The Rice Owls who set the Ag
gies back in their first conference
game this year in a three way
tie—Rice 34, Aggies 34, Carswell
34—take to the hardwood floor in
DeWare Field House this evening
to keep the cadets down next to
the cellar.
Earlier this week Rice won by a
heavy score from the Mustangs
and then by a close margin over
the Horned Frogs. The Aggies won
from the Frogs by a close count
and lost to the Mustangs by five
points.
Team practice since Tuesday
night shows the Aggies in better
shape for the game.
We're taking the Aggies in an
inspired fight.

Aggie Gagers Have 2nd Chance at Owls Tonite
1941 Horned Frog Squal Getting a
Triple Threat Spring Training Session
Meyer Is
Trying to Attain
3 Fundamental Objectives
A triple-threat spring training
session! That is Coach Dutch Mey
er’s description of the 30-day grid
workouts which began Friday, Feb.
21, for the 1941 Horned Frog squad.
“We’re out to attain three ob
jectives,” Coach Meyer says. “To
improve our passing attack,
strengthen our defense, and plug
the hole at center.”
Coach Meyer’s face is particular
ly red because of the poor passing
record of the 1940 Frogs.
“We were about the poorest pass
ers in the league!” he moans.
And when you've had about the
best passing in the nation, with
such boys as Sammy Baugh and
Davi<^ O’Brien, that kind of a
record is hard to take.
Burden of the pass tossing will
fall upon Kyle Gillespie, senior
from Paris, whose knee troubles
appear to be over, and Beecher
Montgomery, junior from Ozona,
who came along fast at the close
of the ’40 schedule. Meyer admits
he is high on Montgomery.
“Most of our passing trouble,
though, has been on the receiving
end,” Coach Meyer points out.
“We dropped nearly 40 passes last
fall that should have been com
pleted. We’re going to concentrate
on holding them!”
Strengthening the defense prob
ably involves no new tactics for
the Frogs. “It just means a lot
of hard work on fundamentals and
the hope that some important soph
omore replacements make good,”
Meyer comments.
“At center we have a real prob
lem! We don’t have a single ex
perienced boy for the position.
Billy Blackstone, junior from
Hearne, will, I believe, make us
a top hand if his leg (broken last
fall) proves strong enough. James
Woodfin, Crane, and A. C. Odell,
Hico, are two sophs who show
real possibilities. They both weigh
around 195 pounds and will be giv-

About 53 boys are expected to

a regulation game will be played.
“We’ll have a better team in ’41
than we had in ’40,” is as far as
Coach Meyer will go in predicting.

Dr. T. O. Walton made the
presentation of the medals and in
his remarks stated that some of
the money was already in use, and
that he thought the idea of the

SMU Takes
Tuesday Game
By Score 45-40
Game Is One of Season’s
Roughest; 38 Fouls Called
During Progress of Game
Southern Methodist set the Ag
gies back 45 to 40' Tuesday nigh't
in the roughest game of the seas
on and kept McQuillan’s men
from getting over the half way
mark.
A strong defense was thrown
up by the cadets in the early part
of the game but the Mustangs
gradually broke through to take a
20 to 17 lead at the half.
The second half was entirely in
the hands of the Dallas team
the Aggies could never overtake
the small overhead count.
Twice they came within one
point of tying the Ponies, but with
Bill Dawson and Sammy Dwyer
fouling out, the Methodists suc
cessfully held their lead until the
gun.
Bryan Lloyd who fouled out mid
way in the second half held the
high point lead for the night with
14 points. J. T. Lang, scrapping
Aggie forward from Kurtin, led
the cadet scoring race with 10
points, being closely followed by
Bill Henderson with nine.
Thirty-eight fouls were called
in all, 21 against the Mustangs.

Intramurals
Wrestling Takes Spotlight in Class
B Intramurals as 80 Men Enter Meet
By Mike Haikin
Wrestling took the spotlight in
Class B intramurals as some 80
wrestlers turned out and gave some
thrilling matches to the 100 or so
fans present at the DeWare Field
House.
The intramural program is fi
nally rounding into fine shape af
ter a rather slow start this semes
ter. Postponed games, forfeits, and
midterm exams had plenty to do
with retarding the program.
Handball, horseshoe pitching,
and water-polo made their intial
bow in Blass B intramurals Monday.
Five games were recorded in hand
ball, with A Field Artillery’s 2
to 1 victory over B CWS being
the feature. Other close games in
cluded B Coast’s squeeze over A
Infantry, 2 to 1; and A Engineers’
win over L Infantry, by an identical
score. A CWS’s rout of D Field
Artillery, and C Engineers’ blast
of H Infantry were the other fea
ture games played on the hand
ball court.
FORFEIT DOGHOUSE

Horseshoe pitching saw some
thrilling games played off under
Kyle Field Stadium with some 8
teams participating. D Infantry
took the odd game in their series
with B Signal Corps to come out
on top, 2 to 1. In a battle of the
“paddle-feet,” B Infantry ran
roughshod over I Infantry, 3 to 0.
In other games, I Field Artillery
blasted F Infantry, 3 to 0; C Coast
blanked Mg. Cavalry to the tune
of 3 to 0; F Field Artillery eked
out a 2 to 1 win over F Coast; and
C Cavalry shaded C Cavalry shad
ed E Engineers, 2 to 1.
Shoupe and Hess purpped it a
goal apiece to lead B CWS to a
close cropped 2 to 1 victory over
I Field Artillery in a feature water-
polo game. Radley accounted for
the lone talley of the “buggy boys”.
Hdq. Signal Corps showed that
they will go far and wide in the
water polo campaign when they
all but ran off with the ball in
lacing C Cavalry, 5 to 0. In other
games, K Infantry outlasted B
Field Artillery, 3 to 2, in another
thriller; and B CWS splashed to a
3 to 0 victory at the expense of D
Coast.
Horseshoe pitching and volley
ball cluttered the Class A intra
mural program the past two days.
Teams were quite evenly matched
in volleyball with only two outfits
coming through with decisive wins.
That included D Cavalry’s 2 to 0
victory over G Field Artillery and
C Infantry’s duplication of the
Cavalry’s feat at the expense of
H Field Artillery. Other games
found A Infantry on top over Hdq.
Cavalry by the slim margin of 2
to 1; Artillery Band eked out a
thriller over K Infantry by an
identical score; E Coast came
through with a win over their
“cousins” from A Coast, 2 to 1;
and F Infantry found themselves
on the long end of a 2 to 1 count
over D Field Artillery.
Five games were recorded in
Class A horseshoe pitching with
scores of 3 to 0 and 2 to 1 being
listed. In the former class included
5th Corps Hdq.’s decisive victory
over G Infantry and D Infantry’s
win over C Engineers. Mg. Cav
alry’s hair-raising victory over I
Infantry and F Field Artillery’s
win over A CWS were the other
games played under the big sta
dium at Kyle Field.

Patty Berg
To Tutor Aggie
Golfers March 5
Miss Patty Berg, outstanding
national woman golfer, will pay
the Texas A. & M. College campus
a visit on Wednesday, March 5, to
demonstrate some golf shots for
the benefit of the Texas Aggie
golf team members, as well as
any niblic 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 his team members will
pick up some new tricks—enough
tricks in fact to have a chance for
the Southwest Conference title
this year.
Miss Berg plans to make a tour
of the state and will make pub
lic appearances at many courses
in the interest of bettering golf
duffer’s cards and when her spon
sor offered to send her down to
Aggieland, Col. Anderson lost no
time in saying “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 club in the
golfer’s bag when in the hands of
an expert.

in the United State produce yearly
products having a market value of
around $30,000,000.
(Owls Won First Game by Wide Margin;
Fracas Should Be Much Closer This Time
Aggies Must
Stop Carswell and Kinney
In Order to Win the Fracas
The in-and-out Rice Owl basket
ball squad will be the next visitors
of the luckless Texas Aggies when
the two teams collide at the De-
Ware Field House in a feature
game of the Southwest Conference
race.
Always a colorful outfit on the
hardwood floor, the Owls will
start a lineup of stars which
should handle the hustling Aggie
team. Included in their array of
Aces is Frankie Carswell, who is
still a dilema in the minds of the
cadet cagers. The 34 points in a
previous game against the Aggies
missed the record by only one
point. He should be ready to go
as he has been on a scoring ram
page in his last few games. If the
It Took Three
Years to Get Roy
Young’s Shoes Filled
Size fourteen shoes that have
been vacant since the graduation
of Roy Young are seeing service
on the gridiron once more on the
feet of Acie McAda, a freshman
who came out for end this week.
The shoes that would be boxes
for an ordinary pair of footwear
were left ovsr from the days that
the Athletic Department ordered
several pairs to keep Young from
playing his tackle position bare
footed and seemed destined to re
main museum pieces until Acie
came out to fill them.
■Aggies miracuously stop Carswell
there is still Bob Kinney to con
sider. Kinney was the bright star
in the Owls’ early victories, but has
slumped to a small extent lately.
However, he came back in fine
style to account for 11 points in
the S. M. U. tilt.
Coach Hub McQuillen isn’t one
to give up so easily, however. He
has been working hard on the Ag
gie defense lately, and should have
a better one than he put on in the
S. M. U. fracas. Bill Henderson,
who dealt the Owls misery on the
gridiron will probably vie for top
scoring honors with Carswell. Sam
my Dwyer, who combines football
with his floor game, should be
ready and “raring” to go tonight.
Dwyer’s excellent guarding of
Johnny Sebeck last Tuesday night
kept the Mustang ace from scor
ing but one field goal. The rough
tactics of “Iron-man” Mike Coki-
nos should prove a big asset to
the Aggie cause. Mike’s aggres
siveness near the close of the
S. M. U. game gave the fans many
thrills.
Here are the probable starting
lineups:
