Watching the Aggies
BY CARROLL ROBERTS
BatUlioa Bpurts Editor
AGGIES VS. LONGHORNS! 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

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. •

\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.

Even glass insulators behave badly toward tele
phone currents when humidify is high. This has
been proved by experimertts at Bell Telephone
Laboratories.
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.
Through exhaustive studies, telephone men have
developed more efficient types of glass KBulators
— and are seeking ways to make them still better.
Close attention to every detail of Bell System
equipment leads to constantly improving service.

Coach Frank Anderson and twenty-two Texas Aggie

regular dog-fight between the two arch-ritals, the Fighting
Texas Aggies and the University of Texaa Longhorns.

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

The tennis team of Bailor Uni

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. At one time dar
