Never before in the history of A.
and M. has a class of “Fish” showed
up so well in athletics. In every
branch of athletics many “fish” have
been out for the teams, and in many
cases they have qualified for the dif
ferent squads. No small mention
should be made of the part the pres
ent lower classmen had in helping
to develop our championship teams.
“Fish” Tom, Henderson, Riley, Hanna,
and Burns should receive honorable
mention for the part they played in
helping to make the 1919 football
squad what it was.
The year has been one of glorious
victories in the athletic world for A.
and M. and the freshmen are proud
of the fact that they have been able
to take part in the winning of these
honors. Especially in baseball, track, j
and tennis have they showed them- '
selves to be dependable men.
With the uncertainties that hang
over a man when he first enters col
lege to fight, we have failed to de
velop many outstanding stars in the
world of sports, but without a doubt
we will have a different tale to tell
when another year shall have rolled
around. The class of ’23 intends to
return to school next fall with a de
termination to make all comers fight
for honors on the different athletic
squads.
The freshmen who have made good
during the present school year are:
Wilson, T. F,, came to us from
Westley College after Christmas and
proved to be one of the most power
ful men on the all-company football
team. Wilson has been “brought up”
right since he came here, and we ex
pect great things from him next year,
both in football and track.
Coffin, J. W., played football at
Austin College for two years, and he
is holding a letter from that school.
He showed up exceptionally well as
a guard throughout the company
football and made the all-company
team. Coffin is expected to do some
thing on the team next year.
Murray, W. B., was on the first
squad and showed up well in the
Southwestern game. He played full
back on the scrubs throughout the
last part of the season. Murray is
good material for the squad and
despite his ability as a “woman
hater” we feel that he is going to take
time next fall to make some man work
hard for a position.
Riley, W., “Todie”, played quarter
on the reserves last fall. He showed
good form and we expect to hear
from him next year.
Scofield, R. M., although he didn’t
work very hard in the fall, he made a
good showing on the all-company foot
ball team. He played with the C-D
company team and won the position
of fullback on the final company con
test. He is a trurty player and great
things are expected next year.
Kimbrough, M. W., played a good
game as tackle on the football re
serves last fall. He will be back next
year for his share of the honors.
Burns, R. F., did well as center on
the reserve football squad last fall.
He is determined to make someone
work when he returns next fall.
Carmichal, J. A., won his place on
the reserves last fall. He will be
with us next year.
McGarity, E., played quarter on
all-company team during the spring.
He has his eye on the squad in the
future.
Adams, N. H., showed up well in
football last fall by winning a place
on the reserves as end. He also
showed up well in all-company foot
ball.
Sanders, S. H., is one of the best
track men in school. He has been
winning consistantly in every track
meet in which the Aggies have enter
ed. We expect to see him sport
ing a “T” when the season is over.
Hailey, L., is one of the best dis
tance men in school. He has taken
first place in both the mile and the
two mile races in several track meets.
More than likely, another “T” man.
Barmore, W. C., is one of our best
field men. He has been winning in
the pole vault and the high jump since
the first dual meet. He has been
making some good records. It is
likely that Coach Clutter will deco
rate him with a “T”.
Harris, R. E., is developing into an
excellent relay man. He has helped
the team to win first place several
times. He is a dependable track
man.
Mitchell, H. C., is a new man in the
field and track work. He is develop
ing into a valuable man.
Davis, T. C., was showing up well
on the track, but has been sick re
cently. He is expected to show up
in good form next season.
Wilder, J. W., is out for track. He
has been showing up well.
Riggs, T. E., has shown up excef}*.
tionally well in the relay and 440 yd.
races. He also showed up well on
the all-company football team by win
ning a place as end. He is a winner
this year. He will be a bigger win
ner next year.
Jones, N. W., played guard on the
scrub basketball team. He is a
steady player, and showed good form.
Olson, “Pat”, is developing into an
excellent pitcher. He is on the reg
ular squad and has pitched several
winning games this season.
Henderson, B., is the best pitcher
on the Aggie baseball squad. He has
pitched good, consistant ball the en
tire season. When others fail Hender
son is sent to the rescue. He will
certainly be a “T” man this season.
Wilson, J. V., is on the regular
squad playing second base in good
style.
Rowland, W. G., is one of our grap-
plers. He is in the 145 pound class.
Buckner, F. K., weight only 150
pounds, but he is showing up well as
a grappler. He won from 158 pound
State University man not so very
long ago. He also showed up well in
football by winning a place as full
back on the reserves.
McLowry, W. R., is showing up very
well as a wrestler and boxer. He
has had considerable experience at
the game, and he will, no doubt, make
a strong man.
Ashwork, D. B., is a good man on
the mat although he weighs only 135
pounds. He has done well this sea
son.
Haney, O. B., is one of the heavy
weights on the mat. He is a good
man and gives a good account of him-
