FRIENDLY FIVE SHOES THaldropAff THE BATTALION Sport Sidelights By W. J. Faulk The mad scramble to the finish line in the conference baseball race finds T C U’s Frogs giving the favored group a literal “fit” as they continue on their march apparently headed for the title with only ten games on their sche dule, and as yet only one set back against them. Either T C U or Texas University seems certain to emerge the champion when the cur tain is rung down on one of the toughest races ever recorded in the annals of diamond history in the Southwest conference. Baylor’s Bears still retain an outside chance to “slip-up and take the flag.” Chances are extremely remote that such will take place, however. Coach “Andy” Anderson’s spectacular Aggie freshman track team showed the Var sity how in the 440 sprint re lay when they dashed the dis tance in 43.3 seconds to lead the latter by one and one- tenth seconds. The team, con sisting of Stringfellow, Ran- dell, Hoosier and Wicker com pletely ran away from both the A & M and ACC teams, Wicker leading at the finish by more than ten yards. Wick er also won the exhibition 100 yard dash and clipped three- tenths of one second from the varsity time. Second places proved the win ning factor for the Aggies as the Abilene Christian College Wildcats took nine of sixteen first places in the dual meet on Kyle Field Monday afternoon. The West Tex as crew was woefully weak in sec ond place talent as they won only two. Worth Watkins, ACC ath lete, gave the spectators a real exhiibtion of high jumping when he cleared the bar at six feet six inches, which happens to be just two inches short of the world rec ord in that event. Watkins is a sophomore at the institution and displayed enough ability in his jumps here to remove any doubt that he is a brilliant Olympic pros pect. “Big Dooley Dawson,” man- mountain weight entry of the Aggies who is “Honk” Irwin’s nearest competitor in size, pull ed the “march Hare” stunt and thrice threw the discus direct ly at the score board and im provised press box, giving those present a very close shave each time. Rumors vary as to the cause of this wild ness but as yet the exact rea son is unknown. Aggies Beat SMU Split With Baylor And Lose To Frogs Team Returns From Road Trip Tuesday Night Win ning Half Of Games. The Mustangs of Southern Meth odist fell victims to the onslaught of the champion Aggies to the tune of 9-3 when the latter shelled two Pony pitchers for a total of fifteen base blows Monday after noon. The win from the Methodists gave the A & M crew an even break in four games played on the road trip which began Saturday .and kept them in the race for at least second place honors. SMU takes Two Pitchers “Bud” McLeod, starting hurler for SMU found the going much too rough in the second frame and was sent to the showers under a barrage of hits as the Aggies ran up a safe lead that was never threatened. Marshall Shaw went the route for the victors, keeping ten hits well scattered as his mates played almost perfect ball with only one miscue against them while their opponents made six. Davis Gets Six Hits Walter E. “Sweetie” Davis, all conference second sacker for the Aggies from Fort Worth and one of the leading hitters in the loop, paced the A & M batsmen with four safe blows in six trips to the plate. His batting average previ ous to the game Tuesday was .389. Against Baylor in Waco the Ag gies split a double header Satur day afternoon, losing the first by a narrow margin and winning easily in the second. The Horned Frogs were a trifle too tough for the second time this season, play ing this time in their own back yard, although errors by “Bugga” Moon probably accounted for their victory. Five Home Games The finish of this trip leaves the Aggies with seven games yet to be played, five of them on the home lot. The two final games of the season will be played against the Longhorns on Clark Field in Austin. Unlike those of previous years these games will not likely have any championship bearing since T C U is well on the way toward winning the banner.

Thomas’ racquet wielders suffered their third de feat of the season in losing to the T C U Horned Frogs, Tuesday afternoon on the Kyle Field courts in six straight matches in straight sets, being the worst defeat suf fered by an A & M tennis team in several years. Too little practice seemed to be the main reason for the Aggie downfall. Walsh, number one Frog player, defeated J. L. Cunningham, rank ing Aggie player, in two straight sets, 8-6, 6-4, while Alexander of T C U had very little trouble in subduing Robertson 6-0, 6-2. Hicks beat A. M. Emery 6-2, 6-2, and Williams of T C U took in Williams of the Aggies 6-3, 7-5. Walsh and Alexander then team ed up to defeat Cunningham and Robertson 6-4, 8-6, and Emery and Williams of the Aggeis ended the match by losing to Hicks and Wil liams 6-4, 7-5. Bryan Nursery & Floral Co. I (Intercollegiate Press) PRINCETON, N. J., April 26.— Cribbing in English classes in col leges and universities throughout the country is about to become a racket if activities revealed by the Princeton Alumni Weekly are ac tual. According to the Weekly, an or ganization has been formed whose purpose it is to supply college un dergraduates with four-year sets of essays for $100 cash. A representative of the group, says the Weekly, has visited the Princeton campus as well as those of Yale and Harvard in an effort to obtain perjured testimonials for the service, to be used in drum ming up business in midwestern and far western colleges.

She later worked at the Washington headquarters of the organization as congressional secretary, becoming executive sec retary and later vice-president in charge of organization and “get- out-to-vote” activities. In 1922 Mrs. Cunningham serv ed as chairman of the League of Women Voters Committee, helping to organize the first Pan-Ameri can Conference of Women.

Bring a Spring You’ll surely welcome Kellogg’s Rice Krispies these mornings. Delicious, toasted rice bubbles that are so crisp they crackle in milk or cream. What could be more refreshing—or so much of a change from the heavy, hot dishes of winter! And truth to tell, we don’t need so many heavy, hot foods in this age of steam-heated houses and closed automobiles. Cold touch of to breakfast weather just isn’t what it used to be. That’s why red flannels and bed warmers have disappeared—and why crisp, delicious cereals are becoming more and more popular. Kellogg’s Rice Krispies are rich in energy, easy to digest. Great for a bed-time snack. Drop in at your favorite restaurant tonight and just try them. Holidays and lack of practice had a telling effect on the A & M racqueteers as evidenced by the trouncing they received from T C U on the Aggie courts Tuesday. Not even one match could be sal vaged as the Aggies took a sound “white-washing” from the Frogs. The team has been handicapped materially by a lack of courts to practice on until recently and have yet to break into the win column, losing three sti’aight thus far. S. W.
