cently announced the acceptance of
a position as head coach and ath-
letic director of the Cuero High
School. 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.

All-Conference guard on the cham- | chase. In Jake Mooty, sophomore
pionship Aggie team of 1927. He

‘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.

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.

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.

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.
