. He checked out of school
this week and reports for work
sometime In the near future.
Seems like old times to see Floyd
Darling on" the softball diamond
again. His presence on the team
will strengthen it considerably.
Floyd lacks a few hours work be-
foie receiving the Ole Sheep Skin
he is taking these by correspondence.
Cowden-Paxton is the origin
of all great things participants
in all extra-curricular actirities
and even a musical quartet. For
announcements and bookings
see Einstein Allen and Gene
Eppler.
Softball team wishes to show its
appreciation to intramural council-
man Word for her part in organizing
our team. Many thanks to Bill Led-
better for his enthusiasm and co-
operation. The softball team plays its first
league game Tuesday afternoon.
The opponent is either A. C. C. or
the Academy. The game will be
played on the Cowboys' softball
diamond; and all that're interested
in softball and would like to see a
whale-of-a-game we wish you'd
come and back us up. There's plenty
of spirit on the campus and here's a
chance to show it. What say students?
Track Field Meet

San Angclo and Abilene High
Schools will vie in a dual track and
field meet Saturday April 7 for
the area championship at the Eagle
stadium. Sweetwater also sched-
uled to take part in the track events
is not fielding a team this spring.
The defending area champion Is
San Angelo. Eagles have already
outpointed the San Angcloans in one
meet the Big Spring relays.
Many of the records established in
last year's area events already have
been bettered this spring and a
wholesale breaking may be expected
if the track is fast and the weather
is favorable.
Here arc last year's records:
120 yard high hurdles Kenneth
Carley San Angclo 16.1 seconds.
100 yard aash H. D. Terry Abi-
lene 10.6 seconds.
440 yard dash R. B. Bennett San
Angelo 53.7 seconds.
200 yard low hurdles Carley San
Angclo 26.7 seconds.
440 yard relay San Angelo (Hud-
son Wells Hay and Wall) 47.5 sec-
onds. 880 yard run Bobby Lee Hill
Abilene 2:16.3.
220 yard dash Terry 2 8 seconds.
One mile run Charles Little Abi-
lene" 4:59.6.

gclo and Dudley Fish Abilene 5 ft.

Three of Abilene's 1944 winners
are back and they're all capable of
bettering if they haven't already
bettered the records set in the area
last year. The Eagles also have sev
eral other performers who have bet-
tered the standards set in that meet.

it was soaked. Tut tut Bill! He

Gallery Says Tigers
May Merge With Yanks
Acting president Tom Gallery of
the Brooklyn Tigers who trained
here at Hardln-Simmons last sum-
mer has announced that the team
will be willing to merge with the
Boston Yanks for the 1945 season.
Gallery says that if it will help the
league he is behind it.
The Tigers have been without a
coach since shortly after they fin-
ished last season without Pete Caw-
thon. He also announced that the
Tigers won't have a home park un-
less a favorable decision on their
use of the Yankee stadium is reached
during the general league meeting
which started Friday.
The Tigers said they would no lon-
ger play their games ni Ebbcts field
after the Dodgers' Branch Rickey
refused a long term lease. The pro-
posed one-year merger with Boston
would not delay a site decision since
the team's home games would be
divided between Boston and New
York.

sioner to succeed the late Kenesaw

port is received he and Ford Frick

of the 16 clubs in the two leagues

Men's Softball Team
Now Well Underway
The men's softball team is getting
well under way with plenty of pep-
per and drive. There are from 15
to 20 participants out every after-
noon. The scrimmage with ACC
was plenty exciting and all the boys
had plenty of fun.
The starting line-up was: Sorell
first base; Brooks second base;
Brown shortstop; Findley third
base; Haynes roving short; Patton
left field; Baker center field; Smith
right field; Sherwood pitcher; and
Ross catcher.
Since it was only a scrimmage
there were many substitutes. We
came out with less runs and left a
little sadder but much wiser in the
art of softball. This past week In
practices Manager Ralph Hardy has
been trying to correct our most fre-
quent errors and we are learning
to handle the ball with a greater
amount of speed. The team as a
whole is steadily improving.
The going of Bill Jones John
Sherwood and Jack Haynes leaves
some big shoes to fill but with all
the available" material it will not
be too hard a task.
The members of the team in a
brief bull-session Tuesday afternoon
elected Garland Findley captain.
His duty is to assist the manager
'in rounding out a winning team.
The tentative line-up for the week
is: Baker or Ross catcher; Petry or
Wright pitcher; Sorell or Hardy
first base; Ross or Smith second
base; Findley third; Patton left
field; Baker or Jones center field;
Brooks Willis or Dean right field;
Wright or Smith roving short.
Huffaker and Massey
Accepted in Waves
Dorctha Huffaker and Lois Massey
are WAVE women now. This week
they felt it was. their duty to their
country so they joined up. They
are to have their physical in Houston
in three weeks and will be called
the last of May to go into uniform.
They will attend Hunter College in
New York City for six weeks to re-
ceive their basic training.
Dorctha is a sophomore transfer
from Linfield College in McMinn-
ville Oregon. Her home is in Port-
land. Lois is a freshman from Bal-
morhea Texas. Both girls state
that when they are "free" again
they are coming back to H-SU.

Claude Allen. John Petry
Draw Names of Entrants
By MARVIN BURGESS
Late Thursday night Claude Allcnand John Petry drew the names
of the tennis tournament entrants. As each drew a slip the names were
entered in the book by this writer as the matches to be played in the
first round of the tournament. They are as follows:
In the "B" Class
Garland Findley vs. Wilson Ross
Merlin Clary vs. Hollis Lloyd
BUI Sorell vs. Charles Baker
Temple Lewis vs. Ernest Reese
Gene Evans vs. Wendell Willis
In the "A" Class
John Petry vs. Doyle Cain
dermis Costin vs. Chester
O'Brien
Ralph Lutter vs. Melvin Smith
Dan Brown vs. Marvin Burgess
Lea Maples vs. Donald Patton
The first round of the tournament
will be played by the "B" class
while the "A" players will act as
umpires. This will begin at 3 o'clock
Thursday afternoon April 12. Any
player not appearing for play by
3:15 will thereby forfeit his match
to his opponent. Five winners will
thus be had from each class the
first day. Each will draw for his
opponent in the next play-off. This
will necessitate a "bye" for one in
each class. When the "A's" are
playing the "B's" will act as um-
pires. On Friday the semi-finals and
finals will be played. The player
receiving the "bye" will play the
winners of the last matches played
on Thursday. The two winners in
each class will then play for school
championship of their class. The
athletic committee is considering a
trophy for the winners. There ought
to be plenty of fifn and excitement
in this tournament if all goes well.
We will try to have a press section
and a faculty box with seats for a
limited number of spectators.
It is too early to predict the re-
sults but Lea Maples has ancw
racquet that acts like a "secret
weapon." Melvin Smith has a "fire-
ball" serve that is devastating.
Glcnnls Costin has a height and
reach that is hard to play around.
Chester O'Brien is no slouch with
the racquet cither.
' Some of the other clayers are
'"dark horses" to this writer but
after the first round we may have
more first-hand information. In the
"B" class the Garland Findley vs.
Wilson Ross match ought to be close.
What Merlin Clary will do to Hol-
lis Loyd is a matter of conjecture.
Bill Sorell and Charles Baker arc
about evenly matched. Temple
Lewis has played quite a lot of ten-
nis but with age creeping on he
thought "B" class suited him best.
Ernest Reese will try to eliminate
this threat to the "B" section. Reese
played tennis in high school for four
years and is reported to have token
Sorell in a couple of matches the
other day. Gene Evans and Wen-
dell Willis ought to play fairly even.
They arc both beginners with lots
of enthusiasm for the game. All in
all it looks like a great chance for
fun and entertainment on the cam-
fpus. Dont miss it!
