—FOOTBALL—(Continued From Page 3)
Coach Adamson, who was very much interested in Green even before the tanker had beaten his
squardmen to back them up, this slot is plenty deep with good men.
The guards too are in good shape with Weldon Maples and Ray Mul- hollan probable starters backed up by Felix Bucek and Wayne Cure, all of these men having plenty of experience under fire. At center is all-conference Bill Sibley, and backing him up are lettermen “Slats” Holder and Arthur Mercer.
In the backfield Norton has a wealth of material with Leo Daniels Jake Webster, Willie Zapalac, and Cullen Rogers probably receiving the starting assignments. “Bounding” Bobby Williams is slated to see plenty of service, however, and Ed Sturcken is also being counted on heavily.
In addition to the men already named, there are numerous sophomores who have come up from last year’s powerful freshman outfit, and who will be in there hustling all the way.
If the tackle problem can be worked out, the 1942 edition of the Aggies will be capable of dealing out plenty of misery to its opponents, but with the toughest schedule of any team in the southwest on/tap, and with woefully short time to practice, on account of the speedup plan, the road ahead looks plenty long and plenty rough.

events—his specialties—all over the state that even today he’s regarded as the Southwestern AAU outdoor and indoor champion of those particular events. Today he still holds the Southwestern outdoor records in both the 220 and 440 yard free styles.
Defeats Bob Taylor However, his biggest thrill came
when he defeated A. & M.’s Bobby Taylor, then Art Adamson’s ace free stylist. Danny came down to the P. L. Downs, Jr. Natatorium in 1941 and gave Taylor a good thrashing in the 220 and 440 yard free style events, something that Taylor excelled in before he bumped against the Dallas ace.
star, finally convinced Danny of the possibilities at A. & M. and that’s where the former Adamson High School swimmer went following a great season with the Athletic Club.
Still Breaking RecordsSince he has been here this
summer, Green hasn’t been stopped in his record-breaking zeal. He found the competition none too hard at the recent Southwest AAU indoor meet at Dallas, although he wasn’t out to- set any records, but primarily swam for the purpose of gathering team points. And points he did gather, enough to be high point man of the meet and lead the Ags to another victory.
At New Orleans, however, Danny swam for the records and today the books have a new mark for the 440-yard free style event as far as the Southwestern AAU meet at New Orleans is concerned.
Has Been Beaten BeforeHm! All that looks good enough,
but hasn’t this little speedster been beaten? Oh, sure he has and more than once, but you can be sure that he wasn’t far behind. For instance when he trekked to New London, Connecticut, for the recent National AAU swimming meet he came in third in the half mile but the winner in that event had to break a world’s record to beat Green. Only this past Sunday he bowed to Joe Demmer of Tyler in the 220, but then the latter set a new Gulf Coast AAU record.
And his first journey to the Nationals last year? There he came in third in the 1500 meters race but again a world’s record was set by the "winner.
But aside swimming. Danny has aspirations to become a physical education instructor in the Navy after this world conflict is over with. He is majoring in industrial education, hoping to graduate within two years and eight months as prescribed by the new speed-up program at Aggieland.
Top HandYes sir, fans, there’s a top hand
at this swimming art at Aggieland. There’ve been many swimmers at A. & M. that ranked rath-

Scrap Collecting Campaigns Starts Friday Morning
The first collection of all available scrap metal will take place Friday, September 4 under the direction of the newly appointed Salvage Committee set up by President T. O. Walton, E. N. Holm- green, business manager of the college, announced yesterday. The committee will immediately start a salvage campaign designed to collect every available ounce of scrap material in this and surrounding counties.
Composing the committee in charge of the program to collect the metal is Dean F. C. Bolton, Colonel M. D. Welty, and E. N. Holmgreen, President T. O. Walton stated.
The present need for scrap metal is very urgent, the committee said, and all department heads will be expected to survey all probable sources of metal in the premises under their control, and turn in scrap metal found in their respective departments. There should be a real, immediate need for any scrap metal retained, Holmgreen said.
The “Scrap Pile” will be started in the area just north of the Petroleum Building and between the “Bull Ring” and the Petroleum Engineering Field Laboratory’s fence.
Trucks from the military department will gather the scrap metal from the residents on the campus beginning at 8 o’clock Friday morning. Scrap should be placed on the curb before 8 on the day it is to be picked up on the first round. Departments with no means of transportation should deposit their scrap on the curb in front of the building and notify the Commandant’s office before 10 o’clock Friday, September 4.
Collection of the scrap metal from residents and business establishments off the campus will begin, at 10 a. m. Friday, September 4. The commandant’s office should be notified by 10 a. m. on that day as to where to pick up metal from these possible sources. The committees will announce later other days for collecting scrap metal if necessary.
Contributions from the college have already reached . 110,000 pounds of scrap metal. This scrap included aluminum, tin, brass, steel and cast iron. Suggestions from the residents and department members should be made to the Commandant’s office.
String Band in Need Of Name After Giving Several Performances
Lately the clubs on this campus have been entertained by a group of boys who have gotten together and organized a string band composed of banjos, fiddles, guitars and a flute.
Otheil “Swede” Erlund is the leader and Fish Billy F. Ross of “G” Company Infantry is the official crooner of the group. Fish Ross has quite a ^election of back woods low-down tear-drawing blues songs mingled here and there with something more spicy.
This unnamed band is open to suggestions from the corps for an appropriate name for their band. Tomorrow night they will play for the Spanish Club at 7 o’clock in room 124 of the Academic Building. This band made its official debut at Inter-Collegiate F.F.A. which led to the formal appearance at Kadet Kapers during the first part of this semester. Public ap- perances made since by this unnamed band are: The Saddle and Sirloin club, the Faculty Dance at Bryan, the Agronomy Society hay ride, the Intramural managers party, the Fish and Game Club, and the F Company water melon and . . . party!

that everything should be done to get the softball out of the way. Last night, the playing fields were in no condition to be played but' nevertheless only intramural softball games were postponed, and the Twilight League is not a part of the ’Mural Department.
That was the situation last night when the big argument between Manager^ Roland Bing of Loupot’s and Kyle Drake and his cohort George (Soup) Ogdee crowded most of the hour in the middle of the drill field. Bing’s Loupot team showed up on the precise starting time, while the Pharmacy, thinking that the game was to be postponed, did not show up.
Today, the managers will have a question before them: Should Loupot play the game with Lipscomb after showing up under stressed circumstances or should Lipscomb be allowed a fair chance to put a fight and have a chance to go into the finals with the Campus Cleaners.
At any rate^a game will be played tomorrow evening at 7. At present, nothing can be known who will play but it’s a cinch that the Loupot Traders will be one of the teams.
Just to say a bit about this Twilight League. It all started out so rosy but it certainly didn’t end that way. Protests have been frequent and a few players on certain teams didn’t play the game just for the fun of it—they played to argue and bicker with every play. And all that will find this Twilight League in a ticklish position when next summer rolls around.

Bill (Dog) Dawson, only a sub end while at Texas A. & M. but a starter Sunday, showered himself with glory playing the wing post for the Army. . . He kicked the extra point (something that he found hard to do while here) and was rightfully credited with a number of tackles, one of which threw his former teammate, Dick Todd, for a seven yard loss. . . Add to those feats a twenty-yard pass catch and you can readily see that the tree-top ex-Aggie stood out among the more prominent Army stars. . .
