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.

Coach W. H. 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.

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.

“The Work of the League of For FOUT Years Of
Women Voters” will be the sub- tv • a a

ningham, associate editor of the
extension service staff, before the
Social Science Seminar Monday
evening at eight o’clock. The meet
ing will close the current schedule
of the seminar.
Mrs. Cunningham assisted in the
inauguration of the National
League of Women Voters in Chi
cago in 1920. 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. The
conference was very successful,
numbering among those attending,
twenty-two official delegates from
as many South and Central Amer
ican countries.
For three years she was the
Washington personal representa
tive of the vice-chairman of the
National Democratic Committee.

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.
