Miss Violet Falk, the popular
American contralto, is appearing with

GENE COCREHAM
T0 COACH AGGIES
Baseball Schedule for the Coming Sea-
son is Announced by James
Sullivan.
With 1921 football history made,
the basket ball season triumphantly
started and progressing in a manner
satisfactory to the athletic manage-
ment, attention is now being turned
to baseball at the College and the first
steps taken toward fitting the Col-
lege for competition in the 1922 col-
lege baseball race are encouraging
conclusions that the sports officials
intend that the Aggies shall continue
the improvement that they have shown
on the diamond for the last few years.
A very encouraging prospect for
baseball at A. and M. is the employ-
ment of Eugene Cocreham of Lock-
hart by Head Coach D. X. Bible as
his assistant to be in direct charge
of all baseball training at the Col-
lege this spring. A signed contract
was received the last week by James
Sullivan, business manager of ath-
letics, from Cocreham.
Cocreham will report at Collejre
Station on February 1 and will re-
main until June 1.
For the last two years Bible has
been employing Paul Sentell to as-
sist him in early baseball work, but
Sentell has never remained through-
out the season. The services of the
same coach throughout the training
and playing season will be a great
advantage to the Aggies and one
that they have never really had be-
{ fore.
Cocreham’s Record.
Cocreham is one of the best all-
round baseball men in the South. As
a player he worked with the San
Antonio Texas League and the Bos-
League for several
years. Although a pitcher, he played
every other position on the
team. One of his best recommenda-
tions as a coach of college men
comes from his success in coaching
* | the Lockhart team, which has won
the semi-pro championship of South-
west Texas for the last two years.
Cocreham is at present the proper-
ty of the Houston club of the Texas
