    Chase Holland Gives Every Coach And
Player on Squad a Fine Tie Clasp
The clips have caused much com
ment wherever the players have
been. In fact, over at Waco Tues
day night a cute little girl saw
the one on Tommie Vaughn. She
punched her escort and said, “Look,
his tie clasp is just full of dia
monds.”
The clips are cut in such a way
that they do appear to be full of
diamonds.
Mr. Holland has a son enrolled
at A. & M.—Ira J. C. Holland Jr.
of the Field Artillery.
There is only one thing that this
writer and probably everyone else
that has seen the clasps can say:
they are indeed beautiful, and we
would give anything for one. The
players had better watch them very
closely!
Baylor Has Organized Booing Section
That Makes A. & M. Look Amateurish
Chase Holland, a jeweler and A.
& M. supporter, of San Angelo,
presented to every player and coach
on the football team a spur tie clip
like the one pictured below.
This writer has heard the Aggies
“boo” officials at contests here,
but the Aggie corps is not in the
same class with the booing sec
tion at Baylor.
Tuesday night the officials, Ab
Curtis and Dusty Boggess, called
a few close plays that were in fav
or of the Aggies. The Baylor stu
dent side of the gym went into
a huddle and came out with a well-
organized “BOO” followed by
hisses.
I don’t remember as I was too
busy marking up Baylor points,
but I believe that the Baylor band
even plays a few bars that fit in
with the booing.
This was short-lived though, as
Baylor went way ahead in a hur
ry and from then on the students
chanted nothing but, “Our team is
red hot!” That was true, too. The
Bears were RED HOT. Baylor
is playing as good a brand of ball
as any team in the league right
now.
The Bears have one of the best
gyms in the Southwest.
APPOLOGY TO HERB SMITH
This column stated a few days
ago that the watch that was giv
en to Herb Smith was misnamed.
We stated that blocking was his
weak point, but since that time
we have been corrected, and we
duly apologize. Joe Boyd stated
that it was Herb’s blocking that
made Joe an All-American. He
said, “You have to be a good
blocker to block that McCullum of
Tulane, and Herb did it in great
style.”
Beau Bell, former Aggie base
ball great and major league per
former, has been traded by the De
troit Tigers to the Cleveland In
dians. Beau stated that he is
very happy over the trade.
Manning Smith, one of the as
sistant Aggie coaches, failed to get
the head coaching job at Centen
ary, because Hanna, another for
mer Gent star, was selected for the
position instead. “Siki” Sikes, the
greatest end in Aggie history un
til Herb Smith came along, was
also considered, but Sikes is al
most a fixture where he is.
Collars may choke, shirts
buckle and tails ride up.
But your dancing feet are
superbly at ease in Mans
fields. Ease that will make
you want to dance until
the stars melt in the sky.
Easy on prom-time
budgets, too.

Baylor Cagers Down Aggies 68-36 Tuesday Night
Baylor Leads
Most of Game
Shahan, Bear Captain,
Lost for Rest of Year
By Eugene C. “Jeep” Oates
Baylor continued to serve notice
on the world that it is not to be
counted out of the basketball race
yet, as it annihilated the Aggies
Tuesday night to the tune of 68
to 36 in Waco before a crowded
gym full of Baylor partisans.
The Aggies had the lead but one
time, that being early in the first
minute when Henderson made
good a gift shot. From then on it
was all Baylor in general and
Vaughn, Frivalsky, and Bryski in
particular. Frivalsky scored 12
points in the first half and with
the help of Vaughn who scored
eight in this period, the Bears
held a 31 to 19 advantage at the
half time.
Henderson, the high scoring lad
of the Aggies, was held to four
points, two free throws in the first
minutes and a basket in the last
ten seconds.
Coach McQuillan, in trying to
cross up the Bears, started Dun
can at a guard in place of Jude
Smith. This did not work as was
planned. In fact nothing worked
against the Bruins who are play
ing the best basketball of any team
in the conference at this time.
Anytime the Bears tossed the
ball in the air it went in the hoop
for two points. They kept the
ball most of the game, partly be
cause they were taking it away
from the bewildered Cadets.
Jude Smith was high-scorer for
the Aggies with 10 points. Daw
son was next in line with nine.
The Cadets played the last few
minutes against the Bruin reserves
and at that time they were able
to hold their own.
Shahan Lost
Capt. Happy Shahan, star player
of the Bears, is lost to the team
for the remainder of the year. He
did not play against the Aggies
and it is doubted that he will be
able to play again. His eyes have
gone bad and he has been advised
to quit the sport. The doctors hope
that he will be able to play in the
Texas games.
There were several A. & M.
students over to witness the game.
Bill Audish, Walemon Price, Tom
mie Vaughn and Jimmy Parker
were strutting their new football
jackets which were drawing a great
deal of comment.
Baylor used ten players, while
the Cadets used nine in trying to
stop the onslaught.
The Aggies will have a layoff
for about two weeks for final ex
ams before they start back to play
ing.
INTRAMURAL
HIGHLIGHTS
By HUB JOHNSON
Battery E Field Artillery is ac
claimed winner of the Class A
water polo championship... The ‘ole’
intramural outfit used a crew of
eleven men to down the 3rd Com
bat Train squad.
Last year the same team played
in the semi-finals but was topped
by A Cavalry.
This win puts a new light on
the upperclass standing for the
time being, with another Field Ar
tillery team creeping into the top
places.
* * * *
Games for the remainder of the
semester are lacking so as to give
all the time one might need to
“cram”, but immediately after the
resuming of classes week after
next the finals in Class A touch-
football and handball will com
mence. This might be a help to
some of the teams or it could be
a hindrance, for it still remains a
reality that new and old students
come in at mid-term and more of
the same also leave for one reason
or another.
* * *
Again it is called to the at
tention of the freshmen that they
must register for Physical Edu
cation for the second semester un
less they have already been credit
ed with the course. Those fish
who are taking some sports activ
ity for credit or those engaged in
intramural games are required to
register.
* * *
A note to the managers from
“Mr. Penny” thanked them for the
cooperation during the past semes
ter and wished them luck on their
finals. This is passed on to the
students as well.

Baylor Cagers Meet
T.C.U. Team Saturday
WACO, Feb. 1—The Baylor
Bears hope to improve their place
in the Southwest Conference bas
ketball standings here Saturday
night when they go up against
the T.C.U. Horned Frogs.
Coach Ralph Wolf’s charges had
no rest this week following their
tilt with the Texas Aggies and
put in a busy week polishing up
their offensive tactics to throw at
the Homed Frogs who have failed
to show any scoring power in their
loop games.
The Bruins’ defensive play was
up to par in the Aggie game, and
the Bears had no trouble finding
the basket on most of their shots.
The Bear mentor brought in sever
al new offensive formations to be
used in the T.C.U. battle.
Saturday night’s game will be
the last conference game for the
Bears before meeting the Texas
Longhorns in Austin Feb. 10 and
will give the Baylor five a whole
week to get ready for their all-im
portant tilt with the powerful Tex
as quintet.
Gray foxes, formerly observed
rarely except at night, now are
seen frequently crossing Texas
roads, Game Department biologists
report.

Ad. Saturday
Bill Buchanan and Jude Smith, much alike and much different.
Smith was a transfer from Tarleton a couple of years ago and will
complete his playing this year.
Buchanan is also a transfer, coming from Weatherford Junior
College. He lettered as an end on the football team last fall. Although
not likely to make the grade in the cage sport now, he will see much
service.
Smith is the only married man on the quint. He is also a track
letterman.
