AGGIES WIN INITIAL CONFERENCE GAME
BASEBALL AND TRACK
CANDIDATES REPORT
FOR PRACTICE
Prospects for Championships Loom.
After completing a very successful
season last year the Aggies are re
porting for baseball practice with a
determination to dethrone the long
ruling Texas University from the
Baseball Throne. Coach Rothgeb has
very near the same team to work
with this year he had last year, with
the exception of Sid Kyle, Williams,
Steineker, Koerth and Brazelton.
Strengthening the Aggie team will
be Capt. Hollis Tucker, who played a
sterling game at the short stop posi
tion, Punk Baker who played the hot
3rd. base corner with meritorious rec
ord. Stopping the pill will be the ef
fervescing Red Scheunemann who has
been in the conference lime light for
the past two seasons. On the pitch
ing staff will be the iron man Hillin,
who was one of the best in the con
ference last year. Nig Wyman, G. O.
Mount, Cotton Bryant. In the outfield
will be, Schou, Broyles, Clark, Mc-
Conaughy. There will be a wealth of
material to draw on from last yeaar’s
freshman squad.
Headed by the versatile night owl
E. P. Parker of Cross-Country and
track fame, the thinly clad aspir
ants under the tutelage of Coach An
derson have reported for spring track
practice.
The Aggies will be strengthened in
the weights and hurdles this year, but
will be somewhat weaker in the
sprints because of the loss of big
Mule Wilson. Woolridge, who finish
ed well up near the front in the con
ference meet will be the fast man
for the Aggies this year. Willie Bart
lett will be a strong man in the
weights.
The Aggies will again send a team
to the Texas relays this year. An add
ed attraction at the relay carnival
this year will be a new relay of four
miles; the conference has been mark
ed by relays this long but this is the
first time the south has witnessed
a carnival with a four-mile relay.
Before the Christmas holidays the
intramural cross-country was run-off.
Fish Killian of the Artillery was the
first man to cross the finish line. The
Artillery amassed enough points to
win, while the First and Second Bat
talions won second and third respect
ively.

INTRAMURAL FOOTBALL
GAMES ARE CENTER
OF ATTRACTION
Games are Keenly Contested.
The Center of attraction in Intra
mural sports at present is football.
To date there have been four games
played, the Air Service playing two
and winning both of them. The first
game with the 1st. Battalion was a
close game all the way, the only
score being the Air Service touch
down in the first quarter. The 1st.
Battalion is the only other team that
has played two games. They lost to
the Air Service in the first encounter
but emerged victorious in the next
game, 20 to 0.
The other games played were be
tween the Air Service and the 2nd.
Battalion and the Artillery and 3rd.
Battalion, 'the Air Service again won,
this time 25-0, while the Artillery and
1st. Battalion battled to a scoreless
tie.
Men that have showed up well so
far are: Miller of the 2nd, Parrot,
Mills, and Rogers of the first., Brown,
Edgar, Taylor, and Cuthrell of the
Air Service. Oliver and Morris of the
Artillery, (Lack of information on
men in the 3rd. Battalion and the
Composites is the reason they are
left off the list. Battalion managers
please submit reports of the games
played to the Sports Editor at 107
Hollywood).

VOLLEY BALL TOURNAMENT
TO START ON JANUARY 17
A New Intramural Sport.
The Aggies opened the Southwest
Conference basketball season success
fully last Saturday night when they
defeated the S. M. U. Mustangs from
the Northland 31-28 in a spirited
Volley ball is being introduced as
an intramural sport this year for the
first time and from the amount of
interest that is being shown in the
game, it ought to go over big. Origi
nally designed as a Y. M. C. A. gym
nasium pastime, volley ball has great
ly exceeded its originator’s ideas and
is now a big factor in group recrea
tion. It will be played here on the
varsity tennis courts and the only
uniform requirement will be that rub
ber-soled shoes be worn by the con
testants. The courts will be ready for
use in about a week and teams will
be allowed a week’s practice before
the tournament begins. Each battal
ion will be represented by two teams
of six men each, one playing in the
freshman league and one playing in
the upperclassman league. There are
so few expert volley ball players on
the campus that everyone has a
chance to make his team, regardless
of whether he has ever played before
or not. The game is very simple and
easily learned. Battalion sports man
agers are urged to get their men out
and start practicing as soon as pos
sible, because the tournament will
start about January 17.

lead 14-13 at the end of the first
half.
The Aggies succeeded in tying the
score after the start of the half and
from then out the lead sea-sawed

field goal and a free goal that decid
ed the game for the Aggies.
Allison of the Mustangs was high
