First action of the 1934 Aggie baseball team will be seen next Higginbotham puts his squad through the first practice game of the season. The opponents have not been definitely decided upon but will probably be some amateur team from Houston. Although rain and cold weather hampered baseball practice the lat- * ter part of last week, the squad trained under the stadium and held a number of blackboard meetings. Fair baseball weather greeted the Aggies this week and they were able to work out on the diamond - Monday for the first time in sev eral days. Bill Sodd was “layin ’em against the fence” in batting practice this week and looks as though he will again make things tough for Southwest conference pitchers. Bob Connoley, who held down 'third base for the Aggies last year and who hit .370 in the conference, was hitting the ball to all parts of the lot Monday afternono. Ike Lowen- stein is also showing up well in batting. Coach Higginbotham is groom ing his ace pitchers “Jake” Mooty and “Bugga” Moon for heavy duty by allowing them to bear down more in practice since the weather has reached baseball temperature.

All the men to make this trip will be selected next Saturday in an intersquad meet with the exception of the weight men who will have their competi tion meet Wednesday. I . ! k Outstanding performances to date by members of the team have been made by Roy Cook, who ran the half mile in 2:01 A, with R. E. Taylor only two yards behind him. John Herring, who ran the low hurdles in 24 seconds, was only .6 of a second behind the conference record set by Charley Casper of T C U. Other outstanding per formances have been made by Hec tor Fuentes who ran the mile in 4:39.5, and Sam Logarv who has high jumped 6 ft. The squad has been increased by the addition of Joe Merka and •‘Acorn” Breazeale. high jumpers, and Ray Murray, quarter miler, this past week when they finished their basketball work, f The Aggie chances have been somewhat hurt by the injuries of Jack Kohler and Foy Cook, but ac cording to coach Anderson, these boys wjll likely be ready for ac tion before the first dual meet at Austin April 7. which has juat been finished will be in activity for the next thirty days. Baseball, which is now get ting $ real start with the clear weather, track, and football are all going on. In intramurala, horseshoe pitch ing, volleyball, and wrestling are holding the limalight with boxing almost ready to start. Wrestling matches are holding the major in terest among intramurala with matches that ana held each after noon drawing large crowds. The bouts are held in the main gym nasium this year to accommodate the large audiences. In the minor aports, rifle shoot ing, tannis, golf, and swimming are all now in activity. In sports not recognised by the college, there is fencing,, polo, and tumbling. Such a variety of sports offers everyone, no matter what his in terests, some kind of athletics to take"'0art in. ij THE MOST VALUABLE man to receive the Aggieland Pharmacy trophy in basketball has not been selected yet. Merka will receive the Captain's trophy and the most valuable man will probably be taken from Taylor Wilkins, John ny Daves, or Monte Csrmichak-I. Wilkins has been one of the out standing guards in the conference this year, Carmichael is probably the beet defensive player on the team, and Johnny Davis gives plenty of life to the party. Many times he has dribbled the entire length of the floor to sink a bas ket and as many time he has mere ly reached out and taken a ball away from an unwary opponent. There is litle doubt who has really been the most outstanding man on the Aggie Team, however. That man is Joe Merka, center and cap tain.
