Artillery Upperclassmen and Fish
Win Fish Games.
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.

Everybody has been throwing mud
about that swimmer that swam the

(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

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.
Fifteen pbints shall constitute a
game and the team winning two
games out of three will win the con
test. The players are required to
rotate in position. Touching the net
is a foul and the ball or point, as the
case may be, goes to the side fouled.
Any points not understood will be
clarified by the manager in charge.
Nets and balls for practice may be
checked out by reporting to the intra
mural Department any afternoon
this week.

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.

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.
