I t For many years when athletic teams of these two schools have met a Southwest Conference title has been at stake. At the end of this week and the beginninff of . next, within four days, teams from these two schools will meet to de- • termine the Championshipa in two major sports. THE TRACK CHAMPIONS will be determined Saturday at Dallas. Texas has, according to Clyde Lit tlefield. the strongest track team to ever represent that school un der his coaching and on the other hand, the Aggies have the strong est team that Coach Anderson has had since he has been at Aggie- land. The odds are slightly with the Longhorns who have a wealth of new material. THE BASEBALL CHAMPIONS will be determined Monday and Tuesday at Austin. Although they have a tic cinched, the Aggies need to win one of the games from the Longhorns to win the champion ship but the Longhorns are de termined to share the honors by sweeping both games from the Cadets. On the other hand, the Ag gies are determined to take at least one game and maybe two to take the whole pie in the cham- pionahip. . . | / THE TWO GAME SERIES at Brenham between A and M and Texas this Wednesday and Thurs day will have no bearing on the conference baseball race except as a criterion to judge on who will win the two final baseball games. Both teams will be shooting their best barrels to show the other wiwt they are going to do in Aus tin, and tW psychological effects of the games may have some bear ing on the deciding series. CAPTAIN “REDBIRD” AKINS showed what Coach Anderson calls ^Intestinal fortitude” in the tri angular meet with Rice and Texas last Thursday. After running a gruelling 440 race to place third, he came hack later to enter the 880, and equally hard race, to place "“T- ^ ~ second. la a previous meet wi Abilene Christian College, Akins entered these two events but not being in tip Utp condition had e- nough trouble that would discour age many runntrv. But Akins came back in the triangular meet with determination and looked good. To add to this, Akins will run both races plus a lap in the mile relay at the conference meet. Such a spirit of determination and fight is the spirit of every one of the twenty-two track men who will represent Aggifland at Dallas Sat urday. and although the team, ac cording to "do^ef. will be slightly the underdogs, such a spirit won’t ^HURLING .1 JAKE MOOTY showed some of the same stuff mentioned aboVe Saturday after he had lost a game Friday and NOT after he had been knocked out of the box as erroneously stat ed in some press stories—when he told Coach Hig that he wanted to pitch the second game and show those Horned Fri*s a thing or two. Mooty felt that hh was “right" Sat urday and felt that he could hold the Frogs. He pitched and the T C U boys got fenly five hits and four runs, none of the runs being earned ones. The Aggies are rid ing at the top ef the conference Standing by such determination as this. TWO OTHER CHAMPION SHIPS of the Southwest will be determined this week, but they will not be so much between the Aggies and Longhorns as the base ball and track is. The conference golf championship will be deter mined at Fort Worth Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and the ten nis rhampionshi|| will be decided during these same days at Waco. These sports are not recognised as minor sports for this year by the college, but teams have been or ganised and the Aggies will be represented in the meets. The two sports will be redognised as minor sports next year. • (Continued to page 5> TRONG BID FOR ” ' 1 f /• * * * * * • J * * I - Cadet Nine Meets CROWN SA * * . |*l rns In Brenham [Today r ’’ l 7 - • T( It isn't the heat, its the humidity * ... iha! annoys p'/n ss insulators .too/ 2nd Exhibition Tilt ^Will be Played Saturday [00n5 PITCH \y Ijonghorns Two In Austin Playing four games within the neit seven days with their arch rivals, the University of Texas Steers, who will be struggling for a tie in Southwest Conference baseball race, the pupils of Ros well Higginbotham will play the first two of the games today and tomorrow at the Brenham Maifest then go to Austin Monday and Tuesday to settle the dispute in the last two conference games of the season. The games at Brenham will not count in the conference ■IfRMnff. Each team will be watching the other in the two exhibition games at Brenham for weaknesses they can take advantage of in the Aus tin clash. Jake Mooty will likely face Lofty Bennett in each opening game while Captain Wilson Moon whose arm seemingly has recup- era tad will get the call for the second game with Bohn Hilliard as a probable opponent. The show ing of Moon in this game will have a lot to do with Coach Higginboth am’s choice for the second game in Austin. The Aggies need only one victory at Austin to cinch the title, but the Steers will be bearing down all the way since two Aggie defeats will mean a tie for the Dischmen. The Steers Will be at their best when the Aggies make their final appearance of the year at Austin! The Aggies will have a harder hitting club to face the Steers than was on the field against the Uni versity nine here. The on-coming Bennett will encounter some real difficulties when the Army turns such heavy artillery as Loweo- stein. Stevea, Martinex, Weaver, Mooty, Connelley, and Hutton on the breast works of Clark field. The lefthander has a good record including a shutout against the Bears but the Aggies.have upset more than one good pitcher this t season. Mooty, who proved he could pitch first class baseball by com ing back stronger in the last game with T C U, will be serving them up to the Steers ^in the opener. Mooty has won a game from the Steen already this season. CONFERENCE STANDING Won Lost Pet. 1. A aad M _J 2 .800 2. TexM « 4 -600 S. T C U 5 5 .500 4.

When it’s humid, a film of moisture forms on the glass. The more humid, the thicker the film — and the more electrical current escapes! Im portant factors governing amount of leakage are the chemical nature of the glass, its shape and age, the amount and kind of dirt on its surface.

The track and field events were concluded for intramural as pirants at Kyle Field last Sunday afternoon, leaving only three un finished sports on the intramural calendar. These three sports are play ground baseball, golf and swim ming. The winners in each league in playground ball will be deter mined in a few days and the play off for the championship will be held the latter part of the week. In golf, teams have advanced to the quarter-finals, the second round having just keen finished. Swimming Coming The final intramural event of the year, swimming, will be held on the nineteenth and twentieth of this month. Preliminaries will start at 3:00 P. M. on the nine teenth and the finals in all events will begin at same time on the fol lowing day. The following events will be held in swimming: 100 foot free style; 100 f«K»t breast stroke; 100 foot bock stroke; 200 foot free style; fancy diving, and the medley re lay. In the medley each of the three men on each team will swim 100 feet. The men swimming the first lap will swim the back stroke, the second lap will be the bnast stroke, and the third lap will he free style. Each team that is entered re ceives 60 points, and a team is considered as such when men are entered in half or more of the events. The winner of the meet re ceives 30 points with 16, 10, 6, and 1 points going to the winners of the neat few place Aggies Cinch Tie For Pennant With Split With Frogs i | mkkmmmmm** I * Jake Mooty PitcheH Both Came*. lAMing Firnt R-5 and; Winning Second by 6-4 I I- The Aggies cinched 6 tie for the Southwest Conference baseball title Fridta and Satarday when they split two loosely played gam- es on the local park with the T C U Christians, ‘yake” Mooty, ace hurler and “iron man" of the pitch- mg staff was ba the mound in both contests.

Big “Slim" Kinsy who, because of his genUemaaly bifid*. . his handsome face, and aeatness of his supposedly white Uniform, ac quired the nickname “goon” from the spectators, was not in the best of form, showing severs! streaks of wildness and received loose sup port from his mates, yet he tight ened in the pinches to strike out Aggies when any kind of a hit would mean a run. . t The Christians scored first in the second inning on a double, a single and an Aggie error.

The Froggies scored twice more in the eighth on a walk, a hit batter, a sacrifice hit, a base knock and a Wild pitch. This was sufficient for the Frog right-hander to win. Jacks, T C U first baseman, put an extra tally in for good measure in the ninth by clouting ene over the center- field fence. It was Jack’s second extra base blow of the day.

In dual, triangular, and open^ meets held already this seaSon. both Texas and A and M have shown to have the strongest track teams in the history of either school, and from the closeness of the results of those meets, the teams should be fairly evenly matched, although Texas has beaten the Cadets four times by comparatively small scores. The hopeful thing for the Ag gies, however, is the fact that the Farmers have been growing and improving steadily as the season progresses, and under the careful guidance of Coach Anderson, will be in better condition and strong er in every event for this meet than they have in any held up to this time. Injuries hampered the Cadets earlier in the year, and Varsity Netmen Lose To Baylor Saturday The tennis team of Bailor Uni versity made a visit on the A and M campus last Saturday. May 6, and when they left they carried with them a 4-2 victory over the Aggie netters. The court* were in good conditions and the jonly det riment to the play between two evenly matched teams was a wind which occasionally was disturbing. The best tennis of the matches was played in the doubles engage ment between Cartwright and Vela of A and M and Deeley and Brad ley of Baylor. The first, set was taken by Baylor 6-8, after the l4ad had changed hands several times. The next set, which was won by the Aggies 10-8, was even more hotly contested.
