FREE-THROWS
If there is an all-Conference cen
ter in the Southwest Conference it is
none other than Shiro Hoke. His per
formances in the Texas and Arkan
sas games, not counting his other
conference games, is practically
enough to give him the berth. The
Porker players were high in their
praise of the jumping Aggie center.
Coach Frank Anderson is willing
to take the “Gripes” from Business
Manager Sullivan for his men burst
ing fences with the discus, providing
they can hurl the ancient weapon as
far in the Conference track meet.
Bob Farmer, holder of the Confer
ence broad jump record, hurled the
discus through the top of tire fence
which was about 150 feet from the
ring the other day and that is
“pretty good” when you consider
that Leo Baldwin just reset the
conference record with 152 feet last
year. Farmer is carrying the hunk
of wood around for luck so we hear.

The Engineers and First Ai-tillery
are now the only real (Contenders for
the Intramural football crown. They
each have two games to play and
it takes two wins for either to win.
The Engineers and First Artillery
meet in the last game.
Announcement has been made that
the Intramural track stars will com
pete with the Texas University In
tramural thinly clads in a telegraphic
track meet. The Aggies’ meet will
be held April 27th and since the
Texas meet is scheduled for the 25th,
The winner will be known here as
^ soon as the last event is finished
here. It is hoped that the Aggie In
tramural track stars can win this
Hirst meet; the intramural record as
a whole is a little better and mem
bers of the Intramural department
wish to keep Aggieland on top in an
Intramural way.

I. M. GAMES CLOSELY
CONTESTED; ENGINEERS
AND 1ST ART. LEAD
With the last games of the Bat
talion football league just two weeks
off, the race for Intramural fotball
honors has been narrowed down to
the First Artillery backed by Major
Sloan and the Engineers with a Pick
as their supporter. Due to the fact
that the Engineers did not get to
play their first game of the season
on account of weather condition and
the fact that the First Artillery will
play their full schedule, the Wagon
Soldiers will have a slight advantage
since they play one more game. The
Artillery can win one and tie one,
while the Engineers must cop both
their games to win the flag. The En
gineers will play the First Artillery
on March 8th in the last game of
the season and a victory over the
Artillerymen would give them the
flag or not less than a tie.
The Composites held the First In
fantry to a scoreless tie when the
two teams met this past week-end.
The game was played in the Com
posites territory most of the time,
but the First lacked the driving-
punch when they had the ball in
scoring distance, i Ellis, No}lafi ajnd
Schnurr continued their good playing
for the First while Price and Sud-
derth were the mainstays of their
opponents.
The Second Infantry failed to
break the winning streak of the En
gineers and dropped a game to them
by a 12 to 0 score. The scores were
the result of a continuous aerial at
tack. “Swede” and Blodgett were
the big guns for the opposing teams.
A scoreless tie was also the re
sult of the Artillery duel. The Wa
gon Soliders did their best to out do
each other, but they were too well
matched. O’Dowd and Hewit shared
the honors for the First, and Moser
and Criswell upheld the Second.
FISH CONTINUE TO WIN
Coach “Red” Petty’s 1930 freshman
basketball team continued their win
ning streak when they met and de
feated two different opponents on
two successive days.
First, Caldwell Hi bowed by a 47-
19 count when Embry, first-year for
ward, led the scoring with a total
of 18 points. Porter and Houston of
the Caldwell club 'each scored 8
points for their club.
The second game proved to be just
another g-ame when the fish found
the Allen cadets easy pickings to
win by a 33 to 13 score. Malone, big
center from Terrill of Dallas, was
closely pushed for high point hon
ors with 11 points by Miller with 10.
Wilkerson of Allen was high scorer

AGGIE RIFLEMEN
WIN FIRST MATCH
OF 1930 SEASON
The Texas Aggie rifle team, coach
ed by Lieutenant Nachman, won its
first inter-collegiate small bore rifle
match of the 1930 season by a score
of 3,6G6 as compared with 3,638
made by North Carolina State Col
lege of Agriculture and Engineering
who placed second. Mississippi A. and
M. placed third with a score of 3,558
and the University of Illinois placed
fourth with 3,555.
McGinnis, of Troop A Cavalry, was
the only man on the Aggie team to
shoot a possible, making a perfect
score in the prone position.
The Aggies score is particularly
gratifying as this is the first inter
collegiate match fired this season.
The new small bore range has added
much interest to the work of the rifle
team and the facilities should make
improved scores a certainty. The
team is captained by Johnnie Janak,
major of the Frist Battalion of Infan
try.

TRACK MEET
James Sullivan, business manager
of athletics at A. and M., is laying-
plans to facilitate the handling of
the Southwest Conference track and
field meet to be held at Kyle Field
May 9-10 this year. The Aggie busi
ness manager is looking forward to
having a large crowd in the new
stadium for the meet, which is ex
pected to attract a large number of
track and field stars from the high
schools and junior colleges of the
state. Optimistic reports from a num
ber of the conference track training
camps indicate the meet this year
will be one of keen rivalry and that
Coach Frank Anderson’s Texas Ag
gie track team, acting in the role of
hosts and defenders, will be hard
pressed in the defense of the title
won last season.
PORKERS WIN FROM AGGIES;
BUT WHATA ARGUMENT
Aggie teams have been called “The
Fighting- Aggies” and Friday and
Saturday nights the Arkansas Pork
ers found that the old saying was far
from wrong when the Aggies held
them to three and four-point vic-
ories. And had the Aggies been half
way lucky the first night with their
shots, both long- and crip, the Pork
ers would have suffered one of the
worst defeats in many moons. The
second night the Aggies took about
one fifth the number of shots the
evening before and made them count,
in fact so much that it looked as if
the Porker had lost a game until the
very last few seconds when a free
throw was made to tie the count.
25-22 tells a big story, but nothing
like the tune of 28-24—even tho the
Aggies lost.
For the Aggies Hoke was the
outstanding man of the g-ame. Shiro
took the tip from the elongated Holt
practically every time and played an
all-round game. The Arkansas play
ers will never stop wondering how
he gets so high in the air. Holt is
not less than 6 inches taller, yet
Hoke took the tips. If there is an
all-conference center in the Confer
ence it looks like Hoke is it. Keeton
played a good defensive game with
Bo Bell—especially in The second
tilt.
For the Porkers Creighton with
his long shots in the first game and
Schoonovers superb playing in both
games were our picks.
Next Saturday the Aggies meet
Texas in the last g-ame of the sea
son. Buster Keeton and Johnnie Ko-
necny will be playing their last game
under Maroon and White colors and
a victory over the Longhorn’s should
send them out in a blaze of glory.
