We plan to have two college boys and one of our own qualified sailors aboard each craft in these races. “We don’t propose to make this affair a part of the athletic pro gram of the colleges of Texas, but do hope to secure representation from the college in some sort of dignified manner . .■ .

The pistol team recently buried Iowa State College under, by 185 points. The Cadets shot a 1388 and Iowa plugged 1203. We suggest that the football team adopt Ann Sheridan as host ess next fall when they go to Cal ifornia to' play U. C. L. A. Ann is going to be in the Aggie rooting section at the game, according to a telegram received from her last Saturday night. You know Ann might be able to dig up a few dates out thar’ on the Coast where Oomph has taken the place of gold. That would he the stuff and no foolin’. “The Oomph gal hostess for the team with the Oomph.” Head in the Clouds— B.Y.D. SHORT with Grippers One of the things you’ll like best about our B.V.

C. Oates The Houston Buffaloes of the Texas League defeated the Aggies here yesterday 3 to 1 when Ted Wilks bested Sam Bass and Charlie Stevenson. A. & M. took a brief lead in the second frame when with one out Alsobrook doubled to left field. Jeffrey followed with a single that sent Alsobrook across the plate. Houston came back in the first of the third and scored two runs. Angle was hit by a pitched ball. Davis singled him to second. Wilks flew out, but Murtaugh advanced both runners when he rolled out pitcher to first. Antonelli then came through with a timely single that scored both runners before Wyrostek forced Antonelli for the third out. Stevenson replaced Bass on the mound in the seventh, and in the eighth the Buffs got to him for the last run. With two out Tom Winsett walked and went to sec ond on Endicott’s single to center. Stevenson then juggled an easy tap off the bat of Marshall and the bases were full. Angle came through with a single to score Winsett. The side was retired when Endicott tried to score on the same play and was thrown out center to the catcher. The Aggies got to Wilks for seven hits, including Alsobrook’s double, but in only one inning, the second, could they get more than one in an inning. The Buffs col lected eight, including a triple and two doubles, from the offerings of Bass and Stevenson, but they were kept pretty well scattered. Bass was the losing pitcher, giving up two runs and five hits in six innings. Jeffrey and Alsobrook collected two hits for the cadets while Stev enson, Scoggin and Stone were splitting up the other three. Endicott was the only visitor to collect, two hits.

INTRAMURAL HIGHLIGHTS By HUB JOHNSON It was all the Field Artillery’s last year in the annual intramural track meet as Battery F upper classmen ran off with the first place in Class A and Battery A fish won the Class B title. The meet this year will probably be just as good as that of last year’s if the boys are in shape. It will be run off next Sunday on Kyle Field. The same rules as last year will regulate this year’s meet. That is, a contestant may enter any num ber of field events but may enter only two track events.
