r TUI BATTALION Aggies Win rirst Two Conference ' L A AND MGOLFERS MEET WACO TEAM SATURDAY AT WACO Varsity Golfers Will Meet Rest Amateurs of City In First Match. mes From Nine The Aggie golfers journey xS ) Waco Saturday to do battle with a picked team representing the best that city can offer in the way • of amateur golfers. While it Is not definitely known as yet who will represent Waco it is a virtual certainty that Leland Hammsnd will be their number one man. Hammand has for the past several years won his share of the tourna ments and is recognised as one of the hardest men in the state to eliminate in match plaft Besides Hammand, other members of the Waco team will probably include. Russel Cog, A1 Barbee and Gaither Nowell, all who have reputations of being fine golfers. The Aggies number oae man, Frank Bolton of College Station, may be expected to meet Hammand and if his low scores in recent prac tices serve ss sn accurate indica tion of the golf he will play in Waco Saturday, then the Waco man will have a tough afternoon before he finishes the eighteen holes that are scheduled. Other men who will make the trip for A and M are J. B. Heinen, George Bargmann and W. H. Turner, whose positions on the team are in the order they are named. ► The match was scheduled in or der Xp five Be Aggie team a taste of firs^ cla|| competition before running into conference compete lion, the first df which comes April 28, when the Cadets go to Austin for a dual me«j|S with the Univer- Longhorns Defeat Farmer Trackmen; Irwin Sets Record I * j * # Roy Cook CpHcts Prediction* To Beat Edward* Yard Run. 1- Spring Football Aspirants 880 For the third time this ye tr the Texas Aggie ( track team llayed second fiddle to the TbxSs l diver sity thinly-cUtds as the Loni horns won the dual meet Saturdi y be tween the two schools by s score of 68-M.

None of the Rice boys were forc ed to extend themselves and not only did they win all the matches but they did so without the loss of a single set. Hess, one of the best racquet swingers in the conference, breez* ed through his match with John Bender, number one man on the Aggie team, without losing a sin gle game. Bob Allen, Rice’s number two, found a little sterner compe tition in George Cartwright but he was never in very serious trouble before winning by a score of 6-2, 7-5. In the other singles matches Otto Nachlas took W. O. Vela into camp 6-3, 6-3, and Fred Alter beat C. A. Dempwolf 6-2, 6-1.

With the exceptien of injuries to mem bers of the dash events, the Aggie team will be in the best condition it has been in this season. Clipping split seconds from the time has been the study of the team this week. Coach Anderson has been drjUing the boys intense ly on saving split-seconds on the starts and in rounding turns since the loss ! last week to Texas was mainly because of very small amounts of time lost in the starts and on the turns rather than be cause of lack of speed. Honk Irwin, champion Aggie weight man, will be given his hard est competition in the conference in this meet as the Owls bring their hopes in big Johnson who can throw the shot or discus dose to Irwio’s records. Although Irwin should cop the tbot rather easily, the outcome of the discus throw will be a question until the two heavies meet in this event. In the majority of the running events, Rioe is slightly favored with at least one good man in every eVent except the two-mile run. Their greatest hopes will be ia W ilson, fast distance runner, who runs the mile. Wilson nosed out Taylor, the Aggie’s hope, in both the meets, at Laredo and Ft.

When told by Coach Higginbotham that he wcsild pitch, Mooty said that.his birth day would be “taming the 4ild Steers." 1 M. E. MARTINEZ, relief pitcher Tuesday in the second Baylor game, had finished pitching the first half of the seventh inning and let the Bears down without a hit. The scorn stood 7-2 in favor of the Bruins when Martinez had entered the game but an Aggie rally had brought it to 7-5. ILa Martinez sat down and began to put on his coat, he turned and said “Boyee, I share vould like ta vin dis game”.

In the first game Jake Mooty limited the Bruins to three bingtes, no two of which came in the same inning. Although a bit wild, pass ing eight men, “Little Jake" was fup.-rb in the pinches, whiffing 10 prospective hitters when men were on the paths. The big guns of the Aggies be gan firing in the second inning when Bill 8odd, first up. blasted a line drive over short for a hit. Ixiwenstein got an infield hit and Con nelley advanced both runners with a sacrifice out. Jake Mooty hit s long fly to left and Sqdd scored after the catch.
