He will assume his new du- ties this fall. For the past four years he has coached the Aggie line under Matty Bell, losing out this year under the economy re- organization of the department. As a student at A. & M. he was an | All-Conference guard on the cham- | chase. In Jake Mooty, sophomore pionship Aggie team of 1927. He coached in the Rio Grande Valley before coming to A. & M. Mr. and Mrs. Holmes will move to Cuero this summer. 0 ‘The baseball team will lose sev- eral regulars through graduation, but should return enough men to have a good team next spring. The team this year might have gone further had the schedule carried more than ten games. The series of four games was split with Tex- as, but losing a pair to T. C. U. and losing one to Baylor eliminat- ed the Farmers from the title pitcher, the Aggies look to have a fine hurler and several other soph- omores played fine ball their first season. 0 Aggie athletes in each major sport have been among the best in the conference. Ted Spencer, Char- ley Cummings, Willis Nolan in football, Joe Moody and Merka in basketball, Irwin in track, and Mooty, Sodd, Mitchell and Connel- ley in baseball have been top- notchers. All but Nolan, Moody and Mitchell will be back. 0 The past year has only been a mediocre one for Aggie teams, but an improvement over more recent years, at that. The football team was a disappointment, but with a returning team of veterans 1934 prospects are brighter than any of the past several years. Track pros- pects are very bright for 1934, and baseball will do as well or better another year. Basketball looks like an open fight next winter but the Aggies should be about as well equipped as the others. H. H. Benson, ’10, is in the cattle business at Olney, Texas. He was formerly in the livestock commis- sion business at Ft. Worth. 1913 Class Looks Happy At Reunion 1st Row: Left to Right—L. D. Royer, San Antonio; J. W.

" Sacrifices, A. & M. TRACK TEAM DIAMOND TITLE 10 FROGS WHEN DISCHMEN FALL Aggies Stage One Inning Spree To Beat Texas In Final Game—Mooty Hurls Well. Although eliminated from the Conference race themselves, the Aggie baseball team dictated this year’s conference champs when they trounced the Texas Long- horns in the final game of the sea- son to give the T. C. U. Horned Frogs their first baseball cham- pionship. The Dischmen came to College faced with the necessity of winning both of a pair of games J to retain their title. They took the first by the narrow margin of 10 to 9, but lost the second 7 to 3. The Longhorns and the Aggies will re- new their feud with a pair of games this week at the Brenham Maifest. To date this season they have evenly split four games. The Horned Frogs won the title in the second game when a bar- rage of Aggie hits in the fourth inning pounded in a total of six tallies. In this inning with one down Mooty singled, took second on a balk and scored on Hutto’s single. Garvey grounded out and then the real fireworks opened. Lowenstein singled, Mitchell dou- bled, Weaver singled and Sodd and Cochran doubled. Six runs were scored when the smoke cleared away. Jake Mooty, Aggie sophomore, scored his second victory of the season over the Longhorns. The little Aggie hurler was shaky in the early innings but got better and better and held the Steers helpless in the last five innings. Price, Texas hurler, pitched good ball with the exception of his one bad inning. The victory gave the Aggies third place in the conference stand- ing.

WINS SECOND PLAGE IN GONFERENCE MEET AS [RWIN BREAKS SHOT-PUT RECORD Frank Anderson’s Aggie Track Team took second place in the an- nual Conference Meet held last Saturday at the University of Texas, by winning two first places, tieing for another and picking up many points on seconds and thirds. “Honk” Irwin, big Farmer weight man, smashed the conference rec- ord in the shot put with a heave of 49 feet seven and three-fourths inches. Skripka pulled an upset to wik che javelin event for the ca- dets and Jack Hester tied for first in the pole vault. Weakness in the sprints, where they failed to win a point, prevented the Farmers from having a show at the title. Rice Institute, doped to make the meet a close one with the Steers, was outclassed by both Steers and Aggies when two of their star men failed to come through because of injuries. Two records were broken, Irwin setting a new mark in the shot put and Petty of Rice breaking Leo Bald- win’s old record in the discus. The scores were, Texas 57 1-3 points, A. & M. 49 5-6, Rice 37 5-6, T.C.U. 14, S.M.U. 9, Baylor 7, Arkansas 2. It was the second consecutive title for Texas. One of the spectacular events of the day was the mile relay, where Aiken, Aggie anchor man, came within inches of closing the gap between himself and the final Tex- as runner. Casper, star T.C.U. hurdler, hurt the Aggies cause when he took first in both hurdle races, with the Aggies winning second and third in both these events. Meyer, Texas sprinter, was high point man with 12% points. The Longhorns won with a well- balanced team particularly strong on the track.
