The Aggies will play their third con
ference game of the season in the new
gym Friday night with the Rice Owls
furnishing the opposition. Bible’s pro
teges will be ready for the fray with
several days of practice since the road
trip from which they returned Mon
day night.
Next Monday night the Farmers
will tangle with a strong T. I. A. A.
contender, Austin College, on the
home court preliminary to the games
with Oklahoma A. & M. the same
week-end. With these games to look
forward to, the student body and sup

The first games of the inter-bat
talion league were well attended by
the student body. It is to be hoped
that the interest in these games will
continue. Support your organization’s
entry in the league; the members of
the teams will appreciate it. Not on
ly that; these men that are playing
on the different teams will compose
the varsity squad next year. Some
of them will be members of the Far
mer team this coming fall. En
courage them, for they are Aggies
in the making.

Seating Arrangement in Memo
rial Gymnasium for all Bas
ketball games.
All students will occupy the
south side of the building and
overflow into the west end
where temporary bleachers have
been provided.
Section A will be occupied by
the Coupon Book holders of the
Faculty and Bryan.
Section B will be occupied by
those holding permanent reserv
ed seat tickets for all basket
ball games.
Section C will be reserved for
the general public who secure
admission tickets for single
games.
A sufficient number of seats
in Section E, in the center of the
south side of the court, will be
held for the seniors, letter men
and band. We have erected five
hundred seats at the west end
of the court to take care of the
overflow in the student sections.
All students will use the sec
ond door on the east for en
trance and the doors on their
side of the court for exit. It is
necessary that we have some
systematic seating arrange
ments as well as entrance and
exit arrangements in order to
handle the crowd and this plan
has been adopted by the Ath
letic Council with the Rice
game Friday night, and we will
appreciate the full cooperation
of all in carrying out this sys
tem.

Pitchers
and Catchers
Practice.
Report for
Baseball training for the coming
season began at A. and M. Monday
afternoon when the pitchers, catch
ers and first basemen reported for
practice. Uniforms were issued and
work began that same afternoon un
der the efficient tutelage of Coach
Rothgeb who will have charge of base
ball this season.
At a recent meeting of the candi
dates for positions on the Farmer
nine, about fifty men were present.
Included among these were nine let
ter men of last year; three outfield
ers, three infielders, two pitchers, and
one catcher. Practically all of last
year’s Freshman team were present.
With these men and the others avail
able, some of whom have had quite a
bit of experience, the prospects for
a winning baseball team are very
bright.
A1—Why so gloomy, old top?
Pal—My roommate’s going riding
in my Ford.
A1—Why that shouldn’t make you
blue.
Pal—No, but he’s wearing my suit
and coat.
A1—But, man, you have the one
you are wearing.
Pal—Yea, but my money is in the
other suit.
-^-1—Well, if that’s what’s worrying
you, why, here’s a five.
Pal—You rummy, he’s got my girl
out with him.—Ex.

And it’ll kill you

The Aggie Cagers returned to Col
lege Station Tuesday morning with
one victory and one defeat to their
credit in the race for conference
championship, having defeated Baylor
and having been defeated by T. C.
U. on the first road trip of the year.
Dealy of the Aggies broke a tied
score and incidently won the game
from Baylor last Saturday night in
their own gym. The Baylor team held
the lead far into the second half when
“Dime” looped one from quite a dif
ficult angle and made the score 15
to 13 in favor of the Aggies.
Tucker, who was injected into the
game during the first half to replace
Duckett, was high point man for the
night with five points to his credit.
Captain Washburn was second in the
scoring of points, with two fiield
goals.
Both teams failed many times to
count on apparently easy crip shots
after working the ball down the court
through stiff defensives. Fight such
as is seen in all contests between Bay
lor and the Aggies was not lacking
in this contest.
Coach Bridges started his second
string team against the Farmers in
an effort to tire them out but the Ag
gies were not to be tired. Chamb-
less was the only outstanding player
for the Waco team.

Coach Bell of T. C. U., who scouted
the game with Baylor, certainly did
some fast work for when the Aggies
met the Horned Frogs on Monday
night they were defeated by a score
of 22 to 13. The game was played in
the small gymnasium of the First
Baptist Church of Fort Worth in
stead of at the college court.
Their team composed of large men,
save one, and a narrow court upon
which a compact defense could be
formed were probably the facts to
which the Aggie defeat might be at
tributed.
