Jeep’s Desk Looks a Bit Bare . .
But He’s Still Around Somewhere
By Hub Johnson
Sure enough a change has been
made and though some may call
it radical, some call it just another
annual one; I, as yet, still hesi
tate to call it anything.
It’s going to be a bit different
actually running the sports page
for a change rather than just run
ning around snoopin’.
The Jeep says that when he left
the mess hall Tuesday night he
severed his relations with the Pub
lications Department, but here’s
saying that we’ll find him back
once in a while.
At the banquet where all the
boys got the watches and keys
for their work during the past one,
two, three, and four years some
one pulled off a good one on
Jqep. Mr. Wilcox, the speaker
of the evening told one of Ma
hatma Gandhi stating that even
when he got to the pearly gates
he’d find a newspaper man wait
ing for an interview. From the
rear of the room came the crack,
“Yeah and either at the gates
of He- - or still at A. & M. you’d
find The Jeep!”
You’ll be able to wrap up the
old track pennant and give it a-
way this weekend as the “little
conference” meet comes off at
Austin.
Texas has once defeated the Ag
gies this year and the cadets have
in turn downed the Rice Owls,
but when you put the three to
gether anything can happen.

Mustang And Aggie Nines Tangle Here Saturday
S. M. U. Boasts
Strong Team; Game
Should Be Thriller
The Texas Aggies and the
Southern Methodist Mustangs will
tangle on Kyle Field Saturday
afternoon for their first meeting of
the 1940 pennant race, having
been washed out in the two pre
viously scheduled games in Dallas.
S. M. U. boasts a strong baseball
club and this contest should prove
to be one of the best this year.
Both teams have beat Rice and
the Owls collected only four hits
off Brooks Atchison, Mustang
hurler, while S. M. U. hit safely
eleven times. Rice’s only threat
came when i a pair of runners reach
ed base. The Aggies have drop
ped one game to the Owls and
have won the rest.
The Texas Longhorns, under the
wing of Billy Disch, have blasted
their way to another pennant, in
all probability, as the Aggies have
only a mathematical chance, but
this should be a great battle for
the Aggies in their fight for second
place in the league standing.
In the hurdles three seniors will
be running for their last time and
it will be some race. Wolcott of
Rice will be attempting to hold
on to his own title while Gate-
wood of Texas and Ed Dreiss will
be pushing him to the last mark.
Beefus Brayn vaulted over four
teen feet at the Drakes and will
probably carry off this event.
None of the schools boast a
half-miler but with a little strain
and a lot more of the good run
ning Henderson has been doing for
the Aggies this year there re
mains a good place.
In the old javelin throw Adair
of Texas and Jude Smith will
throw far and wide, and Kim
brough will also be along to a-
gain try his hand at his new event.

Wisconsin Tried Nobly-But Failed To
Equal Cadet Pistolers’ Mark of 1,425
Wisconsin tried in vain but failed to reach the high mark set
by the Aggie pistol team here last week, and thus moved the cadet
team within one notch of repeating as the National Collegiate Cham
pions.
The A. & M. squad is lying in'
wait for the report of the firing
by Xavier who was the third parti
cipant in last week’s match. A
win over the third team would as
sure the Aggies of the title, untied
and undefeated. If by chance they
drop to the third, a check would
have to be made to determine
whether or not the Aggies had de
feated a team that had in turn
downed Xavier.
For this final match of the year,
the Aggies also fired the highest
score an A. & M. team has ever
fired, and one of the best college
records known anywhere. L. C.
Kennemer once again came to* the
top of the team to fire a score
of 288. Bert Burns followed close
with 285 and the three remaining
members tied up with scores of
284.
Keebaugh who was the high
point man for the Wisconsin team
fired a score of 267.
A. & M.
The Southern Methodist netters
defeated the Texas Christian
Horned Frogs this past week.
Higgenbotham of the Methodist
defeated Shults, and Wilkins turn
ed back Pall for the outstanding
wins.
This is a windup match for the
two teams in preparation for the
Southwest Tournament in Hous
ton next weekend.

Houston will be a pretty crowd
ed place come May 10 and 11
with the tennis, golf, and track
championships to be declared.
Rice will hold the edge in the
tennis matches and Texas will be
the favorite of the golf tournament.
And yet with a bit of luck on the
part of the netters and more of
the playing the linksmen have
been turning in, the golf team will
carry off the title.
Tex Carlton turned in a no-hit
game for the Cincinnati team a
few days ago against the Brooklyn
Dodgers. The final score was 3
to 0, but he proved to many fans
that he still is an “is-man” and
not a “has been”.

TENTH INNING;
SCORE: 10 TO 8
Dave Alsobrook tripled to the
centerfield fence with two men on
base and tied up the Aggie-Grand
Prize game in the ninth inning
here Tuesday, but the Brewers
came back to win in the tenth in
ning with a two-run attack by a
score of 10 to 8.
Bumpers started on the mound
for the Aggies but was replaced

Little Conference
Meet Tomorrow
Off to Austin go the Aggie
tracksters tomorrow for the an
nual little conference track meet
between Texas, Rice, and A. & M.
This year as in the past it will
be a gathering of the three strong
est track teams of the South and
the three bidders for the Confer
ence title.
A. & M. has defeated Baylor,
Texas Christian, Southern Metho
dist, and Rice but has fallen to
Texas in a dual meet.
Also making the trip will be
the freshman team to compete with
the first-year teams of the two
other schools. This meet will give
a good hint as to who will carry
off the flag next year as all three
schools will be hard hit by grad
uation.

on the short end of the score.
Two base hits were garnered by
Ballow and Lindsay for the Aggies,
while Kentling and Williford got

Harry Cooper as the hardest luck
guy in pro golf. He practices for
hours in all weather. Although he
weighs under 140 pounds he uses
a 14-ounce driver, the club being
so weighted that he can whip it
through fast. Little Benjamin was
even outhitting Craig Wood, with
whom he played at Pinehurst, N.
C., and Wood is one of the game’s
heftiest swatters.

Chubby Nolen, former Aggie
star, connected in the Brewer half
of the eighth and the ball sailed
over the left centerfield fence for
another home-run, but Charley
Stevenson, sophomore twirler for
the Aggies, matched his wallop

As the last match before the
Southwest Finals, the Texas Aggie
linksmen leave for Fort Worth
today where they will face the
Texas Christian Horned Frogs.
Although the Aggies are in good
shape and are shooting good golf,
the “cow town” team will be hard
to beat on their own course.
Ed Rivercomb, Dub Rankin and
Benton Beasley will be the main
threats for the cadets.
Last week Henry Hauser set a
new course record for the Bryan
Country Club lay out of 64, eight
under par. This was formerly held
by Henry Ransom, Bryan Club
professional.
Henry Richards, Y. C. Denton,
and Bill McMahon have also been
turning in many 72 par games.
On return from the trip to north
Texas the team will prepare for
the Southwest Conference Tourna
ment to be held in Houston May
10 and 11.
