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

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

“Smoke” Prowell, Wrestling Referee,
Is An Ump Who Needs No Seeing-Eye Dog
By Bob Myers
Unheralded and unsung hero of
the past wrestling season is Eddie
(Smoke) Pro well, third man on the
mat, who called them all just as
he saw them and had no complaints.
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.

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-

er, has somewhat darkened the
team’s championship aspirations;
this year, but addition of six
or seven recruits and the return of
lettermen Henry “Beartracks” Hau-
r and Henry “Slick” Richards
gives Coach Frank Anderson some
thing to work on.
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..
