Aggie Win Saturday Gives Temporary Conference Lead
On
Kyle Field
By Jack Hollimon
Texas Score-keeper Gives
Glory to Texas A. & M. Band
When Texas comes to Kyle Field
the things that happen are great
for the Aggies and rough on the
Steers, but the game Saturday
made a philosopher, a thinker, and
a Christian out of one young “gen
tleman” from Austin who kept
score for the Longhorns. He sat
quietly, watching with subdued in
terest the goings on that had ca
dets hanging from the rafters, and
through the entire eighth inning
not a word was spoken by this
“T-ea” man. Finally A. & M. end
ed the game by taking over 7 to
You hear a lot about
“precision tooling” these
days. Did it ever occur
to you that tailoring is
an operation requiring
the greatest precision!
The difference between
a smartly fitted suit and
a sagging, unsightly
garment is a question of
precision. It’s precision
tailoring that makes
Griffon summer suits
so becoming!

Braid Sets Two
Scoring Records
For Year’s Games
Texas A. & M.’s hard-riding
polo team closed out the season
with a resounding win over the
Lampasas Polo Club Sunday aft
ernoon on Jackson Field 15 to
3 after “Banging” Bill Braid and
his mates roundly outplayed the
visiting civilian quartet.
Braid, mixing in action on
every side, took control of the con
test during the fourth chukker and
scored four goals that establish
ed a record for individual scoring
during a single chukker this year,
and he was high goal man of the
game with seven markers which
sets another 1940-1941 record.
In the first period, A. & M.
and Lampasas were even with one
goal apiece, but the Aggies moved
ahead during the next two chukkers
and at halftime, the cadets led by
a score of 6 to 3. Then came the
5-goal outburst in the fourth chuk
ker that gave A. & M. complete
advantage in the goal department.
They added one more in the fifth
chukker and three in the last to
trample a Lampasas foursome held
scoreless throughout the last half.
Besides Braid’s seven gojpls,
Walter Hart counted three, Cap-

said, “The totals for my score

run for Scoggins, and SIX RUNS

Lampasas Pony Shows Army
Mounts How to Get Around
Proving'that size is no advan
tage, the little roan polo pony be
longing to the Lampasas Polo
Club trotted onto Jackson Field
Sunday and shamed the efforts'of
every “Regulation” size horse in
the game. His beauty was not
skin deep, because every time he
entered into a race, he came out
throwing dust in his opponent’s
eyes. Your writer, in a conversa
tion with U. S. Cavalry Lieuten
ant Speers of the military depart
ment, heard this said by him,
*. . . and that horse could have
spotted any mount there two
lengths and outrun him in a 75-
yard race.”
Lefty Bumpers, Aggie pitch
er, scores the tying run, above

Jeffrey comes to bat for the
cadets. The Longhorn catcher
watches forlornly as Bumpers
crosses the plate. The cadets
won, 3 to 2, with credit going to
Bumpers.

Intramurah
Coast Artillery Has Winner in Every
Class A Softball Game Over Week-end
Pistol Shooters Needed
For Next Year’s Outfit
Part of acting as sports editor
is getting news, and when we
were over in the Coast Artillery
Armory yesterday, Lieutenant
Strothers told us a few things
about the pistol team. Gradua
tion and other duties wrecked the
National Championship lineup of
last year, but an average team
was organized for this year. How
ever, the team is badly in need of
men for the 1941-1942 club. With
all the boys in the school we have
who have had experience with
pistols and other arms, a well-
rounded team should come for
ward. Let’s don’t forget the try
outs next fall.

ord of 2:26.2. George Heaney,
Austin of El Paso, bettered the

Brackenridge 180-yard medley re
lay team splashed to a new mark
by getting under San Jacinto

presense. Next day the professor

Cadets Overcome Early TU
Lead to Blast Out Close
7-5 Victory in 8th Inning
Stevenson Relieves Peden to Silence
Orange and White Batters Late in Game
A vicious six run splurge in the-
eighth inning gave a fighting Ag
gie team a lead over the Long
horns from Texas University here
Saturday, and the cadets went
ahead to win the game by a score
of 7 to 5. This victory gave the
Aggies first place in the confer
ence standing as of Saturday.
The Longhorns took an early
lead in the first inning when they
scored two runs as a result of a
single by Horace Glenn and a
home run by Pete Layden which
scored Glenn. J. D. Scoggin hom-
ered for the Aggies in the second,
and Jack Stone retaliated with a
circuit blow for the Longhorns
in the third.
Roy Peden pitched for the Ag
gies until the eighth inning, when
he was removed in favor of Charles
Stevenson. During the eighth in
ning the Longhorns added two
more runs to their score. Both
Peden for the Aggies and Udell
Moore for Texas had pitched good
ball up until this time.
In the Aggies half of the eighth
inning, the fireworks started and
A. & M. scored six runs before
Texas could apply the brakes.
Beefus Bryan came in to relieve
Moore, but the damage was done
and the Aggies had created a two
run lead. Stevenson, who was the
winning pitcher, helped to win his
game with a mighty double in this
inning which scored two runs;
Stevenson later came in with the
tying run himself.
The ninth inning saw a threat of
the Longhorns erased as Lefty
Bumpers, winner of Friday’s
game, replaced Stevenson and went
on to hold the Steers scoreless in
the last inning. The final score
was 7 to 5 in favor of the Ag
gies.

Handball Meet to
Reach Semi-finals
Aggieland’s handball tournament
has been moving at a fast clip
since the beginning of competition
and play has reached the third
bracket. All games have been con
tested and the completion of this

to four men.
Interest in the tournament has
been high, according to manager
Ransom Kenny and Mike Cokinos,
and the activity points to becoming
an annual affair.
Those players advanced to the
third bracket are A1 Droleski, Cok
inos, Spoede, Smith, Nayowitz,
Kenny, and Ed Droleski. Semi-fin
als and finals in the tournament
are slated to be held next week.
Eastern New Mexico’s public in
