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?

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.

A good way to get the most out
of anything is to pause now and
then and refresh yourself ...with
ice-cold Coca-Cola. Its taste is
delicious. Its after-sense of re
freshment is delightful. A short
pause for ice-cold Coca-Cola is
the refreshing thing to do. So
when you pause throughout the
day, make it the pause that re
freshes with ice-cold Coca-Cola.
