Down Ponies in First of Two Game Series
Aggies Clean TCU Baseballers as
Old Sol Condescends to Do a Little Work
By Dub Oxford
The sun has favored us with its
presence this week end and Thurs
day it kept shining for the Aggie-
T. C. U. game. Maybe old Sol was
on our side, for the Aggies took
the Horned Frogs for a frying 14
to 6. Whether this weather will
hold for the rest of the week is
a debatable proposition. It has
been said that this is the month
that College Station condescends
to give some of its rain to the
rest of the world.
This makes him undefeated in con
ference play and eligible for a
letter.
Irvine McKey, Aggie sophomore
sprint star in the 100 yard free
style will be a strong contender in
the Southwestern A. A. U. senior
swim and diving meet. The meet
is being held this afternoon and
night at the Dallas Athletic Club.
Coach Adamson is depending on
McKey to do his share of piling up
points.
Although Charlie Stevenson fin
ished for the Aggies in the Aggie-
Horned Frog game after Henderson
was chased out in the fourth, the
win was credited to Henderson.

For the first time in the swim
ming history in the Southwest a
national champion swimming
champ will award a trophy to the
outstanding swimmer of the year
in this section. The Adolph Kiefer
Trophy will be presented tonight
after the finals in the Southwest
A. A. U. meet.
Five Texas Aggie tankmen went
to Dallas and the men from A. &
M. who will be eligible are: Bob
Taylor, Harold Hensley, Jimmy
Davis, Happy McKey, and Bob
Cowling.
Pulling a muscle earlier in the
season, Derace Moser recovered
satisfactorily but it seems that
hard luck is dogging Derace. In
the Drake relays he pulled another
muscle and is now on the shelf for
the rest of the season. Moser will
be sorely missed by the team es
pecially in the “Big” Conference
Meet on May 10. Moser is an
anchor man on both relay teams.
Freshman swimming is not a
recognized sport so the freshman
varsity aspirants swam the Ste
phen F. Austin High School last
Saturday and walloped them 50 to
24. The Aggie fish swam under the
name of the Campus club. Amus
ing incidents of the meet was the
throwing of Bob Taylor into the
water. Taylor, who was fully cloth
ed at the time, has been coaching
the fish team during the absence
of Coach Art Adamson.
The date for the impending
water carnival has been definitely
set for May 9 and 10 and the swim
mers have been in hard practice
working up stunts for the event. A
sure fire event of the carnival will
be a water polo game played the
length of the pool instead of the
width.

TU Wins Track Meet Over A&M, Rice
Scores 75
Points Out of
A Possible 170
Texas Establishes
Itself as Favorite
To Win Conference
By Jack Hollimon
The “Little Conference Track
Meet” held on Kyle field yester
day afternoon saw Texas Univer
sity put down Rice Institute and
Texas A. & M. with 75 points
over the Owls 51% marks and A.
& M.’s 43% points. Texas kept
the Aggies and Rice well in hand
most of the meet to establish them
selves as odds on favorites for an
other Conference championship.
This conference meet takes place
in Austin next week. Roy Bucek
of A. & M. and Harry Haffernick
of Texas tied for high points with
10 each.
Highlight of the afternoon, and
an outstanding example of Long
horn talent was speed merchant
Carleton Terry’s spectacular and
hard to believe time in the century
dash of 9.2. Terry was helped great
ly by a stiff breeze, but neverthe
less his run will go on the books
as an unforgettable time. Fred
Ramsdall of Texas chased Terry
across to grab second place from
little Joe Blagg of Rice. Earl
“Bama” Smith closed fast for
fourth position. The world record
for 100 yards is 9.4 and even with
a wind, .2 of a second is a lot to
clip off. His injury in the 220 yard
dash will not keep him out of the
conference get together next week,
according to Texas coach Little
field.
440 yard competition ended with
Harold Hall of Rice spinning
around in 50.1 seconds to beat Mac
Usmtadtt of Texas. Neath of Rice
and Sparks of Texas got third and
fourth respectively.
Rice’s Owlets took the freshman
division of the meet by scoring 60%
points to the Shorthorns’ 57 scores.
The Aggie Fish brought up the rear
with 41% points. Cummins of Rice
was high-point man for 1st year
contestants with a total of 22%
points piled up in several events.
Moving with ease of motion and
beauty of stride, Harry Haffer
nick won easily in the mile and two
mile runs. His kick was too much
for Gus Laney who valiently took
second place in both races. Stew
art of A. & M. gained third spot
over Hardy of Rice in the mile,
and Elmore clinched third for Ag-
gieland in the two mile heat.

Annual Water
Carnival Is Set
For May 9 and 10
Friday and Saturday, May 9 and
10, nights have been set aside at
the ole swimmin’ hole at Aggieland
for the Annual Water Carnival.
This year’s show is expected to
exceed by far the fun, show, and
aquatic ability of the past years.
Highlight of the carnival will be
the parade of beautiful damsels
dressed in what the stylish bath
ing beauties will wear on the beach
and in the pool the coming season.
Other events on the schedule will
will be clown diving, fancy div
ing, water polo games and a spec
ialty act from Baylor University.
Chick Denny and Scotty Potter
play the parts of the fools on a
ten foot board and are well able
to pull laughs from the most de
pressed individuals.
The program from Baylor is put
on by Young and Bland. It con
sists of a trapeze act over the
water, a diving exhibition, and an
tics on the teeter board. Young
holds the Texas A. A. F. diving
championship and promisfes the
tops in that field.
Water polo teams composed of
players from the old and new areas
respectively will clash against each
other in the game Saturday night.
Plans for the game on Friday night
have not been completed as yet
but well matched teams are prom
ised.
The Carnival is scheduled to be
gin at 7:15 on both nights in order
that the show will be completed
before dance time. Benefits of the
entertainment will go to help de
fray the expenses of the Water
Polo team

E Field Artillery Fish Prove
Superiority in Horseshoe Pitching
By Bob Myers
Winners of this season’s Class
B Horse shoe pitching came from
E Field Artillery. In their final
game with G Coast Artillery, they
proved their superiority by down
ing the Coast team 2-0.
Harang and Schaper won the
first match over Buniva and Lutz
to make the score 1-0. In the next
win for E Battery, Bumstead and
Carlisle capitalized on their su
perior ability and outpitched Win
chester and Carter. With the score
standing 2-0, it was not necessary
to complete the third match. Both
teams presented good pitchers and
showed that the two top outfits
battled it out for the champion
ship.

Frogs Make
Many Errors as
They Lose 14 to 6
Bunching six of their fourteen
hits for seven runs in the opening
frame to go along with a score of
errors, the Texas Aggies wallop
ed the T. C. U. Frogs, 14 to 6, in
a wild and free scoring tilt played
here Thursday afternoon.
This game was no pitching duel
as the first inning indicated. Nine
runs were accounted for in this
canto, with the Aggies getting the
best of the ordeal. A mental lapse
by the Aggie first baseman Pugh
contributed greatly to the T. C. U.
cause. With the bases loaded Den
nis Tankersley, Frog gardener, hit
a grounder to force Sorrels at
second. The ball was relayed back
to Pugh who thought he had com
pleted a double play. Rusty Cowart
and Ralph Tankersley both scored
as the Aggie first sacker held on
to the ball.
Bill Henderson started on the
mound for the cadets and received
credit for the win and his fourth
letter at Aggieland. However, he
was wild as a March hare, and had
to give way to rotund Charlie
Stevenson in the fourth with the
bases loaded. Charlie then brought
a gleam in Coach Marty Karow’s
eyes as he proceeded to pitch ex
cellent ball. Stevenson’s sudden re
turn to form should lessen Karow’s
worry in his dire need for hurlers.
The Aggies had three big in
nings in which they pounded the
Frog hurlers hard and often. They
shelled A. J. Brumbahgh, starting
Toad hurler before he could even
get warmed up, and continued their
assault on Vandervolk and Adams
for their other runs. Thirteen men
faced the Frog hurlers in the open
ing frame to account for seven
runs. The cadets added three more
in the third canto on Buchanan’s
double, Francis’ walk, Scoggin’s
single, and Jeffrey’s solid smash.
Four more runs trickled across
the plate in the fifth inning as the
cadets ended their scoring for the
day.
The Aggies, in general, played a
smart and cautious game. Besides
their exceptional hitting, they field
ed like veterans, accounting for
four twin killings. Jack Lindsey,
hustling second sacker, figured in
three of the double plays. Lindsey
(Continued on Page 4)
A Coast Artillery shoved B
Coast Artillery aside to Advance
to the semi-finals in Horseshoe
pitching by a score of 2-1. Wat
kins, Curtis, Haring, and Schwinn
won for A Battery while Cox,
Dreiss, and Casso managed for
the loser’s win.
In a quarter-finals volleyball
game, D Engineers came from be
hind to win 2-1 over M Infantry.
After taking the first match 15-13,
the Infantry dropped to the short
end of the last two matches and
lost 12-15 and 10-15.
B Field Artillery took their
eighth-finals Volleyball game from
5th Corps Headquarters with only
two matches. The 2-0 score came
about after close scores of 15-10
and 15-12.
Four men from E Infantry swam
and won their meet with B Coast
Artillery despite the fact that they
were short-handed. Zerr, Pankey,
Huffman, and Nester made up the
supperman team.
K Infantry started their soft-
ball game with D Coast Artillery
on the run and didn’t stop until
eight men had crossed the plate.
With this enjoyable margin, they
coasted along to take the game
15-10.
An unusual swimming meet be
tween I Field Artillery and E Eng
ineers saw only one disqualifica
tion in the breaststroke swim.
Inglefield, Wilson, Hall, Edwards,
and Burton did the swimming hon
ors for I Battery and came through
on the long end of the 31-10 score.
On the Ping Pong field of bat
tle, G Coast Artillery and 3rd
Headquarters Field Artillery both
won 5-0 games over their oppon
ents, H Infantry and I Field Ar
tillery, respectively.
1st Corps Headquarters Ping
Pongers Bemish, Parkerson, Caro,
and Owens racked up a 4-1 score in
their game with 2nd Headquarters
Field Artillery. Lone winner of the
losers was Puntch.

This man will be awarded the
Adolph Kiefer Trophy which is
given by Kiefer, a national swim
ming champion.
Aggies Continue Hitting
Assault Against Mustangs
Scoggin and Lindsey Hit Homers for
Aggies; Final Game Scheduled Today
By Mike Haikin
Continuing their furious hitting
assault where they left off against
T. C. U., the Texas Aggie nine
pounded out an 8 to 3 victory over
the S. M. U. Mustangs here yes
terday afternoon in the first of a
two-game series.
The teams conclude the series
this afternoon at 2:30 with Roy
Peden slated to hurl for the cadets
and Etwell Tessman being the prob
able choice of Coach Roswell Hig-
ginbothan to attempt to square
the series at one all.
Hitting when hits meant runs,
the Aggies accounted for five
extra-base blows, including homers
by Jack Lindsey and Johnny Scog-
gin. Bruce Kilmer of S. M. U. hit
for the circuit in the sixth frame
to put the Mustangs into a short
lived lead.
Lefty Bumpers started for the ca
dets and had the Mustangs well
in hand but two innnings. Besides
whiffing ten men and walking only
four, the cadet ace southpaw also
contributed to the Aggie offense
by slamming out two singles and
batting in one run.
Brooks Atchison, star twirler of
the Mustang staff, pitched good
enough to win any other game, but
the Aggie extra base hits were
too much for him. He seemed head
ed for victory after Kilmer’s four-
ply blow in the sixth, but the ca
dets weren’t to be denied.
The Aggies broke the ice in the
second frame accounting for two
tallies. Scoggin was safe on Davis’
error and scored behind Lindsey as
Jack caught one of Atchison’s fast

However, the Mustangs dead

The score remained deadlocked
until the sixth when Kilmer picked
one to his liking and sent the ball
