"IN THE VILLAGE"
Nine Matches Run
Off in Intra Play
Nine matches were reeled off in
the winners bracket of the Intra-
mural Tennis Singles tournament
and things shape up for some fast
action this afternoon in the losers
bracket. Players who are undefeat-
ed remain in the winners bracket
and those who have suffered but one
defeat move to the losers bracket.
Two losses are necessary before
elimination from the tournament be-
comes effective. So those players
still going strong in the losers brac-
ket can come back and take the
whole prize by maintaining a win-
ning way throughout the remainder
of the tourney.
In the winners bracket Don Lance
took the measure of Jim Jackson in
one of the closest matches played to
date. The first set went to Don
6-4 but Jackson came back to cop
the second 8-6. In the third and de-
ciding set Lance was too steady
and he walked away with a 6-4 win.
Roy Mellor showed little mercy with
Pete Johnston taking his match in
straight sets, 6-1, 6-1. Charlie Bent
after beating Charlie Tighe in a
close first round encounter found
Laskey Baker a bit easier. He took
Laskey 6-2, 6-4. Robin Robinson
and Dan Weiser matched strokes
and Weiser couldn't quite keep up
with the smooth stroking Baker
and fell to a 6-3, 6-3 score. Jacob
Geller is moving right along as ex-
pected. He turned back Jerry Blum
in his first round match and then
unloaded against Gene Wolfe 6-2,
*6-1 in the second. Pat Savage found
R. A. McMuvtray out of top notch
form and took a tough 8-6, 6-3 vic-
tory.
The losers bracket saw Dan Blox-
som beat James Jackson 3-6, 6-2,
6-1. Richard Davis beat Henry
Lacy 6-2, 6-1, Dave Chapman took
defeated Charles Coleman 6-3, 6-4,
Carl Cook 9-7, 6-0, * Charlie Tighe
and W. R. Bullen took a win over
Anderson by a forfeit.

Kiwanis To Give
Annaal Award
For Sportsmanship
A new Southwest Conference
award was announced last week.
It is the Southwest Conference
Sportsmanship Award and will be
sponsored by the Downtown Ki-
wanis Club of Fort Worth through
its sports committee.
The award, to be presented an-
nually, will be given this year to
the Southwest Conference football
player deemed to have performed
the most sportsmanlike act of the
1950 season. The winner and his
coach will be brought to Fort Worth
for presentation ceremonies some-
time early in December.
Southwest Conference newspaper
sports editors, radio announcers,
publicity directors, coaches and of-
ficials are being invited by the
committee to nominate candidates
for the award. Final selections of
the winner from among the nomina-
tions received will then be made
by a special committee of six "jud-
ges."
These six include: Flem Hall of
the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Bill
Rives of the Dallas News, and
Blackie Sherrod of the Fort Worth
Press, representing the sports edi-
tors; Ves Box of KRLD, Dallas,
and Charlie Jordan of the -Texas
State Network, Fort Worth, rep-
resenting the broadcasters; and
Norman Earl, representing the Fort
Worth Kiwanis Club.
Ray McCulloch, veteran South-
west Conference official, conceived
the idea for the award and is chair-
man of the Fort Worth Kiwanis
Club's Sports Committee. Both Mc-
Culloch and Paul O. Ridings, for-
mer TCU publicity director who is
a member of the Kiwanis sports
committee and who is assisting Mc-
Culloch in directing the sportsman-
ship award program, will serve as
ex-officio members of the "judging"
committee.

were in fact war moves and should
have been considered in that light.
"We must," he said, "recognize
what is to be gained by war, and
regulate our moves accordingly,
calling a spade a spade."
Dr. Phillips, history department,
listed five factors which have afr
ways led to war and which are with
us today: militarism; fear arid hat-
red; economic rivalry; religious an-
tagonism; (Dr. Phillips considered
Communism a religion) and dic-
tator-led states. For these reasons
he concluded that war was certain.
Norma Stein, a sophomore, while
generally pessimistic about the fu-
ture, urged those present not t<f'ov-
erlook the success of the UN and
warned that a .feeding of inability or
resignation would be fatal.
Philosphy student Werner Grun-
baum, stoutly opposed the "War is
inevitable" viewpoint. "No war is
inevitable," he declared and urged a
genuine attempt to understand Rus-
sia and Rusisans, a new attempt at
disarmament in all classes of wea-
pons, and all out support of the
UN.
The questions from the audience
lasted nearly 45 minutes. High point
of this part of the program was
student Freddie Hagen's plea for a
total historical view of the world
situation. Mr. Hagen pointed out
that what is worthwhile in every
culture is preserved regardless of
what happens to empires, generals,
and balances of pov^er.
The moderator of the lfbrum was
Dr. Craig of the history department.
