Some things and people around
here can be taken too seriously—
they are only saying things to see
how they will sound, more like the
Parrot every day.

We have been advised not to make
certain remarks about the game last
Friday. The players were more de
pressed over the loss than anyone.

There is a certain class of peo

other just fall down.

Letters commenting on this sea
son’s nine are being received. Some
of these are very worthy; and some
week when we can’t work up any
thing to say we are liable to hold
forth on a sort of an old home week
and publish them.

Things aren’t as gloomy as they
seem; we still have a fighting
chance— don’t go boom.

Two score years ago—less thirty
eight, someone used the expression
that Coach Anderson was very much
elated over his track prospects. He
says that its going to be a close
fight but give him a few men like
Capt. Dan, Slocumb, Sessions, and
others.

Rice has it all figured out so that
they are to come out on top—we
can’t use their calculations, sorry.

The Texas Aggie track team, one
of the ranking favorites to cop the
Conference championship this year,
carried the gospel of Aggieland
athletics a bit further into the hearts
of Houstonians a week and a half
ago when they sent the Rice Insti
tute Owl runners and jumpers down
into defeat by a 69 to 48 score. A
torrential downpour the night be
fore made the track and field exceed
ingly heavy, but did not prevent the
keenest sort of competition from
taking place.
Don Slocumb and Herman Harlan
took care of the low's and highs res
pectively in fine style, with Hodges
and Tracy bringing home the break
fast in the quarter. The mile relay
team (O’Neillj Hodges, Tracy, and
Sessions) easily showed a muddy
pair of heels to the feathered flock’s
output. The firm of Bracey, Brun
son, Jacobe, and Willis, however,
cleaned up On the sprints and dis
tances for the Owls.

RELAY MEN BACK
FROM KANSAS
Dashing Dan O’Neill, debonair cap
tain of this year’s track edition of
the Texas Aggie track team, Green
ville’s ideal, and holder of many
other like honors, gained fame on
new and far distant fields this past
week-end. It all started when Coach
Andy packed his mile relay team in
his car and started for Waco to
catch the train to Lawrence, Kan
sas, and the Kansas relays.
Near Marlin the car brushed
against another such vehicle to be
gin things. Then in Oklahoma a
small boy (Dan swears that it was
an Indian escaped from the reserva
tion and on the warpath) tossed a
rock through the window of the
obsexwation car landing uncomforta
bly between Dan’s shoulder blades
and giving him an unlocked for
shower of flying glass.
In Kansas a fair damsel offered
to give the boys a lift to the hotel.
Some of the Kansas boys also ac
cepted the offer, but these were lost

The intramural department enter
ed upon its busiest period of the in
tramural season with the opening of
the Intramural playground ball lea
gues last week and the largest parti
cipation record for any sport since
thb introduction of the intramural
program at A. and M. is expected in
this popular game. Last year more
that four hundred participated in the
contests conducted by the intramur-
cil department and. the in tor-cot 'wtto
so great that another set of leagues,
known as the Class “B” leagues,
have been instituted to care for the
increasing number of players. These
leagues will make it possible for at
least three hundred more students
to take part in the recreational pro
gram sponsored by the athletic de
partment. Seven diamonds have been
placed on the drill field and these
will be used each day for games.
Teams wishing practice fields may
go to Kyle Field where there are
four diamonds on the Freshman foot
ball field. The class “B” leagues
will be started about the middle of
the week.
Horseshoe pitching is due to begin
April 29 and the following Saturday
the swimming meet will be held.
Horseshoes have been issued to each
organization and teams should be
selected now as a list of the mem
bers of the teams must be turned in
at the intramural office before the
leagues open.
No members of th A. and M.
Swimming Club will be allowed to
enter the annual splash Jrponsored
by the Intramural department. The
studets could not possible compete
with the best swimmers in the South
and expect to even place, so these
swimmers have been barred and is
open to all other students of the col
lege.
The volleyball leagues have closed
and the finals remain to be played.
The absence of the C a det Corps
in the stands was very noticable in
the score of the Frog games, Coun
tryman’s nine seemed to be dead on
their feet and were slow in getting
off. A large amount of this was
probably due to the fact that the
band was not on hand, and the spec
tators were of the more reserved
type.
First Game
Mills started duty on the mound
for the Aggies but was only able to
stay a part of two innings. He was
wild, and in that time gave the op
ponents four men on base on balls.
Kasprowicz relieved Mills late in
the second. There were two men on
base and another walk loaded them.
The side was retired after they had
scored two runs.
Things went along very smoothly
until the fifth when Lackey doubled
to deep right and was scored by Kas-
prowicz’s single.
The Frogs came back for another
run in the sixth and again in the
seventh.
A. & M. made their other counter
in the eighth when Bell doubled and
was scored by Cody’s single.
Bell and Lackey led the Aggie of
fensive for the day; both appearing
at bat four times and getting two
hits each.
The score ended: Frogs 5—Ags.2.
Second Game
The batteries for the second game
were: Ags.—Wendt and Lackey; T.
C. U.—Cox and Walker.
Wendt, the little Aggie Southpaw,
was due for a hard day when an er
ror allowed the first frog to face
him to get to first. A man was hit
by a pitched ball another walked.
The Visitors were retired after they
had took off a four run lead. They
scored again in the third, twice in
the fourth, and once in the ninth.
The home club managed to put
across three counters in the first
A very successful season has been when Johns doubled, Conover singled,
reported this year and this sport and Bell slapped one out for one sack,
promies to be very popular in the
future, as least when more learn to
play the game.
Five teams remain in the race for
all men scoring. Cody’s sliding pad
flopped into a pitched ball and he
took first, advanced to third, and
was caught in a forced play at the
the handball title and tlie champion- j plate, the batter was also thrown
