Although the Longhorns beat out a victory early in the season over the Aggies. Coach Anderson’s team has grown somewhat since that time and may spring a sur prise on the longhorns. The Aggies are rather weak in the relays, but in other phases have been growing stronger as the season progresses The addi tion of Herring in the dashes has given W'allender and Grueinson of the Steers something to worry about in this quarter while his consistent betterment of his times in the hurdles gives the Aggies j the edge in the jumping runs. An interesting race of the day will j be held in the 440 as Cox. captain of the Steers, Akins, captain of * ■■ ■{ km'im if »• the Aggies, and Brothers, Rica, again meet in this event. Both Brothers and Cox have beaten Captain Akins in thin race but the distances have always been dose. In the field of the giants, the Aggies hold a considerable edge “Mighty" Honk Ir- easily beaten John- and Hodges of Texas in dual igeets in both the Abdt and diaous. The pole vault will be a question as Alexander and Hester again mfet Sewell and Vance of the Longhorns who have beaten them in meets already held this | season. Tom Kennerly’s leg injury has healed and points should be added to the Aggie’s score from the broad jump, while in the high jump, Sam Logan and Joe Merka have beaten both Texas And Rice in the dual meets held.

At the first of the year, baseball dopesters had the Aggies destined to fight it out with Baylor for bot tom place.

But the championship has not yet been won and the two lacking gamea for it have to be won from the two other strongest clubs. “CHIEF” STEVES of the Aggie catching staff, who has caught every game so far this season, has found a - new way to make home runs. In the first game with Bay lor, the Aggies came to b*t in the ninth inning with a tied score. Steves politely batted the ball with his head, and although some what dased, went to first base. Ike Lowenstein then poked a double against the fence to score Steves for the winning run.
