mentor of the Aggie baseball
squad.
Among his past positions are
secretary of the Beaumont Ex
porters, coach at Beaumont High
School, Mayor of Georgetown,

duty as backfield coach of the

Changes Made in Coaching Staff as
Norton Adjusts for McQuillan Vacancy
Karow Will Assume
Basketball Duties and
Dimmitt Gets Baseball Job
New coaches will be in charge
of varsity baseball and basketball
at Texas A. & M. College after
Sept. 1, according to an announce
ment made here Wednesday by
Homer Norton, head coach and di
rector of athletics.
Marty Karow will move from
head baseball coach to head bas
ketball coach and Lil Dimmitt,
present trainer, will take up the
duties of head baseball coach.
Manning Smith and Charlie De-
Ware will become co-coaches of
freshman football, basketball and
baseball. At present Smith is coach
of freshman basketball, varsity
tennis and backfield demonstrator
on the varsity football team. De-
Ware has been assistant freshman
football coach for the past three
years and assistant varsity base
ball coach for two years.
Both Karow and Dimmitt have
wide experience in the sports which
they will take over next year. Ka
row won cage letters at Ohio State
and later was varsity basketball
coach at the University of Texas.
Dimmitt has over twenty years
connection with baseball and spon
sored the teams at Southwestern
University, Georgetown, in the
early twenties. He later was secre
tary of the Beaumont baseball
club and scout for the Detroit
Tigers. He also coached baseball
at Beaumont high and Lamar Jun
ior College before coming to Texas
A. & M. in 1935. He coached
freshman baseball for two years
but turned over that job to Smith
and DeWare in 1938 when his
other duties became too heavy.
When he first came to Aggie-
land it was the intention to make
him varsity baseball coach but
other duties called and he never
took over the varsity teams. He
is better known for his football
coaching but it is baseball that is
his first love of all the sports.
The shift was made necessary
by the resignation of H. R. (Hub)
McQuillan, head basketball and
freshman football coach, who re
signed to become head basketball
coach at Texas Christian Universi
ty, Fort Worth.
Karow is varsity backfield coach
and Dimmitt trainer for all sports.

AGGIES RUN IN WACO
AGAINST CONFERENCE MEN
With their last team showing
being the turning back of the Rice
thinly clads, the Aggie track team
runs this week-end in a quad
rangle meet with the Baylor Bears,
Southern Methodist Ponies and
the Texas Christian Horned Frogs.
The cadets should win the meet
with second and third places count
ing heavily. S.M.U. and Baylor
should follow in close order.
In Houston tomorrow and Satur
day the Aggies will close their sea
son’s play with the Rice Owls. The
Houston team will be out for re
venge due to the close out handed
them by Lefty Bumpers here earl
ier this month.
At the same time in Austin the
Ponies and Longhorns will tangle
again for their final of the three
game schedule.
The conference title looks free
for the taking now that the Ponies
have marked their first blur
against the Texas Longhorns since
Rice turned them back last season.

Polo Team Wins
3 of 5 Games on
Jaunt in Holidays
Meet Three Teams
On Trip Leading Thru
Louisiana and Oklahoma
By Jack Hollimon
Texas A. & M.’s fighting Aggie
polo team also became a traveling
team when they treked north to
Oklahoma and south to Louisiana
over the holidays, a distance of
some 1900 miles ,and won three out
of five contests with outstanding
polo foursomes. April 9 found them
matching sticks with the Oklahoma
Military Academy where the Ag
gies triumphed by a score of 5
to 4. Leaving Claremore for a
game in Norman the next day, the
A. & M. men waded through the
O.U. Sooners by another close 5
to 4 count. Back to Claremore and
O.M.A. opposing them, the Aggie
quartet surged to a lop-sided vic
tory 13 to 3 Saturday morning,
the cadets with three wins under
their belts clashed with Oklahoma
University again and they lost a
hotly contested tilt in the last
few minutes 8 goals to 7. Their
final game was played in the
Bayou state and despite a long
trip and much competition, the
Shreveport Polo Club stopped A.
& M. 9 to 5.
Scoring for A. & M. in the first
game with O.M.A. were Maloney
with two, Braid two, and McGow
an one. The second game played
with O.U. saw Maloney and Braid
put another two apiece across and
McDonald made the other mark
er. Again against O.M.A. in Clare
more Friday, the Aggies, led by
Bill Braid with 5 goals and Carl
Maloney with 3 goals, smashed
to that 13 to 3 win. McDonald scor
ed twice and McGowan, Raley, and
Hart hit pay dirt one goal each.
Maloney stuck to his offensive
post in the final O. U. game Sat
urday morning with four goals to
his credit. His total would have
been 5 but for the mistake of a
misinstructed goal flagger. Braid,
Hart, and McDonald took one each
for the Aggies, but O. U. slip
ped past for a close victory in the
last minutes of the game. The
Aggies’ game with Shreveport
was played without handicap and
A. & M. made an excellent showing
against this top-flight civilian
team.
This set of games played away
from the home field marked the
big trip of 1941 for the polo team

Season’s Play in Several Sports on
Last Legs as Spring Holidays Roll Past
By Bob Myers
With the spring holidays be

sports are on the last leg of their
appearance in this year’s activi
ties. In the class A division speed-
ball, volleyball, and horseshoes

but the E Company boys put on
the steam in the sixth and seventh
to bring in the winning runs.
Ambitious youngsters can break

Tentative date for the meet is
May 4th.
3rd Coi’ps Headquarters blanked
B Coast Artillery in their soft-
ball game before the holidays.
The 5-0 score came about after a
heated pitching duel between
Blackaller, 3CHQ, and Newman,
B CAC. Both pitchers claimed a
few three-up and three-down in
nings but the “third column” broke
through in the third and came
in with three runs. Two more in
the fourth and fifth put the game
on ice.

Hits Snag at
Randolph Field
Flyers Walk Off with
Both Games in Weekend’s
Two-Game Series 6-2, 7-1
Coach Marty Karow’s Texas Ag
gie nine enjoyed their stay in San
Antonio this past weekend, but
it was only in the way of social
affairs as the cadets went down
before the onslaught of the Ran
dolph Field Flyers in a two game
series.
Lefty Bumpers started on the
hill for the cadets in the first
game but was treated roughly by
the homelings. Randolph Field,
aided by some hefty pitching by
A1 Crostwaite, pounded Bumpers
into oblivion and grabbed a 6 to
2 victory. They accounted for 10
hits, and a 4-run rally in the
seventh was enough to put the
game on ice.
The second tilt proved to be the
same old story. Randolph Field,
aided by some Aggie errors and
wildness on the part of the cadet
hurlers, slapped out a 7 to 1 vic
tory. John Seoggin, regular Ag
gie outfielder, started on the
mound in an experiment by Coach
Karow, and but for some wildness
pitched creditable ball. He walk
ed five and struck out two men.
Bill Henderson followed and held
the Flyers in check the rest of the
way.
Bright ray in the Aggie down
falls was Jack Lindsey, hustling

Teamplay was stressed and it in
duced much improvement in the
club. There were no particular
stars, but a gallant and hustling
showing was made by all. These
included Norris McGowan at num
ber one, Carl Maloney at number
two, Bill Braid in number three
spot, and Walt Hart and Sid Mc
Donald in number four position.
Clyde Raley, team business man
ager and substitute, went along for
forward position relief. Also ac
companying the team was Lieut.
W. G. North, Cavalry, assistant
coach, who was in charge. Their
coach, Major E. F. Stevens, was
unable to make the entire trip but
he met them in Louisiana.

Tomorrow’s Game
Indicates Cadets’
Chances for Flag
After being greeted with an un
eventful weekend in San Antonio,
the Texas Aggie nine take their
belongings to Houston with re
newed hope to battle the featherd
flock of Rice Institute tomorrow
and Saturday in a two game series.
Title aspirations became evident
in the cadets’ camp when the S. M.
U. Mustangs throttled the hereto
fore undefeated Texas Longhorns
in a major upset two weeks ago.
The Ponies’ victory made the con
ference a scrambled affair, with
the Steers, Aggies, and S. M. U.
all fighting it out for the top pos
ition. Texas is leading the pack
with four victories and one defeat.
S. M. U. is next with five wins
and two setbacks, while the Aggies
totter in third place with' a two and
one record.
Both Aggie victories have been
due to the splendid twirling of
Lefty Bumpers, who has pitched
a couple of two-hitters. He has also
accounted for 23 consecutive score
less frames in conference play. He
