Running neck and neck with Owens of Howard Payne and Wright of Ohio State, Roy Bucek on the eighth hurdle hit the cin ders and lost out in the final running of the 120-yard hurdles at the Drake Relays. Bucek car ries a lot of speed and drive in the last few yards and according to Coach Dough Rollins had the race pretty well in hand Satur day before he fell. Rain again stopped the Aggie ball club from taking their crack at the Texas Longhorns. The con ference is going to see a lot of double headers around the close of the season if this weather keeps up. Another solution to the problem of back games might be as the Daily Texan carries it. Sunday’s University paper car ried a six column banner stat ing, “Texas-Aggie Game Reset for May 10” Funny thing, on the tenth Marty’s gang face the S. M. U. Mustangs in Dallas. I guess it will be the second string the “Forty Acre” boys want over that day. The official date of the reset game, as stated in the body of the story of that same paper, is May 12. v / Just Arrived! *RUGGERS SHIRTS New colors, new fabrics in leisure shirts trimly tailored by *B.V.D.

Aggie Track Stars Place in Drake Relay Events Sophomores Ricks And Watkins Keep A&M In Win Column at Meet Albert Ricks and Pete Watkins, the two topmost sophomore stars of the Aggie track team placed in the Drake Relays last Saturday, each winning a niche in an indi vidual event to keep Texas A. & M.’s name in the win column. Trying to crack the oldest rec ord on the Drake relay books— the six feet six inch mark set way back in 1922 by Harold Os borne, ace high jumper from Illi nois, Watkins and Ricks, along with Dub Walters of Baylor, were among the eight men tying for third place. The best height made in this event was six feet four inches by Boydston of Oklahoma A. & M. and O’Rouke of Notre Dame. Vieing for honors in this sprint meet, runners from Texas and from the Midwest split the awards as the relays came to a close Sat urday. In the 120 yard high hurdles, Roy Bucek was one of the three leaders but fell at the eighth hurdle, leaving A. & M. entirely out of the event. Relay Team Fourth Spikemen from Texas were par ticularly outstanding with Carle- ton Terry of the University tak ing first honors in the 100-yard While the center of attraction in the track and field play was cen tered at the Drake Relays, out on the West Coast this weekend a new world’s high jump record was set at six feet 10 and 25-32 inches. Les Steers of the University of Oregon is the record man, jump ing a height which is some five inches over Dog Dawson’s head. The highest recognized record is shared by Cornelius Johnson of Compton Junior College and Dave Albritton of Ohio State, set at the 1936 Olympic trials, at 6 feet 9 and 3-4 inches. Steers’ jump was against the University of Washington, the Pa cific Coast team the Aggie grid team faces next year. 150 to 5 P.

He will conduct his classes through May 1. Any Aggie interested in receiv ing this expert instruction should contact J. W. Potts of the exten sion service as soon as possible. A fee of 75 cents will be charged each individual in order to cover ammunition and target expenses. Lee Braun of Austin and Willett Kuhn of Bridgeport, Connecticut and both expert marksmen, will assist Randall in his classes. These classes are designed to instruct cadets in the art of rifle instructorship. They will be held twice a day—one from 8 to 10 o’clock in the morning, and the other from 3 to 5 in the afternoon. Randall will use the rifle range for his classes. Golf Team Back After Successful North Texas Tour Coach Frank Anderson and his Aggie golf team arrived back on the campus this week-end after a successful invasion of Dallas and Fort Worth. They whitewashed S.M.U. 6 to 0, Thursday afternoon, and gained a hard-earned tie with Texas Wesleyan Rams the follow ing day. Bob Warne and Johnny Rob erts grabbed the spotlight from their teammates, Henry Hauser and Henry Richards, as they frus trated a Ram rally for a victory by taking one double match and both their single matches. Warne and Roberts teamed up to take Ivan Smith and Slim Lewis into camp by 1 up, while Norman Row land and Earl Morris of the Rams drubbed Hauser and Richards in the other double match by a sim ilar account. In the single matches, Rowland and Smith again administered a glaring setback on Hauser and Richards. Rowland was 1 up on Hauser at the eighteenth hole, while Smith was 3 up on Richards with two holes to go. However, Warne and Roberts again challeng ed the Ram superiority by defeat ing Smith and Lewis, respective ly, in the other matches. Roberts had to go twenty holes before he finally outlasted Lewis, but Warne was 2 up on Smith at the final hole. T. C. U., one of the leading golf teams in the conference, will make an appearance here Friday in a match with the Aggies. dash. In the University half mile relay, Rice came out on top while Texas A. & M. breezed in for a fourth place. In this event it was a surprising note that Texas did not place, having a 1:26.7 heat in the preliminaries Friday. In the 440 sprint relay, Derace Moser pulled muscles on both his legs and most likely will not run any more this year. The loss of Moser will be a definite handicap to the team as he was an import ant anchor man. Making the trip to Des Moines, Iowa, for the relays were Roy Bucek, Jimmy Knight, Pete Wat kins, Albert Ricks, Earl “Bama” Smith, Derace Mogter, Marshall Spivey, Carleton Brush, and Ralph Henderson. The nine Aggie track men were accompanied by track coach Dough Rollins and head coach Homer Norton. Leaving here last Tuesday, the team worked out Wednesday in Pittsburgh, Kansas, at Southwest ern Kansas Teachers College. Thursday and Friday they were in Des Moines and came back to Kansas City, Mo., Saturday night after the relays. The team ar rived in College Station yester day morning. Dr. Egbert S. Wengert of the University of Wisconsin has been appointed to fill the Carter Glass chair of government at Sweet Briar college. Dial 4-1182 for QUICK DELIVERY BLACK’S PHARMACY East Gate By Bob Myers It’s time for the track men to begin working out in earnest with Sunday afternoon at 1:30 set def initely as the time for the meet. The following paragraph is an excerpt from the intramural hand book: “The Intra mural track meet is so organized as to permit a man to enter both field and track events but he will not be permitted to enter track events or a total of three events during the meet. The field events continue throughout the meet and a man may take his three trials at any time during the meet. However, in the high jump, the contestants will be required to keep up with the progress of the event. A con testant must be present at the preliminaries in order to be eligi ble to compete in the finals.” In order for an organization to receive entry points for the meet, men must be entered in at least four of the following seven events. The events are: 100-yard dash, 110-yard low hurdles, shot put, javelin throw, broad jump, high jump, and 440-yard shuttle relay.

F Coast Artillery horseshoers gathered in a/ 2-1 win from the 4th Corps Headquarters pitchers. Little, Angell, Schmalz, and Miley did tossing honors for F Battery and Ganz and Rainey took the one count for 4 CHQ. Loving, Ward, Adkisson, and Roberts were the Artillery Bands men who beat the little white ball back across the net fast enough to win a 4-1 ping pong match from D Infantry. Lone victor for D Company was Seay. A closer ping pong match came about between C Cavalry and A Signal Corps. The Cavalry slid by on a one point margin to take the event 3-2. Clayton, Aaron, and Caldwell were C Troop win ners while Williams and Darnell cashed in for the underdogs. Class B tennis has been prog ressing rather slowly but is near ing the playoffs. D Field Artil lery “Fish” advanced a notch by beating F Engineers 3-0. Racquet swingers Spacek, Watts, Jackson, McCutchen, Callins, and Scofield brought home the bacon. Another Class B team doing well is the horseshoe sextet from E Field Artillery. Their 3-0 win over I Field Artillery placed them in the semi-finals. Only swimming meet held Fri day saw B Chemical Warfare push H Field Artillery under water about 13 points worth to take the event 24-11. Another word to the breast- strokers is in order at this point. Almost all of the contestants are being disqualified on the kick. A little practice before^ the meet will pay off well. Little Conference Track Meet Sees A&M, Rice, Texas Strengthened by Drake Relay enti’ants, track and field teams from Rice, Texas and A. & M. meet here this weekend for the annual running of the “Little Con ference” track meet. Texas will be the heavy favor ite of the three-way meet, hav ing already topped the Aggies and having times in track events bet ter than those of the Houston school. This meet serves as the preview to the conference meet which fol lows a week later each year, nam ing the winners and league cham pion. Moser Out With concentration on the tri angular meet, Coach Dough Rol lins was out yesterday to find a fourth man for the two relays teams. If old man injury comes in the form of lightning, for the first time it struck twice in the same place as Derace Moser pull ed a muscle once more. This time it puts the junior track and grid star on the shelf for the remainder of the season. Moser pulled a leg muscle earli er in the season but returned to the track after a week of rest. Hall vs. Barfield The feature race of the day will be between Harold Hall of Rice and Red Barfield of Texas in the 440-yard run. Both have been running under the conference mark for 48 seconds. In the 100-yard dash Carlton Terry, Texas star and outstanding sportsman of last week’s Drake Relays; Fred Ramsdell, also of Texas and winner of last year’s run; Bama Smith of the Aggies; and Joe Blagg of Rice, all will be "pitted against each other. All of them rank with the fatsest track men in the country. Myers more than two Aggie Nine to Meet TCU On Kyle Field Tomorrow Cadets Have Had A Ten Day Lapse in Practice Due to Rain Unless rain intervenes tomorrow afternoon, the Texas Aggie nine will go back to work after a lapse of 10 days from the diamond when they take on the cellar-dwelling T.C.U. Frogs on Kyle Field. The diamonders have had only few workouts due to the wet grounds, but are due to have one before the Frog tilt. The Frogs have only one vic tory to their credit, and that one was over Rice. However, their performance has not been dismal this year in the fact that they gave S.M.U. and Texas Univer sity hard fought battles before succumbing. In the Texas game, they shelled Melvin Deutsch off the mound, only to lose the fracas as the Longhorns rallied five times in the eighth frame. Their ace hurler throughout the campaign has been A. J. Brumbaugh, who has been wrought with hard luck even though pitching credible ball. Bumpers-Deutsch Pitching Duel Is Postponed by Rain The expected Bumpers-Deutch pitching duel was just a myth as far as baseball hungry fans were concerned. The weatherman inter vened at the last moment and sent a deluge of rain to cause the post ponement of the Texas-A&M bat tle. A crowd of some 3000 fans was expected to fill Clark Field Sat urday afternoon to witness the fray. It was agreed by the officials of both schools to have the game re set to Monday, May 12. This will make the third time this game has been set ahead due to heavy rain. It was originally scheduled to be played Friday, April 25, but due to unforeseen circumstances had to be called off. Texas English Profs To Hold 1942 Meeting At College Station At its annual meeting at Baylor University on April 26, the Texas Conference of College Teachers of English accepted the invitation to hold its 1942 meeting here at A. & M. The probable date is April 25, the probable hours 9 a. m. to 4:30 p. m. The organization has a member ship of about 140 teachers of Eng lish in Texas colleges and is for the purpose of improving the teaching of English (including American literature) and the ad vancement of research in litera ture and language. At each meet ing there are papers dealing with curriculum and problems and sev eral brief research papers. A vis iting lecturer is engaged for each meeting. The officers for 1941-42 are Dr. Alan D. McKillop of Rice Insti tute, President; Dr. L. N. Wright of Southwest Texas State Teachers College, Secretary-Treasurer. Dr. Stewart S. Morgan of Texas A. & M. is a member of the Council. .He will probably be T.C.U.’s choice to face the in-and-out-cadets in the hope of salvaging a victory. Lefty Bumpers and Red Carden will form the battery against the Toads tomorrow. Roy Peden, who has been doing a great portion of the backstopping, will concentrate most of his efforts on his pitching arm, as Coach Karow is in dire need of hurlers. Peden is the No. 1 Aggie relief twirler, and is slated to handle nine inning chores as well. The Aggie baseball machine is just about getting rusty from the 10 day lay-off. Rain and wet grounds have played havoc with the team which has not been able to get its needed practice. True, they have had enough rest during that period, but a number of sore arms will probably be bobbing up in the next few days from the cadet camp. The probable starting lineup is as follows: Aggies Baylor Ballow ss Cowart ss Lindsey 2b R. Tankersley .... c Francis cf Allen lb Pugh lb Sorrells 3b Scoggins If D. Tankersley .. cf Jeffrey rf Bierman rf Buchanan 3b R. Brumbaugh .. If Carden c Conway 2b Bumpers p A. J. Brumbaugh.p ! NEW j Columbia and Okeh i I i i ! j \ \ I \ ! \ i !
