Beats Lampasas
For 9-3 Victory
The Texas Aggie Polo team rode
to their first victory of the year
Saturday when they trounced Lam
pasas 9 to 3 on the College field.
While showing plenty of talent and
ability, the A. & M. horsemen
scored at will and found no dif
ficulty in overcoming the Lam
pasas club.
Getting off to a running start,
the Cadets scored in the first chuk-
ker on McGowen’s spirited ride
downfield and goal making shot.
The scoring was just beginning
when the second period came along
as Hart and Braid scored four
more goals on precision teamwork
and lots of hustle.
McGowen coupled with Braid
in the third chukker to count two
added another in the fourth and
Buie garnered the nineth in the
fifth period.
Lee Rice, Aggie reserve, played
a position on the Lampasas team
and ran two of the three Lampasas
goals over against his teammates.
From the moment he saddled he
was trouble for the Aggies and
the improvement in his play should
put him closer to the top.
Lampasas was primarily a team
of Gilliens as it is composed of
several of the well-known polo
enthusiasts from Lampasas. W. C.
Gillen, Sr., is playing manager of
the team, and his son and nephew
are other regulars.
