Didja’ see them go the other night?
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.

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

Well the Porkers did it. They have,
by virtue of the defeat of Texas Uni
versity at the hands of T. C. U., won
the conference title. Nice going we
must say for their initial crash into
the conference.

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.

The Centenary College Gentlemen
from Louisiana dropped off at Col
lege Station last week just long-
enough to drop two games to the Ag
gies, 39-20 and 46-26.
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.
Box score—1st.
