Boston Bees Defeat Aggie Nine 10-5
Texas University Wins Swimming Meet
77-70 for Tenth Consecutive Season
Aggies Annex Seven
Of Ten Firsts; Steers
Take Most of Remainder
Alfter setting two new South
west Conference swimming re
cords and winning seven of the
ten first places, the Texas Aggies
came out on the short end of a
77 r 70 score in the Conference
meet. Texas University won the
meet for the tenth consecutive
time on the strength of second,
third, fourth and fifth places.
The two records were set by
Harold Hensley in the 50 yd. free
style and Bob Taylor in the 220
yd. free-style. Hensley swam the
distance in record time of 24 sec
onds flat to slide under the old
time of 24.4.
Taylor’s performance marked
him the outstanding swimmer of
the Conference as well as the
meet. In addition to retiring
Beeler, Texas, from the 220 yd.
and 440 yd. free-style throne, he
came in as the dark-horse winner
of the 100 yd. backstroke event.
Highlight of the meet that
brought the spectators to their
feet was the breaststroke swim in
which Beeler, Texas, and Mont
gomery, S.M.U. surged in to the
finish line in what looked to be a
dead heat. The officials, who were

Intramural Activity Confined to
Horseshoes, Volleyball and Handball
By Bob Myers
All activity in the intramural
department of sports has been
confined to the handball courts,
volleyball courts, and the horse
shoe stakes for the past few days
because of bad weather. Since the
sun came out in
the face of the

we can plan on
a full week of
softball to bring
the season intjo
full swing.

Quillan’s teams have finished just
ahead of the Frogs. His 1940 team
was the only conference team to
lose to a Frog squad in two sea
sons. Although while at A. & M.,
McQuillan has done a superb job
of assimilating what material there
is available.
McQuillan, who came to Aggie
land in 1935 has been coach of
the Aggie cagers since 1937.
Coach McQuillan has not as yet
announced his plans, but it is prob
able he will remain here until
school is out.

Aggies Net 5 Runs
In Eighth Inning Rally
Dahlgren and
Rowell Hit Homers
By Mike Haikin
Pounding out seventeen hits, in
cluding homers by Babe Dahl
gren and Carvel Rowell, the Bos
ton Bees shellacked the Texas Ag
gies, 10 to 5 before some 6000
screaming fans here yesterday af
ternoon.
“Lefty” Bumpers started for the
Aggies, but his fast breaking
curve was no enigma to the Na
tional Leaguers. Ed Garnett went
the distance for the Bees, and
but for the eighth frame had the
Aggies well in hand.
The Bees wasted no time in get
ting to Bumpers by counting two
runs in the opening inning. With
one out Gremp singled to center
and scampered to second on Prei-
bisch’s bingle. Both advanced base
as Mano grounded out. Wilborn
followed with a lusty double to
score both men. Miller grounded
out third to first to retire the
side.
Dahlgren’s circuit blow started
things rolling in the second as the
Bees accounted for four runs. Masi
followed with a single and was
sent to second on Garnett’s sac
rifice. Sisti scored Masi with a
single and pulled up at second on
Scoggin’s error. Gremp poked a
one-baser to right field with Masi
stopping at third. Gremp stole
second, and both he and Masi
scored on Prebisch’s single. Bump
ers then bore down and struck out
Manno and Wilborn to retire the
side.
The cadets threatened mildly on
Carnet in the third inning. Carden
opened with a single and took sec
ond as Miller threw the ball away.
Bumpers followed with a walk,
but Rothe hit into a double play
to end the threat.
Bumpers retired Boston in 1-2-3
order in the fourth, but the Bees
got to him for a talley in the
fifth. Bray opened the inning with
a single, went to second as Lind-
