Karowmen Open Banner Play With Baylor HO. "HUB* JOHNSON BATTALION SPORTS EDITOR Baylor, Texas and Abilene Christian Here Tomorrow For Ball Game and Track Meet Two Southwest Conference schools come here tomorrow in the form of the Baylor diamondeers and the Texas tracksters. It will be the first league game for Coach Marty Karow’s nine. Three losses are behind but now facing the Aggies are those played for “keeps.” •EEJmEEK The Bears open their conference play this afternoon against the Rice Owls in Houston with Frank Golden slated for the mound. This leaves Joe Terry and Bob Miller for the two game series here. Here is as good time as ever— so, crawling out on that limb once more, it looks like the Aggies, Tex as and Rice will fight for the upper bracket this season with the Owls coming from the dark shad ows to show the power. Two of the greatest half-milers in the country will race around the Kyle Field track as Abilene Chris- tion’s Beadles and Texas’ Um- stattd furnish one of the highlights of the afternoon three way meet. Texas will be the top favorite of the meet with the Abilene school and the Aggies fighting each other for the second spot. Last Saturday Jitterbug Hen derson added his bit in the javelin, shot put and high jump. This rais ed the hopes of the cadet squad a bit. Then, Monday Roy Bucek and Derace Moser pulled muscles in their legs. If they come through and the remainder of the team runs true to form, look for the Aggies to nose out the Christians, but we’ll let the University boy go, eh Bill?

Since 1891 Dear Mom: All of the Juniors and Seniors have ad vised me to buy a LAUTERSTEIN UNI FORM for next year - and they should know, ’cause most of ’em are wearing ’em this year. Boy! do they look swell. I’m going to place my order early for a real saving. Love, John LAUTE RSTEIN’S North Gate ◄ Bears Are Dark Horses Of SWC Race A&M Victory Will Depend Upon Bumpers’ Pitching The Texas Aggies pry open the lid on their conference baseball schedule here tomorrow afternoon when they collide with the Baylor Bears in the first of a two game series. Lem “Lefty” Bumpers, ace southpaw of the cadet hurling staff, and Frank Golden, the shin ing star of the Bruin nine, will probably be the opposing hurlers. Coach Lloyd Russell’s baseball nine is considered to be the “dark horse” in the coming campaign due to the inexperience of their line up. Jimmy Witt, Don Haley, and Jack Lummus are the only vet erans of the team. Golden, who throws the ball from the portside, is the only letterman pitcher who is back for another fling. Joe Ter ry, former third baseman, and Bob Miller, promising newcomer, loom as certain starters. Witt is the leading hitter on the team, slug ging the ball at a .347 clip last year. He also has one of the strongest arms in the league. The catching staff is the biggest problem confronting the Bears. Loss of Babe Bryce, all-conference backstop last year, has handicap ped Baylor considerably. Curtis Byrd, Edwin Dulak, and Grover Wilcox, are some of the candidates for the position, but all lack ex perience. Of the three, Byrd looms as the most promising. Bumpers’ fast breaking curve will be a deciding factor in the Baylor tilt. If it breaks right, the left-hander will be hard to handle. Marion “Dookie” Pugh, Aggie cap tain, will be relied upon to supply the power against Baylor, while Bill Buchanan and Jack Lindsey, the cadet keystone combination, are expected to shine afield. Baylor has won two exhibition games this year, while the Aggies have been set back in their three tilts. However a remedy can be supplied in the fact that the cadets engaged top-flight competition. The Bears defeated the McMurry semi-pro team, 9 to 1, and 16 to 6, respectively, last week in Abilene. This will be the second game in as many days for the Bruins as they open their conference schedule against Rice today in Houston.

Cinder Squad Will Strain to Beat Texas Friday The Texas Aggie track squad, improving with each meet, will take on Texas University and Abil ene Christian College tomorrow afternoon at 1:30 in a triangular m eet just prior to the A. & M.- Baylor baseball game. The time has been reset by Coach Dough Rollins in order that the fans may vieW both the track meet and the baseball game. This will be the cadet’s first appearance on their famed Kyle Field, and Coach Dough Rollins’ thinly clads will atempt to give their best performance of the year. Texas will be , staunch favorites to annex the meet in view of their excellent performance on the track throughout the year. They have won top honors in every meet that ^ey have entered. However, the Aggies gave them a hot fight in t he Fort Worth Exposition meet before they succumbed, and are ex pected to be a meddlesome stumb- jjng block in the Longhorn’s path. Roy Bucek, who pulled a tendon in the San Marcos meet last week, will be ready to go tomorrow. He has been the only consistent win ner in the Aggies’ camp and is ex pected to vie for top honors with Umstattd of Texas and Beadeles of Abilene Christian. Bucek's spec ialty is in the 120 and 220 low hurdles, while Umstattd and Bead eles specialize in the half mile and the 880 yard run. Earl “Bama” Smith’s time of 9.9 in the 100 yard dash at San Marcos also makes him a biff threat in the meet. Weatherman Hits Foul, But Softball Gets Underway for Four Games Tuesday By Bob Myers Softball finally got under way Tuesday when four class A and six class B games were played. Rains last week and more rain yesterday have set the schedules in reverse and will necessitate the playing of many rescheduled games during and after the regular sea son. Boxing has pro gressed the quarter final and || semi-final stages with , some very good performances in the ring and a growing number of |I1 spectators in the W stands. There have been My mi a few cases of fighters losing points a round or even the fight because of fouling. Most of these have been uninten tional fouls and in the other ins tances, had the fighter been fam iliar with the rules they probably would not have occured. All fouls are illustrated in a sketch just above the scales in the Intra mural office for the benefit of par ticipants—look them over before your match.
