Unbiased Story Of Stunning
Brand Boys9 Form Reversal
By The Great Mach
In n torrid session that launched
the intramural softball race charges
of collusion were thrown nt Umpire
Otho Polk as the physical eds "de-
prived" the Brand Beauties of victory
8 to 3. Enjoying top form since they
started limbering-up two weeks ago
Polk's buddy-boys had to extend them-
selves even then to out-point the hus-
tling Brand nine.
It was a bitter defeat for tho
Beauts champions in nll-intramural
sports at H.-S. for tho last two years
and undefeated pace-setters in the in-
tramural grid conference. Southpaw
Russell pitched a dazzling garnc for
the journalists. He gave 12 hits and
two walks to the Phisiques but got
poor suports from his inexperienced'
fielders. Calloway allowed the Brand-
men 11 hits but hard luck and scat-
tering kept the total runs down to
three.
Littlepage and Routh batted 1000
in three times up for their respective
clubs.

THE BRANDING IRON
(Continued from page 1)
after Evans did it Tom was forced
to go ahead or "the wolves would get
him" using the words of Evans.
The good times once enjoyed by Ar-
ncttc and Sorrels by not living in the
hall are ended once and for all. Their
father is now riding backward and
forward with them from Anson.
Kay has not managed to let her
hair grow out yet but is trying val
iantly.
The Alpha Pal Omega picnic held
in the CCC park because there is no
water there was a howling success
if reports mean anything. The sub-
ject both then and now was what
became of Mr. and Mrs. Goo.
Some of you monkeys who think
dishing up choice scandal for the
masses to gloat over is an easy task
just try it sometime. What with the
yelping of insignificant stooges on
ono side the rumbling of an already
aroused administration on the other
and tho threatening of u dozen public-
ity seekers in general it is coming
fast to the point where about all that
can bo printed is what didn't happen.
And speaking of printing this is
forsooth the next to last issue with
which you will bo pestered under the
present regime. Striving always to
keep this column on a plane nbovc
reproach from anyone wo know that
our failure has been a dismal one
People refuse to consider the fact thai
it is in sincerest fun and perhaps they
cannot bo blamed but still we labor
under the illusion that folks like to
read the names of their friends i-print.
Don't let this fool you. There will
be no tears next week far from it
there will be great rejoicing for in
the last issue we hope to make every-
one feel good whether they want to
or not. ..You can co-operate by being
ready for it. ..We'll see ya.
From the Daily Trojan:
You can always tell a senior
By his strut about tho town.
You can always tell a junior
By his foolish looking frown.
You can alwoys tell a sophomore
By his color hair and such.
You can always toll a freshman
But you cannot tell him much.

A man wearing black glasses a
ragged hole in the sleeve of his over
coat and soup stains came up to your
correspondent yesterday and said
"Don't feel discouraged kecd. The
Brand Beauts have what it takes.
They'll climb the hill in spite of pur-
gatory and Otho Polk." And before
we could ask how or why our well-
meaning friend was gone.
And so today theso (your corres-
pondent's would-be questions) arc
still wanting an answer. Tho always
heretofore champion Beauts have
given up hope of winning another ball
game as long as Othoanial Polk is
umpire. Tho only thing they are
waiting for so 'tis rumored is n dark
night and a deep ditch.
Hardin-Simmons' various and sun-
dry mormon meet independent teams
unofficially representing McMurry
and A. C. C. at tho American Legion
pool Tuesday afternoon in a water
polo tournament. Last year tho lo-
cals splashed and fluttered their way
to decisive victory and should repeat
ngaln.
Exact personnel of the Cowhand
six cannot be named for certain. Ad-
dington Reeves Crowcll Boutwcll
Shults and Garner arc probable start-
ers and some of them saw service last
year.
Water polo (from an article
by James W. Poling) is tho rough-
est toughest sport. Here's how
it's done:
"The two teams of six men
each stand at their respective
ends of the tank; two forwards
two backs a center nnd a goal-
keeper. When the ball is thrown
by tho rcfereo into tho center of
the pool tho players dive in and
strike out for tho ball. The ob-
ject of the game is simple. Each
team by smart and scientific
passing or by sheer brute
strength endeavors to touch or
throw the ball against the oppon-
ents' goal board. A touch goal
equals 3 points n thrown goal 2

First week of play in the Intra-
mural softball tournament found the
Phys-Eds out in front with two wins
and no losses.
With interest steadily picking up
as play continues the race this year
promises to evolve into a rough and
rugged scramble for the coveted
crown and it is still anybody's cham-
pionship since each team still has a
shot at all the rest.
Tho dark horse preachers are strug-
gling nlong nt the bottom of tho heap
but carry enough power in a pack of
heavy hitters to deal some team plen-
ty of misery beforo tho tourney Is
ended. They smnshed homo seven
runs in the last inning of their game
with the Physical Culturlsts to knot
the count at 18 all but the muscle
men were able to eke out a 19-18 vic-
tory. Tho Brand Beauties highly touted
any-sport champions aro In second
place winding the clock for a whirl-
wind finish. Dropping- their first
game to the Phys-Eds after getting
away to a flying start the Beauties
came back strong Thursday to lam-
bast the Ministers 15-8 in a game
that featured loose pitching by both
clubs.
Play will continue throughout next
week with the Beauties tangling with
the Physicis Monday afternoon at
3:30.
