• ,] As We i'i BY JOB BVAN8 n t f/ With the clow of the achool yeor and the nibwqucnt comple tion of one of the moat successful athletic seasons at Arri*l*n<J in recent history, adieus and fare wells are in order to that host of Afrie athletes who hare complet ed their final year of athletic com petition at A and M. Especially should credit for the food record that has been made this year be fiven Charlie Cum- minfi| Joe Merka, “Red” Aikens. and *]Buffra'* Moon, all of whom shouldered the ~*Mpoaaiblhy of captaining teams recognised .as ms sports, and did so with a most commendable efficiency. Much of the success of the football, basket ball, track and baseball teams is directly attributable to the leader ship of these men. Such names as Dotningue, Spen cer, Murray, Merita, Irwin, and Lowenstein will be long remem bered at Aggie land They truly deserve the niche they have won in the Aggie Hall of Fame. While “boquet throwing" seems to be the order of the day, let's give plenty of credit to Carroll Roberts, sports editor of the Bat talion for the year just finished, for the many hours of work and effort extended in behalf of ath letics at A. and M. Interest at this time, however, is in the direction of next year and speculations as to just what is in store for the Aggies in anolher year, rather than a review of the Keoson that is being left behind. True partisans of those M Fightin’ Farmers'* are already setting up a clamour that has been made and repeated every year since the fall of 1927, .... "Give us another conference football championship It will be with the clamour ring ing loud in their ears that Coaches Norton and Hubbard take over the reins of the football squad next fall for the first time. No d.>ubt is held as to the ability of the new Aggie mentors; they have dealt misery aplenty to football teams all over the South and Southwest for these past many years through the medium of thow famous Nor ton-coached Centenary Gentlemen. When the training season opens next fall Norton will be met by as imposing a group of returning let- termen, squadmen and sophomore players to represent this school in many moons. What they will ac complish is yet to fee seen, but it is no secret that the new coaches are well pleased with the mater ial they have to work with and their hopes and expectations for a highly successful season are run ning high. While it is too soon to offer any predictions as to what the foot ball outcome will be, we neverthe less feel safe in saying that the Aggies will be right in the thick of the fight from the start to fin ish. This forecast is offered with the full realisation also, that the Farmer gridiron schedule for next year is the most pretentious that has ever faced an Aggie football club. Not only do we play all mem bers of the conference, but games are also to be played with Temple University, Tulane, and Michigan State on our eleven game sche dule. The prospects in basketball for pext year are exceptionally rosy, Coach John Reid will have his appirijg bunch of sophomores ck intact. A world of credit is Coach Reid for the develop- ifeent of his sophomore material. With Johnnie Davis and Taylor Wilkins to form his Attack around, and Captain Breaxeale. Tohline, Carmichael, Bisbey and Hutto a- vailable, the Aggies basketeers will present a most formidable quintet that should deal plenty of THE BATTA1 I misery to evefyane they next year. The Aggie' ba«*t>«ll team that won the Soptl(west Conference baaefcal^ title 'this year should be an even stronger aggregation next year. The infield of Hutto. Voel- kel. Couser, And Connelly, that cliched so together all sea son, will return intact and with a year of valuhblc experience be hind them. While the absence of Ike Lowenstein in center field will be sorely felt. Coach '‘Little Hig” H igginfeotham will have Cochran. Reynolds. Jones, and Sodd back. Soitl who has been out practically all of this season, is without doubt the best outfielder in the conference sad can be count- ed on to add a world of strength .o the batting attack. Kd Steves, . chunky backstop from San Antpnio, will be back to take care of the fast ones that the great little Jgke Mooty will toss over. To aid ft^ooty in the box will be Martinet And several promld- ing hurlert from the Fish team. The club that boats this aggrega tion next year will be deserving of he conference championship. In track. Coach Anderson may be expected to have, as usual, ano- her of his stnong teams. Gradua tion will take its toll from the .rack team and it will be hard to eplace the Cook brothers, Riy'and Foy, “Honk’* Irwin. Tom Kenner- y. Captain “Rod” Aikens. and oth ers who finisl their college careers hii year, but with such men as Fohn Herring, ^ilbur Randow, Boh Taylor, and others around which to build a nucleus, the lads of the cinder path will show plenty of strength. l While it is utfll a long way off, wxt year seesrt* 'to be the year of lesliny for Aggie athletics. There is not a one of the major sports in which w*e should not be major threats to all .opponents. And so, intil next fallj we bid you all “a fond farewell’’.' DR. (JARDESd TO LEAVE Tir~ L Dr. I. 1.
