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

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”.

. 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. Entries

Coach “Dough” Rollins’ Texas

a field day at the expense of the
John Tarleton Plowboys on Kyle
Field Saturday afternoon, taking
13 first places to the Plowboys
two and won, 83-31.
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.
Felix Bucek, football guard and
brother of Roy Bucek, l,etterman
guard and hurdler, won the discus
with a toss of 131 feet two inches,
bettering his high school mark by
40 feet.
Stewart won the 880 run and
Windham took the javelin for the
Plowboys only two firsts.

INTRAMURAL
HIGHLIGHTS
By Bob Myers
Speedball, horseshoes, volleyball,
and ping-pong games were over
shadowed this week by the annual
track meet that was held on Kyle
Field Sunday, but we’ll see more
games this week.
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.

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.

fanned 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.
