Razorbacks Play Here Friday And Saturday ****** ****** ****** ****** ****** E-CJeep' OATES BATTALION SPORTS EDITOR Aggie Swimmers Leave Friday on National Tour Pro Boxing Is Beginning To Smell; Louis Will Win Return Match With A KO Arkansas Sets New Scoring Record Of 75 Points with SMU Joe Louis won a split decision over Arturo Godoy a few nights ago in a 15-round show, and the next few minutes found the pro moters scheduling a return match for about June. Godoy might have put up a great fight, but again Louis might have carried the South American for the route to get a big crowd to a return match. The million-dollar gates are not appearing any more and the boys in New York are not getting the big easy “sugar” now. They ex pect that thousands of people would flock to a fight if they thought there was a chance of Louis being beaten, and it looks like that is just what they have been building up to. Coach Asks That All Refrain from Smoking During Basketball Games Boy Scout All-Americans Speak In Bryan; Kimbrough and Boyd Make Team John Kimbrough and Joe Boyd, spoke to the Boy Scouts of Bryan last week during Boy Scout Week. John and Joe were both selected on the first All-Scout All-American football team. That calls to mind the facf that football season has never really ended at A. & M. this year and now the boys are out on the prac tice field doing spring training work. It seems as if only last week we were all in New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl tilt. This football is getting to be almost a 12 months’ sport. Minor Sports Day Planned To Boost Student Support Captains or representatives of all minor sport teams will meet in room 110, Academic Building, to night to discuss the adoption of a three-day meet for minor sports to be held during this term. In the past, the turnout for most of the minor sports events has been very unrepresentative of the school spirit for which A. & M. is famous. Under the present system many of the teams travel far and wide to participate in games or matches with other teams in addition to their home schedules. It is proposed that each team in vite one opponent to College Sta tion to complete in Minor Sports Days. This will provide one game in each of the twelve minor sports within a period of three days and give the cadets an opportunity to give their teams the support that they deserve and need. . “Woody” Bell, brother of Beau Bell, once with the St. Louis Browns, figures to be a likely can didate for the San Antonio out field, after serving his freshman year with Springfield, where he batted .314 and showed plenty of power. Woody is a former Aggie great and was one of the “cream of the crop” group of St. Louis Browns whose pictures were carried in the last Sporting News in connection with a story telling how the Browns are trying to build up from their chains.

Arkansas set a new scoring rec ord last week when they scored 75 points against S.M.U. and that makes it look black for McQuillan’s point makers. Aggies Ailing Joe Adams, a long gangling lad, was the highpoint man in the con ference last season and he is still looping in counters from all over the court. He is teamed up with “Lanky” Frieberger, the six-foot eight center, who is also a point maker deluxe. Marty Karow is still holding an inside track on getting the head coaching job at Kansas . . . Botchy Koch, former All-American guard at Baylor, has accepted the coach ing post as line mentor at Tulsa University, which will play the Aggies in San Antonio October 5 . . . Moon and Bumpers are both eligible and that brings a sigh of relief to Marty Karow. We hope he can sigh some more in a couple of weeks.

HOUSTON MOTHERS TO GIVE ANNUAL COOKIE SHOWER HERE SUNDAY Swimming Team To BATTALION Hold Six Meets In Northern States Main Contest To Be With Illinois Athletic Club In Chicago Wednesday THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1940. PAGE 2 Aggie Cagers Nose S Out Houston Team Here Monday Night Aggies Beat Second Presbyterian Five 40-39 By Last-Minute Effort A. & M. will not be in the best of shape for the crucial series. Captain Woody Varner and “Big Dog” Dawson are on the ailing list with injured knees. Bill Hender son is still suffering from a touch of flu. J. T. Lang has never been able to get his ankle in shape since hurting it early in the season. Jude Smith is having a fight to over come a cold. Both games will start at 7:30 p. m. and interest points to a large crowd. Coach Hub McQuillan has issued a plea for the spectators to please refrain from smoking during the games. The lighting is very poor in the gym and the smoke adds to the problem besides affecting the players. The Aggie basketeers took an early lead against the Second Presbyterian team from Houston Monday night and held it until the last two minutes when they blew it, but were able to sink a “prayer” toss in the last minute to win 40 to 39. Second Presbyterian had a team of former college stars and they made things very interesting to wards the latter part of the fray. “Snipper” Norton, the former S. M. U. point maker, was held to two points, but Willis Orr, formerly with Rice, took high point honors with 13 points. Dawson led the scoring parade for the Aggies, registering five field goals and two free throws.
