Today’s Horse Show to Be Greatest Ever

Cavalry Ball, and a scribe longing
for Denton environment. This leav
es yours truly for the working
duties.

it will be an all day affair with
the afternoon performance schedul
ed for 1:30.
Show horses, cow ponies, and
polo mounts will go to make up
the display.
The event which will probably
draw much of the spectator’s in
terest, as is will depend on the
spectator, will be the Novice Polo

Event.
Strangers to the horse game will
be given a horse to ride, a mallet,
and a ball. The first of the con
testants to knock the ball across
a line some 75 or 100 yards away
from the start will be judged the
winner and probably rushed to
come out for the team.
Coach of the polo team, Major
Stevens, tried to name your scribe
as one of the entries but educa
tion calls we’re glad to say.
While on the fast moving game,
it’s interesting to note that the
two teams the Aggies met in Hous
ton last Sunday will enter the
Southwest Intra-Circuit Polo
Championship playoffs today with
twelve and thirteen goal ratings.
The Aggie team will split and
play an added attraction to the
Cavalry week-end celebration and
horse show as they meet tomorrow
on Jackson Field, out on the air
port toad.
Texas became the only unde
feated team of the Southwest in
baseball this week with the sea
son still in its infancy.
Baylor faced the Ponies and with
Bob Miller on the mound fell
behind, allowing three hits, four
walks, and three runs off the
sophomore. Joe Terry was called
to the mound and the Bears cams
out on top 12 to 7.
The following day they handed
S. M. U. their second defeat.
Bill Henderson claimed the Class
A Intramural heavyweight title
Thursday night, taking a three
round decision from Dub Sibley.
It was an even match with Sib
ley taking punches and then rush
ing the tree-top end to deliver
many to the bread basket.
In the long run, height of the
boxers made the difference as in
the Mike Cokinos-Bob Taylor
bout.
Another sport went on the list
here this week with the forming
of the Sailing Club. It is spon
sored by the Houston Yachting
Club, the organization which held
the first inter-collegiate race last
year.

Intramurals
Record Crowd Expected Tonight
To Witness Intramural Boxing Finals
By Mike Haikin
A record crowd is expected to
be present at DeWare Field House
tonight when the pugilists of dif
ferent weight classifications fight
it out for the college crown. Some
1200 screaming cadets were pres
ent at the semi-final matches
Thursday night that saw some of
the best fights of the current
season come off.
Most of that crowd, however,
came out to see the Henderson-
Sibley bout, which was designed to
be the feature match of the even
ing. Instead they were a bit disap
pointed in that the gridiron stars
did not come out and slug it out.
Henderson won the bout with ease
as Sibley attempted an “Arturo
Godoy” style, which is crouching
as close to the mat as possible.
This makes the fifth sport event
in which Henderson has been suc
cessful. All ’that is left now is the
pingpong championship.
Riordan of C Cavalry and Dun-
phy of Hdq. Cavalry will open the
proceedings in the 119 lb. at 7:45.
Other Class A championship fights
that follow include: 129 lb.—High
tower C F.A.) pitted against Goe
bel (C Coast); 139 lb class—Reid
(Non-Military) against Link (G
Coast); 149 lb. class—Tennison (C
F.A.) versus Drake (E Coast);
159 lb. class—Taylor (3rd Hdq.
F.A.) taking on Jacobs (E Coast);
169 lb. class—Taylor (E F.A.)
putting up gloves with Blankenship
(G Infantry); and 179 lb class—
Ramage (K Infantry) fighting it
out with Andrews (C Coast).
Remainder
Of Track Team
Leaves for Relays
The second half of the Aggie
thinly clads leave college this
morning for the fourteenth run
ning of the Annual Texas Relays
in Austin.
Both the varsity and freshmen
teams will enter with some eight
een boys making the trip.
Clyde Littlefield’s Longhorn
team will be the favorites in the
majority of the events with the
Aggies, Rice, L.S.U., Tulane and
Oklahoma A. & M. fighting for
the remainder.
Roy Bucek will be the university
class favorite in the high hurdles
with Pete Owens of Howard Payne
issuing a word of warning due to
Bucek’s sore leg.
Champions of the past will meet
in the shot put event with Jack
Wilson of Baylor, holder of last
year’s record, and Jim Thomason,
the ’39 champ, on hand for compe
tition.
Special events with old timers
of the track will add to the pro
gram which is the first named
meeting of track stars each year.
The Class B boxing finals start
off with Haines (Art. Band) trad
ing punches with Brown (B F.A.) in
the 119 lb. class. They will be
followed by Ivey (I Infantry) and
Loving (H Coast) in the 129 lb.
Class; Cokinos (A F.A.) and Con
ner (I F.A.) in the 149 lbs. class;
Geise (A Cavalry) and Maroney
(E F.A.) in the 149 lb. class;
Singleton (E Engineers) and
O’Neal (1st Hdq. F.A.) in the 159
lb. class; Beckley (I F.A.) and
Simmons (E F.A.) in the 169 lb.
class; and Eldridge (A Infantry)
and Kirkpatrick (K Infantry) in
the heavyweight class. The winner
of Menefee (E Coast) and Ormon
(F Infantry) will fight Graves
(E Coast) for the 179 lb. cham
pionship. Graves and Menefee are
roommates..
The playoffs in Class B water
polo have long been started, and
the finals will probably come up
sometime next week. D Cavalry
and 3rd Hdq. Field Artillery ad
vanced into the quarter-finals as
both eked out a victory over F
Coast and Hdq. Signal Corps, re
spectively. B Coast proved to be
more potent in their match with B
Signal Corps as they came out with
a 2 to 1 win.

and McDonald. The Zags will be
made up of McGowen, Barry, Braid
and Hart.
