TEXAS AGGIES CLOSE

all the year thru Tom Brailsford,
like Rigney, had a bad ankle, and later
in the season Tom suffered from rheu
matism. That did not keep him from
playing an almost perfect game, how
ever. In the field Thodberg started
well and was a hitting demon. Thod
berg probably could cover more ground
than any man in the outer gardens.
Just before the games with Texas he
broke his ankle. Kendrick, Hooker
and Powers formed an outfield that
was pretty sure to gobble up every
thing that came their way. Hooker
fieled 1000, while Powers only dropped
one, an awful hard one, which really
should have been Hooker’s ball.
A. and M. perhaps excelled as a
fielding club. On the defensive it was
rians fan the breeze. Olson held Dan
iel Baker hitless and L. J. Skeeler let
T. C. U. down on their own lot with
one bingle. W. J. Skeeler pitched
consistent ball.
The figures compiled by the official
scorer, Cadet Johnson, show that A.
and M. was not a heavy-hitting club.
However, the Aggies hit when hits
meant runs. They could be depended
upon to hit in the pinches. Time and
time again Cherry, Rigney, Berringer
and others drove out two and three-
baggers with men on the bases, these
raps deciding the final score of the
contest. Extra-base knocks were fre
quent, too, the Farmers holding the
reputation of being long hitters

BROOKS THERE AGAIN
Two Freshmen Have No Trouble in
Winning Pole Vault—A. & M.
Ranks Third in Final
Count.
In the initial meet of the Southwest
ern Conference, held at Ausin last Fri
day, the Farmer track team won third
place. State Uniersity won the meet
with 48 2-3 points, Oklahoma U. was
second with 43 and A. and M. got
third with 21 points.
Excellent time was made in all the
events, and the State and Southern
records dropped on every side. Jacobs
of Oklahoma was the individual star of
the meet He broke the Southern rec-
or in the" high jump with a leap of 5
feet 9 1-2 inches, won the 220-yard low
hurdles and the broad jump, and got
second place in the 120 hurdles.
Hodges of State broke the half-mile
record, doing the distance in 2 minutes
2-5 seconds. Fields of Oklahoma fur
nished the real sensation of the meet
when he ran the mile in 4 minutes 3-5
seconds, knocking over ten seconds off
of the State record. Berry of State
won the shot put with a heave of 42
feet 5 inches, breaking the State and
Southern records.
The thriller of the meet was the re
lay race. When the teams lined up,
the score was 43 2-3 to 42 in favor of
State. The rooters were begging all
the relay teams to beat Oklahoma. Bill
Collins ran the first lap for A. and M.
and gave the second man a little lead.
looked as if “Bullet” would pass him,
but Scurlock had too much lead.
Nevertheless, “Bullet” finished right
behind Scurlock. Scurlock ran his
quarter in 51 seconds and “Bullet”
gained on him “Bullet” probably
broke the State record in the quarter,
which is 50 4-5 seconds.
Brooks did have much trouble win
ning the pole vault, and Schuhardt was
right behind him all the time. Mitch
ell got a hump on himself and finished
an unusually close second in the 220
dash. Haines took an easy second in
the shot put, and Nick Braumiller won
second place in the discus, with a
heave of 119 feet. Pete Everett came
out third in the high hurdles in a regu
lar blanket finish.
The Southwestern meet will be held
here next year, and it is up to A. and
M. to win the meet. The prospects are
good for a winning team next year.
Captain Everett is the only Senior on
the team. All the rest will be back.
In addition, there will be a number of
first-class high school men here next
year, who ought to show r up well.

STOCK LAW PASSES;
CAMPUS FOLKS GLAD.
Residents of the campus and August
Thomsen, grounds keeper, are joyful
over the recent passage of a law re
quiring all stock in this precinct to be
kept in restraint. The most serious
drawback to the development of tne
“campus beautiful” aside from the lack
of appropriations has been the dam
age wrought by stock turned into the
campus to graze.
Every effort was exerted to keep the
stock driven off the campus, but all of
these failed. Now that stock cannot
be turned loose to browse on the col
lege grounds, it will benvorth the while
of campus people to try and beautify
their premises.
The election was carried overwhelm
