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.

The Aggie team will enter two

Saturday in an intersquad meet

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,

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.
MATTY BELL left Saturday for

■COR SOMETHING to "satisfy"
you, means that it pleases you
-—that it's what you want. This
applies to cigarettes or anything.
A cigarette has to taste right—
not raw or too sweet. For a ciga
rette to "satisfy” it has to be mild
— not strong, not harsh.
You can prove for yourself
whether a cigarette is milder —
whether a cigarette tastes better.
And it'* lH*cau*e *mokt>r*
