. THE TTALION SPORTS— (Continued from Page 4) record that can be approached . bjr only a very few coaches in the entire United States. Some of the accomplishments of Ufa coach are: (a) His teams were undefeated for three yean. In the fourth year he lost only one game and that by only one point on the grounds of the A and M College. (b) During his last twenty-one games, his teams were undefeat ed. Fourteen of these games in succession his teams were unscor ed on. - (c) During this period, accord ing to the Associated Press, he developed twelve playen who re ceived All-American recognition. This was more than twice as many as all the coaches in the South west Conference combined de veloped during this period. (d) His leadership and clpurac- ter is such that when he left Cen tenary, the following was said of him by Reverend Sexton, former President of Centenary, and now presiding elder of the college: “From the standpoint of « pres ident, and one interested in char- ' acter building, education, and the creating of a good Athletic De partment, Coach Norton was as nearly perfect as one could be ex pected to be. He worked id perfect harmony with the ideals of the college. He was athletically clean. He took great interest in the mem bers of the various teams, espec ially in their college work. I be lieve that he was just as anxious to build real character in the boys under him as he was to turn out winning teams. I have said many a time that if I had a son of school age, I could not desire anything better than to have my boy under Norton, interested in athletics for a pen «d of four years. “I do not believe that there is a better coach in the South, and very few if any in the entire athletic field. The reason I believe that, is the success he attained with the material he had. Many of the best athletes, those that made southern and national ratings, were boys that knew nothing about football when Norton got- hold of them. If I were the presi dent of a college or chairman of an Athletic Council, I do not know of any man anywhere that I would take in the place of Coach Nor ton.” OTHER COACHES Next on the Aggie All-Ameri can coaching staff comes Cal Hub bard, All-American college tackle, All-American professional tackle on the New York Giants and the Green Bay Packers for eight straight years closing with last season, and umpire in the Inter national Baseball League. Having just finished actual playing of football in the leagues where real, smart and hard football is played, and where be has been termed by Grantland Rice as the greatest tackle ever having played, Hub bard is anxious to use the know ledge he has attained on the grid iron to train ambitious young men who have hopes of going places in football. Other coaches on the staff are: Frank Anderson, track coach: MISS IG TROPHY It BY POOR POINTS — Make Clean Sweep in Eifkth Corps Ares by Leading In National Only four points kept the A and M rifle team from winning a tro phy in the Hep rat match, according to Lieut. J. E. Rierson, coach of the Aggie marksmen. The Univer sity of Washington won first place this year. However, the Aggies made a clean sweep in the Eighth < orp* Area this year by arinning the Corps.Are* match and by cap turing the honors in the National Intercollegiate. Though the final results for the United States in the National have not been an nounced, A and M lead its nearest rival in the Eighth Corps Area, Oklahoma A and M, by 168 points. These victories round out a highly successful season for the local team, aa it also won over eighty-five per cent of the Inter collegiate matches held earlier in the season. Indications point to an even better chance for next year, as Captain C. A. Toach, Mesquite, is the only 'Jetterman that will be lost, though several fourth-year men will not be eligible for all the matches. .The team will have its annual banquet — night, at which all the lettermen and army officers of the college will be guestn^ Sweaters will be presented as s^on as they arrive, probably nd week in May. Cavalrymen Swamp Artillery In Polo Sunday Eve. Great Interest Shown As Rough Riding and Spills Frequent In New Aggie Sport. Major John P. Wheeler’s Cav alry Polo Team ran rough shod over Lieutenant J. V. Carroll’s Artillery Team Sunday afternoon, 10-1, in a fast, rough polo game. The game was filled with many thrills and a few spills as the “Wagon-soldiers” tried vainly to revenge the 6-0 “nosing out” that the Cavalrymen gave them last week. 0. A. Seward, who made the lone Artillery score, was the first to take a spill during the game when he made a mighty swoop at the ball and toppled off his horse when he missed. He landed well on his feet, however, and was not hurt. The Cavalry was not long in starting their scoring spree. When hardly more than three minutes had elapsed. J. E. Miller made a hard drive that placed the ball in I scoring position in front of the Artillery's goal and Goorgs tTooky) Dunn then followed up iWcely to make the first goal. After this, the Cavalry scattered their scoring well out jamong all the players with Dunn being high scoring man with four tallies to his credit. The lone Artillery *0*1 came in the third chukker Af-er the Artil lery had driven the ball to the goal line, the “W**on Soldiers” and Horsemen made a mad scram ble for the pellet but Seward fin ally drove the ball through the posts for the point. No polo dame will be held for the next two Sundays because of the proximity of the Federal in spection and because of the pre paration for the annual horse show to be held May IS.
