Over at Memorial Stadium in
Austin last Saturday a Houston
high schooler named Steve Lobue
did everything but water the old
bedraggled Longhorn Steer graz
ing peacefully on that turf when
he garnered 10% points to lead
Jeff Davis to a state championship.
This may not be too wonderful ex
cept that barrel-chested Steve can
play bang-up football and basket
ball. He would make Aggie coaches
think of another Houston boy nam
ed Bill “Jitterbug” Henderson if
they had him wearing our hon
orable maroon and white.
While we’re on the subject of
Henderson, it is interesting to note
that a chance remark, almost jok
ing, sent “Jitter” on his now-
famous pursuit of four varsity let
ters. Assistant Publicity Director
H. B. McElroy, just “Mac” to the
athletes mentioned it to him after
the end of his fish year, and de
spite protests of injury-fearing
basketball coaches, Bill started out

Frogs Sink Aggie
Golfers in Feature
Match Here Friday
Win Over Cadets
* Makes TCU Staunch
Conference Favorite
The Texas Aggie golf team suf
fered its first setback since the
Fort Worth Exposition meet when
the T. C. U. Frogs out-manned
them in a feature match here Fri
day afternoon.
In view of their victory over the
cadets, the Frogs rank as staunch
favorites to cop the Southwest
Conference meet which will be held
in Austin May 9 and 10.
Henry Hauser and Henry Rich
ards, Aggie ace linksmen, started
the doubles match with Bob Sikes
and Ed Rivercromb with a bang
by beating the T. C. U. golfers 4
and 3. Hauser went on to win his
singles match with Sikes, 8 up.
Kyle Gillespie, Frog gridiron ace
of the past season, also had a win
ning afternoon. In the doubles
match he combined with Benton
Beasley to shade John Roberts and
Bob Warne of the Aggies, 2 and 1.
Gillespie also annexed his singles
match with Roberts, 6 and 4, with
Rivercomb and Beasley taking the
other two matches over Richards
and Warne, respectively. The scor
es were 3 and 2 in both matches.

F and E Battery Field Artil
lery dominated both the Class A
and B track meet Sunday after
noon, in events that had even
Coach Douch Rollins envious. F
Field Artillery compiled a total
of 20% points to take first place
honors in Class A, while the Artil
lerymen from E Field made 29
markers to win the freshman divi
sion. Upperclassmen from E
Field took the runnerup position
with 19 points with A Engineers,
C Infantry and B Infantry, com
ing in that order for the first
five teams. F Field Artillery was
second in the Class B division,
with A Field Artillery, B Signal
Corps and Machine Gun Cavalry
coming in that order. Only the
first five places are listed here.
The other positions are posted on
the Intramural Office bulletin
board.
Wilson, are worried about high
school athletes’ obvious preference
for state schools. People are won
dering about Presto Johnston’s fi
nancial status in case everybody
throws rocks from the question
able cover of a glass house. Mr.
Bible of Texas took up the hue and
cry, but he is riding in the same
leaky boat.
The individual winners of the
various events are as follows:
Broad Jump A—Adams (A Engi
neers)—21 ft. 1 1-2 in; Class B—
Welch (E Field Art)—20.5.
High Jump: Class A—Terrell
(E. F.A.) — 6.4 3-4; Class B—
Cox (D Cavalry)—5-11.
Javalin Throw: Class A—Hill (C

F.A.)—150.6.
100 yard dash: Class A—John
son, S. N. (F. F.A.)—10.3; Class
B—Welch (E. F.A.)—10-5.
120 yard low hurdles: Class A—
Mitchell (5th Corps Hdq.)—14

Whiting (B Signal Corps)—43.6.
At this time, Mr. Penberthy and
the intramural department wish
to extend their appreciation to the
boys who helped out at the meet.
Without them, it would have been
a difficult job.
A sizzling fire ball and a lanky
frame gave Walter “Sam” Bass
importance in baseball on Kyle
Field, but the lure of professional
baseball pulled him in and he sign
ed with Knoxville in the Cotton
States League. “Sam” has plenty
of stuff, according to the author
ities, and whenever he learns to
control a big foot, he can send that
red-hot horseside home.
A hundred yards in 9.2 seconds
is Carlton Terry’s momentous ef
fort last Friday on the oval. His
tremendous acknowledgment
throughout the sports minded world
for this and other great races have
caused coaches of the Pacific Coast,
long the home of track speed, to
wire coach Littlefield for Texas’
presence, including Jack Hughes,
in their big-time track and field
meet. All this from Billy Sansing,
likable Daily Texan Sports Editor.
Bill was here for the “Little Con
ference” meet, and he mentioned
a certain team from Austin that
will be carrying big guns next fall.
If Benito and Adolph keep on, those
Texas boys will be carrying big
guns next fall—right in the ranks.

Stars Champions,
Beauties, Clowns
McKey, Davis, Taylor
And Hensley Set New
Time in Free Style Relay
Texas A. & M.’s annual Water
Carnival will be held May 9 and
10 in P. L. Downs Jr. natatorium,
and a galaxy of swimming beau
ties, diving champions and tank
stars are readying a program that
is expected to lead in aquatic ex
hibition of the season.
Baylor university is to be rep
resented by a specialty act while
other events will include diving
shows, water polo games, and the
hilarious antics of clown divers
Chick Denny and Scotty Potter.
In strange comparison to the
scanty water togs of those lovelies
who are scheduled to parade, the
attire of both clowns in and out
of aqua should find it worth one’s
time to push them from the high
diving board.
Bland and Young of the Waco
school perform a trapeze act in
termingled with teeter board friv
olity and diving exhibitions. Both
of these Baylor swimmers are rec
ognized experts and Young is the
present holder of the Texas A. A.
F. diving championship.
Rain in Brazos county will be
nothing after the crowds have wit
nessed the splashing of water polo
teams selected from the new and
old area. Top-flight players are
to be picked and this portion of
the carnival promises to be a high
light.
Opening time is 7:15 for both
nights and the program is schedul
ed to terminate before dance time.
All proceeds realized from the
crowds expected to attend will be
used to defray expenses of Coach
Art Adamson’s water polo club in
future trips.

Mustangs Saturday 2 to 1
Aggie Horsemen
Make Creditable
Showing in Austin
Eight Aggie horsemen turned
in a creditable showing for them
selves and their mounts Satur
day, May 3, at the annual horse
show in Austin sponsored by the
Bit and Spur Club of the Univer
sity of Texas. This is the first
year that A. & M. has ever com
peted in any event other than the
horsemanship class and they han
dled their regular military mounts
in excellent manner.
Rain-filled clouds released a
downpour that made jumping al
most impossible, but the cadets,
nevertheless, exhibited training
and ability. The jumps had to be
taken outside of the ring as a re
sult of the soggy ground.
In the horsemanship class, A.
& M. made a clean sweep of all
four places when S. O. Callahan
won the blue ribbon, Ralph E. Hill
Jr. rode admirably for second
place, Bill Ehman took third, and
M. H. “Matt” Martin placed
fourth. All of these riders brought
Aggieland much honor on the dis
tant field.
The Aggie hunt team composed
of cadets Jack Irving riding Spot,
Ralph E. Hill Jr. on Buddy, and
Chase Kincannon on Ford gallop
ed handily into fourth place. Foot
ing was extremely precarious and
this eliminated another A. & M.
team that was well in front of
all other competition. This team
consisting of Bob Tonkin, Nig Cal-
liham, and Bill Ehman had com
pleted all but the last hurdle when
Ehman’s mount fell, disqualifying
the team.
Numerous competitors and the
sponsors of the show compliment
ed A. & M. on their fine appear
ance and horsemanship. The Ag
gies were constant contenders in
all, events entered and their show
ing was a definite asset to the
school, according to Major Ste
vens and Lieut. W. G. North,
coaches.
Clean Sweep Made
Of Two Game Series
Bill (Slugger) Buchanan’s homer
coupled with Roy Peden’s brilliant
mound exhibition proved too good
a combination for S. M. U. as the
Texas Aggies shaded the S. M. U.
Mustangs 2 to 1 here Saturday
afternoon to make a clean sweep
of the two-game series.
Buchanan’s four-ply blow came
in the eighth frame with Cecil
Ballow on base to break up a heat
ed pitching duel between Peden
and Atwell Tessman, Pony hurler.
For seven innings “goose-eggs”
dotted the scoreboard for both
teams. Previous to the eighth can
to, Tessman had allowed only one
scratch single, while Peden, was
charged with three bingles.
The big Aggie righthander was
never better than he was that day.
His wide sweeping curve was a
great enigma to the Mustangs.
Peden whiffed eleven men, eight of
them coming in the first four
frames. Tessman matched Peden’s
performance until the eighth, and
for a time it seemed that the game
would never end.
The Mustangs threatened mildly
in the third. With one down, Pace
and Clement poked singles, but
Ramsey struck out and Tessman
skied to right.
No one cadet reached second off
Tessman until the eighth frame.
Peden’s swinging bunt was the only
base blow for the cadets then. Al
though striking out only two men,
the Mustang pitcher had the sit
uation well in hand.
Then came the eighth frame.
Carden and Peden both grounded
out, but Ballow poked a one-bag
ger into center. With the count
two and nothing in his favor, Buch
anan picked one of Tessman’s fast
ones arid sent the ball reeling into
Norton’s “cow pasture” far over
the fence.
However, the Mustangs weren’t
going down without one last ef
fort. With one down in the ninth
Davis took life as Ballow threw
his grounder away. He went all
the way to second on the error.
Cliff Hagerman, southpaw gard
ener, fooled himself and everyone
else, as he bounced a double down
the left field foul line to score
Davis. Peden then tightened up,
forcing Gonzales to fly out to Jef
frey and Keith to pop out to Bal
low.
Hits and runs were far and few
between in this game with the sup
port being excellent for both pitch
ers. Jeffrey’s circus catch of Gon
zales’ short fly into right in the
ninth was the fielding gem of the
day, while Davis’ play at the key
stone sack was a great asset to
the Mustang cause.

Southwest A.A.U. indoor meet, and
I Taylor swam off with the 220-yard
freestyle in record breaking time of
2:17.1 to better his own record by
4.9 seconds. He then turned his
hand to the 440-yard freestyle and
I won easily, setting another record
that he already held. His time in
this event was 5:7.5 and it was un
der the old record 6.4 seconds.
Harold Hensley won the 100-yard
freestyle with a great swim effort
but missed the record by a narrow
margin.
A. & M.’s 200-yard freestyle re
lay team raced to victory in the
record breaking time of 1:40.4,
one tenth of a second under the old.
This foursome was composed of
Hensley, McKey, Davis, and Taylor.
After the meet Taylor was voted
the outstanding swimmer of 1941
