JUDE SMITH HEAVES JAVELIN
205.5 FEET IN HIS LAST
MEET ON KYLE FIELD SOD
Tuesday afternoon Jude Smith
stepped out and tossed the javelin
205 feet and six inches, the best
toss he has ever made in meets
for A. & M. Before coming to
A. & M. he tossed the spear around
213 feet at John Tarleton.
The Aggies have had good jave
lin throwers since time began in
their track world. In 1917 J. T.
L. McNew (now a civil engineering
prof), set the record of 155 feet,
five inches. But John Kimbrough
tossed it farther than that his
first toss. The last Aggie to hold
the record was Walter Skripka. In
1936 he threw it 206 feet, 3%
inches.
Coach Brunson of Rice, just be
fore the track meet, looked over
at Dough Rollins and said, “Dough,
if you hadn’t invited a third school
to this meet, you would beat us
today.” Rollins didn’t say any
thing, but his boys went out and
proceeded to beat the Owls any
way.
If “Bama” Smith learns to run
the 220 dash before the confer
ence meet he will be the cham
pion. He is crowding some good
time and some good men by just
running as fast as he can for
as far as he can.
Was talking to a gal from Kan
sas the other night and she said
the people in Texas are crude and
like a bunch of hillbillies. She
said he didn’t see how the Aggies
ever beat an out-of-state football
team because if the players on the

couldn’t act and think fast enough.
Well, I don’t know anything
about Kansas but I do know that
we were getting along pretty good
before that Kansas soil started
blowing down here. I haven’t
heard of Kansas wanting to play
the Aggies either.

Triangular Track Meet Tuesday Won By Aggies
WOLCOTT OF RICE
HIGH POINT MAN
WITH 3 FIRSTS
Track Team Leaves After
Meet for Des Moines And
The Annual Crake Relays
By Gene Oates
Earl “Bama” Smith and John
Kimbrough proved to be the sur
prises in the triangular meet which
the Aggies won over Rice and
Howard Payne here Tuesday aft
ernoon. “Bama,” running in the
second meet of his life, put plenty
of fear in Fred Wolcott in the
100-yard dash and came back in a
few minutes to take Second in the
220 with a photo finish. Smith
surged into the tape with Charlie
Marshall, but the judges gave the
race to Marshall, saying that he
was the one that put the most
tension in the string.
Kimbrough, throwing in his
first meet, took second place be
hind Jude Smith in the javelin
try.
Coach Rollins’ proteges took
the lead in the third event by
taking all four places in the high
jump. Bill Conatser, Ed Dreiss
and Bob Finley all tied for first
at 5:11. That gave them 11
points in one even and from there
on they gradually added to the
lead.
Fred Wolcott of Rice was high
in points with 16 1/4, taking firsts
in the 100, both hurdles and run
ning a leg on the winning sprint
relay team. Dreiss was second
with 10 1/12, just ahead of
Guarrnero of Howard Payne who
won both the mile and two mile
runs.
Rice ran away with first places,
winning the pole vault, the 100-
yard dash, both hurdles, the 880
run, the sprint relay and the broad
jump. Howard Payne took first in
five events, the 440, mile, and two
mile runs, mile relay, and 220
dash.
A. & M. took firsts in the high
jump, shot put, discus and javelin.
It was the Aggies’ ability to take
the seconds and thirds in nearly all
events that gave them their mar
gin of victory. A. & M. tallied
75 points while Rice was collect
ing 53 and Howard Payne 41.
James Thomason, in winning the
shot put, tossed it farther than
he has this year in meets. His
heave was good for 47 feet six
and one-half inches. Kimbrough
beat Robnett with the javelin by
the width of a chalked line on
the football field.
Right after the meet Coach
Rollins, Jude Smith, Roy Bucek,
“Red” Cecil, “Bama” Smith, and
Ed Dreiss left for Des Moines,
Iowa, where they will enter the
Drake Relays.
Rice has a track team that is at
a loss in dual and triangular meets.
They have a few cinch first-place
winners, enough to win a meet if
the other teams cut each other’s
throats.
Special Courses
In Fish And Game
To Be Offered
The A. & M. College Department
of Fish and Game this summer
will offer two intensely interest
ing courses in field work open to
students with a working knowledge
of plants and animals, equivalent
to information gained in a basic
course in biology, according to Dr.
Walter P. Taylor, head of the new
department which graduates its
first four-year class of bachelors
of science this June. The depart
ment also is scheduled to confer
its first master’s degree in June.
A course in stream and pond
management is planned for the
first term of the summer session,
June 10 to July 20. Dr. Kelsaw
Bonham will be in charge and prac
tical aspects of fish culture will be
stressed. This course carries six
semester hours of credit and will
cost the student approximately $60
which includes registration fee,
board, room and transportation on
trips to state fish hatcheries. Prac
tical methods of stocking and re
habilitating farm ponds and tanks
will be stressed.
Dr. W. B. Davis will have charge
of the second course from July 22
to August 31 and the trans-Pecos
region of Texas in Culberson County
will be the scene of cover-mapping,
study of nature and distribution of
birds and mammals of the area,
preparation of study specimens and
life-history studies of selected ani
mals. This course carries seven se
mester hours of credit and will en
tail an expense of approximately
$72.50. Enrollment is limited to
eight students in each course.

Pistol Team Has
Chance To Cop
National Honors
By Hub Johnson
Captain Phil Enslow will leave
A. & M. with a fine record and the
feeling within himself that may
be the Aggies can really shoot if
the team comes through the week
in the customary manner.
Xavier and Michigan are the
last two of the year to face the
Aggies’ fire and to wind up a coach
ing career at the “Brazos Bottom”
school for the captain.
Four years ago, upon his arrival,
he formed a club, worked to have
the sport recognized, and fired
against any comers no matter what
they had to boast. Only once have
they been defeated. This was last
year when the Purdue Boiler Mak
ers fired a “luck” score and eked
out a win over the Aggies. Later
they dropped to two teams the
Aggies had already downed which
once more cleared the way for the
cadets.
If the team comes through with
the two wins, again they will be
crowned the National Collegiate
Champions.
Throughout the year each mem
ber of the squad has been taking
the lead for a spell and each has
made an exceptional showing in the
various matches.
With Captain Enslow will go
three of the six top members, Bert
Burns, W. E. Lewis, and the team
captain, Bob Shiels. The remain
ing including C. A. Lewis, Louis
Kennemer, Gene Shiels, W. L. May-
field, H. C. Warner.

Ain’t that generous of them!
You say you ain’t got no money?
Heck, that ain’t no stopping point!
You can always find some skin
flint that you can beat a buck out
of ’cause that’s all it’s gonna cost.
Oh, Yeah? There’s something
else. Thu Executive Committee has
said that freshman and sophomore
Agricultural Engineering students
can stay out an’ attend the ball.
Is the cost of keeping
well dressed on a college
budget bothering you ?
Many, many of those
pieces of clothing which
you consider too worn
for further use can be
rejuvenated by our ser
vice so that they will look
just as good as new.
Whatever it is, our clean
ing, pressing and repair
service will put it back
into first class shape and
make all of that budget
worrying unnecessary.
The cost of our service is
almost nothing compared
to the cost of new cloth
es.

HARD LUCK BOYS
MEET BAYLOR IN
TWO-GAME PLAY
Both Teams Have Three
Losses Against Record
In Conference Contests
Coach Marty Karow’s hard luck
boys will leave here tomorrow
morning to meet the Baylor Bears
in Waco in a two-game, two-day
series to be played Friday and
Saturday.
In their past three games the
Aggies have dropped them all, one
to the Horned Frogs in Fort Worth,
one to the Owls at Houston, and
the other to the Disch men here
on Kyle Field.
The Bears lost two last week,
both to the Southern Methodists
Mustangs in Dallas. In the first
of their series with the North-
Texans the Bears led the way
throughout the game with eight
runs totaled at the end of the sixth
inning. Golden, tall southpaw
hurler for the Bears, retired at
the end of the eighth to give way
to Roberts.
The Mustangs tasted the win and
scored three runs in the sev
enth and the home half of the
ninth to win 9 to 8.
Barnes finished the first game
when he replaced Roberts in an
attempt to stop the rally.
Barnes again came to the mound
the following day only to lose in
a close 3 to 2 decision. He allowed
only eight hits and struck out the
same number of men with his
freak breaking curve.
The Aggies will find a rejuvenat
ed club on hand as they face the
Bears for their first match of the
year as the Baylor Club was pick
ed as one of the teams which
might possibly overthrow the Tex
as crew at the first of the year
and they will be attempting to re
establish themselves in the old con
ference as will be the Aggies.
