Horn- frogs in what seemed to be pretty wild hardwood game. Tuesday they at least came through alive. North Texas Teachers, the home of referee Doc Hayes, and S.M.U. have more in common than we realize. That game goes down in history as the roughest and the poorest called of the ’41 season. For the Aggies, there seemed to be missing the team play that they have had out before. Saturday night they face the Rice Owls who set them back once When Your Best Girl Is Here for the SPRING DANCES Come In To See Us For SANDWICHES and DRINKS CASEY’S In The “Y” COME BY TODAY AND GET MEASURED FOR YOUR UNIFORM Freshman and Junior Uniforms Ice Cream Pants Slacks for New Students R.

WM i#l Allen Defeats Fish 39-31 Winless Freshmen Lose 4th Straight; Martin Is High Man The Allen Academy Ramblers made it two in a row over the win less Texas Aggie Fish in a list less basketball game played yes terday afternoon at the DeWare Field House. The score was 39 to 31. Sherrill Martin again proved a poison to the Fish as he accounted for 18 points, exactly half of his team’s total. Sherrill broke loose time and again and all his team mates had to do was feed the ball to him as he seldom missed the hoop. Jack Robinson, with 7 points, was high man for the Fish, while “Red” Clifton’s aggresiveness showed up well near the close of the game. Allen grabbed a small lead at the start of the game which they never relinquished. Led by Kunge and Martin, the Ramblers built up a 20 to 17 lead at the half. The second half gjained momentum, but soon fell to a slow pace. Field goals by Martin, Mullins, and Fur nace brought the score to 26 to 18. The Fish started a rally near the close of the game to slash the Allen lead to a mere 4 points. Then they got too over-anxious, and missed many of their futile long shots or got them intercept ed. Martin and Davis accounted for the last two field goals to bring the score to 39 to 31. Al len had possession of the ball as the game ended.

Forfeits, ties, Volleyball and horseshoe pit- land high scoring scraps were the ching got off to a good start in Class A intramurals as not one forfeit was recorded for either event. All teams turned out and many thrilling tilts were reeled off. Some dozen teams started the ball rolling in the horseshoe pit ching campaign as “ringers” were heard all around under the big Kyle Field Stadium. M Infantry took the odd game in their battle with 1st Hdq. Field Artillery to eke out a 2 to 1 victory. In other close games, D Cavalry squeez ed by K Infantry, 2 to 1, as the Parker Boys got hot in each of their tilts; 2nd Hdq. Field Artill ery shaded D Field Artillery, 2 to 1; E Coast slipped by G Infantry by an identical score; C Field Artillery scored a 2 to 1 victory over 3rd Corps Headquarters; and F Coast blasted A Field Artillery into submission to the tune of 2 to 1. E Field Artillery and 1st Corps Hdq. copped all their games with B Field Artillery and E In fantry, respectively, to come out on top, 3 to 0. I Infantry’s 16 to 4 scalping of B Signal Corps was the feature game played on the speedball field, as postponed games are be- before 68 to 34. “There’ll be some changes made this week!” Such had best be the motto of the cadet cag- Some eighteen months ago John Kimbrough signed a contract with your rich uncle to take on a bit of military training for two bits a day. This week in New York he signed one with Doug Hertz to do a bit of fighting on the grid iron for what amounts to $103 a day.

Talk over the bowling tourn ament within your organization. Plans are beginning to be made with the tournament scheduled to begin with two or three weeks. Congratulations are in order for the tumbling team. Their show Monday night between the halves at the T. C. U. game proved to be one of the best ever presented. Marine Feulner is vying with male classmates in the surveying course at the Agricultural College of Utah. Quarterbacks Seek Answer to “What of Texas” Quarterback Johnny Jones and his College Station followers will present pictures of the Texas Un iversity and the Cotton Bowl games tonight in Guion Hall, according to “substitute” R. L. Elkins. Game time has been set at 7:30 p.m. and proceeds from the 25 cent admission charge will go to the Aggie T Club. Among the questions to be ans wered by the films will be “Just how good is Jack Crain and how much can he be counted on next year to lead Texas to the top?” An interesting sidelight comes with the story that in Austin last Monday afternoon Norman Spep set the Nocana star up for a great touchdown run. Behind perfect blocking and alert sidestepping he was to make the life saving run. Crain tripped over Spec Sanders on the one yard line and then blamed it on his weight. On the next shooting he earned the six points. In the Cotton Bowl pictures, the tricky play of the eastern teams as shown by the Fordham Rams will give an early glance at the football of tomorrow. It has been accepted that a team without a trick play for every yard line will travel little distance next season. .

Cavalry gave G Field Artillery something to re member them by when they gave the “buggy boys” a 13 to 2 set back. However, F Field Artillery avenged that defeat when they drubbed A Cavalry to the tune of 10 to 1. D Cavalry’s 2-2 dead lock with E Engineers was the closest game of the day. A pass accounted for the Engineer’s tally, while two penalties were the re sult of the Cavalry’s score. In other games. B Coast outlasted C Infantry, 12 to 7; F Infantry came through with a 4 to 2 victory over A Engineers; and 5th Corps Hdq. ran rough shod over B Signal Corps 12 to 4.

Leading them in their quest for extra hoops will be Frank Carswell and Bill Tom Closs, closely followed by tall Bob Kinney. Carswell hits a loop almost everytime he gets close and the Aggies will be dogging his tracks with an idea of holding him off the backboard. It was Carswell who set early Conference play afire for the Owls when he connected for 34 points against A. & M., e- nough to tie the opposing Aggies. His teammates weren’t content to let Carswell do it alone, however, and they racked up an additional 34 markers.

In only the last two meets both of them have broken the amazing number of six pool records and three Southwest Conference rec ords. They were also members of a record-breaking relay team.
