Aggie Swimmers Leave Friday on National Tour
Pro Boxing Is Beginning To Smell;
Louis Will Win Return Match With A KO
Arkansas Sets New
Scoring Record Of
75 Points with SMU
Joe Louis won a split decision
over Arturo Godoy a few nights
ago in a 15-round show, and the
next few minutes found the pro
moters scheduling a return match
for about June.
Godoy might have put up a great
fight, but again Louis might have
carried the South American for
the route to get a big crowd to a
return match.
The million-dollar gates are not
appearing any more and the boys
in New York are not getting the
big easy “sugar” now. They ex
pect that thousands of people
would flock to a fight if they
thought there was a chance of
Louis being beaten, and it looks
like that is just what they have
been building up to.
Coach Asks That All
Refrain from Smoking
During Basketball Games
Boy Scout All-Americans Speak In
Bryan; Kimbrough and Boyd Make Team
John Kimbrough and Joe Boyd,
spoke to the Boy Scouts of Bryan
last week during Boy Scout Week.
John and Joe were both selected
on the first All-Scout All-American
football team.
That calls to mind the facf that
football season has never really
ended at A. & M. this year and
now the boys are out on the prac
tice field doing spring training
work. It seems as if only last
week we were all in New Orleans
for the Sugar Bowl tilt.
This football is getting to be
almost a 12 months’ sport.
Minor Sports Day
Planned To Boost
Student Support
Captains or representatives of
all minor sport teams will meet in
room 110, Academic Building, to
night to discuss the adoption of
a three-day meet for minor sports
to be held during this term.
In the past, the turnout for
most of the minor sports events
has been very unrepresentative of
the school spirit for which A. &
M. is famous. Under the present
system many of the teams travel
far and wide to participate in
games or matches with other teams
in addition to their home schedules.
It is proposed that each team in
vite one opponent to College Sta
tion to complete in Minor Sports
Days. This will provide one game
in each of the twelve minor sports
within a period of three days and
give the cadets an opportunity to
give their teams the support that
they deserve and need.
. “Woody” Bell, brother of Beau
Bell, once with the St. Louis
Browns, figures to be a likely can
didate for the San Antonio out
field, after serving his freshman
year with Springfield, where he
batted .314 and showed plenty of
power.
Woody is a former Aggie great
and was one of the “cream of the
crop” group of St. Louis Browns
whose pictures were carried in the
last Sporting News in connection
with a story telling how the
Browns are trying to build up
from their chains.

Those long tall Razorbacks from
the Ozarks will be here tomorrow
and Saturday nights to battle the
Aggie quintet for middle place
honors.
Arkansas set a new scoring rec
ord last week when they scored
75 points against S.M.U. and that
makes it look black for McQuillan’s
point makers.
Aggies Ailing
Joe Adams, a long gangling lad,
was the highpoint man in the con
ference last season and he is still
looping in counters from all over
the court. He is teamed up with
“Lanky” Frieberger, the six-foot
eight center, who is also a point
maker deluxe.
Marty Karow is still holding an
inside track on getting the head
coaching job at Kansas . . . Botchy
Koch, former All-American guard
at Baylor, has accepted the coach
ing post as line mentor at Tulsa
University, which will play the
Aggies in San Antonio October 5
. . . Moon and Bumpers are both
eligible and that brings a sigh of
relief to Marty Karow. We hope
he can sigh some more in a couple
of weeks.
Nisbet Named Junior
Editor of Mag-azine
Announcement has been made by
the editors of The Battalion that
Bob Nisbet has been named a
junior editor on the staff of The
Battalion Magazine.
During the past semester he
served as a junior editor of the
newspaper and as movie editor
for both the paper and the maga
zine. He will continue to perform
these services as well as fill his
new post on the magazine staff.

Here Monday Night
Aggies Beat Second
Presbyterian Five 40-39
By Last-Minute Effort
A. & M. will not be in the best
of shape for the crucial series.
Captain Woody Varner and “Big
Dog” Dawson are on the ailing list
with injured knees. Bill Hender
son is still suffering from a touch
of flu. J. T. Lang has never been
able to get his ankle in shape since
hurting it early in the season. Jude
Smith is having a fight to over
come a cold.
Both games will start at 7:30
p. m. and interest points to a large
crowd.
Coach Hub McQuillan has issued
a plea for the spectators to please
refrain from smoking during the
games. The lighting is very poor
in the gym and the smoke adds
to the problem besides affecting
the players.
The Aggie basketeers took an
early lead against the Second
Presbyterian team from Houston
Monday night and held it until the
last two minutes when they blew
it, but were able to sink a “prayer”
toss in the last minute to win 40
to 39.
Second Presbyterian had a team
of former college stars and they
made things very interesting to
wards the latter part of the fray.
“Snipper” Norton, the former S. M.
U. point maker, was held to two
points, but Willis Orr, formerly
with Rice, took high point honors
with 13 points.
Dawson led the scoring parade
for the Aggies, registering five
field goals and two free throws.
