Aggie Fish Trackmen Beat JTAC On Kyle Field Saturday 83-31 Several Varsity Prospects Are on Freshman Track Squad; Ricks Is High Man Dough Rollins is slipping in the art of picking the winner of a track meet before it starts. Sat urday he said that John Tarleton would beat his freshman team. Two hours later his freshmen had won the meet by taking 13 first places while the Plowboys were getting two. Albert Ricks, Jack Petty, Felix ■^ucek, Jimmie Knight, Pete Wat kins and Mann all seem to be very bright prospects for the varsity. The situation over on the baseball field is different.. Unless there is a lot of improvement shown soon, there won’t be a single outstanding man for the varsity next season, and that varsity is going to need several good men then to take the place of the varsity men graduat ing. Freshmen and Sophomores Had Better Toe The Line or Be Ready To Face The Music * * * * * * * * Aggies Lose Conference Baseball Lead There has been an awful lot of- comment about freshmen and soph omores sitting in the junior and senior sections at the baseball gam es. I am told that a soph or fish caught in these sections any more this year will suffer from the SENIOR COURT action. The Aggies will be hosts to the University of Texas baseball team here Saturday and a large crowd is expected. When a junior or se nior finds a fish or soph in a seat in their section it will be “Katy bar the gate”. Behind The Scenes TROUBLE Calls for Expert Attention Call for STUDENT CO-OP North Gate . The pistol team beat Michigan last week by a score of 1389 to 1380. That is as close as any team has come to heading the Cadets this season. They also shot against Utah but the Utah score is not in yet. The Aggies shot a 1402 in that match and it should be good enough to win. Utah claimed a lot last year that they didn’t observe. The golf team gave Rice a lick ing here last week, winning 5 to 1. The Cadets took both of the match es in the morning and then came back to win all but one in the af ternoon. Henry Hauser, Bill Mc Mahan, Richards and V. C. Denton were the members of the winning team. Here is what is going to happen in the sport world this week so far as the Aggie teams are con cerned. The baseball team meets Texas here Saturday at 2:30. The tennis team tangles with Baylor here Saturday. The track team goes to Fort Worth where they will enter a quadrangular meet against T. C. U., Baylor and S. M. U. The golf team goes to Austin for a match with Texas on Friday. The faculty tennis singles tour nament will be held here Saturday, starting at 2:00 o’clock.

Albert Ricks, fish, was the high point man of the meet, taking first place in the pole vault with 12 feet, in the broad jump with 22 feet three inches, and second in the high jump at 5 feet 10 inches when he withdrew in favor of Pete Watkins, Aggies top man, who had cleared six feet easily. Neither tried for record as they were en tered in other events running at the same time. Ricks totaled 13 points and gave promise of being highly valuable for the varsity in the coming three seasons.' Best performance of the day was when Jack Petty ran the 440 dash in 51.5. Petty also took the 220 dash and ran a leg on both 440 and mile relays for a 12% point total. Watkins won the high jump, was second in the 120 high hurdles and ran on the win ning mile relay team. Jimmie Knight, football end and fastest freshman on the 1939 squad, won the 100 in 10.4; was second in the 220 and ran a leg on both winning 440 and mile re lay teams.

Horseshoe pitching and speed- ball came through with one game each when B Chemical Warfare outpitched I Infantry 3 to 0, and 1st Headquarters Field Artillery beat H Infantry 4 to 0. The action in ping-pong is pick ing up and the average is now sixty per cent as three scheduled games out of five went off minus a hitch. A Chemical Warfare and C Coast Artillery each won a game by for feit. B Infantry took E Engineers 3 to 0, B Engineers in a 2 to 1 victory over the Infantry Band, and 3rd Combat Train Field Artillery’s 2 to 1 win over B Signal Corps filled the bill. “Gift” Pitching Costs Fish Nine Yearling Contest The Texas Aggie Fish pitching staff donated their game to the Texas University Yearlings on Kyle Field Saturday when they blew up in the fifth inning with the score 8-3, and gave the Year lings eight runs on a hit batter, seven straight walks and a dinkey single. From there the Yearlings collected another 10 runs while the Fish got but one more to make the final score 21-9. Cyger started ^ for Texas but after being nicked for one run in the first and two more in the second, he was taken out and Short stop Hatton took up the work. He gave up two hits, a walk and three runs and was back at short stop before the inning was over. Third baseman Creel came to his rescue and retired the side but did allow two runs in the third and another in the sixth. Badly tired in the ninth, Hatton came back from short to work the last inning and retired the Fish in order. Creel, pitching his first ball game, allowed but three hits and three runs in his seven innings 132 feet.

Bring Your Date to GEORGE’S During The Cotton Ball Eats - Drinks - Smokes GEORGE’S CONFECTIONERY New “Y” Yield to Frogs In Fort Worth; Score Is 4-1 Again this year the northern trip spelled chaos to the Aggie baseball team. With the two games in Dallas against Southern Metho dist called off due to sub-freezing weather and the 4 to 1 defeat at the hands of the Texas Christian Horned Frogs, the cadets return ed home in second place in the seasonal standing, leaving the Tex as University nine on top with an unblemished record. Durward Horner, who went down under the Aggies. in the second game here two weeks ago, held the Aggies to three hits, two singles by Doran and a triple by Pugh. Lefty Bumpers, opening the game for the Aggies, walked but two men but allowed enough to hit to give the Frogs two runs in the first. Stevenson replaced Bumpers in the second and allowed another run before the rally could be stopped. The fourth run came in the fifth inning on three hits. Pugh’s triple came in the sec ond. He scored on a long fly by Doran. The Aggies had eleven men left on bases and the Horned Frogs had five. Horner struck out three men, Bumpers two, and Stephen son seven.

Four errors be hind him helped account for the Aggie runs. Kamperman was the starting Aggie hurler and did all right un til the lamentable fifth when he hit the first man up and then went wild. He walked the next two men and was derricked with none out and the bases full. Rizer, a southpaw, came in and then walked the next four men up to force in four runs. He came out, with still none gone, and Les Peden went to work. He continued “gift day” by walking in another run. The next man got a hit and the last of the eight runs came over. He then retired the next three in or der. He weakened in the seventh, eighth and ninth to give the other 10 runs before Bando, another player who had never pitched, went to the mound and retired the side, fanning one of the three outs.
