If you didn’t you should have. Doubt less some of you thought that the games were played a bit slow for the calibre of team that we put on the floor. They were slow but not for the competition we had. Not cast ing any reflections on the opposing team, you all know that a game will be played in keeping with the type of the teams. If you are up against a fast playing team you will see a fast game; if you are up against a team of the class that we played last week you will see a somewhat slower game. '!• 'I' Now what have you done! Did you throw rocks at that little boy ? Af ter age old customs the BATTALION has been the source through which TEXAS RELAY GAMES MARCH 25 Notable Colleges on List of Entrants. Practically every team that compet ed in the Texas Relay G'ames at Aus tin last spring will be included in the lists that will compete in the Third Annual Texas Relays that will again be staged in Austin, March 25. Plans under way at the University of Texas Athletic Department at present indi cate that the games will be bigger and better than ever, with close to 1000 athletes competing on the cin- derpath and in the field events. The only team that will probably be missing from yast year is the Uni versity of Georgetown crew that last year copped many honors at the fea ture event of the South. It is not a settled fact yet however that the hus kies from Washington will not be in the competition. Among the leading- universities and colleges that will en ter teams in the relay games are Ill inois, Missouri, University of Ohio, National University of Mexico, Iowa INTERESTING PROGRAM FOR SECOND TERM Intramurals to Take on New Life- Speedball-Loving Cup. the student body has voiced its opin-1 University, Oklahoma University, ions, accordingly, this year has seen no deviation from this custom—some of us have voiced just what wt have thought, MAYBE.

U. 7 4 18 Inclement weather over the past week end has prevented some of the scheduled games in football and volley ball being played. But this should not put a stop to all the sports as there are those such as handball, boxing, wrestling, and a few others that will give those who are interested in get ting that medal for high-point man in Intramural athletics a chance to work up to those that he is not very- proficient in, and hence enable him to enter these also. A very interesting announcement has come from the Athletic Depart ment in regard to golf;; the Bryan Country Club has offered to give to the man that plays the best game, makes the lowest score in a tourna ment, that is to be staged at the end ing of the Intramural tournament now in progress, a loving cup. This tour nament will be open to all; Upper classmen and Fish. March 1st. will mark a new era; tournaments of all kinds and descrip tions will be staged. Following are a few of the sports in which tourna ments will be staged on or about March 1st: Gymnastics (the events to be announced at a later date), hand ball, wrestling, boxing, and speedball. For equipment that is needed in any of the named sports apply at the equipment room where it will bbe gladly issued for the asking. A word to the wise should be sufficient; it is suggested that battalion managers get their men lined up for these sports in order that they will know when the time arrives how to cope with the situation.

Sikes was high point man of the first encounter with Clark a close second. In the second game the situa tion was reversed. Clark leading- with Sikes on his heels. Practically every man on the Aggie squad got in one or the other of the games. Baker and Konecny put up good games at guard ing in both tilts. Smith was by far the best man for the visitors—his long shots consist- enely found the basket and he put up a good floor game as well. Boydston and Crawford also showed up well for the Gents.
