Coach Hijorinbot ham’s cham

more victories to their cause Fri

lor Bears in the opener and Mar-
tines pitched and hit his club to a
5 to 3 win over the Bears in the

head with a pitched ball and scor
ed with the winning run as Low-
enstein doubled to left.
Lowenstein was the heavy hit
ter of the day by collecting 3 hits
in 5 trips to the plate. Two of his
wallops were good for two base
blows. Tommy Hutto joined the
ranks of the Aggie home run slug
gers in this game.
“Jake” Mooty pitched a nine hit
ball game to win his fourth confer
ence victory’ of the season in as
many starts and his second win

“Marty” Martinez made his de
but as a starting hurler in the Ust
game with the Bruins and made
an exceptionally good showing by Masterson, 3b ..
limiting them to seven scattered Bolger, lb
hits. Marty was not satisfied with Smith, rf
pitching a good game but carried Corner, If L.
oft batting honors as well. The McKay, c
stocky right hander got three of Barnett,
the eleven hits the Aggies collect
ed off the delivery of Jimmie
Parks.
Mooty, playing in right field.
was a feature in a two run rally

win th« game. Steves, first up,
cracked 4 single over third and
Martinex advanced him with a sin

outfield. 4Hop M Reynolds was safe

To Double Win Over
Wilmer-Hutchins Hi
H. M. Pitner, Denton, colorful
pitching prospect of the freshmen,
did an “iron man" stunt Saturday
afternoon when he pitched Frenchy
Domingue’s freshman Aggies to
a double victory over the Wilbur-
11 utchins high sc hood. The talka
tive Pitner, who possesses much
at the gab of the famed “Dizzy"
Dean, was able to produce as well
a* talk Saturday when he limited
the visitors to a lone hit and turn-
tyl them back scoreless in the op

Watching the Aggies
BY CARROLL ROBERTS
Battalion Sporta Editor
The Texas A and M Farmer’s
track team will attempt to ride
Steers and pick feathers off of the
Owla at the same time tomorrow
afternoon as they meet Texas Uni
versity and Rice Institute in a
triangular track meet on Kyle
Field. This meet will bring to-
getbar the three recognized
strongest teams in the conference
and will give track fans an in
sight on how the conference meet
should turn out at Dallas, May |2.
la dual meets held already this
year, dope favors the Texas Ag
gies and the Longhorns to put on
a terrific battle for first honors.
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. ' 4 '
The turning point of the meet
will probably be determined on
how the Aggie field men come
through in their events, and on
who gets the breaks in the hur
dles.

Gregory, sports editor of the
Houston Post and asked him who
was winning the Southwest Con
ference baseball race In his col
umn, Gregory sai<| that it looked
like the Texas Aggies had an in
side hold on the championship. At
the first of the year, baseball
dopesters had the Aggies destined
to fight it out with Baylor for bot
tom place. But when such predic
tions were made, one thing was
overlooked—“That famous Aggie
Fight." The set jgws of s deter

has not yet been won and the two

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. In batting
practice, Steves said he eras
tempted to get in good practice
with his head, but when called to
bat, backed out
