The starting time is 3:30. Manager Eddie Dyer’s potent aggregation dumped the cadets -fhere last year in a close game, 3 to 1. They have had nine exhibition games this year, winning more than half of them, including a victory over the New York Yanks. The cadet’s main trouble all year has been their hitting in consistency, but this past weekend they showed an ability to wield a heavy bat by clubbing eleven lusty baseknocks against Rice, and then continuing their barrage a- gainst Baytown the following day The Representative of Joske's Military Department will be in Room 201, Aggieland Inn this week to take orders for uniforms.

J By Mike Haikin It’s all over but the shouting at Aggieland with all champions being crowned Saturday night in one of the best array of matches that has been presented here in many a moon. E Coast grabbed the organization honors in both Class A and Class B matches. The Coast Fish garnered a total of 9 points to win the crown, while the upperclassmen had 19 points in their possession. Of the 9 points grabbed by the Fish, 8 of them come in the finals when Menefee and Graves, roommates in E Coast, fought it out for the 179 lb. classs. Menefee was the winner on points. 3rd Hdq. Field Artillery, C Field Artillery, E Field Artillery and G Coast followed in that order in class A boxing, while A Cavalry, E Field Artillery and I Field Ar tillery were all tied for runnerup positions in the Class B matches. B Engineers came in fifth. Here are the champions of each class. Class A 119 lb., Riordan, C Cav; 129 lb., Hightower, C F.A.; 139 lb., Link, G Coast; 149 lb., Drake, E Coast; 159 lb., Jacobs, E Coast; 169 lb., Taylor, E F.A.; 179 lb., Ramage, K In.; Heavyweight, Henderson, 3rd Hq. F.A. Class B 119 lb., Brown, B F.A.; 129 lb., Ivey, I Inf.; 139 lb., Cokinos, A F.A.; 149 lb., Geise, A Cav.; 159 lb., Singleton, B Eng.; 169 lb., Sim- with sixteen baseknocks. Marlin Jeffrey, hustling gardener, has been the leading hitter in the past two days, connecting for seven hits out of nine trips at the plate. Jack Lindsey also has improved his batting eye by blasting five bingles out of ten times at the dish. Coach Marty Karow has not in dicated who will start on the mound for the Aggies, but it’s a safe bet that Lefty Bumpers will open. The cadet southpaw has hurled 23 consecutive inrtings with out allowing a run. He shutout the Baylor Bears with two hits in his first time out, and then dupli cated the feat by holding the Rice Owls to only two bingles. Following the Houston fray, the Karowmen head out for the Alamo City for a two game series with the Randolph Field Flyers. Their next conference engagement comes April 18 and 19 in Houston against the Rice Owls. FLASH!! Seniors - Juniors - Sophomores Now is the time to make arrangements for your next year’s Uniform.

At this time, this column takes time out to give our most pro found compliments to Jimmy Davis, who handled the boxing bouts Thursday and Saturday with the eye of an expert. Yes, he’s the same Jimmy Davis who copped the 149 wrestling and boxing crowns here last year. He is also the intra mural manager of his organization, 1st Corps Hdq. A bowl of orchids to Jimmy. Class A pingpong and swimming matches have already been schedul ed and are destined to go full steam after the R.V. holidays. This is the opening year for pingpong, which was just an experimental sport last year. No champions were crowned, but medals were award ed. Due to its popularity it was annexed to the intramural pro gram, and proved to be a big hit with the freshmen earlier in the year. Swimming has been on the program a long time, but it has been slightly altered this year. In stead of the regular swimming meet as has been the case before, competition between organizations will be held. This stimulated much more interest among the fish, and promises to do likewise to the upperclassmen. Intramural activities were just about nil as the baseball tilt took the spotlight here Friday. Only two games of Class B handball were played, with the Infantry Band and F Field Artillery grab bing a 3 to 0 win over H and M Infantry, respectively. Kimbrough Stresses Passing as Baylor Opens Practice Frank Kimbrough may be new to the Southwest Conference coach ing family, but he’s wasting little time setting up a wide open of fensive attack at Baylor. A newly launched drive for more passing power has been his chief aim since he opened the Baylor spring football practice recent ly and right now it looks as if it might pay off in big dividends comes next September when the Bears open their 1941 football campaign. Most of the practice drills have been spent in tossing the ball around and Jack Wilson, Kit Wit- trell, Bill Coleman, Dwight Parks and Bill Dowdell have been work ing overtime in this phase of the game. All of the leather-slingers have looked good in the prelimi nary workouts but especially pleas ing has been the work of Kittrell, McGreggor freshman, who has been hitting pass receivers all week. Wilson and Parks have been com ing through with connections on the firing line and Wilson seems like his old self again carrying the ball around the ends and through the middle. Light scrimmage drills were held for the first time yester day and Wilson and Parks got away for big yardage time and time again. Linesmen have been spending their time working on blocking as signments for pass protection and running plays and Botchey Koch, Baylor’s new line mentor, has just started in mapping the Bruin de fensive maneuvers for the line candidates. The Bears have laid off of hard work during the first week of their 30-day training session but the Baylor coach said recently that the Baptist gridders would be ready for heavy scrimmage work soon. Aggies Pound Baytown Oilers For 11-4 Win Sat Jeffrey, Scoggins Lead Attack; Peden And Henderson on Mound Continuing their heavy hitting, the Texas Aggies pounded out an 11 to 4 victory over the Baytown Oilers at Baytown Saturday after noon. They collected sixteen hits at the expense of two Oiler hurl- ers, with Marlin Jeffrey and John Scoggins leading the attack. Bill Henderson, the Aggie four- sport man, started for the cadets, and after a shaky first inning in which the semi-pro team counted three times, held the Oilers in check. He was followed by Roy Peden in the fifth who allowed but one hit the rest of, the way. After being held to a 4 to 4 tie for four frames, the Aggies final ly broke loose in the fifth, sixth and seventh stanzas to account for seven runs. Jeffrey’s hard palop- ing was a leading factor in the at tack. He accounted for three sin gles and a lusty triple to lead the Aggies to a victory. “The Boys Looked Pretty Good”—Dutch Meyer “The boys looked pretty good.” That’s as far as Coach Dutch Meyer will go in summing up T.
