nine will be hosts to the powerful
Houston Buffs of the Texas Lea
gue here this afternoon in an ex
hibition game. 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.

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.

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.
