dthurch rictus
For the Kats, it was the first
time some of them had played on
grass greens in a long time; and
with this handicap and a new course
facing them, it was good golf that
kept them in the running as long
as they did.
The results were as follows: J.
Ross Martin, although tying for
the best medal of the day with a
38-39, 77 total, lost to Dolly Wal-
ker by the score of 2 up. Carl
Maples, No. 2 of the Kats shot an
83 medal and was also downed on
the 17th hole by a 2 up score.
Rishard Riley and “Bulldog"
Stanton, Nos. 3 and 4 for the Kats,
staged two up bill battles, but all
in vain. At the end of the first
nine Dotty Shaver of San Marcos
was leading Riley 3 up and 9 to
Hailing form Center, this likable
lad came to Sam Houston with the
record of a two-year football career
in high school.
Donece is an industrial arts ma-
jor and is seriously preparing him-
self for the task of teaching the
coming generation the intricacies
of shop work, and coming grid-
sters the fundamentals of the game
of football.
As a member of the T club at
Sam Houston, he was elected ser-
geant-at-arms at the last meeting
of that organization. Ramsey’s hob-
by, strangely enough, seems to
border on the old idea of the post-
man taking a walk on his holiday,
for Donece likes to work in the
shop, making various articles of

Honors in ’Mura Baseball

ahead of Stanton 6 up and 9 to play.
On the second nine, however, Riley
staged a nice battle before being
closed out by the score of 2 up.
Stanton, on the other hand, sur-
prised his man with a flurry of
pars and boggies which erased the
6 down deficit and left his match
all square at the end of the regula-
tion 19 hole match. On the extra
hole a three putt green defeated
Bulldog. Both doubles were won by
San Marcos by identical scores
of 2 up.
Martin and MapleB are two
steady golfers who will deal misery
to any combination of the confer-
ence once they can get the feel of -
the grass greens. Riley and "Bull-
dog”, both not knowing what the SpGilkGr-
words “give up” means, are capable

Despite his popularity on the
campus, he says that he does not
have much time for women. It
seems that they do not fit in with
his work, hobbies, and recreation.
We cannot say that he is woman-
proof, but he does present a prob-
lem that will interest some girl in
solving.
He will be missed next year
on the football field and the cam-
pus. Donece gets his degree this
summer, a B. S. in industrial arts.
The college wishes you luck,
Donece, and offers you heartiest
congratulations.
Jimmie Hair’s Graduation
Will End Seven Years
Of Football Playing
Jimmy Hair, senior ace quarter-
back on the Bearkat football team
last season, came to Sam Houston
from Gatesville, Texas, by the way
of Independence junior college,
Independence, Kansas.
Jimmy, even though he is small
in stature, has played football for
many seasons. To be exact—three
in high school, one in junior college,
and three here at Sam Houston,
where he received honorable men-
tion for “Little All America”, in
1938. However, football is not the
only interest of Jimmie’s, as he has
played tennis for three years also.
The only interest of importance
that Jimmy has today is to fly an
airplane. He is now taking Civilian
For the past two weeks, the
intramural softball season has been
in its preparatory stages. Several
teams have been ironing out
“kinks” in their arms which have
gathered there since last summer.
Now, thoroughly conditioned, the
boys are in the early stages of
the softball season which started
the middle of this week.
About six teams are scheduled
to be in the league when the
season is completed. At the pres-
ent time five are listed; these are
Weems, Law, Lyles, Daniels,, and
Williamson.
Gathering from early workouts
it seems that the favorites, or
co-favorites, are the teams cap-
tained by “Red” Law and Cecil
Lyles.

hitters are three of the best pitch-

steady ability.
Where Law's team boasts pow-

rely on Shannon Covington to
handle the pitching duties.
The tournament should not be
a runaway as most people believe,
for the other three teams have
stars of their own who are worthy
of pulling surprise victories.
