You Can Wrap Up The Bunting And Send
It to Austin in Care of Billy Disch
You can wrap up the conference
baseball flag and mail it to Texas
right now if you like. The Aggies
were the only ones who appeared to
have anything to say in dispute of
taking it before the season started
and they have fallen by the way-
side in their last two times out to
put them out of the race. While
the Cadets have been dropping
games to inferior opponents, Tex
as has been playing “Hitler” and
their shock troops have gathered
in about three-quarters of a
hundred runs in the last week.
A. & M. still has a chance, but it
means that Texas will have to be
knocked over at least three times
and the Aggies have three games
with the Steers, so they will have

to win all three of them which is
out of the question.
If A. & M. wins over the Steers
here Saturday it will take the help
of the entire student body and the
band in addition to the baseball
team. Several times we have seen
Texas blow up here when the racket
got to going in full sway.
Coach Karow said after the Rice
game that he didn’t mind being
beat by a better team, but to let
teams like Rice and T. C. U. do it,
was just too rough.

Texans Over Aggies Will
Sew Up Conference Race
It will be do or die for the Texas
Aggie baseball team when they
meet the league leading University
of Texas Longhorns here Saturday
afternoon at 2:30 o’clock.
The Cadets were leading the race
until they took to the road and
lost games to T. C. U. and Rice,
and the Steers went ahead by
scoring three-quarters of a century
of runs, almost as many as a cham
pionship team will score in a full
year.
Coach Karow’s Aggies are pla
gued with batting slumps, and un
less they begin to hammer the ball,
they will have to depend on out
standing hurling and a tight de
fense.
A victory for the Longhorns will
just about sew up the bunting for
them and eliminate the Aggies as
contenders.
Chax-lie Stevenson, Austin, soph
omore righthander, or Walter
Bass, Houston, junior letterman
righthander, will draw the pitching
assignment against Melvin Deut-
sch, ace of the Longhorn staff.
Texas has always had trouble in
beating the Cadets at College Sta
tion. Usually the stands, seating
5,000, are crammed with rabid,
yelling fans and the 210 piece
Aggie band, a combination that is
hard to beat when it gets warmed
up. It has been at home that the
Cadets have won their four games
with little trouble and the Steers
will have their work cut out for
them Saturday.
The Aggie lineup probably will
find Cecil Ballow, Stephenville, at
shortstop; Jack L. Lindsey, Kurten,
at second base; Bob Stone, Hol
land, third base; John Scoggins,
Collinsville, left field; Dave Also-
brook, Brenham, center field; Jack
Cooper, Dallas, right field; Marion
Pugh, Fort Worth, first base; Jack
Doran, Midland, catcher; and Char
lie Stevenson, Austin, or Walter
Bass, Houston, pitcher.

A. & M. YS. HARVARD ... A. & M. WINS!
Aggie Fan Praises The Battalion’s
Defense of ’Lampooned’ Actress
Ex-Aggies and A. & M. suporters everywhere are taking
up the fight in behalf of the Harvard-slandered, glamorous Texan
Ann Sheridan. Running neck-and-neck with the editors of Har
vard’s Lampoon are “Backwash’s” contention that the Warner
Bros, “oomph gal” is definitely “the belle who HAS succeeded
in the hearts of Aggies everywhere”, and a recent Battalion
editorial of similar tone. Leading the parade of comment is the
following letter from a native Houstonian, addresed to columnist
George Fuerman:
•
“I have been a great fan and follower of the Texas Aggies
since 1927, and also have kept in contact with A. & M. news as
much as possible. In reading a late copy of The Battalion at
the home of a friend who has a son in your school, I noted
with interest what your column and an adjoining editorial
had to say in respect to Ann Sheridan.
“Miss Sheridan is a Texas girl who has recently made good
in Hollywood. In my opinion, the cheap attacks on her abilities
made by the editors of the Harvard paper were purely publicity
gags on their part, as well as being wholly unfair. It is my belief
that the editor of The Battalion, you, and the Aggie student body
are to be highly congratulated on coming to the defense of this
truly capable Texas girl.
*‘I am not able to read your column or The Battalion’s edi
torials as often as I would like, but I am especially glad that
this issue came to my attention.
“In closing, I want to say that your statement that ‘the
Sheridan belle is the girl who has succeeded in the hearts of
Aggies everywhere’ is the absolute truth, as far as I can tell
from conversations I have recently joined in here in Houston.
“Wishing you and the editor the best of luck in your con
tinued defense of Texan Ann Sheridan, I remain.
Yours very sincerely,
WM. T. JOHNSTON.”
The regular Friday afternoon
Aggie Clambake will be held to
morrow afternoon over WTAW
from Guion Hall beginning at the
usual time, 4:30.
Ask La Sheridan To
Be Aggies’ Hostess
In Los Angeles
Five Texas Aggies and a travel
ing representative of Warner
Brothers Studios, Henry Krumm,
will leave College Station tomor
row noon to go to Dallas and
present movie star Ann Sheridan
with a football autographed by
members of A. & M.’s national
championship team, inviting her
to be the official hostess and spon
sor for the Texas Aggies when
we play U. C. L. A. in Los Angeles
next October.
John Kimbrough, All-American
back; Walemon Price, Herb Smith,
Ernie Pannell, and George Fuer-
mann, Battalion columnist, will
represent the corps on the trip and,
following the presentation, the
cadets will attend the annual stag
party of the Dallas A. & M. Club.
Miss Sheridan, who was recently
stricken ill, will be unable to be
present in person and the foot
ball will be given to the steward
ess of the California-bound air
liner to go direct to Miss Sheri-
'dan.
Recently attracting national pub
licity through The Battalion’s and
Backwash’s defense of Harvard-
slandered Ann Sheridan, the af
fair will come to a climax next
October when Miss Sheridan acts
as host to Aggie footballers at the
U. C. L. A. game to be played in
Los Angeles.
The controversy originally began
when the A. & M. riflers, national
intercollegiate champions, gal
lantly paved the way for a coed
victory on the part of T.S.C.W.-ians
through a large handicap.
A campus visit on the part of
Miss Sheridan is expected sometime
within the next few months.
There will be a meeting of the
junior class Thursday night at 7:15
in Guion Hall so representatives of
various boot companies can give
bids on senior boots for next term.
It is important that every member
of the class be present, junior
president Ele Baggett stated.

ings so as to facilitate activities

F. F. A. chapter.
The high school agricultural
