Aggie Gagers Play Home Games Here Next
Week Against Horned Frogs and Mustangs
With a win over the Horned!
Progs by two points and a 43-39
loss to the Mustangs, the Aggie ca-
gers bring the game closer to home
next week with the Frogs schedul
ed for the floor Monday night and
the Ponies for Tuesday night.
We’re wondering as to
whether or not the two points
Sammy Dwyer sank were the
winning two for the cadets.

Robbing Billy Sansings “Seein’
Sports,’ we find a story worth tell
ing while we still have the past
two football records in headlights.
“The Christians (referring to the
Texas-T. C. U. cage game), as per
usual, were getting walloped, but
they thought they were getting
the short end of the foul-calling
too. So, when a particular foul was
called on a Frog forward, one of
the subs yelled at Dusty (Bog-
gess):
“If this keeps up, we’ll have to
use football players!”
To which Boggess reported while
in full flight down the floor, “You
can’t; you haven’t got any!”
“And the heckler was silent . . .”
The Dallas Athletic Club which
comes here Saturday to swim
against the cadet tankers will have
on its water polo squad four ex-
Aggies who at one time swam and
played the game for the school.
Joe Cockrell strengthened the ’37
team, Cecil Crow swam and played
on the second place water polo
team in ’38, and Chick Denny and
Ty Rail who were on the Junior
A. A. U. Championship Team of
’39.
Lawson Robertson will refe
ree the Fourteenth Annual
Texas Relays. He is the Olym
pic and Pennsylvania Coach
and one of the experts of the
sport.
Fred Wolcott, ex-Rice track
star, has added three records to his
name in the last week.
He carried off the 60-yard high
hurdles in the recent Millrose meet
in 7.2 seconds. In the Fourth An
nual Penn. A. C. meet he satisfied
four timers in the finals to Set a
new 50-yard high hurdle record at
6.1.

Aggies Edge Out Horned Frogs 52-50
TCU Thriller
Is First Game
Of 2nd Semester
Dawson and Henderson
Capture Scoring Honors
As Dwyer Stars on Defense
The Texas Aggie basketeers
continued their winning ways
when they drubbed the cellar
dwelling T.C.U. Horned Frogs, 52
to 50, Tuesday night at Fort Worth
in a thriller that was filled with
action and speed. It was the first
tilt in the Aggies’ swing around
the northern sector of the state.
Captain Bill Dawson and lanky
Bill Henderson showed their of
fensive zeal to a great advantage
as both copped the scoring honors
for the day with a dozen points a-
piece. Sammy Dwyer, making his
initial appearance on the hard
wood floor, played a great defen
sive game. Barron and Groseclose
were the sparkplugs for the Frogs,
scoring 11 and 9 points respec
tively.
The Aggies piled up an early
lead, which they relinquished but
one time. Led by Henderson and
Dawson, the cadets went into a
22 to 16 lead at the half-way
mark. The story was different
during the second half, however.
The Frogs started hitting the bas
ket, and near the end of the third
period were deadlocked with the
Aggies at 37-all. From there on,
it was a wild affair. T.C.U. boun
ced in' a field goal and a free
throw to take a lead of 40 to 39.
However, the cadets forged ahead
again with a series of baskets.
With the game nearing its cru
cial stage, Henderson pumped in
a crip shot to make the score 52
to 48.
Two free throws by W. G. Black-
mond and L. A. Monrow made the
count 52 to 50, but the Aggies held
the ball, taking it out of bounds
twice in the last minute and a half
of play.

Karow Issues
First Call for
Varsity Baseballers
First call for varsity baseball
players was issued yesterday by
Coach Marty Karow.
Southwest conference ruling
holds team practice until after
March 1, but team candidates will
meet in the training room of Utay
Hall (Dormitory No. 12) at 7:30
p.m. tonight for their first black
board talk.
All those interested in trying
out for the team should make it a
point to attend this meeting.
Not satisfied with these two he
lowered the world’s indoor 45-yard
event one second, running over the
high sticks at 5.6 seconds.
Word from “Forty Acres” comes
that he and Boyce Gatewood, the
Longhorn star who pushed Fred
all through his southwest competi
tion, will run a special event at the
Texas Relays.
Texas Golden Gloves Cham
pions have been declared, Tex
as University and Allen Acad
emy fought to a drdw—and
still the cadet boxers sit around
and just talk about the sport.
Mid-term grades and exams
played a part on freshmen track-
sters. Kennemer, who claimed the
high hurdles in the state meet last
year, Labus, who won second in
the 440 year before last, and Mc-
Glothin who i'an the lead in the
mile year before last—all took
their leave of the cinders.
The varsity team came out much
the better.
Early this week on a speedy run
to breakfast, Ralph Henderson
turned his ankle and will be off for
a few days rest.

With Dallas Club
Dallas Boasts Four
Ex-Aggies as Members
Of Their Water Polo Team
Smarting from a close four-point
defeat at the hands of the Dallas
Athletic Club swimmers in Dallas
February 8, the Texas Aggies clash
with them in a return meet at P.
L. Downs Jr. Natatorium next
Saturday night.
The D.A.C. boasts four ex-Aggie
swim stars as members of their
water polo team in Joe Cockerall,
Cecil Crow, Chick Denny, and Ty
Hall. These boys help make up the
swimming team as well as playing
the water game.
Bob Taylor set a new record in
the 220-yard free style by covering
the distance in 2:21.5, while Phil
Montgomery clinched the 100-yard
breast stroke in record-smashing
time of 1:7.3. Harold Hensley took
the 50-yard free-style with a rec
ord smashing 23.2, and Johnny
Smoot of the D.A.C. crumpled the
record for the 100 yard back-
stroke with a fast time of 1:9.2.
A. & M.’s 200-yard relay team
composed of Davis, Taylor, Hens
ley, and McKey chalked up a new
mark by working together for a
1:40.9.
This splash contest should bring
plenty of excitement for the fans
and competition for the Aggies,
as the Dallas Athletic Club will
be hustling all the way to snatch
a second victory from A. & M.
Coach Adamson has been drilling
the Aggies in every phase of wa
ter polo in an attempt to build
a team that will parallel the great
Aggie teams of the past few years.
Rough places have been smoothed
and A. & M. can put a clicking
combination in the water. Taylor
has speed and ability while the
other boys do everything necessary
to put a club on top of the heap.
This is the first showing of the
swim team at Aggieland for 1941
and they tangle with a talented
group in the Dallas Athletic Club.
All races were tight in the Febru
ary 8th meet and indications are
that either team is able to swim
away with a hard-earned victory.
Houston A. & M. Club
Party Set for Sunday
The Houston-Harris County A.
& M. Mothers Club will have its
annual cooky shower from 3 to

ment chairman, is bringing Boots

Allen Comes
From Behind to
Defeat Fish 57-43
By Mike Haikin
Coach Manning Smith’s Aggie
Fish team suffered their second
straight defeat of the season last
night when the Allen Academy
Ramblers broke loose with a bar
rage the second half to bury the
valiant Fish 57 to 43. Before then,
however, it was a nip and tuck
battle, accompanied by speed and
precision.
Sparking the Ramblers to their
hard-earned victory was Sherrill
Martin, a lad of a six feet and two
inch frame, who accounted for a
total of 29 points. This was one of
the record scoring sprees in the
history of the Allen-A. & M. Fish
meetings. Davis also showed some
spark and hustle for the Ramblers
as he accounted for 13 points.
Coach Smith evidently uncover
ed a very promising cage star in
Webb, who made most of his 14
points in a one-handed fashion.
