High Point THE DOPE BUCKET In the last game of the basket ball season to be played on the home court, the .Aggies defeated the Baylor Bears to the tune of 26-10. The game resembled more closely a gridiron contest than a cage game, with the Bears taking the offensive from the beginning. For the greater part of the first half, the score remained a tie with the count 1 and 1, and then Kyle dropped one into the basket. From then on the fight raged fiercely with the Aggie forwards looping a basket at intervals. The Baylor forwards seemed unable to find the basket and experienced a great amount of diffi culty in getting close to the Aggie goal that was guarded to a perfection by Baker and Washburn. Kyle and Wilcox tied for high point honors with each one having a total of nine. Capt. Washburn and “Punk” Baker played their usual brilliant game and refused to let the Bears come within scoring distance of their gcal. The lineup: Aggies Baylor Wilcox Chamberless R. F.

The pupils of Bible have indeed a tough assignment for the week-end for the Steers are in deed hard to beat on their home court with the crowd sitting close to the sidelines. If the Farmers suc ceed in taking the game from the Uni versity entry, then they will complete the season with a percentage of five hundred. All Company Game Again Revived T. C. U. GAME. Only one more basketball game and then baseball and track are scheduled to begin. * * * Note to prospective coaches: Always follow Bridges’ example and have your men to change jerseys at the end of the half. In this way the scorekeepers and referee might confuse your men and forget to put some man out of the game with personal fouls. ❖ * 'l- With “Mule” Wilson in track shoes again it looks as though the first and second places in dash events should find a home in Aggieland this year.

However, since Mr. Bridges was so successful in football this year it is only natural that some of the mole skin spirt might slip into the court play of his loopers. ❖ sjc * Coach Matty Bell was heard to re- (Continued on Page 7) co 1.

I The C«yea.Xola C^mpijpy. 1 ■A-aaa /A: wmm mmc When you get treat i The Horned Frogs, contenders for second place in the conference race for championship, defeated the Ag gies 20 to 17 in an exceedingly slow game on the home court Thursday night. The Aggies held the lead at the end of the first half by one point, 11 to 10, but were unable to finish so well. The Aggies lacked by far the form they demonstrated in the Texas and S. M. U. games of a week before and the Christians were riding a like horse evidently, for they did not show any playing of conference champion ship calibre. Indeed they did not com pare with the playing they did last year even though the team was the same five for the one man, Frazee. Captain Washburn and his men were naturally playing under a handi cap, the size of the T. C. U. men be ing such that passing was difficult as well as guarding against them. Baker and Washburn did some very good guarding though it looked at times as though they played too far back and were not playing far enough out in the court to prevent some of their opponents shots. Cantelmi, who last year was so lucky in making tallies for his team, confined his scoring to two points in the game and Cantrell, who regu larly is high point man gave way to Harry Taylor after making one goal. Taylor was high point man of the night with eight points to his credit. Cantelmi was substituted by Gene Taylor, a brother of Harry. This lad played a neat game and should prove a valuable man next year. Pie is a sophomore this season. The line-up follows: Aggies T. C. U. Wilcox Cantrell R. F. Duikett Cantelmi L. F. Kyle George C.

The material results of the inter battalion football league will be in evidence this coming Saturday. The value of intra-mural athletics as a means of developing varsity mater ial has long been recognized and has been strongly emphasized in the re cent battalion football games. A number of good men have proven their ability in these contests and have been chosen to play on one of the all company teams. The members of the teams that meet Saturday were picked from recommendations made by the coach es of the battalion teams. Ex-Captain Miller, assisted by Charles Waugh, will coach one team while Captain- elect Fay Wilson assisted by “Bones” Irrin will coach the other. The coaches have chosen their teams and have already started a strenuous prac tice for the game Saturday. Although a tentative selection of an all-company team has been made, no places have been cinched and the coaches will no doubt be greatly in fluenced in making their pick by the work of men in the coming game. The make-up of the two teams shown below gives promise of a good football game, as practically all of these men have been shining lights in the battalion games. The line-up: Ex-Capt. Miller . .

GAMES SCHEDULED WITH MINNESOTA U. James Sullivan announced yesterday that two games had been scheduled with the Univ ersity of Minnesota’s baseball team for March 21 and 22 in College Station. The team from the middle west will make a tour of the South and are in cluding games with various members of the Southwest Con ference. We have heard that Wild Pat Holl- oran, the Tobacco Chewing Artist of the Wagon Soldiers, will never again date a girl to take her horseback rid ing. We wonder why.
