Cadets Win 4-Way Track Meet; Hosts Today
Tracksters Take On Rice and Howard
Payne After Victory in Fort Worth
Coach Marty Karow and the
baseball team wish to thank the
students and Band for the support
they gave the team Saturday aft
ernoon. “Even with us nine runs
behind, those fellows kept it up
and never stopped until the last
man was out in the last inning,”
said Karow.
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

not only beat Baccus, but won the

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.

Stevenson, Lindsey
Knocked Out of Box
As Texas Wins, 9-3
“Lefty” Bumpers Stars
As Aggie Relief Pitcher
By Gene Oates
By slamming Charlie Stevenson
and Ralph Lindsey for seven hits
and eight runs in the first inning,
the Texas Longhorns beat the
Aggies here Saturday, 9 to 3.
“Lefty” Bumpers took over the
hurling duties with none out in
the second frame and limited the
Steers to three bingles the rest
of the way while he struck out
eight.
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.

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.

-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

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.

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.
