Newspaper Page TextCadets Want Ponies’ Hide Before Tackling Longhorns On Kyle Field— (Continued from page 9) What will the changes be next year? Here at A. & M. the juniors and seniors are somewhat protected with military contracts but this will not cover all the teams.

STEVE LOBUE OF JEFF DAVIS STAR OF ’40-’31 SCHOOLBOYS From the shadows of “North Side” in Houston there has risen a boy who for his school played a great role in traveling to the state high football and basketball play offs and to the state champion ship chair in track. Steve LoBue will be one of the marked high school boys of the year with every college and uni versity in the South seeking his enrollment. Last week he scored 10% of Jeff Davis’ 13 points in the state schoolboy meet while the second place team had only 10 points total.

Norton Predicts Texas to Win SW Title—But Not Thanksgiving Game (Continued from page 10) though not in the first few gam es.” When questioned as to the Ag gies chances of being a threat next fall, Norton stated, “Abso lutely No! The replacements made necessary by graduation cannot be made over night. You just don’t have all-conference and All-Amer- the varsity jumpers of the con ference are just doing 24. Raymond Terrell of E Field Ar tillery cleared the high bar at 6 feet 4% inches which is average height for any man’s meet in these parts. Running the 120-yd. low hurdles in 14 flat isn’t too fast but a bit of work could readily cut off a few seconds. Mitchell might have the makings of a low hurdler. W. J.

Bryan ican calibre sitting on the bench.” He added, “The Aggies will not be picked to win again as in the past, and Texas is the top team since it lost so little material and was the only team to defeat us in two years, Rice Institute rates a second place, and Southern Metho dist should be out to equal the Ag gies’ record of being on top two years in a row. Coach Matty Bell lost some good boys, but he still had a lot of experienced ones left so don’t overlook his Mustangs for 1941.” When asked about where his club should be, Norton said, “Baylor was hurt considerably but they still have a lot of material. Coach Frank Kimbrough is a new comer to the conference and he may bring in something that will cause trouble as Jess Neely did last year. Beyond Baylor, I would place T. C. U., Arkansas and the Aggies to fight it out for what is left.” Coach Norton added, “I do not expect the Aggies to finish last.” Any starting lineup that could be gathered from what happened during spring training, Norton said, would find Sterling at left end; Euel Wesson, left tackle; Ray Mil- hollan, left guard; Bill Sibley, center; Lester Richardson, right guard; Martin Ruby, right tackle; and either Bill Henderson or Elvis Simmons at right end. According to Norton, Leonard “Slats” Elder looked promising at center also. When asked about the schedule for next fall, Norton said, “We will play one more game this year than last, and we have no soft spots in our ten games. Our open er with Sam Houston Teachers will be tough as Coach Puny Wilson would like nothing better than to win from a Southwest conference team, particularly Texas A. & M.; Texas A. & I. will be trying to avenge the defeat of last season; New York University will give us a severe test, and might change the whole picture for us. Six con ference games in a row with T. C. U., Baylor, Arkansas, S. M. U., Rice and Texas in that order is enough to make any college a tough schedule, and then we close out by going out to Tacoma, Washington, to play Washington State. Does that sound like an easy schedule?” A final question found Norton firmly stating, “. . . If we lose our first eight games but win from Texas, the boys might be willing to call it a successful season.” Aggies Must Win All Remaining Tilts To Take Southwest Conference Pennant Recently Reshuffled Karowmen Have More Hitting Power Than Formerly; Should Be Able to Win Now if Pitching Comes Thru By Mike Haikin “On to Austin for Steer hide!” This is the Aggie battle cry as the final stage of the Southwest Conference baseball race nears. How ever, before the cadets can even think of Texas, they have to dispose of the pesky and sometimes dan gerous S. M. U. Mustangs. Coach Marty Karow’s diamondeers take on th e Mustangs this afternoon at Dallas in a one game stand, which should serve as an anti-climax for the Texas fray next Monday. Lefty Bumpers will probab ly toe the slab for the Karowmen, with either Brooks Atchison or Atwell Tessman being the choice of Coach Higginbotham. In their previous engagements which were played here, Bumpers and his mates slapped six extra base blows to bury the Mustangs, 8 to 3 in the first. Roy Peden won a pitch er’s duel from Tessman, 2 to 1, to sweep the series. At the outset of the campaign, the Mustangs were the No. 1 sur prise team of the race. They took the series with the T. C. U. Hom ed Frogs, but went down twice to the unpredictable Baylor Bears. This, however, did not daunt them as they slapped a setback on the heretofore undefeated Texas Long horns, 3 to 2. This was their last win, as they went down to the revenging Longhorns in a two game series, and were swept off their feet by the reorganized Ag gie squad. Brooks Atchison Sparkplug Undoubtedly, ace sparkplug and hurler of team has been Brooks Atchison, whose early season feats placed the Mustangs well up to the top. He has been the only twirler in the conference, so far, to dent the Longhorn record. Bruce Kilmer and Johnny Clement are the other stars of the team. Kil mer’s hitting has been one of the bright spots in the Pony team, which Clement’s general work at the hot corner has proven to be a big asset to Coach Higgenbotham’s diamondeers. However, one of the greatest individual accomplish ments this year was done by J. T. Bedsole, Mustang gardener. His high leaning catch of Johnny Scog- gin’s long drive in the first game of the Aggie series marks the best fielding play made this year, and one of the best and most difficult catches that has ever been seen on Kyle Field. Until recently, the cadet team placed all their hope on the ability of the mound staff. As long as Bumpers was right, the team kept winning. But just as soon as the southpaw faltered the whole team went down. That was true in the Baylor game and the Rice tilt. In the Bear game, the hurlers could n’t withstand Baylor’s assault, while Bumper’s weakness in the Owl fray was the main cause of the defeat. GREETINGS!
