Three Teams Go To Houston as Track,
Tennis, and Golf Finals Take Place
By Hub Johnson
Three teams go off to Houston
late today and early tomorrow for
the conference meets to be held
there Thursday, Friday, and Sat
urday.
The tennis team left late yes
terday to arrive in time for a
bit of rest before the drawing at
8 and the beginning of the three
•days of play at 9 o’clock.
Bill McMahon and Henry Hauser
will lead the golf team down
today for the tournament to be
held on the Braeburn Course
tomorrow and Saturday.
On the Rice track Texas will
take over the track title from the
bayou school as Wolcott makes his
final show and attempt to hold
up the Owl team.
Final Home Tilt Here Saturday Against
Bears; Texas Nine Bows To Sooners
Marty Karow’s ball club make
their final appearance of the sea
son here Saturday as they go up
against the Bears in the third
scheduled game between the two
schools. The Aggies claimed the
first and were forced to the
stands due to rain in the second
inning of the second.
This adds the finishing touch
to things around the campus this
weekend. The Senior Ring Dance
tops the social chart, the Engi
neers’ Show heads the educational
bill, the Mothers’ Day reviews lend
a hand on the military side, and the
final ball game of the year at home
winds up the calendar.
by the neighbor state school this
year.
The Sooners followed in the
same manner as the Texans and
scored three runs in the opening.
Texas scored again in the third
and the eighth but allowed the
Oklahomans to score two in the
fourth and one in the seventh to
top the Southwest leaders 6 to 5.
This defeat should have little
bearing on the outcome of the two
games this weekend as they should
cinch their tie for the conference
pennant with two wins over the
Southern Methodist Ponies.
Down went the Texas University
baseball team Monday at the hands
of Oklahoma University. This was
the second defeat of the Dischmen

SLUGGING SPREE
HIGHLIGHTED BY
FIVE HOME RUNS
Houston Semi-Pro Team
Loses To A. & M. 17-3
By Jeep Oates
The big bats came to life in the
second inning Tuesday afternoon
on Kyle Field to produce 10 runs
and the Aggies swamped Grand
Prize 17 to 3 in a free-hitting
game that saw 25 hits, five of them
homers. Grand Prize gleaned all
their runs as result of two homers
by Heine Schuble and one by John
McGrew, pinch hitter.
Grand Prize touched Charlie
Stevenson for a run in the initial
frame when with one out, Schuble
slapped his first homer over the
left field boards.
A. & M. took the lead in their
half of the frame when Cecil Bal-
low led off with a walk and after
two were out he scored on Charlie
Kirkpatrick’s first hit. Doran fol
lowed with his first hit of a per
fect day and Kirkpatrick tallied.
In the second the Aggies drove
Tom Bennett to the showers and
Jimmy Delmar came in to get the
full fury of the Cadet attack. Also-
brook touched Delmar for a single
and then Kirkpatrick drove one
over the center field fence. “Fat
boy” Stevenson, Aggie chunker,
ended the hitting spree with a
homer. A. & M. tallied 10 runs on
seven hits, which included the two
homers, an error, a hit batter and
two walks.
The Aggies added two in the
third, one in fifth, and two ip six
th. The Brewers added another in
the seventh when Schuble touched
Stevenson for his second four base
blow, and their third in the ninth
when McGrew, hitting for Speedy
Moore, hit one out of the lot off
Peden.
Of the twenty-five blows, all
were singles except the five hom
ers.
Doran had a perfect day at the
plate, collecting three for three.
period, team activities have picked
up quite a bit and as a result
a better showing is expected of the
cadet team in their final match.
Not only will the team be the
defenders of the conference title
but also of the three individual
honors. Tom Akarman, team cap
tain, will defend his foils title;
Leroy Everett will attempt to re
tain his saber, and Jimmy Romin-
ger will fight to return with his
epee title.
Many seniors make their last
showing for the Aggies this week
end as the final meets come off in
four sports.
On the cinder track Ed Dreiss
will top over the two hurdles to
wind up his career as captain of
the team. Mickey Hogan will pace
the distance to complete his time
as a track and cross-country man
for the cadets. John McLean will
run the 440 in the mile relay and
thus close his career. In the
field Jude Smith will throw the
javelin for the last time and mark
“finis” to his time.
On the Braeburn Course V. C.
Denton and Bill McMahon will
close their books and in so doing
stand a good chance of writing in
a swell ending.
Facing the strong tennis team
of the Rice Owls, “Greek” Mitchell,
Sherman Given and Kemp Adams
wind up their time of playing the
net for the Aggies.

Southwest Conference Golf Tournament
Starts Friday on Brae Burn Course
The Rice Owls are due to drop
their golf championship this week
end as the Southwest Conference
Golf Tournament commences in
Houston Friday.
A. & M. and Texas should battle
it put for the title this trip, since
Rice had only one letterman re
turn from its championship team,
Harry Crissman.
The Aggies have split with the
Colorado University team, defeat
ed by the Bryan Pro team, and
the Texas Christian team. They
scared the University team as
Henry Hauser and Bill McMahon
won the number one and two singles
in Austin.
This match was played on the
field known to the University team
and in Houston it may be an al
together different story.
Outstanding players to partici
pate in the meet are Texas’ Arthur
Luce and Len Spitzer, Rice’s Har
ry Crissman and Jim Nelson.
The tournament will be held on
the Braeburn course, the home of
Houston’s golf star, Jimmy De
mare tt.
Fencing Team Will
Defend Title In
Austin This Week
The men in the iron masks will
be in Austin this Friday and Sat
urday to defend their Southwest
Conference Fencing Championship
against the other teams of the
conference.
Schools to be represented at the
meet will be A. & M., Texas, Bay
lor, S. M. U., and possibly Rice.
Baylor will be the strongest con
tender and has an able man in
Shaudies who will place his team
in a close race for top honors. In
the meet at Fort Worth last month
he defeated Captain Tom Akar
man, A. & M., defending foil
champion, and will be after a re
peat as much as Akarman will be
after vengeance.
Other defending champions of
the Aggie team will be Leroy
Everett with the foil and Jimmy
Rominger with the epee. The
other two men on the team will
be John Beard and Bill Swigert.
The cadets will fight as indi
viduals in the foil, saber, and epee
matches and as a team in the foil
match.
Kirkpatrick had three hits and
three runs in five trips to the plat
ter, and drove in four tallies.
Schuble starred for the Brewers
with his two homers and a single
in five tries.

INTRAMURAL
HIGHLIGHTS
By Bob Myers
A Signal Company took a high
ly contested speedball game from
E Engineers by a score of 5 to 4
when a technicality ruled a two
point goal out to make the loss
even more keenly felt.
In the quarter-finals play, A
Field Artillery bested G Coast Ar
tillery by a score of 9 to 5 in a
speedball game filled with fast
play and skinned joints.
Softball saw Headquarters Cav
alry take the lead from B Signal
Company in the second and hold
it for the remainder of the game
for a close victory on the long
end of a 6 to 5 score.
E Engineers piled up scores in
the third and fourth to keep F
Coast Artillery from scoring
enough runs to outweigh their
total of eight in spite of a last
inning stand by the Coast boys
that brought their score to five.
The tightest game of the day
was between B Chemical Warfare
and 2nd Headquarters Field Ar
tillery. It was anybody’s ball
game all the way through and
the winning runs came in the
sixth when the “test tubers” made
three runs. A fast comeback by
the “buggy boys” in the seventh
with two runs fell one short of a
tie and gave the game to B Com
pany 9 to 8.
Cadet Netmen Enter
Houston Tournament
Aggie netmen left yesterday
evening for the Southwest Con
ference Tournament in Houston
which starts this morning at 9
o’clock.
Aggies making the trip include
Mitchell, Krezdorn, Giles, Adams
and probably Given. If Given
makes the trip, he and Mitchell
will compose the number one dou
bles team. The other will be made
up after the first rounds of the
individual matches.
Frank Guernsey, the midget Rice
Owl star, will defend his singles
title, and if successful, will go
after his third national intercol
legiate title this summer. Dick
Morris will join him to defend their
doubles title.

TRACK AND FIELD
MEET HELD AT
RICE THIS WEEK
Oates Picks Texas 1st,
Rice 2nd, and A. & M. 3rd
By E. C. Oates
Houston will be in the spotlight
this week as the Southwest Con
ference track and field meet will
be held out at Rice Institute Fri
day and Saturday. There is a
slight chance that some records
will be broken. Freddy Wolcott
may break the high hurdle rec
ord, Jack Hughes, Texas strong
man, might break the record in
the discus or Beefus Bryan, Tex
as, might break the record in the
pole vault. The other records are
as safe as the gold in Kentucky.
There is no question as to the
way the top three teams will fin
ish. Texas will be first with a
big margin, Rice will follow and
A. & M. will be several points be
hind the Owls. S. M. U., Baylor,
T. C. U., and Arkansas will floun
der around after points left, which
will not be many. Give Baylor
first and second in the high jump
and they can go back home.
The Aggies hope for points
will be with Ed Dreiss and Roy
Bucek in the two hurdle races, Jude
Smith and Marshall Robnett in the
javelin throw, Earl Smith and
Red Cecil in the dashes, Bill Co-
natser, Finley and Dreiss in the
high jump, Cecil in the broad
jump, John McLean in the quarter
and a leg on relay, Ralph Hender
son in the 880 and relay, Jim
Thomason in the shot put, and Pete
Henry in the discus. Henderson,
Jude Smith, and Thomason are the
only ones with a chance at first
places.
The “Little Conference” meet
which was held in Austin last week
was the order and about the
strength of the finish of the top
three in the conference.
