The coming road trip of the Aggie
baseball team is the hardest of the
season. They will play four games in
five days, two against S. M. U. and
two against T. C. U., both strong
teams. T. C. U. lost two games to
Texas last week and will be out to
win and advance in the Conference
ladder. S. M. U. split a pair of games
with Arkansas, but the games do not
count in the Conference standing as
Arkansas withdrew from the baseball
race and none of her games count.

The track meet at Austin last week
showed that we have a much stronger
and improved team than last years,
and one that is going to put in a'
strong bid for the Conference cham
pionship. Buck and Kennedy both
lowered records in the dual meet with
State, and are much more polished
performers than they were last year.
Burgess, Ashley, Holleran, and O’Neal
from last years fish have helped to
round out a well-balanced track team.

Spring training has now started and
about thirty-five men report daily to
Coach Bible for workouts. The time
is being given to drill in the funda
mentals, so that no time will be lost

Conference Records go Down.
Coach Anderson has developed a
much better track team this year
than was thought possible with the
material on hand. At the beginning
of the season it did not look as though
we were going to be able to do much
in track, but after viewing the results
of the dual meet with Texas, it looks
as though we are going to win a Con
ference Championship- this year.
Texas just managed to beat us by
nine points in the dual meet last Sat
urday, although we got just as many
first places as they did. This was one
of the closest dual meets that has

Expected on April 29-30.
The second annual relay carnival
and fifteenth annual interscholastic
track and field meet will be held here

meet, has announced. All undergrad
uate athletes in high school and acad

In view of the success of the first
relay carnival last year, this year’s
combination carnival and track meet
is expected to be one of the best ath
letic meets of the year. Indications
point to a large representation from
every section of the state.
Medals for every event will be
awarded winning teams and individual
athletes on the second day. A long
list of attractive awards is being en
graved for this year’s meet.
Although the rules of the South
western Conference do not permit the
refund of railroad fares, every con

ers and visiting athletes. Accommo-
Idations will be provided on the cam
pus, and the players will be given
meals at the mess hall, which will be
general headquarters. Everything pos
sible will be done to insure every man
a profitable and pleasant visit to A.

There will be no mile relays on the
second day, but these will be held in
conection with the relay carnival. The
relay carnival will include quarter-mile
sprint medley, half-mile medley, and
mile relay. The track events will in
clude pole vault, shot put, 120 yard
high hurdles, 100-yard dash, mile run,
high jump, discus, 440-yard run, 220-

PLAYGROUND
BALL WINS FAVOR
A Doubles and Singles Contest to be
Staged in Horseshoe Pitching.
With the introduction of the long
spring evenings there has also come
the many games of playground ball
that dots the campus every year when
the baseball bug gets under the skin.
Playground ball will offer a field for
more boys to play than ever before
as it is desirous that a team be or
ganized out of each company instead
of out of each battalion as has for
merly been the custom. The equip
ment for playground ball has been
issued the battalion managers and all
companies that intend to enter the
league are requested to draw their
equipment from their battalion man
agers.
All over the campus there are horse
shoe contests going on but there are
very few intending to enter the tour- '
nament that is to be staged in the
near future; why not every one cap
italize his talent and enter this tour
ney and make the competition a bit
more keen ? There will be doubles
tournament as well as a singles tour
nament. All you boss shoe chunkers
get in on this and show the old folks
how it is done.

WYMAN ALLOWS
BUT ONE HIT
IN OPENER
Leave on Road Trip Next Thursday.
The Pirates dropped both games to
the Aggies last week-end by scores
4-3 and 9-5. Errors played a large
part in the scoring of both games.
Wyman was on the mound for the
Aggies in the first game and allowed
the Pirates but one hit, a triple by
Ballew in the first inning scoring Har
din. The Aggies tied it up in the sec
ond when Hunt squeezed Baker home,
but Southwestern took the lead in
the third with two more runs. The Ag
gies tied the score again in the sixth
and scored the winning run in the
seventh when Hunt walked and went
to third on Schuenemann’s single. Wy
man hit to short and Hunt beat the
throw home. Lynum pitched for
Southwestern and turned in a good
game.
Holmes and Bryant divided mound
duty in the second game and succeed
ed in holding the visitors to five runs
while the Aggies gathered nine. Dun
can and Blackburn pitched for South
western and gave up ten hits betw ii
them. Duncan walked six men in ad
dition. Loose fielding in the field by
both sides accounted for a large num
ber of the runs. Ballew again starred
for Southwestern, as did Hardin.
The Aggies leave Thursday on a
road trip, playing S. M. U. at Dallas
Friday and Saturday, and T. C. U. at
Fort Worth Monday and Tuesday.
