The Aggies were all dolled up in their new unies and believe me they sure gave them a good baptism—let’s let the good work go on. Did you rec ognize all of them, it was a hard job to tell some of them after seeing them dressed in their old uniforms for such a long time. The Athletic Department is to be congratulated on the pattern and design they chose, for it is one of the neatest appearing suits that has graced Kyle Field in many a day. * * * ❖ Coach Bible played the role of Umps and he did it up brownskin. Silk-O Loughlin in his prime did not have a thing on him and it is doubtful if he could droll out his trike “tuh” any better than Bible did. * * * Peter Wilson, better known as Wax- ahachie, was a milion dollar kid around the keystone sack in the in itial fracus. He fielded and hit a thousand, and that is not a record that is made every day. The only thing he did not do was make an error. The box score shows him as being up twice and making two hits but that was not all he did. He got a base on balls, was hit by the pitcher and made a perfect sacrifice hit. He was kinda in the coke once though, and got caught off first on a fly ball, other wise he had a perfect day. Look out for this youngster if he keeps up such a terriffic pace is all we can say. * * * Henderson pitched a fine game and from Simmons’ viewpoint, was unhit- able as he gave up only one hit and that was to Collins, and he struck out 11 men in all. His one great weak ness in the first game was that he put too many in the groove and did not work the comers enough. Whether it was out of brotherly love or just a mere coincidence, it is a fact that the two Randel brothers struck out in the sixth one right after the other. The old pill was mauled all over the lot but it was up to Henderson, Craw ford and Dwyer to drive it the fur- therest and each one of them regis tered a three base hit. Morris played his first game at short and did it up nicely. He made one fumble on a hard hit ball, but that was his only bobble and he had many hard chances during the game. He hit hard and safely to the extent of three base hits. AGGIES WIN SECOND VICTORY FROM SIMMONS Team as a Whole Plays Midseason Ball and Sprague is Unhitable In the Pinches. The second game of the 1921 sea son was placed on the won side of the ledger when Sprague held the Sim mons team down to a few scattered hits, and no runs. It looked at first as though Simmons might do some thing, as the first man up hit for three bases, right after that hit Sprague closed up like a clam and hits were very scarce, in fact • Tabor died on third, none of his team-mates being able to bring him home. The weather was very coolish and anything but baseball weather. It would have seemed more fitting to have had a football game in progress. However, even with the cold weather the Aggies put up a creditable show ing and if they improve much more they are going to be the best in the world. The hitting was not as much in evi dence as it was in the first game, but it looked as though we were facing a better pitcher in the box this time than we were in the game the day before. Although he did not have much more than a glove and a prayer in the box. In all he was only nicked for but six hits and they were able to gather five, only one less than we got. However, ours were of timely nature and every one was made to count. Our next games are with Rice and they come the 30th and 31st of this month, so we should have some very interesting struggles to witness before long, at least here’s hoping that they give us a little more opposition than our last opponent did.

The band made up for a bad show ing the second day out and anyone who failed to hear Frame deliver the goods the second day missed a rare treat, as he brought out his drum as well as his sticks this time apd did not fool the boys with his $5.00 lick. * * * Tabor looked like the best player on the Simmons team and while he was nothing exceptional he looked bet ter than the rest. He hit good; in fact better than the average Simmons player; he had a blow to his credit in both games. He fielded his posi tion nicely and did not have an error marked up against him during either of the games. * * * Sprague sure has a wicked move to first. Dodge can certainly vouch for that, for he had him sliding back to first when he delivered the ball to the batter on his half balk motion. Lefty certainly was air tight in the pinches and hit was an unknown word to him. He also seemed to work the corners nicely and was not guilty of the com mon offense of grooving them. * * * The press box was graced with gdod chairs the second game, the war relick of a bench being removed. Thanks to the heavy weight of three or four per sonages who graced the box the first game. * * * As soon as the season progresses a little bit, it is the intention of the sport editor to run the batting and fielding averages in each issue of The Battalion. This will give all some idea as to how the hitting and fielding is being carried on by the members of the team. * * * There has not been a base stolen off Crawford in either game which either goes to show that they know what kind of a peg he has or were just not adventurous as are most college ball players when they get on base and want to steal the first pop out of the box. * * * Pete Wilson went up to the fifth inning of the second game with a bat ting average of an even 1000, which is something not everyone can boast of. ❖ * * Reports'from the Longhorn camp is that they are going to have a strong- team this year, in fact stronger than ever. They beat Simmons by the score of 14-0 but as in other sports comparative scores do not amount to as much as the paper they are written on and especially true is this of base ball, for in no other sport are upsets so likely to arise as in this one. Texas meets us this year and they are going to find a different kind of baseball team than they ever faced before. And again we have the consolation of knowing that they have no Beb Falk to put on the mound every other day. * * * Something should be done to the track where it cuts right field as sev eral men have fallen in going after fly balls in that territory and it does not pay to have crippled men on the team, and then again it tends to make them shy on going after balls hit into deep right. H« * H* Well, we^ stand at the end of the week at the top of the bunch with a 1000 percent team average -in the standings, and it is only for us to keep up the good work to remain at the top of the heap. TENNIS PLAYERS TO MEET S. M. U. MONDAY Wilson and Varnell left Sunday for Dallas where they will represent the Farmers in a dual tennis tournament with the Southern Methodist Univer sity. Wilson and Varnell are both good handlers of the racquet and if the trip does not throw them off form they will come back to us the victors. They have been training consistently under the tutorage of Coach Thomas and are the best that the Farmers have to offer to followers of tennis. Why are books your best friends ? Because when they bore you, you can shut them up without giving offense. DR. A. BENBOW DENTIST Phones: Office 275, Res. 635 2nd Floor City National Bank Building, Bryan, Texas IE* .A.
