-With Hub Johnson.
Pete Watkins surprised the Bay
lor fans Saturday by topping their
one star of the field event, Dub
Walters, one inch to claim the first
spot in the high jump event.
It- was only revenge as Walters
won the event at the Texas Re
lays. Coach Rollins stated, “Sat
urday’s performance showed that
he can go much further than he
has yet.”
The Drake Relays will prove
a testing ground for the confer
ence meeting.
Wednesday of last week, our
rich uncle marked Jack Wilson of
the Baylor track, basketball and
football team “E-l„ and Prank
Kimbrough breathed a sigh of re
lief.
He has now found his striking
point and has drawn from the con
ference for the first time. Glen
Rose, cage mentor of the Arkansas
Razorbacks, has answered the call
to the Army.
In three years under Rose, the
Hogs have won the league title
three times and tied for a fourth.
A&M And Baylor
To Meet For Third •
Game of the Season
Game Will Be
Played in Waco
Thursday Afternoon
Thursday for the third time this
season, the Texas Aggies and the
Baylor Bears meet on the baseball
diamond in a Southwestern Confer
ence game.
The two other games were play
ed at College Station in a two
game series that ended in a draw.
In the first of the series, the ca
dets rode to a 10 to 0 victory be
hind the pitching arm of Lefty
Bumpers. The following day found
an over-confident Aggie nine given
much the same treatment that
they themselves dealt out in the
nrevious encounter. It was only af
ter four nitchers had taken to the
mound that the cadets came out
on the short end of a 7-5 score.
Waco will be the scene of this
meeting and should show whther
A. & M. or Baylor has the better
ball club. Both teams have gained
much experience since their last
meetings and are in top-notch shape
to play the game that will end
this season’s play between the two
teams.
At the last two meetings, two
southpaws on the mound caused
all of the trouble. For the Bears,
Frank (Lefty) Golden was the
boy who was stingy with his runs
and it was Lefty Bumpers who
closed the Bear batsmen out for
a no run game. Roy Peden, Aggies,
is another pitcher who makes it
hard for the opposition to get
on first base. Although he is a
fast ball artist, he occasionally
puts a slow one across to make
them feel foolish for swinging.
Yesterday there left Aggieland
for a service as an officer in the
Army for a year or for duration
one “ex” who has followed the
Aggies from the top to the bot
tom and back to the top again. At
the start of the ’39 grid season he
didn’t place the cadets above third
place. Still with him goes all our
wishes for good luck.
He knows Aggies for he is one,
and this summer the Twilight
Softball League will miss one-
Satch Elkins.

Nine Intercollegiate
Matches, Four Sports
Nine intercollegiate matches in
four sports are on the schedule
for Texas Christian University
teams in the last nine days of Ap
ril.
Yesterday, Coach Walter Roach
moved into Austin with the Frog
baseballers, for a single game. Fri
day, the Frogs play S. M. U. in
Fort Worth, and on April 30 meet
Texas A. & M. in College Station.
The low scoring T. C. U. golf
foursome will play three matches
in the nine days. They will meet
Rice here April 22, Baylor in Waco
April 26, and Denton Teachers here
April 29.
Based on the showing to date,
fans in this sector are figuring
that the Frog niblick wielders have
a good chance to bag the confer
ence championship in Austin May
8 and 9.
Coach Mack Clark’s track men
will engage in a dual meet with
the Denton Teachers here April
23, and a triangle meet here April
26 with S. M. U. and Baylor.
The Frog tennis team, under
Coach Tom Prouse, will journey to

table for H Field Artillery to give
them a 5-0 win over E Engineers.
Another 5-0 match between C
Field Artillery and G Infantry was
chalked up in favor of Artillery
men Hull, Harrison, Pennington,
Buttrill and Pierce.
The element of time cost A Cav
alry a softball game when they
played 2nd Corps Headquarters.
According to departmental rules,
playing stops at 5:40 and the score
reverts to the previous inning. A
Troop was leading 9-8 in their
half of the seventh when the time
elapsed and the score went back
to the sixth, 8-7, in favor of 2 CHQ.
F Coast Artillery took their game
7-3 from A Infantry after com
ing from behind to start scoring
in the third. A Company dropped
out of the scoring picture in the
fourth and failed to bring a man
home after that.
F Infantry brought enough men
across the home plate in the first
inning to cinch their game with C
Chemical Warfare. The six run
lead and another in the third prov
ed too much for the “test-tubers”
to overcome in spite of their rally
in the fifth and seventh. Final
score was 7-4.
Headquarters Cavalry held a one
run lead over B Infantry up until
the fifth inning, at which time the
B Company boys wound things up
with a four run rally to put the
game on ice, 9-6.
