HO."HUB" JOHNSON BATTALION SPORTS EDITOR 1942 Cage Team to be Built Around Five Lettermen and Six Numeralmen Coach Hub McQuillan will have five returning lettermen next year around which to build his team for yesterday the Athletic Council awarded nine letters to the varsity team and six numerals to the first year squad. Captain Bill Dawson was award ed his third letter as was J. T. Lang and Harold Duncan. Other letters went to Charlie Stevenson, Sammie Dwyer, Bill Henderson, R. B. Bayer, Ray Jarrett, and Fred Nabors. Mike Cokinos lacked little more than a game’s time to letter since he was ineligible until mid-term. Freshman numerals were award ed Jamie Dawson (little ? dog), A. M. Ebde, T. S. Parker, J. G. Robinson, C. L. Sterling and D. L. Walker. A word for help was sent out by the fencing team last week. The other minors sports teams of the college are on the “go” but the swordsmen lack the proper in struction and guidance of a coach. They have a sponsor, the equip ment and the man power but lack coaching. If you think that in any way you might fit in the picture, drop a line to team captain Tom Akarman, Dean Kyle, sponsor Lieutenant Sorrey or this desk. Tomorrow night the Texas Uni versity will be out after its tenth straight title. The preliminaries start at 7:30 with the finals scheduled for Sat urday. It was a good bit of prediction two years ago when a Boston Col lege football program carried the statement, “We’re going places.” It was the first game under Coach Frank Leahy and the pub- BOB DALTON Southwest Conterenee representative for Hamilton Tailoring Company is now showing spring lines Aggieland Inn Room 209 - A '- Ilk / - - ttete’s the reUeshui^ treat you realty go %... delicious DOUBiimm cum Bight in step with campus lite •••' s Wmm til... ■ that’s DOUBLEMIHT GUM.

Thinly Clads To San Marcos For Meet Saturday Jumpers and Vaulters Must Fill Gap Left By Loss of 4 Team Members Climbing a rung higher each meet, the Aggie thinly clads trav el to San Marcos Saturday for a dual meet with the San Marcos Teachers College. Finishing a low fourth in the Border Olympic and claiming few points in the invitation meet in San Antonio, last week they finished close behind the University of Texas in Fort Worth. The cadets and teachers met here last week in a four-way meet with Sam Houston and Abilene run ners being the other half. Four points were all that gave the Ag gies the win over the San Marcos team crowding the track and field for second place. Captain Ed Dreiss led the win ner list, claiming first places in the hurdles with Jim Thomason taking the shot put and Jude Smith the javelin throw. The cadet 440-yard relay team ran composed of Dreiss, Roy Bucek, Bob Kiss inger and Red Cecil also proved the best. Graduation took Smith and Dreiss and unforseen circumstances caused Cecil to drop out. Bob Kissinger left school for Randolph. Coach Dough Rollins Is now fac ed with the question as to whether or not his high jumpers and pole vaulters can fill the gap. Bucek will be the favorite in the two hurdle events. In the 440-yd run “Frog” Johnston will wear the Aggie colors. Derace Moser and Earl Smith will run the 100-yd dash with Smith returning for the 220-yd event. Albert Ricks will pole vault and high jump for the Aggies with Pete Watkins also in the high jump as well as the 220-yd low hurdles. Ralph Henderson will run the half mile. Felix Bucek and Pete Henry will toss the discuss for the cadets. Other meets to follow are— March 29 Texas, Abilene Chris tian and A. & M. here. April 1 Rice Institute at Hous ton April 5 Texas Relays in Austin April 19 S.M.U., T.C.U., Bay lor and A. & M. in Waco. April 26 Drake Relays, Des Moines, Iowa.

More will probably be seen of him at the current box ing matches along || with Jimmy Davis and Mr. Penberthy. Several leather jackets have been left in the gym and on various athletic fields along with a pair of pants that some one walked off without. It’s mighty cold weather to be going around without a jacket—All of the above articles may be claimed at the Intramural office. My era FORFEIT DOGHOUSE H Infantry Infantry Band D Coast Artillery Class B Handballers from D Infantry, D Engineers, I Infantry, each pulled in a 2-1 game by out playing G Coast Artillery, Machine Gun Cavalry, and F Coast Artillery respectively. On the Volleyball court, B Field Artillery played I Infantry two decisive matches to come away with an easy 2-0 game. The first match was won 15-4 but the In fantrymen came back fighting in the second one and lost it only by the close score of 15-13. Freshmen water poloists from C Cavalry and D Field Artillery played to a 1-1 deadlock, each team being unable to penetrate the others’ defense for an additional point that would have meant a win. Three one-sided Volleyball games saw the same number of 2-0 scores when B Chemical Warfare, E Coast Artillery, and' D Engineers gained easy wins over A Coast Artillery, C Engineers and L In fantry respectively.

Swimmers Must Outpaddle TU to Annex Conference Adamson Pessimistic ».“■ Of Chances to Break Texas 10-Win Streak Art Adamson, Aggie swimming coach, and a fourteen man team will leave Aggieland tomorrow noon for the “Forty Acres” to participate in the Southwest Conference Swimming meet. Four other teams will be in Aus tin for the occasion, one of which will represent Texas Christian Un iversity. This is the first year in Conference History that the Frogs have entered a team. The other three teams are Baylor, Southern Methodist University, and the Un iversity of Texas. The Longhorns are angling for their tenth consecutive win and the statistics book gives a strong in dication of their continuing such a course. A. & M. is the only team that would have a chance to win over them and Adamson has been unable to figure out a way to gather in the few fourth and fifth place points that will be the decid- Hauser, Richards Pace Golf Team Through Fort Worth Meet; Rice Match Next Exhibition By Mike Haikin The Aggie golf team, after gaining fourth place at the Fort Worth Exposition, will mark time until March 28 when they go to -fHouston to meet Rice Institute ference meet held at Austin in in a featured match. \ conjunction with the track meet Loss of Bill McMahon, ace golf- ^jch w jn come off May 9 and Special - Free!

Championship hopes rest en tirely on the shoulders of Hau ser and Richards. Both of them came through in fine style at the Fort Worth meet last week, but the team,, as a whole wound up in fourth place. Hauser won the second place in individual scoring, with a low 76, while Richards won the runnerup spot in the putting and approaching match. Kjelley and Warren were the other Aggies who participated in the meet. Although the team has lost a few lettermen, the new additions may prove to be just the stimulant Coach Anderson needs. Some twen ty eager candidates applied for membership to the team. Of these, only eight were eligible for mem bership in the Country Club. Those who did not accomplish their end still can practice at the club, but they will be assessed a fee of 25 cents for each match. The eight members, then, play a match a- gainst each other, and the lowest four are chosen for each contest the cadets play. The Aggie schedule includes five conference teams and two other teams, probably Texas Wesleyan and Texas Tech or North Texas State Teachers College. However, those matches are only prelimin ary attractions to the big con- May 10. Members making up the golf squad, besides Hauser and Rich ards, include Andy Kelley, Bob Warren, Robin Rominger, Tom Har- ison, Jud Womble, and John Rob erts. Of these, Roberts is the only sophomore.. We Check Everything When you drive in our station you will receive expert attention and complete service for your car.
