Freshman Cagers Dawson Scores
Show Promise But 17 Points In Win
Still Need Polish
Coaching the fish basketball
team, Manning Smith is doing a
commendable job of whipping
into shape the squad that will
represent A. & M. in varsity com
petition next year. It is a bit
early to make a prediction as to
who are the most promising players
on the team.
In competitive play, the fish
show themselves to be a bit rough,
losing to Beaumont High School
by free throw shots given the Pur
ples, due to fouls inflicted by the
freshmen.
The fish, who have lately been
working out against the varsity,
lack the finesse that is present in
the lettermen, but are showing
great promise in their rapid im
provement.
Their playing has not been def
initely (arranged, but tentative
plans indicate they are to play
the frosh teams of the school the
varsity is taking on, playing, of
course, before the conference game
begins.
Hewitt Cox, one of the three
“sorrel tops” on the squad, show
ed in the last game with the vars
ity that he could handle himself
well, while other members of the
team are equally coming up in
their prowess on the hardwood.
Marked Decrease In
Fouls Possibly Due To
Improved Officiating
Participants in intramural sports
are getting a break this year be
cause of the good officiating of
the games and contests, which has
brought about a decrease in slug
ging, kicking, tripping, or any
unfairness on the part of the op
ponent.
W. L. Penberthy and C. G.
White have taken great pains to
drill their officials in working the
games correctly. Since their ref
erees and umpires are all experienc
ed athletes, splendid results have
been obtained so far this year in
officiating the games. Penberthy
and White have stressed the im
portance of cooperation on the part
of the officials as well as the
players.
Over Carr-Sweeney
(Continued from Page 4)
Dawson sank another and Hen
derson set the cadets four points
into the lead in the last five sec
onds of the first half, the score
reading 24 to 20.
Aggs Take Second Half *
The second half belonged to the
Aggies alone with the lead grad
ually increasing to 43 to 29. Rapid
substitution and varying teams on
the floor for the Aggies gave the
Carr-Sweeney five a chance to cotch
up a bit.
From then on the Houston squad
ran the floor and made every shot
count with Creasy leading the way.
In the last two minutes they ran
their count up nine points, the
Baylor star making five of these.
The floor play on the part of
each team ran wild at times but
heads up ball kept the game open
to either team throughout the forty
minutes.

Wins ’Mural
Tennis Title
Game Played
In Face of Clouds
& Threatening Rain
By Bob Myers
Two-thirds of the Chemical War
fare Battalion met on the ten
nis courts yesterday afternoon to
decide the college tennis champ
ionship
Both B and C Companies came
through their respective brackets
of play to meet for the crown.
Threatening rain clouded the courts
as tosses were made for signing
up players and both teams agreed
to stop playing when the water
started running in the shoe tops—
the score to revert to the previous
set.
Pimlott and Mitchell won the
first and only match for C Com
pany by defeating Seeley and
Elliott, 6-1, 6-0. The second match
went to B Company with only
two sets of play and was won by
Lewis and Morrison over Owen and
Duncan, 6-2, 6-3.
With a win apiece on each side
and the score tied in sets for the
third and deciding match, Davis,
Farmer and Lynch came from be
hind a 6-1 set to take the match
and championship from Wilson,
Huffmeyer, and Kingsberry with
two consecutive sets of 6-3 and
6-1.
A survey of 60,000 Negro farm
families last year showed their
net worth has increased from $451
to $752.
The U. S. Department of Agri
culture reports that 2,200 of the

B Field Artillery handballers
won the College Championship in
an easy game with G Infantry.
Shea and Marks took their match
from Woodman and Rohrer 2-0
while Kenagy and Bentenck won
theirs from Smith and Cathey by
the same score. With the game in
the bag 2-0 it was not necessary
for Houston and Stokes to com
plete their match with Bolton and
Peden. This win knocks E Field
Artillery from the championship
perch that they have held for the
past two years.
Finals in water polo saw the two
best teams of the field battle it out
for the crown. E Field Artillery
got over the hump and came out
from behind the eight ball to take
the game from F Field Artillery
2-0.
The game was a thriller from
start to finish and scoring was at
a premium. Patterson swam in the
first counter and Terrell took the
second one. Both goalies had their
hands plenty full but apparently
one was just two points better than
the other.
Winding up tennis for the lower
bracket championship, B Chemical
Warfare downed G Infantry 2-1.
