Hubert “Lefty” Moon wants to thank the corps for the big ova tion they gave him Saturday when he was wheeled out to the game. Moon broke his leg about five weeks ago when he slid in home with the winning run in a prac tice game. He has been lying in the hospital, looking at four walls and a ceiling, for five weeks, and he was certainly proud to get out to see the game.. Moon was one of the bright prospects this sea son and his loss hurt the team no little. “Lefty” Bumpers pitched eight innings of great baseball Satur day after Stevenson and Lindsey had been knocked from the box. He had that ball cutting up and his control was perfect. At the track meet in Fort worth, Baccus, S. M. U. 220 man, met “Bama” Smith and asked him if he had ever run the 220 before. “Bama” told him he didn’t and SURE WE CAN and AT MODERATE PRICES Call For STUDENT CO-OP REPAIR North Gate M-TU[ | ASSKAVHLY HALL l BE lOVED !/t X WED., APRIL 24 3:30 - 6:45 Baccus told him that he had better drop out then because it was a hard race. A few seconds later “Bama” not only beat Baccus, but won the event. Schedule of Events The tennis team plays Rice here Wednesday and then goes to Austin for a match Saturday. Marty Karow’s baseball team will play Baylor in Waco Friday and Saturday. It will be their first meeting of the year. The golf team meets S. M. U. here Friday. The fish baseball team meets the Baylor freshmen here Satur day. Recently Eddie Breitz said in his column that the reason Jess Neeley’s assistant coach would not come to Rice was because he had seen the Sugar Bowl pictures and he just couldn’t stand seeing his line torn up by John Kimbrough so he would just stay out of the Southwest Conference, at least until Kimbrough was through.

INTRAMURAL HIGHLIGHTS By Bob Myers E Field Artillery went down the speedball field to rack up a total of nine points in their game with A Chemical Warfare who made penetrations but were unable to touch pay dirt. A quarter-finals volleyball game between F Engineers and I Infan try saw the slide rule boys on the top side of a 2 to 1 score but only after a tough fight. Softball provided the highlight in intramural this time with sev eral very close games. A Coast Artillery and B Chemical War fare were tied eight up in the sixth when the Coast team brought in the winning runs to make the final score 11 to 8. Another tight one was between 1st Corps Hq. and D Engineers. This game needed two extra in nings to untie the 9 up knot. Martin and Milam each scored for the Corps Hq. in the ninth to win the game for their team 11 to 9. Dixon of C Cavalry crossed the plate in the extra period of the game with Headquarters Signal Corps to break the 8 to 8 dead lock and score the winning run. Not to be outdone by H Coast Artillery’s seven run spree in the sixth, B Cavalry came out in the seventh with a five run spurt to take the game 13 to 11. On the tennis courts, D Coast took a game from D Cavalry 3 to 0, and the Infantry Band was the victor over B Engineers by a mar gin of one point with a final score of 2 to 1.

Haas led off with a double and came home on Stone’s single, Pfeil was safe on an error and Hill sac rificed the runners a base. Layden singled to score Stone. Moers doubled and was out at third when he tried to stretch the hit. Layden and Pfeil scored on the play. Croucher walked and Everett fol lowed with a single. Deutsch was safe on an error by Jeffrey and Croucher scored. Haas, up for the second time, singled to score Ever ett and Lindsey replaced Steven son on the mound. Stone met Lindsey with a double to clear the bases. Pfeil flew to Alsobrook to end the inning. The Aggies got a man as far as second in their half when Stone was safe on Moer’s error and Scog- gin singled. Texas Johnny Hill led off their half of the second with a homer and Layden and Moers followed with singles to send Lindsey to thp showers. Bumpers Comes In Bumpers replaced Lindsey and Croucher met him with a sacrifice. He walked Everett, but with the bases loaded he struck out Deutsch for the third out. In the seventh Kirkpatrick singled for his second hit and went to second when Jeffrey rolled out. Jack Lindsey, batting for Pugh, doubled to score Kirkpatrick with the first Aggie run. Bumpers followed with a single, but Ballow and Stone went out. In the eighth Alsobrook led off with a single. Rice flew to center. Doran singled and Kirkpatrick popped out to Moers. Bill Hen derson came up and after work ing Deutsch for the full count, doubled to right to score Also brook. Lindsey rolled out to end the inning. In the ninth Bumpers struck out. Cooper, hitting for Ballow, walked. Stone fled to right, but Alsobrook doubled to center and Cooper raced home. Rich flew to right to end the game. The largest crowd to ever wit ness a conference game here turn ed out, and the day was perfect baseball weather. Deutsch pitched the whole game for the Steers, but in the latter innings when the students and band got ‘red hot,” the Steer man ager kept two pitchers in the bull pen, and it looked like Deutsch was going to blow up at times.

TUESDAY, APRIL 23, 1940 PAGE 3 Aggies To Have Boat Race Limit The Aggies will have as many boats in the Gulf of Mexico as will be allowed in the intercollegi ate fish class sailing races to be held at Seabrook June 8. Practically all of the colleges of Texas will be represented, as the only restriction is that the school be a Texas college. When the Aggies were invited to -f-send crews, hundreds of experienc ed sailors rushed to make applica tion. From the applications it can be seen that the Cadets could enter any type of race. The boys’ experience ranged from rowing in tanks, sailing in the Great Lakes, Chesapeake bay, St. Lawrence riv er, Puget sound, Atlantic and Pa cific oceans to handling schooners in the Gulf of Mexico. Fish Swimmers, Water Poloists Sink Texas U. Freshmen in Austin Saturday The Fish and the Tank Club downed the Texas University Freshmen Saturday night in Greg ory Pool at Austin with the final score posted as 49 to 35. Taylor swimming for the fresh man club was the individual star of the evening and set an unof ficial record in the 220-yard free style with a time of 2:26.1. The present record is 2:27.7, set here this past month in the confer ence meet by Beeler of Texas. The cadet club allowed the Texas team only one individual first and one team first throughout the meet. The fish, following in the splashes of the varsity team, de feated the Texas Frosh in a night cap game of water polo by clos ing them out 7 to 0. The splendid showing on the part of the club promises a great varsity team for next year. Not only did the cadets carry off all but two of the first places but also many of the second and third spots as well. The summaries are as follows: 300-yard medley—Won by A. & M.

AGGIE GOLFERS LOSE TO TEXAS By Hub Johnson Henry Hauser and Bill McMahon came to the top of the collegiate golfing world in the Southwest Conference and stole the show at Austin this last Friday as they turned back Buck Luce and An drew Chilton, Texas’ number one and two players, respectively. Hauser won from Luce and Mc Mahon defeated Chilton by the same scores, one up. Both were eight below par. In the other singles Tommy Taylor of Texas defeated Henry Richards 1 up and the University team’s captain, Wayne Middleton, turned back V. C. Denton, 6 to 5. In the doubles it was quite a dif ferent story. Luce and Chilton ran Hauser and McMahon four extra holes, 22 in all, to finally win out, one up. Middleton and Len Spizer won 1 the second doubles from Denton and Richards, 5 to 4. Texas carried off the meet four j matches to one. BAYLOR NETMEN DEFEAT CADETS Mitchell and Given saved the Aggies from being closed out here Saturday as the Baylor Bears car ried off the tennis matches five to one. The Bears won all the singles and lost only the one double match Hilley of Baylor downed Mitch ell, 6-1, 11-9; Cornelison of the Bears won from Given, 6-8, 6-2, 6-1; Harris of the Bears defeated Adams, 6-1, 6-2, and Haynes of Baylor also won from Krezdom, 6-3, 6-3. Mitchell and Given won their double match after dropping their first set 1-6. They came back with two wins of 6-3, 6-3 to claim the win over Cornelison and Haynes. Hilley and Harris defeated Ad ams and Krezdom 6-4, 6-0. Austin High Batsmen Outscore Aggie Fish A run in the ninth and a homer with two ducks on the pond spell -ed victory for the Austin High School baseball team here Friday in their game with the Aggie Fish. The cadets led the game up to the ninth and were ahead nine to eight when the high school bunch for got all rules of seniority and brought in a runner to tie the score before giving the ball a ride completely out of the park to clinch the game. The fish tangle with Allen Academy in Bryan Wednesday and with the Baylor Cubs here on Sat urday. Dancing lessons were a regular part of the University of Virginia curriculum as early as 1830.

PRODUCED BY MAX FLEISCHER DIRECTED BY DAVE FLEISCHER TUBS., APRIL 23 3:30 - 6:45 Roll Over SMU, TCU Baylor by Big Score Coach Dough Rollins’ thinly clads returned here Sunday from Fort Worth where they once again carried off the quadrangle track title by scoring heavy in the sprints and hurdles and by carrying off half the field events. The Aggies marked up 84 points and were followed far behind by Southern Methodist, which scored “. Baylor placed third with 27 while Texas Christian supported the entire field with 17 points. Of the ten first places won by the Aggies, Ed Dreiss claimed two, winning the two hurdle events. i ran a leg of the sprint relay and won fourth place in the pole vault and thus credited himself with IZVz points to become the high point man of the cadet team and of the meet. With this win new light is flashed on the conference meet to be held in Houston on May 10 and 11 and more will be told in Austin as Rice, Texas, and A. & M. meet for the annual “little conference” meet May 3. The complete results of the Fort Worth meet are as follows: Threaten To Replace Rice As Runners-Up Preview of the battle for sec ond place in the Southwest Con ference track meet will be fought out on Kyle Field cinder paths this afternoon when the Aggies play host to the Rice Owls and the Howard Payne Yellow Jackets in a triangular meet which will start at 2:30 o’clock. Admission will be coupon book or forty cents. To date it looks like the Texas Longhorns will win the conference title with Rice trailing second and the Aggies taking third. So far Texas has taken the measure of the Aggies and the Owls and cadets have been neck and neck in the meets where they have met. However, the two teams have not met on conference events basis with full teams competing so to day’s results will give a pretty clear picture of the conference standings next May 10-11.
