About The Texas Aggie. (College Station, Tex.) 1921-current | View Entire Issue (April 1, 1946)
LLIDRART CAMPUS FROM THE REVIEWING STAND The Sports Parade Frank Anderson’s well-balanced Aggie track and field team opened its conference season by swamping Rice and Baylor in triangular meet at Kyle Field. The Cadets previous- ly had not looked impressive at the Laredo Border Olympics and the Ft. Worth Fat Stock Show Meet. Johnnie Ziegler in the mile and two mile events, Harnden in the quarter and Haws in the high jump, turned in the Aggies’ best performances. First places were also won for the Aggies by Leo- nard Dickey in the discus, Young in the shot put, Feagan in the Jave- lin and Hill in the broad jump. The Aggies also won both the 440 and the mile relays. Texas is due to repeat as conference champion. There’ll be few dull moments in baseball with Lil Dimmitt and Botchey Koch handling the dia- mondeers At this writing the Ca- dets are undefeated, tho opposition has been woefully weak, The club looks like a lusty hitting crew with only fair fielding and pitching strength. Earl Beesley, Dallas, re- turned service man looks like the best tosser. With all conference schools except Arkansas fielding baseball teams this spring the race will be wide open, with the exception of those perennial champs of the diamond, the Longhorns. Bobby Layne can pitch a baseball as well as a football and already has a no-hit game to his credit. The other entries are a toss-up so far with Baylor a good dark horse. SPLASH—TEXAS U, REGAIN- ED CONFERENCE SWIMMING TITLE FROM AGGIES Spring football closed with the following first string line-up; backs, Willie Zapalac, Bob Goode, Babe Hallmark, fish Pressly, Pres- ton Smith, Earl Beesley and one or two others running evenly; ends, Cotton Howell and Country Hig- gins; tackles, Moncrief and Dickey; guards, Winkler and Stautzenberg- er (watch that lad); center Hub Ellis and Bill Yoeman.—Returning service men could make lots of changes next fall and Barney Welch is almost'a cinch somewhere in that backfield. Mr. Whiskers in the form of the draft could make the biggest change, with an even 20 of the first 40 members of the spring squad subject to call. Among them are Bob Goode, Winkler, Higgins, Yoeman, who will hit 18, with numerous others, Campus Reporter’s Notebook ATTENTION!

Brown, ’29, formerly of Galveston, Texas, we feel that you or some broth- er Aggie can help us. Major Brown survived one of the De- cember, 1944 ship sinkings, was recaptured and taken to Fukuo- ka Prison Camp on the Island of Kyushu, where he reportedly died. If you have any knowl- edge of his experiences while imprisoned either at Cabanatu- uan or Fukuoka, kindly commu- nicate with his sister, Mrs. C. C. Edge, 1006 S. College Ave. Bryan, Texas, or ’phone her at 2-1281 if you attend the grand April 21 Homecoming this year. Correction for Credit The interesting article and pic- ture in the preceding issue of the TEXAS AGGIE telling about Dean of Men, J. W. Rollins, his staff and program, was a reprint of a special story written in The Houston Post by that well known East Texas sage and writer, Morris Frank. The proper by-lines and credit for the story should have accompanied the article, Thanks are belatedly expressed to the diffident Morris and to the Post.
