Last year on the football field they put grey hair in many a head. On the cage court they turned back the cadets 46 to 39. The Aggies have already dropped one to the North Texas team but •will be out to even the score. A trip to Houston, a contest with the Rice Owls last night, and the trip up today should prove too >6 much for them. The call goes to McQuillen’s charges in this one. It’s a strange story—Saturday night the Aggies and the Dallas Athletic Club splashed water high in Downs, Jr., Natatorium, but the rest of the state has yet to hear the report. Harold Hensley and Bob Taylor should lead the Aggies to their first conference win in a good many years. Harold lowered his pool record in the 100 yard free style and dropped the 50 yard free style pool record . Bob lowered the conference 220- yard distance race and swam a fast 440. n After the meet was over, the water polo team let their own coach Art Adamson play against them with the knowledge of their tactics and still topped the Dallas Club. Uncle Billy Disch will not coach the University’s diamond- men this spring, and many base ball men the conference over will breath a sigh of relief. Texas should still have the team to beat and will have the guidance of one who made one crack at Aggieland but never made another, Bibb Falk. Xttter tv0V«tt REG.U.9.PAT.OrF.

Horned Frogs, keeping them on the inside of the cellar door. Throughout the first half both teams played loose ball with poor floor work slowing up the game. The Aggies took an early lead and held it throughout the first period with the score standing 22 to 20 at the half Back came the Homed Frogs at the start of the second, deter mined to make the two pbint lead of the Aggies change hands and mark up their first in the black column. With a three point lead over the cadets the Christians slowed down a bit and Dawson started again on his scoring spree. Bannon topped the Aggs with a long shot but Henderson came through with a free throw to top the score 27 all. From then on the game belonged to the cadets though the score grew as close as three points when Monroe eeked in a close one to count 43 to 40. Time and again mother luck robbed both teams of field goals as the ball circled the. basket two three and even four times only to fall to the rafter-reaching play ers. The closing minutes saw the Frogs try in vain to overtake the Aggies again but Dawson, Hen derson, and Dwyer held on to the lead. Texas A. & M.

BATTALION FEBRUARY 18, 1941 PAGE 3 Face Mustangs Tonight ola rrett Basketball Team Tangles With SMU For Second Game In As Many Days Victory in DeWare Field House Depends on Stopping Sebeck and Baccus of SMU Coach Hub McQuillan’s Texas Aggies continue to be hosts to northern clubs, with the hefty S. M. U. Mustangs being the guests tonight at the DeWare Field House. The cadets will attempt to square the series at one all, as the Mus tangs lambasted them to a tune of 43 to 37 in their previous en counter. The outcome of the game for the Aggies will largely depend on their ability of halting the Mus tangs’ speed merchants, Johnny Sebeck and Rusty Baccus. This combination has clicked numerous times this season, especially against the Rice Owls and A. & M. Virgil (Country) Wilkerson, who led the legue in scoring last season, is another one whom the Aggies should not overlook. Once he gets hot, there is no stopping ‘‘Country.” Bryan Lloyd and Grover Keeton are the other members of the Pony five. Meanwhile Coach Hub McQuil lan will counter with the same starting lineup that gave the Ag gies their only two wins. It will be Henderson and Jarret at For ward, Dawson at center, and Ste venson and Nabors at guard. Sam my Dwyer, who just attained his eligibility at midterm, will also see some service. With the Southwest Conference basketball virtually socked up by the undefeated Arkansas Razor- backs, the battle for second place becomes the main issue of the race. Only the lowly T. C. U. Horned Frogs do not retain even a mathe matical chance for the No. 2 spot. The rest of the teams, with the exception of the Texas Aggies, have an equal chance to grab off second place. The cadets’ only chance is by sweeping the rest of their schedule, which is proble matical. Quarterback Club Sees Thanksgiving, Cotton Bowl Pictures The College Station Quarter back club will offer “bad news” and “good luck” in the A. & M.-Tex- as and the Cotton Bowl Football Games at its annual benefit show Thursday night in Guion Hall ac cording to Jimmy Parker.

Texas will have the same team returning next year and these pic tures will offer another look at what the state school will have to offer for the league honors. Cornell students who drive cars must take out insurance against public liability for property dam age and personal injury effective July 1. The university of California ex tension division has inaugurated a course in television production and acting. Slimes Defeat Freshman Basketball Team by 41-27 Score In their third game of the seas on, the Aggie “Fish” bowed to the Rice “Slimes” last night via a 41 to 27 score. Although the Fish showed im provement in their playing, the Slimes were too flashy for them. The loss of the game can be attributed to the inability of the Fish to make their free shots. They consistently missed the easy shots. The Fish are coached by Man ning Smith. High point men for Rice were Herman Walters and Guy Lewis, each making 10 points. For A. & M., Jack Robinson of Houston was high point man with 19 talleys to his credit. The half time score was 21 to 9.

Swimming Team Hands 41-34 Defeat To Dallas Athletic Club in Meet Here Adds Insult to Injury With 9 to 1 Squelching In Water Polo Encounter After snatching a victory over the Texas Aggies at Dallas, Feb ruary 8, the Dallas Athletic Club attempted to make it two in a row, but found the same ordeal wait ing for them at the P. L. Downs Jr. Natatorium, when the cadets blasted them into submission in a swimming meet held here Saturday night, 41 to 34. As a climax to the meet, the Aggies added insult to injury by drubbing D.A.C. hand ily in a waterpolo match, 9 to 1. Bob Taylor, dynamic Texas Ag gie sophomore, and Harold Hensley copped individual honors for the night, as both proved to be thorns in D.A.C.’s side. Taylor set up new records for the natatorium in the 220 and 440 yard free styles. In the former one, he came 5.2 seconds under the conference re cord held by Beeler of Texas Un iversity, while in the latter one he came 1.5 seconds under the con ference record held by Brazwell. Hensley came through in fine fashion in the 50 yard free style at 24 seconds, which is only .5 second under the pool record held by him. In the 100-yard free style his time of 55.1 seconds is two seconds under his own pool rec ord. The D. A. C. swimmers battled hard and never gave signs of giv ing up, but the Aggie tankers were out for revenge and weren’t to be denied. However, D. A. C. outshone t the Aggies in a number of events including the medley race, 100- yard back stroke, and the 100-yard breast stroke. Carrying most of the burden for the Dallas swim mers was Smoot whose time of 1. 10 in the 100-yard backstroke was barely short of his record. As a-final climax to the meet, a water-polo game was played in which the Aggies had easy sail ing all the way. The score was 9 (Continued on Page 4) Dancing Season!
