The word ‘ Fighting’* cam again
be placed in front of “Texas Ag
giee” without having to hand out
a pinch of salt with it. The Texas
Aggie 1934 Southwest Conference
Baseball Champions hip club
brought this word back to the name
of the A and M athletic teams by
coming out the way it did this year
to win the championship.
At the beginning of the season,
T C U and Texas were doped to
come out on top with A and M and
Baylor, neither one supposed to
have a chance, doped to fight it
out for the basement position.
Even after the firet preseason
games had been played, the Aggies
were still looked upon with doubt.
But after the firat game against
Baylor, fans began to hope that,
maybe the Cadets would be ia the
fighting at least for second posi
tion. When the second Baylor game
was played, the team got in a ter
rible hole and at. the sixth inning
was trailing by 5 runs. Under such
discouragement, the real fight and
spirit of the team popped out. Not
recognising defeat until the last
lugg+s
t all tM
these
out was made, the
of the cadets’ bats
took the lead, forging ahead to win
the game. Marty Marlines was
the hero of this gam* !>«•< suse of
his excellent pitching during the
final innings and also because of
the fart that his home run in the
eighth inning brought ia the tying
score and the winning tolly.
No one except a few. optimistic
cadets, the coach, and ! the ball
players expected to dwsap (the
Steers off their feet in the two
game series here. The fast had not
been accomplished in eleven years
and do pester* thought they were
doing the Aggies a favor by pre
dicting a split “Jake” Mooty, on
his twenty-first birthday pitched
the first game and rode the Steers
to a victory for the Faymers. It
would have taken a super team to dictions ( They

games.
TCU’s Homed Toads put the
Aggies down for the fifst defeat

suffered. After the AgRies had
won the first air-tight game 6 to

would be necessary t^ beat at
least one game from eac| of them
in order to have a clear title. First
they took Baylor for two; then at

fine and his arm turned'into iron
