THE B ATT A LION S. M. U. IS DEFEATED 38-14 The S. M. U. Ponies came to Aggie- land Friday to play the Aggies one of the hardest fought games witness ed this season on the Memorial gym court and lost the contest by a score of 38 to 24. Gene Bedford, who a little more than a week before de feated the Aggies almost single hand ed on the small Dallas court, was completely smothered by Wilcox and Washburn, so to speak, in the con test Friday night. He netted eight points for his team in the first half but during the second he never suc ceeded in tallying. Jones was high point man for the visitors with nine points to his credit—three field goals and three free throws. Tucker for the Aggies played a sensational game, even though he looked at times as if he were completely exhausted, he would receive the ball and toss an other basket. His total points for the night counted fourteen. The game was closely contested un til far into the second half. At the end of the first half the score was a tie 14 to 14. Again in the second half the score was tied at the 20 point mark. Finally the Aggies broke loose and finished the game with a twelve point lead. Wilcox was one of the bright lights of the night. To put it in un derstandable language he literally “opened up,” covering the court con sistently, outrunning his opponents and averaging a goal out of every two shots. Captain Washburn and Punk Baker played stellar games as usual. Jones and Bedford were the back bone of the visitor’s team. LINE-UP BATTERY “B” EDITION OF THE BATTALION IS FAVORABLY RECEIVED BY CORPS The Battery “B” Battalion, which was published last week was receiv ed with great pleasure and exclama tions of approval by the student body. It was unique in style of composi tion breaking away from the restrict ed from heretofore adhered to by organization publications. Instead of devoting several pages to the cuts and “write-ups” of the Battery per sonnel—which would have had a lim ited scope of interest—the entire thirty-six pages were utilized with humorous material. The cross-word puzzle was appropriate and suffi ciently difficult to tax the ingenuity and ability of the numerous enthus iasts. Since it is considered more dif ficult to originate a puzzle than to solve one, the product is the origina tor’s own compliment. The many car toons, which are the life of humor, were typical of college life and were well drawn. The cover design was spicy enough to arouse interest and the Valentine theme was well ex pressed. The “B” Battery Bat accomplished its aim—an interesting, yet conser vative college comic.
