-With Hub Johnson.
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.

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.

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-

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

team faces next year.

Intramural Trackmen Begin Working
Out for Sunday Meet at Kyle Field
Holder of Six
World Records Will
Teach Riflemanship
Thurman Randall,’ director of
the National Rifle Association and
holder of six world records in
rifle marksmanship, will make his
initial appearance on the campus
today to hold classes in rifle in-
structorship.
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

The following
paragraph is an
excerpt from the
intramural hand
book:
“The Intra

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

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

annual running of the “Little Con

school.
This meet serves as the preview
to the conference meet which fol

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.

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

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.

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

Pugh lb Sorrells 3b
