THE BATTALION
15
presented with a silver loving cup.
The cup is now at College Station.
Viewed from one direction, it was
easily won as only one game was
played, but when the fact is consider
ed that our Farmers just about ran
themselves to death during that soli
tary game it sounds different. Okia-
homa A. and M. and Oklahoma U.
combined forces and attempted to
give us a bit of competition. The
I’esult was: Texas A. and M. 47, Ok
lahoma 1. Crawford, Captain-Elect
of our 1922 team was Big Chief,
Catcher and long distance slugger
“Pat” Olsen, Aggie hurler, was there
but he had to write about nine let-
ers to C. I. A. and Boriskie pitched
a clever brand of baseball. Real
played first base, Pinson second base,
Camp third base, Willis, short,
Jinks, left field; Wendt, cen
ter field and Carruthers right field.
That was the last game the Farmers
could get. We were required to put
two teams of about equal strength
for the field meet and these were
so far ahead of the others when a
shower called a halt that the meet
was never finished. This kind of su
periority caused mountain trips to be
more interesting, to representatives
of other schools especially, and thus
athletics soon moved to the rear of
the recreation line.
. . Artillery in Front.
With Maj. Dougherty leading the
Field Artillery students against all
the Artillery units in the United
States, College Station, as well as
Texas, was again put cn the athletic
map in big red letters. Although
Smith was the only baseball letter-
man present he captained a bunch of
Farmers that won all six games of
base ball and also a silver loving cup.
The deciding ganfc was with the
Yale Unit. Yale was using a Varsity
pitcher who get some pretty rough
treatment before the game ended as
shown by the score which was A. &
M. 20, Yale 3. “Wrong-hander”
Kieth was the successful twirler and '
although Pat Dwyer was not there to 1
do the “Babe Ruth”, Jones ably fill
ed his shoes when he made two four
baggers off the Yale star in one
game.
The field meet consisted of many
stars from all over the country but
Dieterich, of football and javelin
fame, placed third against this vast
field* He won points in the javelin,
shot, and discus. He tossed the jave
lin about thirty feet farther than his
nearest opponent.
That the “Farmers” went there
with a punch is shown by the fact
that two of them were artillery cham
pions in their classes, and “Spec”
Hanley won over all opposition for
the camp championship in the 145
class. Martin, 115 pounds, and Diet
erich, 175 pounds were winners in
the field of red hat cords.
Cavalry Spurs Hard.
The booted and spurred Aggies
who went to California were out
numbered by a great number of in
stitutions, but were certainly there
with the goods athletically.. There
was not a great amount of athletics,
but our boys rode in ahead in about
everything they entered.
One game was played between
Texas A. and M. and Oregon which
was apparently a hard fought game
from the looks of the score which
was A. and M. 9; Oregon 0. Fox and
Ballai’d were the two chief draw
backs as Fox, pitching, could not hit
the Oregon bat sand. Ballard, play
ing first, got contrary and refused to
miss “ary one.” A picked team of the
camp containing seven Aggies play
ed an R. O. T. C. Motor Transport
Team from San Francisco. This time
the score was 5 to 4 in our favor.
A track meet and horse show was
held in which A. and M. again tri
umphed. Quarterhorse “Hoots” look
ed like Pollard in the 440 and fin
ished an easy first. “Tweed” Palmer
was a revelation in the' mile run. He
held a hundred-yard-dash stride
throughout the four laps. He and the
second man crossed the line at the
same time but “Tweed” was a whole
lap ahead. Furneaux looked the
Major of the Light Brigade as he
won those horse races, potato races,
etc. Sprague won first place in the
hundred and two-twenty, and Dwyer
took the half-mile. Final scores were:
Texas 59 2-3, Oregon 39, Arizona
20 1-3, and New Mexico 8.
Signal Corps Too.
The Mitchell Hall lads are very
modest and do not say much. How
ever the information has filtered
through to the effect that “Noo
Yawk” was too close for much ath
letics. Just the same they have an
“A” on their card in the column
marked athletics. Matthes, collegiate
mat champion of Texas in the 135
pound class was patted on the back
by the referee against all his oppo
nents. The Maroon and White tied
Georgia Tech in the Company base
ball schedule, but the tie was never -
played off.
Only one man was in Fort Sill
from the poultry farm and he could
not be expected to do much in ath
letics but old Gardner knocked ’em
for a row of beaver boarded spring
boards in military and was high man
in camp.
The best summary that we can
make right now is that the past sum
mer was a howling success f*^ - the
Maroon and White from California
to New Jersey, as well as fram Chi
cago to Tampico.
D. D. (Danny) Clinton, ’21, stopped
! over at College Monday enroute to
Hearne. “Danny” has been chasing
the elusive pink boll worm all sum
mer. His travels have taken him over
a large part of Texas and Louisiana.
We were glad to greet him once more
and pass the wish that he may keep
near us.
There was a young lady named Anna
Who wore her hose in a ridiculous
manner.
As she passed along the way.
The men would all say,
Hosana! Hosana! Hosana!
