Gillette pitching beautiful ball for the Longhorns and receiving al- most perfect support from his team- mates shut out the Aggies yesterday the second defeat received at the hands of the Longhorns by the Aggies. Better hitting and faster fielding tells the story of the defeat of the Aggies. The Longhorns hit pinches and took advantage of each by a score of 5 to 0, making in of the three errors made by A. and M. while the Aggies were not able to bunch their hits with men on bas- es. Henderson pitched a beautiful game for the Aggies but his support wabbled in pinches and three of the hits credited to the should have been turned into easy Longhorns These two wins over the Aggies give the Long- horns the edge on the state title. Texas started the scoring of the game in their part of the second when a hit and a couple of bad er- rors by the Aggies let them work one man across the home plate. ~ The Aggies worked three men onto bases in the second but it netted them nothing. Lewis started it again in the third when he hit into center field for one second, but sacrificed, Higginbotham base and later stole Matthews struck out and Guynes flew out to center field retiring them again with- out scoring. Hart opened up the fifth for Texas by a three base hit and came home on Gillette’s single. Gillette soon fol- lowed him across the home plate giv- ing them two more scores. Falk’s three base hit in the eighth brought in another. One three base hit and a single netted them their last score in the ninth making the total of 5. The Aggies felt first and second bases several times but the lack of these chan- ces insignificant.

New Drainage Good drainage is an important factor in crop production in the Gulf Costal Plain. The land is fertile and only good drainage is necessary for the production of large crop yields. This drainage is provided by the opening up of large ditches into which the surplus water flows and is carried into the regular water | courses. By this means it is possi- ble to rid land of excessive water and thus provide ideal condi- tions for plant growth. With the proper drainage facil- ities a large and very productive territory is being developed into a model farming section in the Eastern Gulf Costal Plain. No factor is so important to the farming interests of this section as good drainage and the matter of pro- viding good drainage systems is al- ready in progress in Jefferson, Brazoria and other counties.
