Owing to a lack of material to fill
the column of free thrown we will
print a so-called “break-off” that
was handed us. All those wishing to
contribute to this free throws column
are welcome to it and all contribu
tions will be gratefully received at
lU/ Hollywood. The said break-off or
wpr should have written information
for the benefit of College and Bryan
residents.

That Bryan is swiftly becoming
so congested within its incorporated
limits, that new residents are going
to the suberbs is evidenced by the
formation of the new addition known
as “Jim Davis Junction.”
Located two and one-half miles
from Bryan, on the Bryan-College
iriterurban and one block off the
highway, “Jim Davis Junction” bids
fair to be an ideal spot for future
residents of Bryan, and a frequent
visiting place for some Captain and
First Lieutenant in the Cadet Corp.
The idea of dividing “Jim Davis
Junction” and forming “Starnes
Acres” is being advocated by some
interested in promoting this new
addition.

TEMPLE HIGH DROPS A
PAIR TO FRESHMEN
Lockett of Fish and Shull of Temple
High Point Men.
Our Aggie Fish won a pair of
basketball games from the Temple
Wildcats last week and doing so
showed that they had a much faster
team than the high-school boys.
Practically every fish on the squad
was given a chance to show his stuff
in the two games.
In the first game, played Friday
night, Coach Bender used thirteen
players to run up a score of nineteen
points while Temple was making-
eleven points. Lockett of the Aggie
Fish was a high point man with
six points although he was closely
followed by Conover and Candle of
the Fish, and Shull of Temple with
four points each.
The second encounter, played
Saturday afternoon, saw Shull run
wild wuth the ball to make a total of
sixteen points. Shull will be remem
bered for his prowess on Temple
High’s football team. The Aggie
Fish won the game 26 to 19 with
Whitten leading the scoring (for the
fish) with 6 points and Conover
coming next with 5 points.
Johnny Broad refereed both games
and Snead was umpire.
The Fish will play a pair of games
with Waco High School on February
4, and 5, and then on February 18,
and 19 they may be seen in action
against Austin High School.
FARMERS HOLD
BALL PRACTICE
Aggie Team Has Nine Veterans
Back.
While the full baseball squad is
not expected to report until the first
of March, preliminary warming-up
practice on the part of some of the
A. & M. players is being held when-
e/er the w^eather permits. Pitchers
and catchers have been working out
for several days and equipment has
already been issued to the players.
The Aggie baseball team, which
has nine letter men back from last
year, will have a large squad of
promising players from the 1926
freshman team, Claude Rothgeb,
head baseball coach, has pointed out.
Among the members of last
year’s “fish” team who should make
the regular squad this year are A. C.
Bryant, Mexia, outfielder; E. Broes-

ARKANSAS AND S. M. U.
MAKE CLEAN SWEEP
OF SERIES
Last Minute Goal Gives Ponies Game.
Coach Anderson has already set
under way a strenous training pro
gram for the likely-looking Aggie,
track squad in an effort to develop
an array of talent to strike for South
western Conference honors this year.
Last year the Agg-ie track team
finished second. Capable athletes are
on hand for every event this season
and sport critics admit that A. & M.
probably has the best-balanced track
aggregation in the conference.
Coach Anderson is anxious to
match two track meets with several
of the conference teams, and has
about closed negotiations with Rice
and the University of Texas. The
Longhorns are scheduled to come i Arkansas
here May 7, and negotiations are un-/ Q^ ee j e / ^

Strong Relay Team.
The Aggies will be particularly
strong in the mile relay. Captain
Ernest Parker of Fort Worth holds
the conference record in the quar
ter-mile event. Burge Burgess of
Hale Center and R. C. Graham of
Tyler also rank among the quarter-
milers in the conference. Coach
Anderson needs to develop but one
other quarter-miler to compete his
mile relay team.
It is believed that the Aggies
have a good chance to win first
place in the javelin-throwing event.
Ox Dieterich, who won second place
in this event at the national meet in
Chicago last summer, has played out
his term of eligibility, but W. D.
Willis of Dallas and Bill Hollerman
of San Antonio are developing rapid
ly.
There is no shortage of high
jumpers with H. Ashley of San An
tonio, V. J. Head of Brownfield and
J. C. Appleman of Dallas on hand.
The team also is well fortified in the
weight events with Z. W. Barlett of
Marlin and H. J. McKenzie of Hous
ton available.
The Arkansas Razorbacks took both
games of the two game series from
the Aggies at Fayettville last week
by the scores of 34-27 and 25-16.
Both games were fast and hotly
contested all the way. Petty with
fourteen points was high point man
of the first encounter while Pickel,
Arkansas star, was high point man of
the second affray with ten. Rose of
Arkansas and Baker of the Aggies
also played well.
