“RIP” COLLINS
The famous American League pitch
er and former member of the Aggie
eleven, who returned recently to as
sist Coach Rothgeb in the task of
getting the Farmer hurlers in shape
for the coming campaign. During
his stay here many valuable sugges
tions were passed on to the young
sters by this veteran of the big
leagues. The Battalion takes this op
portunity of expressing the appreci
ation of the student body for the ef
forts he has put forth to make the
Aggie team a winner in the coming
conference pennant chase.
AGGIE PROSPECTS
FOR GOOD TRACI
TEAM ARE BRIGHT
Coach Anderson has been working
hard with the Aggie track squad for
several months, getting them in shape
for the coming season and the hard
schedule that has been mapped out
for them. The Farmer coach is very
optimistic over the prospects for a
winning team this year and says that
they are the brightest we have had
for the past three years.
For the dashes the Aggies have
two of the fastest men in the con
ference in Poth and “Mule” Wilson.
Poth won the century event in every
meet he participated in last year and
set new marks in it and the 220 yard
dash. Wilson placed in the confer
ence meet last year and can be count
ed on for his share of points this
year in these two events. Woolridge
and Mitchell of last year’s freshman
squad have been stepping these dis
tances off in good time and are mak
ing the old men work harder than
ever.
Perker is showing up well in the
quarter mile and Mitchell, Blair, and
Arnold should improve greatly be
fore the first meet.
Captain Weddell is the best half
miler we have and is the best in the
conference with the possible excep-

CAPTAIN “LEFTY” ROGERS
H. L. Rogers of Mart, Texas, who
will lead the Texas Aggies in their
campaign against the other confer

ship of the Southwest this season.
Rogers is the leading portsider of the
loop and should have the best year
of his career in the coming pennant
chase.
AGGIES CLOSE
SEASON WITH
LOSS TO TEXAS
The curtain of the ’25 basketball
season was drawn Saturday night
when the Aggies suffered a defeat
at the hands of the Longhorns dur
ing the last five minutes of play. The
game which was lost by four points,
17 to 13, ended a most disastrous sea
son for the Farmer team. Not for
one minute did those men from Ag-
gieland cease to fight the followers
of the Orange and White.
Until the last five minutes of the
game the Aggies led but their op
ponents staged a rally and with the
stringy Nation finding the loop a
couple of times, gained a four point
lead.
The floor work of the Aggies ex
celled that of the Texans but their
shots at the goal were far too er
ratic to count for much.
Esquival was high point man of the
night with eight points in his favor.
Kyle made seven for his team.
Line-up: Longhorn-Aggie game.

The basketball season of 1925 ended
with the game Saturday night and
the end marked the closing of the
careers of four athletes who were as
true Aggies as ever wore the Maroon
and White—fighters, every last one
of them. They are Washburn, Duck
ett, Damon and Dealy.
Washburn, captain of this year’s
team, came to this school from Cul
ver Military Academy where he
played two years. His first basket
ball to be played here was in the In
tramural league with the Artillery
team. That year the Artillery was
runner up in the race, losing their
last game to the Cavalry team upon
whose roster were the names of
Duckett and Dealy. He captained his
team then and also the freshman
squad later in the year. The next
year a berth awaited him on the var
sity and his work was commended
