THE BATTALION FISH BASEBALL TEAM OFFERS GOOD MATER IAL FOR VARSITY The freshman baseball squad has just completed a highly successful season, although they have played only six games. They beat the Allen Academy team in two games and also took the measure of the Caldwell team in two contests. Last week they went to Brenham where they de feated the Blinn Memorial College on Monday and tied them in the second game. Coach Pierce has developed some stars of the first water from the men who reported at the first of the sea son. He has picked an infield which is indeed hard to beat, and it should be of great assistance to Coach Roth- geb when the call is issued next spring. Sykes and “Lefty” Graham at first, Hunt and Earnhardt at sec ond, Williamson and Furneaux on short, and Clark at third with Harris and Churchill catching. Of the out fielders, Ewing, Broiles, Matthews, Schow and Bradford have proved themselves capable ball players. The fish team is to be congratulated upon its work for the season and for withstanding the hardships they have worked under. They have had to practice on the drill field this year and the diamond was not of the best. Several pitchers have been deve loped who should be able to hold their own on the Varsity squad next year. Bell and Wyman have shown much promise along with Jones and Mound. Heard in the showers: “How do I know that’s my soap ?

Mr. House was highly elated over the results he ob tained in the tryouts and the high men in each event should be able to relieve a few of Coach Anderson’s worries about the strength of the track squad of 1926. Compared to track records, the marks made by the freshmen may seem far below, but when taking into consideration that the participants wore the regulation military uniform it may readily be seen that their records were fairly high. Two freshman, R. L. Rogers, and C. R. Bergstrom, ran the 100 yard dash in 11 seconds flat. There were twenty-five other men who ran this distance in less than 12 seconds. M. R. Hudnall was the only fish to make the 100 yard low hurdles in less than 13 seconds, his time being 12.4 seconds. In the hop, step, and jump, C. H. Miller and G. S. Pomeroy tied for first nlace, both clearing 38 feet, 2 inches. Four other freshmen made over 36 feet. Since this event is not in the Southwestern Conference, the dis tance obtained in the Olympic games in Paris last year is offered for com- narison, which was 50 feet, 11 1-4 inches. E. M. Fontaine was first in the broad jump with 19 feet, 9 inches, while C. F. Scott was second with a jump of 19 feet, 2 inches. Ten other men cleared over 18 feet. In the high jump D. B. Schultz cleared the bar at 5 feet and 5 inches with H. G. Swift second with a leap of 5 feet, 4 inches, and with fourteen other fish jumping over 5 feet. In the gentle and aged art of “chin ning”, P. E. Bret took first place by “bearding” the bar 28 times. Four other men exceeded the 18 mark in this event. In the shot put, few men went over 35 feet, whfie all men cleared the bar vaults with ease. SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE DESIRES DATA ON SENIORS Dean Kyle, in an attempt to obtain reliable data in regard to the gradu ates of the School of Agriculture, has sent every senior of the department a card requesting certain specific in formation. In many instances requests have been made fob agricultural graduates and it is only by such a method as this that accurate information can be kept and a reliable man obtained for the position. The department takes a great interest in the employment of its graduates and urges cooperation of the seniors in making this informa tion complete. It is Dean Kyle’s belief that every student should know the objects, pur pose and system of operation of the Experiment Station and Extension Service. Consequently, two meetings were arranged. One was held last night at which Doctor Youngblood, di rector of the Experiment Station, spoke. At 7:30 Thursday night, in the Extension Building, Director Walton will speak on the Extension Service. It is expected that a large number of seniors will attend. ■1» Bell and Spigot Joistt r I 'HE Bell and Spigot Joint for Cast Iron Pipe adopted over one hundred years ago, is the preferred joint today. It is tight, flexible, easily made and non- corrodible—there are no bolts to rust out —it makes changes of alignment or inser- tion of special fittings a simple matter—it can be taken apart and the pipe used over again, without any injury—it is not subject to damage in transit—in fact, it embodies practically all of the desirable qualities in an underground joint.
