Sport Sidelights <
By W. J. Faulk
The season’s opener in baseball
may well be classed as one of
“those things” in which most any
thing is liable to happen at most
any time. Sixteen errors, three cir
cuit clouts, and five triples tell
the story in a manner. The Aggies
led most of the way and twice had
beautiful chances to “break” up
the ball game but muffed both of
them.
Even though things appear
ed extremely gloomy at the
start of the track season Coach
“Andy” Anderson seems to be
developing some track men
who may trouble the leaders
no small amount. Akin’s time
of 50.6 seconds in the 440 yard
run should gain at least a sec
ond in conference competition.
Irwin gave the discus a ride
around ten feet further than
his best last year and Hester
should place with his 12 feet
in the pole vault.
Spring football training is to be
just a trifle shorter than usual
this year. It will be terminated
about April 7 with a game between
two teams selected by Coaches Bell
and Holmes. A scrimmage will be
held Thursday afternoon of this
week. Very little scrimmage has
been done to date, with the major
ity of the time being applied on
shift plays and fundamentals to be
used next season. Practice in ap
plication ef the new rules has also
been an essential part of the work
in the training period to date.
Intramural sports present
probably the most unusual sit
uation yet encountered in the
way of coincidents, on the A
and M campus. The Identical
four organizations participat
ing in the semi-final round of
Horse-shoe pitching last year
were again the contenders this
season. In the drawing for the
matching those four were
matched exactly as they were
a year ago. Now the winners
in the semi-final go happen to
be the same teams entering the
finals of two years back.
After several successful seasons
the Aggie swimmers have met with
competition of such calibre that
they cannot fathom it and twice in
two weeks the score has been in
favor of their opponents. The
Longhorns made good their boast
of several Olympic prospects when
they gave the Maroon and White
representatives a thorough trounc
ing in Austin last week, and pre
sent indications are that Texas
University will easily cop the first
conference title.
Then there is the situation of the
poor track man who left the car
for a few minutes and returned to
find his whole track suit gone.
Such was the case in Fort Worth
when two of A and M’s outstanding
trackmen made the trip to enter
the Fort Worth Fat Stock show
meet. Just another case of “beaten
before he started.”
Saturday afternoon a glimpse
may be had of the powerful
freshman track team of which
Coach Andy has been more
than usually boastful this year
when the annual Varsity-Fish
competition is staged on the
cinders of Kyle field. The
freshman team this season is
reputed to be far superior to
that of the class of ’31 which
held the conference title for
two consecutive years. Then
there will be very few of the
varsity this year that will not
return next season, which may
cause no little worry to the
Rice Owls.
Injuries will keep George Ad-
dicks, premier Aggie sprint man,
from entering the competition Sat
urday because of a pulled tendon.
Addicks will probably be out of
all dual and triangular meets prior
to the conference meet, but should
no further trouble develop he will
be in good shape for the “final
run.” His absence not only weakens
the team in the line of sprints, but
also materially affects the relay
team, one of the strongest parts
of the team. It was none other than
“Old man” injury jinx that cheat-

M. K. Thornton’s Book
“Cottonseed Products”
Recently Published
“Cottonseed Products,” a book
written by M. K. Thornton, pro
fessor of industrial chemistry at
Texas A and M College, was pub
lished this week by the Oil Mill
Gazetteer at Wharton, official mag-
azint of the National Oil Mill sup-
ertintendent’s Association. The
book contains 258 pages and op-
proximately seventy-five illustra
tions. The book was written pri
marily as a text and general ref
erence book, according to Profes
sor Thornton, and contains many
important tables of information
that are not generally available
to cottonseed workers.
We wish to congratulate you Fellows on your
“Spring Fever Number” of The Battalion. We think
your paper is one of the best of its kind published
anywhere. It really gets results because everyone
that receives it really reads everything from “cover
to cover.”
This we contribute to the efficiency of the Staff
and Business Management.
The Battalion is serious enough, funny enough,
and attractive enough. What more could you want
for your money in the way of advertisement?

what makes
a college leader?
The most popular ready-to-
eat cereals served in the
dining-rooms of American
colleges, eating clubs and
fraternities are made by
Kellogg in Battle Creek.
They include Kellogg’s Corn
Flakes, PEP Bran Flakes,
Rice Krispies, Wheat
Krumbles and Kellogg’s
WHOLE WHEAT Biscuit.
Also Kaffee Hag Coffee—real
coffee that lets you sleep.
Personality, of course. An en
gaging attitude toward others.
Boundless energy for class and
campus activities.
Good health is the basis. So few
have it. Constipation frequently
causes headaches, loss of appetite
and energy, sleeplessness.
Yet it can be overcome so easily
—by eating a delicious cereal,
Kellogg’s ALL-BRAN. Two table
spoonfuls daily will promote regu
lar habits.
Try it with milk or cream. Ask
that Kellogg’s ALL-BRAN be served
at your fraternity house or campus
restaurant.
