Hard luck has assailed the Aggies in the form of “Red” Petty’s neligi- bility. R.ed was one of the best in the Conference and his loss was keenly felt when the Aggies encountered T. C. U. at Fort Worth last Monday. * * * Time and again we have heard comments to the effect that A. & M. has never had the Interscholastic basketball tournament at college and they have wondered why that was. Here is the point; whoever does sponsor anything like that must bear the expenses, all these years past that Texas U. has had it in Austin they have stood the expenses and now we are trying to get the tourna ment at A. & M. we must have some way of defraying the expenses. The Athletic Department is standing the expense of part of them but they are unable to take care of all of them so they left it up to the student body whether this tournament will be a success or not. Let’s get behind it and make it a success as it will be an asset to the college. * Hark ye all, we have a tyrant in our midst! Plans had been under way for the building of an outdoor swimming pool for our dear college. Some friend had it figured out where the money was to come from for this purpose and it was not going to cost the college a cent, and then again another friend, we have lots like these, nipped this little plan in the bud and consequently we will not have the needed swimming pool. We ask you now, is that right ? * * * Moo, Moo! we sure will have to hand it to our worthy opponents the Steers for the way their fast moving quintet hooked the Hogs the other night. This set back may keep them from taking a Southwest conference out of the state as we the Aggies were unable to get the Rooters off their perch we are glad, now break down and confess you hard shelled supporters, that some team in the Clan was able to do so. The Long horns gave Rice the once over too. ffi t'fi Everybody has been throwing mud about that swimmer that swam the Catalina Channel and also that there (Continued on Page 9) Mural sports are about the only things that are keeping the College alive in the way of outside activities. This to the gentlemen that are the exponents of the theory that all there is to do here at A. & M. is to play soldier and tweedle your thumbs. If this is all you have to do it is all your own fault, when you were a Fish you boasted of how great you were going to be in the athletic world some day. Now that we have all the things and sports any one could enter and partic ipate in, we barely get enough out to fill the required places on the teams. Instead of thinking that you are a poor mistreated human get out and enter these sports that have been put here at your disposal. You make your life down here just as you yourself want it. As a diversion how about getting in on some of these Intra-mural contests ? Week in and week out we have been writing something about the game of handball; on March 1st. there will be held a hand ball tourna ment at the gym. Perhaps all the students do not know that an individ ual medal is to be given to the man getting the highest number points for entering and participating in the Intra-Mural sports. This is an Intra- Mural sport and points will be given for entering it; for practice ball apply at the gym and they will be issued those wanting them. Handball is one of the few sports that can be played indoors during rainy weather and it is a game that requires speed as well as skill and a quick eye. Last week saw a shake up in the standing of the football teams when the Artillery defeated the Air Ser vice 7-6. Fish Day was responsible for the Air Service’s set back when he made a neat run the entire length of the field when he intercepted a pass out of no where in the last few minutes of play. Those showing up well for the Air Service were Cuth- rell, Taylor, and Edgar. The 1st Battalion furnished the other shake up when they fought the Cavalry to a stand still and in many phases of the game completely outplayed them. The game resulted in a scoreless tie. Although weakened by the loss of several men who left school at the (Continued on Page 10) The Intramural Volleyball League started Monday February 7. The games will be played on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday afternoons, leaving Thursday and Friday to be used for practice or postponed games. Teams should report promptly as scheduled.

FISH WIN AGAIN AUSTIN HIGH NEXT In a fast and exciting game Friday night, the Aggie Fish basketball team whipped the Waco High Tigers to the tune of 31 to 12. Due to their superior teamwork the Fish were never in any danger of losing the game. The following afternoon the Fish repeated the trick although the game was a little closer, the final score being 27 to 14. Coach Bender made many substitutions but every com bination he put oh the floor was superior to the Waco team. This is the second series of games the Fish have played with strong high school teams and in both series they have clearly shown their super iority over the high school stars. They play the strong Austin High quintet a pair of games on February 18 and 19. r,. - Horned Frogs Come From Behind To Win Slow Game. The T. C. U. Horned Frogs defeat ed the Aggies in the first meeting of the teams this year at Fort Worth Monday Night by a score of 36 to 20. The Aggies led at the end of the first half 15 to 14, but the Frogs came back strong in the last half and emerged victorious. The game was slow throughout. Mathews and Acker, Frog guards, were the main reason why the Aggies did not score more field goals. McDonnell of the Frogs was high point man for the encounter with ten points. Clark of the Aggies was second with nine. Mathews of the Frogs was put out of the game near the end of the second half on four personal fouls. BOX SCORE. A. & M.
