A. U. Junior Water Polo championship by winning over the University of Chicago by a •core of 4 to 2 in an over-time match. This team under Adamson has loot bet one game since the likable coach came here. ^ Karow’s baseball team is (loan dering around ia a tie for third place. The pitching staff has not been dependable. One day a pitch er starts a game and can last only an inning or two before he is lieved by a pitcher who pitches the next seven or eight innings without allowing more than one run. The next time this relief pitcher starts the gaaae and blows up after a couple of innings. They are not consistent. The only consolation that can be givw ia the fact that Texas plays fbar frames in a row with only one pitcher wbe has proven that he can win.
