Baseball Games Scheduled Today and Friday-Maybe!!
ON
KYLE
FIELD
-With Hub Johnson.
About the best thing to do is to
look out all the windows. If the
sky is clear, it’ll rain and no games
will be played. If you get a sun
burn in two seconds, the Aggies
might play the T.C.U. Horned
Frogs this afternoon on Kyle
Field.
Five straight games have been
rained out, the first with the
Baylor Bears in Waco, the second
with the Longhorns at Austin and
the third and fourth reset games
with the University. Yesterday’s
game came near being played but
mother earth was still a little too
damp.
Look for the Texas Longhorns
to run off with the “Little Con
ference” meet tomorrow with the
Aggies and the Owls fighting for
the runner-up position.
Star for the “Forty Acre” team
will be Carlton Terry who won
first place in the Drake Relay
100-yd dash and who closed a big
gap in his team’s relay run. Fred
Ramsdell, last year’s winner of

Handball Singles
Champion Will be
Crowned Monday
The first handball tournament
in which a singles champion is
crowned will become a realty Mon
day afternoon on the handball
courts.
Mike Cokinos and Ransom Ken
ny, the sponsors of the tourna
ment, expressed their desire that
the students would take an ardent
interest in this project. It is open
to everyone in the corps, and the
fee for entering is only ten cents.
Some twenty candidates have al
ready signed up, with more ex
pected to adhere before the dead
line Saturday.
Intramural rules will be follow
ed, and all games will be played on
the double courts. It will be an
elimination tournament with the
winner and runner-up receiving a
prize. Anyone desiring to partici
pate in this playoff should notify
either Cokinos in 225, Dorm. No.
4, or Kenny in A-8 Hart Hall.
This tournament will mark the
second time a sport has been spon
sored by students. The first o^ its
kind occurred last semester when
Jake Wilk procured a football game
between students picked from the
corps. The project was extremely
popular and is slated to be an an
nual affair.
the race, will push the Texas star
close.
Big Jack Hughes, who has brok
en some sort of a record with
every throw, will be the field’s
favorite in the discus event.
Colonel Andy’s cadet golfers
wind up their exhibition play to
morrow with the T.C.U. Frogs.
They reign as one of the few teams
who have defeated the Aggies this
year, winning out in the Fort
Worth Fat Stock Show Exposition
meet.
Next week the Aggies travel to
Austin for the conference tourna
ment and will have as their main
task the defeating of the Frogs
and the University Longhorns.

health center, the student register

2-Game Meet
Game to be Played
This Afternoon
If Weather Permits
Adverse weather again played
havoc with the Texas Aggie nine
as the scheduled game between
the cadets and the T.C.U. Horned
Frogs was washed out yesterday
afternoon. If weather conditions
improve the game will be reeled
off at 3:30 this afternoon.
This marks the fifth consecu
tive game that the Aggies have
forfeited to the weatherman. The
Aggie hurlers will have a job on
their hands as they have three
tilts coming in as many days. Fol
lowing this fray they take on
S.M.U. in a two-game series to
morrow and Saturday.
With the game reset a day,
Coach Marty Karow will probab
ly save Lefty Bumpers and Roy
Peden for the Mustang series and
counter with lanky Bill Hender
son. The Houston athlete has look
ed surprisingly good in his last
workout and is due to be in top
shape for the Frog fracas.
The T.C.U. Frogs, who have on
ly one victory to their credit, will
send A. J. Brumbaugh to the hill
ock in an attempt to knock the
cadets out of the conference race.
Like in basketball, luck has been
against the valiant Toads.
They put up a slam-bank bat
tle against the Texas Longhorns
some three weeks ago, and were
leading 5 to 4 in the eighth frame.
Mel Deutsch, the Longhorn ace
pitcher, had been given a thor
ough workover, and a Frog victory
seemed in the making. However,
lightning struck in that fatal
eighth canto, and the Steers ral
lied for five runs and a 9 to 5
win. Such has been the luck of
the Frogs all along.
Brumbaugh, their ace hurler,
has been in nearly every game
that T.C.U. has played. His pitch
ing has been well above par, but
his support and nil, especially in
close games.
Last year, the Frogs slammed
a monkey wrench in the Aggie
championship aspirations, and it
was one of the causes in the ca
det collapse.
To retain their chance for the
conference championship, Coach
Marty Karow’s nine will have to
win the T.C.U. game. A loss will
be a hard blow to the cadets’
chance for the flag, and will give
Texas a shortcut to the title. How
ever, a victory will strengthen the
Aggies and will ^ive them a
chance to put all their might
against the Texas juggernaut.

B FA Fish Follow in Upperclassmen’s
Footsteps in Annexing Handball Title
By Bob Myers
Another sport hit the shelf until
next year when B Field Artillery
“Fish” followed the example of
their upperclassmen and annexed
the handball championship. Com
petition for the final game was
Provided by E.

I ners a tough fight.
Three matches
pi were required to
bring the contest
to a close at a
count of 2-1. Out
standing players of
the games were:
Webb, McIntyre,
Marsh, LeBlanc,
and King of B
Field, and Simmons and Schaper
of E Battery.
Myera
Ping pong hit a slump- last Fri
day when so many teams failed to
show up that no games could be
played. Up until that time partici
pation in the sport had been un
usually good. The Infantry forfeits
can be understood but the others
remain clothed in mystery.

Little Conference Meet Will
Uncover Track and Field Stars
Once again the “Little Confer
ence” track meet, a triangular
meet between Texas, Rice and A.
& M., will single out in the South
west Conference stars of the track
and field events.
Tomorrow afternoon on Kyle
Field the three teams will meet to
give track followers aj week
early preview of the conference
meet to be held in Austin next
Saturday. Each will boast of
teams strengthened by their Drake
Relay entrants and each will un
derwrite teams eligible to prove
themselves tops in this section of
the country.
Texas Won ’40 Meet
Texas University proved the
power of the cinder track last
year and then returned to cop the
league title. But it was Rice’s
Fred Wolcott who last year and
the year before led the individual
scorers with this running of both
hurdles and the 100-yard dash.
The century dash this year will
be all but ceded to Carlton Terry
of Texas, the Steer sprinter who
ran the event in 9.7 seconds last
week at Des Moines, Iowa.
Roy Bucek will make his bid
for the league high and low stick
titles with Pete Watkins a prob
able favorite in the low hurdles.
Rice Field Slacks ‘
With their usual amount of
speed on the track, the Rice Owls
have failed so far this year to
show their strength in the field
events. Deal in the shot put and
discus events and Christopher in
the broad jump will be the main
stays of the Owl attack.
Pete Watkins and Albert Ricks,
Aggie sophomores, will probably
fight for the number one place
in the high jump with Coffman of
Rice a favorite for the finals.
Bill Henderson to Enter
Bill Henderson who is destined
to become the Aggies’ first four-
sport letterman will enter the high
jump, discus, shot put and javelin
events and will go far in each.
He is rated as one of the best
high jumpers of this section.
Against Rice he won the javelin
throw with a distance of 170 feet.
Aggie Team
Favored to outclass the Rice
Owls and push the Longhorns
close, the Aggies will have Smith
in the 100 and 220-yd. dashes,
Mayer and Steward in the mile
run, Ralph Henderson and Stew
ard in the 880-yd. run, Brush in
the 440-yd. dash, Laney and El
more in the two mile run, Shal-
nik in the javelin throw, Thoma
son in the shot put, and Felix Bu
cek and Pete Henry in the discus.
Prof. Douglas McClay of Georgia
Tech, with a Ph.D. of the Harvard
variety, is positive that it’s easier
for a boxer to become a scholar.
McClary suffered a technical
knockout in his first public fight,
in the weltherweight division of a
Golden Gloves tournament. He is
a professor in mathematics at
Georgia Tech.
the end of the game saw a sur
prised C Battery playing the role
of the good loser.
Only three Class B horseshoe
matches remain to be played to
decide the championship. G Coast
Artillery has reached the finals and
the Infantry Band and E Field
Artillery meet today to see who
plays them for the crown.
All contestants for the track
meet Sunday are requested to re
port to the,stadium at 1:15 to sign
up for their events. The Upperclass
track and Freshman Field events
will stax’t at 1:30 and last until
3:30. From 3:30 until 5:30 the
procedure will be reversed and the
program will consist of Freshman
track and Upperclass field events.
Coming to the top Class A sports
are Horseshoes and Volleyball. On
ly seven games of the finals re
main to be played and should see
these sports wound up before
Mother’s Day.
Ball playing verging on the pro
fessional took place when A Engi
neers won a game from C Infantry
7-0. For four innings the Infantry’s
batting record was three up and
three down. In the other innings,
the greatest number of men to
come to bat in a single inning was
limited to five. If Larson keeps up
this brand of pitching we may see
A Company on top of the heap
come season’s end.
D Engineers advanced to the
quarter-final stage in volleyball by
their win over G Coast Artillery.
The Engineers overpowered the
Artillerymen for two straight 15-
9 matches to close the game 2-0.
Four of the foui'teen softball
teams that turned out for Tues
day’s game, regardless of the rain,
had a swell time with plenty of
mud but not much ball game. They
must have been playing with a
mud ball because even the score
cards were muddy.
L Infantry mudders came
through with a decisive 28-9 win
over D Field Artillery and C Coast
Artillery slid through four in
nings to down 1st headquarters
Field Artillery 11-4.
At Brown university there’s a
student named Foist. Intrigued,
developed he was the son of imi-
grant parents who had Angliciz
ed their name, presumably in Ny-
awk, Nywak.

Inclement Weather Wins
As TCU Game Wetted Out
Opening Game of
Series Begins at
3:30 P.M. Tomorrow
Pending the cooperation of the
weatherman, the S. M. U. Mus
tangs will make their initial ap
pearance with the Texas Aggie
nine. Game time is 3:30.
The Mustangs have been an in-
and-out team all season. They
downed the cellar-dwelling T. C.
U. Frogs twice, beat the pesky
Rice Owls in a single game, and ad
ministered the only setback suffer
ed by the Texas Longhorns. On
their “off days” they were plaster
ed in a two game series by the
Baylor Bears, and hit in the bud
twice by the revenging Steers.
They are now perched in fourth
place just below the Aggies.
Atchison Probable Pitcher
Coach Roswell Higgenbotham is
determined more than ever to blast
the cadets into submission. His
team still retains a mathematical
chance for the flag, and a defeat
of the Aggies would place the
Ponies that much closer to the
league-leading Steers. It would top
ple the cadets from third place, and
put the Mustangs in their stead.
-To accomplish this feat, Coach
Higginbotham has indicated he is
planning to use his ace hurler,
Bi’ooks Atchison, to start against
the cadets. His opponent more
than likely will be Lefty Bumpers,
the star twirler of the Aggie staff.
However, should S. M. U. decide
to save Atchison for the closing
game, Karow will probably start
Bill Henderson or Roy Peden.
The cadet record, too, has been
none too impressive. They have
won three games and lost two. As
long as Bumpers was going smooth
ly, the whole team followed in his
footsteps. He won his first two
starts against Baylor and Rice,
respectively, but withered against
the Owls in his next encounter. The
brilliant hurling of Frank “Lefty”
Golden was too much for the Ag
gies in their second tilt.
Following this series the cadets
journeyed on to Fort Worth for a
two game series with the T. C. U.
Horned Frogs.
And over at Providence college
in Rhode Island, members of the
Rev. Paul C. Perrotta’s class in
logice wrote their own examina
tion.
Eight per cent of them flunked.
