Sports Bits— (Continued from page 6) and baseball games. Standing over six feet, and weighing over two hundred pounds, he placed fourth in a fresh man hundred yard dash competition. His best performance is in the weights however, as he is easily the outstand ing weight man on the field. H. E). Laird, Plainview, p.nd his twin, D. C., are both outstanding in their events. H. E. Laird is the most promising dash man, running it in 10:1, and his brother leads in the quar ter milers. In the runs, Fish H. Fuentes, Saltil lo, Mexico, and C. D. Long, Roscoe, are most promising. Fuentes is an outstanding runner, holding a nation al record in the half and having given several exhibition runs. He ran a 1:58 in the half at Houston last year. Fish Long is very capable in the mile, ful- fulling a long felt want on the Aggie track team. Freshman T. B. Hamilton and Hes ter are the leading pole vaulters, each doing around 11:6. J. W. Herring looks best in the hurdles at the present time.

Co-Captains Popular At Texas Christian Twenty-five Men Report For Spring Basketball Spring basketball, with twenty-five candidates, most of them squadmen and intramural stars of last season reporting for the initial workout to Coach John Reid, was begun early this week. Of the four returning lettermen from last season, three will be on hand for the spring practice before the end of the week. They are Charlie Beard, guard and captain elect for 1932; Clarence Marcum, another guard and J. C. Moody, forward. Lester Veltman, stellar guard of last season, will not take part in the spring train ing because of baseball. From the seven freshmen numeral- men, only three will be available for the extra practice sessions. They are C. O. Dalton, F. L. Webb and R. L. Murray. Three of them, Clifford Dom- ingue, J. E. Robertson and C. L. Cobb are playing football, while C. M. White is trying for a numeral in base- bal. FORT WORTH.—For the third time within a period of three months, Texas Christian athletes have chosen two leaders to captain Horned Frog teams. The third double captaincy was voted when the track team elected Don Nu gent, Maypearl, and Dan Salkeld, Abi lene, co-captains of the 1931 track squad. Richard “Red” Oliver had been elected to the honor, but after scholas tic difficulties prohibited his partici pation, another election was held. Nugent is serving his third year for T C U as a dash star and will be cap tain of the track men. Salkeld, is in his second year and has been the main stay of the T C U representation in the weights since he became eligible. Salkeld will captain the field men. Just three days previous to the elec tion of the Nugent-Salkeld combination to captain the track team, the cham pionship basketball team elected Ray McCulloch, stellar forward, and Wen dell “Doc” Sumner, sensational scor er, to captain the 1932 cage team. The 1931 football eleven will also be captained by two men. Harlos Green, senior fullback, and Johnny Vaught, junior guard, were voted the honor. The idea of electing two captains was initiated in T C U at the close of the 1929 football campaign, when the champions elected Noble Atkins and Cy Leland as leaders. With the ice broken by the football champions, the idea has increased in popularity until every major athletic team in T C U, with the exception of baseball, has two captains. Firemen Quell Student Fight With Fire Hose CHARLESTON, S. C.—In a free for-all fight which followed a basket ball game here between the Citadel and the College of Charleston on the Citadel campus, two city firemen re ceived injuries which sent them to the hospital and a number of students, firemen and policemen sustained bruises and cuts. The fight started between the stu dents of the two rival institutions. When rocks and sticks began to fly, police and firemen were summoned. Then the battle turned to a fight be tween the students of both institu tions on one side, and the officers on the other. Things ended when the firemen turned a hose on the students.
