    Owls, After Win Over Bears, Face Aggies
Here Friday; Track Team Runs In Houston
Up one and down one went the
Karowmen this past week-end as
the Baylor Bears claimed a one
out Of three record in as many days.
Thursday the Rice Owls topped
the Bears 8 to 3, and the next two
days the Bears and the Aggies
broke even.
Come this Friday the Rice Owls
and the Aggies will meet on Kyle
Field to tell the tale of the early
favorite.
In Houston today Captain Jim
Thomason will lead his tracksters
into competition with the Owls. It’s
the first up for the Owls but

Brunson will have a tough team
for the Rollinsmen.
Last Friday Jitterbug Hender
son filled his bill. Not only did
he pitch two innings of ball a-
gainst the Bears but in warming
up for the two frames he tied for
first place in the high jump, threw
the javelin, threw the shot, sailed
the discus, and tried his hand at
broad jumping. On top of that he
did a good bit of walkink between
events. Some warm up!
Not this year, but next year—
the Texas Aggies have become the
the first Southwest Conference
School to resume relations with
Texas Tech.
A game has been scheduled for
the Aggies in 1942 and another is
in the making for the following
year.
Manning Smith’s cadet netmen
face the T.C.U. Homed Frogs
today on the clay courts. It is the
first conference matching for the
Aggies.
They meet Southern Methodist
University here later this week.
Roger Plaisted of the National
Red Cross commenced his water
director’s course in the natatorium
last night.
Anyone desiring to attend the
classes is especially invited to come
out tonight.
You can’t call it the hot seat,
but nevertheless Willie Zapalac
won’t be hitting the bed too hard
these next few days. Saturday
night he and a few teeth on a wood
saw tangled at the wrong end.
With Coach Hub McQuillan’s ap
pointment as head cage coach at
Texas Christian University, the
Athletic Department was rushed
with letters of application for the
vacancy.
The job will be filled by one of
the present members of the staff.
Talk says Marty Karow, baseball
and backfield coach will take the
job.
Friday a week ago four car
loads of boys left College Station
bound for Itasca. There is located
the Presbyterian Orphans Home,
housing over one hundred children.
For a whole afternoon these Ag
gies entertained the younger boys
and girls with their acrobatic feats
and physical demonstrations.
Around the conference—Rice net-
ters defeated the East Texas
Teachers who in turn topped the
Southern Methodist squad last
week ... it looks like the Owls
will be strong on the clay courts
again this year . . . Texas sent
seven men to the national swim
ming meet in Michigan this week
while the Aggies sent their hopes
in four, Hensley, Taylor, McKey
and Davis . . . Baylor’s hurler,
Bob Miller, is in some way kin to
Glen Miller of music fame . . .
the T. S. C. W. rifle toters have
called off the return engagement
on the range . . .“30”.

Aggie Nine 7 to 5
Cadets Use Four
Pitchers in Effort
To Throttle Baylor
Coasting along behind Frank
“Lefty” Golden’s five hit pitch
ing performance and some timely
hitting by Jimmy Witt and Dolly
Harris, the Baylor Bears finally
outlasted the Texas Aggies in the
twelfth inning, 7 to 5, here Sat
urday afternoon to square the ser
ies at one all.
Charlie Stevenson started on the
mound for the cadets, but was the
victim of a three hit and three
run barrage in the opening inning.
Coach Marty Karow then paraded
Bill Henderson, Lefty Bumpers,
and Roy Peden in an effort to
stymie the Bruins. Of the four
twirlers, Bumpers, who had just
shut out the Bears the day before
was the most effective. The left
hander replaced Henderson after
one was down in the fourth and
proceeded to shut out the Bears
with one hit for five innings. This
made twelve consecutive scoreless
frames by the Aggie left-hander.
Roy Peden then came from behind
the plate to replace Bumpers, af
ter the left hander had tired and
walked two straight men in the
tenth.
Golden started on the hill for
the Bears and finished out in a
blaze of glory. His left-handed
slants puzzled the Aggies through
out the game, and but for some er
ratic support from his mates would
have had a shut out.
Baylor pulled a stunt in the
third inning that made the Brook
lyn Dodgers of the old days look
like top-notch performers. After
retiring six consecutive men, Golden
finally gave a walk to Buchanan.
The Aggie shortstop rambled on
to third as Curt Byrd, Bruin back
stop, missed two of Golden’s fast
ones. Peden followed with an
other walk, and stole second. Hen
derson struck out. Golden then
put over two straight strikes on
Rothe, and on the throwback to
the pitcher’s box, Byrd threw the
ball over the pitcher’s head. Buch
anan scored on the error, with Pe
den going to third. Richardson tried
to make a play for him, but threw
the ball over the third baseman’s
head. Peden came in on the error.
The Bears added two more runs
off Henderson in the fourth while
the cadets added a run apiece in

Poloists Make
Fine Showing With
Houston Teams
Texas A. & M.’s hustling polo
club tackled the fast Houston
Ramblers and the Huisache mal-
letmen on Post Oak Field in Hous
ton Sunday afternoon and came
through with a great showing a-
gainst this high-ranking competi
tion. They held the Ramblers, a
more than 12 goal outfit, to a
one to one tie, and they played
brilliantly against a deadly com
bination of top-flight players.
Following this three-chukker
game, the Aggies clashed with
Huisache for another three-chuk-
kers of banging the wooden ball and
dropped the tilt 7 to 1. The Hui
sache team ranks several 6-goal
men and lesser talent that should
have completely overwhelmed A.
& M., but Captain Sid MacDonald
led them through with a mighty
showing. McDonald played well and
he protected the Aggie goal val
iantly with saves from his number
4 position.
Playing on tired mounts, the
Aggies (counted on McGowan’s
marker, but Bob Nichoaldss with
five goals, Bill Dritt and Bob Far-
ish with one goal apiece, fought
the College Station team into sub
mission. A. & M.’s opponents were
extremely well mounted, sporting
ponies who have price tags in four
figures, while the Aggies used
their government mounts. Des
pite this handicap, Major Steven’s
charges gave their opposing mas
ters of the game a real battle all
the way.
The first game saw Vernon Cook
of Houston tally for the Ramblers
while Carl Maloney, Aggie star,
pushed one over for A. & M.
Commenting after the game, na
tionally known poloist Bob Farish
gave A. & M. credit for champion
ship material and he stated that
he believed experience would bring
out their talent and team work
even more.

Intramurals
The Aggies placed second in the
Conference Meet last year with
the Rice team in fourth place.

ards defeated Harry Crissman and
George Pierce in the doubles, 3

and 3; and Judson Womble de
feated James Deal, 3 and 2.
Sunday Hauser defeated Guerns
ey and Arthur and Crissman and
Pierce downed Warne and Womhle.
Hauser defeated Guernsey, Rich
ards topped Crissman, Warne won
from Arthur, and Pierce defeated
Womble.
That afternoon Hauser and Ri

defeated Pierce and Arthur.
Rollins’ Team
Meets Owls In
Houston Today
Aggies’ Second Dual
Meet of Season; Owl’s
First Intercollegiate Meet
Moving south to Houston today.
Coach Dough Rollins’ harriers will
take on the Rice Owls in the Ag
gie’s first dual track meet and the
Owls’ first intercollegiate meeting
of the season.
It will be the second conference
school the cadets have met in
close competition, falling to the
Longhorns here last Friday. In
Laredo and Fort Worth the Ag
gies competed against league
schools, but these meets were open
to all conferences.
The only experience the Hous
ton runners have had as a team this
year has been intra-squad compe
tition, the last during the San Ja
cinto Relays last week-end.
Emmet Brunson will send a fast
team to the track and will have a
team in top shape while the Aggies
will miss the services of Derace
Moser in the quarter mile.
