Houston Yacht Club To Sponsor Boat Race;
Want Sailors For Race From A. & M.
This column has received a letter
from Paul Richmond of Houston
which reads as follows:
“The Houston Yacht Club is go
ing to sponsor an intercollegiate
sailboat race in the club-owned Fish
Class Sloops June 8th and 9th. We
have seven such boats and hope to
have representatives from at least
seven Texas colleges. These boats
ordinarily carry just three people
aboard during a race. 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 . .■ . We expect
to put on a real show this year and
give first and second place tro
phies along with some tokens for

Fellows, here is the chance for
some sea-loving boys. Sailing is
one of the best sports that ever
happened and here is a chance for
some of the best sailing in this
part of the country. If there is
anyone interested, see this writer
for furthur particulars. You can
reach me at room 101, dorm. 8, or
at Phone 4-7574.
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.”

Stephenson,
Bass Pitchers
For The Cadets
By E. 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.
Pistol Team Loses

Forest Service Is
Donor of $831 To
Student Loan Fund
An increase in the Student Loan
Fund was made recently when a
check for $831.05 was received from
the Texas Forest Service for the
purchase of lumber from a tract
of land that was donated to the
college in 1928 by John H. Kirby.
Mr. Kirby, prominent lumber
man presented the college with
600 acres of land, which in his
words—“is to foster scientific
study of forestry in East Texas
and create a student loan fund
for woi’thy boys, preferably those
taking forestry courses.”
The gift of land is located near
Warren, in Tyler County, about 45
miles north of Beaumont. At the
time the tract was acquired it
contained but little merchantable
timber, but had a fair second-
growth of longleaf pine. The deed
to the tract stipulated that all
income by sale of timber be given
•to the loan funds and administer
ed by the Association of Former
Students.
A great deal of work has been
done in removing hai’d wood growth
from the land, fire hazards have
been eliminated, hogs have been
kept out and several reforestation
moves have been carried out.
ANNUAL WATER
CARNIVAL TO BE
HELD THIS WEEK
Next Friday and Saturday Coach
Art Adamson and the Texas Aggie
Swimming Team will sponsor the
third annual Aggieland Water
Carnival. For the first two years
the carnival was only a one-night
affair, but this year it is expected
to be better than ever by having
two nights with programs crowded
with pulchritude and thrills.
The pulchritude will be furnished
by twelve girls from the widely
heralded Tulsa Aquatic Club. The
Oklahoma girls are featuring a
new lighted swimming formation
which is affected by using lights
strapped to their bodies.
A diving exhibition will star
Bubba Reeves and Paul Ketelsen,
while New Ewing will give lessons
in comic diving. For an extra-rich
ingredient in the diving division,
Ketelsen will do his famous fire
dive. In the fire dive, the diver is
covered with gasoline which is ig
nited a’nd the fire is quenched by
the water into which the diver
goes.
Also on the program will be a
water polo game for each night.
Friday the Aggies will vie with the
Aggie All-Stars and Saturday will
Rifle Team Beaten
In Handicap Match
By TSCW Shooters
Hollywood “Oomph Girl”
To Root for Aggies In
UCLA Game Next Season
When the news services Satur
day evening carried the account of
the rifle match between the girls’
team from Texas State College for
Women and the A. & M. R.O.T.C.
team, Ann Sheridan, comely War
ner Brothers “oomph girl”, rushed
to a telegraph office in Hollywood
and wired her congratulations to
the Aggie riflemen.
She wired them congratulations,
not for winning the regular match,
but for arranging a second handi
cap match which was won by the
fair visitors.
The first match ended 784 to 725
in favor of the A. & M. team, but
the handicap match was won by
the girls 514 to 487, the girls hav
ing been accorded a 40-point margin
by the cadets.
“I rejoice that the spirit of gal
lantry still lives in Texas”, Miss
Sheridan wired.
“It was wonderful for the A. &
M. Rifle Team to shoulder an undue
handicap in order that their fair
visitors would outshoot them.
“To the Rifle Team of A. & M.
and to the cadet corps of 6,000 gen
tlemen, I send affectionate congrat
ulations and regards.
“Look for me in your yelling
section when A. & M. plays U. C.
L. A. in October. Cordially yours.”
Signed “Ann Sheridan”.
Members of the Rifle team ap
preciate the wire from Miss Sher
idan, and expressed a desire to
have autographed potographs of
the pretty Texas girl who has had
a tremendous build-up in Holly
wood. This desire was transmitted
to Miss Sheridan Monday and be
fore long it is felt certain that the
pictures will arrive.
Several weeks ago the Harvard
Lampoon movie critic took a dirty
dig at Miss Sheridan by nominat
ing her as the movie actress “least
likely to succeed”. To which Miss
Sheridan replied that she was
“making about $100,000 per year
and a survey of Harvard graduat-
meet the Houston Water Polo
team.
Tickets go on sale Wednesday
and may be bought from any mem
ber of the swimming team or at
the swimming pool from Coach
Adamson up until Friday at noon.
The proceeds from the Carnival
go to defraying expenses of the
water polo team’s annual trip.
es shows their incomes a few notch
es below that figure”.
Yale took up the issue in defence
of the Texas movie actress, but
outside of that it seemed for a time
as if she hadn’t a friend in the
world; but along came the Aggie
marksmen and furnished her with
the spark that might set off a
very friendly relationship with A.
& M. College if the preliminary
opening is taken advantage of.
There’ll be quite an exodus of Ag
gies to California next fall, and it
wouldn’t be a bad idea to have Miss
Sheridan on deck when the Aggies
arrive to take over Los Angeles.
She might have some ideas about
how to enjoy a visit to the West
Coast, and the members of the
football squad could do worse than
appoint her as their official host
ess out there.
That’s a broad hint! How about
it, Kimbrough, Thomason, Robnett,
Pannell, Vaughn, Dawson, Her
mann, et al?
