Win Water Polo Title
* The trfcck team lost at Houaton,
the baseball team won and lost,
the polo team baa won and loot,
the pistol teem was finally trim
med, the rifle team wins and loeea,
bat the water pole team stepped
oet and got the Afffies national
recognition when they 1 won the
National A. 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.
