Swim Meet to Mark end of Successful
Year.
Intramural wrestling has attracted
considerable attention several even
ings during the past two weeks. The
matches were of the heavier classes,
as only one wrestler was entered in
the 125 pound class with none in the
135 pound class.
The winners were: 145 pound class:
Tabor, R. R., Cavalry; 160 and 175
pound class, Dillon, E. A., 1st Bat
talion.
The last competition in interbattal
ion sports will be a swimming meet
to be held Thursday the 19th at 4:30.
This meet will be held in the Y. M.
C. A. pool and its close will practi
cally mark the ending of an unusually
successful year of intramural ath
letics.
Through the untiring efforts of W.
L. Pemberthy, director of Aggie In
tramural Athletics, Intramurals at
Aggieland are fast being put on a par
with all the other large colleges
throughout the country. Being the
hard worker and conscientious man
that he is Mr. Pemberthy has made
many of the sports on the Intramural
card far more attractive than they
have been. Under his guidance new
sports have been introduced, namely:
Speedball, Handball, Gymnastics,
Horseshoe Pitching, that have met
with much acclaim.
Under his titelage and with a bit
more cooperation from some of his
managers Intramurals will soon be the
leading factor in sports at A. & M.

Hard Hitting of Aggies in Both Games
Looks Encouraging for Coming
Games With State.
The Texas Aggies won both of the
two game series with the Gentlemen
from Centenary College last Friday
and Saturday by the scores of 15-2 and
18-4. “Siki” Sikes pitched the first
game and was back in mid-season
form, having plenty of stuff and con
trol. The game was fairly good until
the fatal seventh when the Aggies
turned it into a track event by making
seven runs and eased it off in the
eighth with six runs. “Nig” Wyman
pitched the first seven innings but
couldn’t get the stuff on the ball in
the seventh, allowing six hits and the
four scores of the game. Bryant, who
relieved him, pitched the next two
innings hitless. The things of note dur
ing the games was the hitting of
everyone, especially Hillin and Kal-
leen, the pitching of Sikes and Bryant
and the scarcity of errors by the Ag
gies.
GOLF TEAM TAKES SECOND
PLACE IN CONFERENCE MEET
That famous Aggie golf team, lead
by Captain A. O. Nicholson, nearly
brought another championship to Ag
gieland when they tied with Texas
University in the Southwestern Con
ference golf meet. In the play-off of
the tie, however, the Steers managed
to use a few less strokes and there
fore copped the championship.
The star of the Aggie team was
Brehmer, who was medalist in the
qualifying round. Brehmar is quite
an accomplished golfer, having been
captain of the Aggie golf team which
won the first conference champion
ship to be awarded in this sport.
Very little has been heard of our
golf team but they have been out
working hard every afternoon. They
have no large gallery following them
and when they had the dual match
here with Rice Institute, very few
cadets went out to the country club
to see it. In addition to playing in
the conference meet, our team met
S. M. U. and Rice Institute in dual
matches, winning from S. M. U. and
