■most students, the cage team spent
its extra time rounding off the
remaining rough edges with heavy
scrimages.
Tonight they face the Texas
Christian Hornfrogs and take on
the Southern Methodist Mustangs
tomorrow evening. These will be
the first of the games with the
services of Sammy Dwyer and
Iron Man Cokinos.
This may be the answer to the
long question as to when short men

the others.
The Aggie tankers dropped their
first meet last Saturday in Dallas
but in so doing broke three pool
records. They face the Big “D” team
again this Saturday in the P. L.

Five pool records were broken

spectively.
Another record was set aside
when Harold Hensley, A. & M.,
swam the 50-yard free style in
23.2. Second and third places went
to Irvine McKey, A. & M. and Don
Poladoff, D. A. C.
The A. & M. 200-yard relay
team composed of Jimmy Davis,
Bob Taylor, Harold Hensley and
Irvine McKey hung up a new rec
ord by combining to cover the dis
tance in 1:40.9.
For the D. A. C., John Smoot
swam the 100-yard backstroke in
a new time of 1:9.2. Ernest Con
way, A. & M. and Joe Cockrell,
D. A. C. came in second and third

U. out of the cage race, setting
them back 55 to 45 on their trip
to the Ozarks and then dropped
two to the Hogs. The last ganie of
their series in the mountains saw
the Razorbacks come from behind
two times to claim the win.
So it goes—Arkansas now has
both hands on the bunting and
more than luck will have to appear
to take it away.
Watch for the Aggies to take
both games on their North Texas
trip.

Pa My Berg Scheduled To Give
Golf Demonstration Here On March 5
Miss Patty Berg, outstanding-
national woman golfer, will pay
the A. & M. college campus a visit
on Wednesday, March 5, to dem
onstrate some golf shots for the
benefit of the Texas Aggie golf
team members, as well as any nib-
lic swingers among the student
body.
Col. Frank Anderson, golf coach,
this week accepted the offer of
Miss Berg’s services in the hopes
that some of the team members
will pick up some new tricks—
enough tricks in fact to have a
chance for the Southwest Confer
ence title this year.
Miss Berg plans to make a tour
of the state and will make public
appearance at many courses in the
interest of bettering golf duffer’s
cards and when her sponsor offer
ed to send her down to Aggieland,
Col. Anderson lost no time in say
ing “send her down.”
The program calls for Miss Berg
to hold clinics with free advice of
fered to all comers. In addition, she
is scheduled to demonstrate the
use of the various clubs in the
golfer’s bag when in the hands of
an expert.

“Baylor has already agreed to
play Texas Tech,” Coach Marty
Karow stated. “With such being
the case, a friendly relation might
develop amongst the schools of the
southwest and Tech that has long
