Aggies and Longhorns Clash for SW Baseball Lead
On
Kyle Field
By Dub Oxford
As to who is going to get the
conference baseball flag, that is a
question that even Professor Quiz
would have a hard time answering.
Texas A. & M. and the University
of Texas are in the title race for
the flag and the question will be
settled this weekend when the
Steers invade Aggieland.
Mel Deutsch, ace hurler for the
Steers, is rumored to have a sore
arm, but I imagine that the wing
will be in shape for the big games
Friday and Saturday.

has been fine for Coach Marty
Karow’s Aggie nine and the sack-
men are taking advantage of the
fine weather to really get a few
licks of hard practice.
And speaking of the weather, it
is fine for golf too. Charlie Stev
enson, one of the Aggies’ main
stays on the mound came in from
a “large” game of golf and re
ported that he had made the won
derful score of 54. Well, that just
proves, Charlie, that you should
stick to baseball.

F Engineers Win Volleyball Crown
By Downing D Engineers 15-1; 15-13
By Mike Haikin
The new volleyball champions
of Aggieland! That honor drop
ped right into the laps of F En
gineers as they downed the hardy
but outclassed D Engineers, 2 to
0. They had an easy time in the
first game, crushing their rivals,
15 to 1. D Company, however,
came back fighting like wildcats
in the second fray but the well-
polished F Engineers had just
enough on the ball to quench the
onslaught and annex the game,
15 to 13.

Playoffs for softball got under
way yesterday afternoon and the
champion is due to be crowned
within two weeks. The process of
mopping up is just about over,
and the league-winning diamond-
eers are ready to get down to ser
ious work.
—o—
A 6-run outburst in the final
inning by 1st Corps Hdq. fell short
by one run as A Coast survived
the rally and took the free-swing
ing game, 15 to 14. Ellis, Coast
chunker, had an easy going for six
innings, but instead of bearing
down in the final canto loosened
up.
Ken Schmidt’s brilliant hurling
performance sparked the 2nd Hdq.
Field Artillery to a 2 to 1 victory
over A Signal Corps in a feature
game on the baseball field. This
'was one of the best played games
this year, with hits and runs be
ing few and far between. A. L.
Watson of A Signal Corps, pitch
ed good enough to win most
games, but he had the hard luck
of bumping against Schmidt.
—o—
Swimming again hit the spot
light of Class A intramurals, with
some first-class swimming meets
being reeled off. In one of the fea
ture meets of the day, A CWS
took F Infantry in hand for an 18
to 12 win. Stubbs of CWS, and
Anderson of the Infantry were tied
for individual honors with seven
markers apiece. The other meet
proved just as exciting with H
Coast handing I Field Artillery a
24 to 19 setback.

Conference Spotlight Will
Focus on Kyle Field Games
8,000 Fans to Witness*
Heated Diamond Feud
By Jack Hollimon
In a clash for the conference
lead Friday and Saturday after
noons on Kyle Field, the first place
Texas Longhorns cross bats with
Texas A. & M. in runner-up posi
tion, and the outcome will give the
winner an excellent chance to go
on to a championship. Texas has
subdued conference teams nine
times while being overwhelmed
once, and the Aggies have six
consecutive victories to two early
defeats. These games hold the
spotlight for Southwest conference
sports during the weekend.
A crowd of nearly 8,000 fans is
expected to fill the stands on both
afternoons, and in the event of
two Texas victories, there will not
be a third in Austin Monday and
the Steers will be 1941 champions.
However, should A. & M. come
through, they need win only those
three games to oust Texas as base
ball champions. If they need to
finish up, they will play Baylor a
game washed out earlier in the
season.
Everything points to a battle
worthy of much recognition be
tween these ’ age-old rivals on the
field of sports. No victory is so
sweet to the Aggies as a thorough
stomping of the Longhorns, while
the Texans consider an A. & M.
win a successful season. To urge
their corps and players into a fren
zy of yelling and backing-up of
the team, the complete A. & M.
band will be present along with the
yell leaders. From the south
stands, orange and white will be
a color combination much disdain
ed.

’-Bumpers, Roy Peden, Billy Hen

Bumpers and Peden are likely to
start, with the other two used to
quell a possible Texas uprising.
Texas has ailing Melvin Deutsch
back in top condition again and he
is destined to get a call for one
of the games with Udell Moore,
overworked Steer, answering for
the other. The Austin boys have
not made such good showings as
the spring grows older, and ex
perts give A. & M. a better than
even chance of passing them. If
hustle and fight can do it, then,
according to A. & M. coach Marty
Karow, the Aggies will move into
the number one place on the con
ference statistician’s hit-parade.
Game time Friday has been set
for 3:30 o’clock, and the contest
Saturday will get under way at
2:30. Both clubs will enter the fray
at full strength and among those
estimated 8,000 spectators will be
A. & M. as represented by it’s
mighty student body.
