Aggies Clash WithBaylorToday at Waco for Share of Title
HO.’HUD' JOHNSON
BATTALION SPORTS EDITOR
By Jack Hollimon
Baseball Team Goes Out
For Co-championship Today
We move over to Waco today,
if it doesn’t rain, to play our final
game of the southwest conference
baseball race. This is Marty Karow
and the team’s chance to annex a
co-championship, and they are
ready to tackle the Bruins. Marty
makes his last attempt this time
because next year, he becomes bas
ketball mentor for A. & M. Bump
ers has been getting plenty of rest
and that left flipper of his should
be set to mow ’em down. Katy
Park, old Texas League grounds
at 7th and Mary in Waco, will
probably be the site of the clash,
and Aggies are expected to make
a mass movement over to “the
heart of Texas” for the game. Mud
was ankle deep last Wednesday
around the batter’s box despite can
vas covering. It seems they had a
little of our Brazos County “dew.”
The meeting held Wednesday af
ternoon between Karow, Norton,
and Koch culminated in a decision
to play the tilt in College Station
today, but Ralph Wolf, athletic
head at Baylor later met with the
committee and suggested that a
Waco-played game would be to
the better interests of all con
cerned. It was originally supposed
to be held in Waco.

Texas. “T” Association
Renders an Apology to A&M
Billy Sansing of the Daily Tex
an, Longhorn newspaper, printed
an official apology written by the
“T” Association in the last edition
of his “Seein’ Sports.” It made
front page of this Battalion and
is an excellent example of the
worthy path the Texas “T” men
•ftry to follow. Rivalry is intense be
tween the schools, and this pro
motes great competition, but it
went a little far Monday in Aus
tin. A final thought of Sansing’s
is a bit misleading however, when
any Aggie sees it. He says, “Then
there’s the talk that Pete Layden
has made a ghost of the ‘Spirit of
Aggieland’.” From this side of the
question, 6,500 cadets of Texas A.
& M. College will tell him that
after everybody concerned has be
come a ghost, the “Spirit of Aggie
land” will be as much alive in the
heart’s of those Aggies to come as
it ever was before Pete Layden
became a Steer. We haven’t said
a word about “I’ve Been Working
on the Railroad.”
Here Comes That Man With
A Load of Midnight Mail!
Your writer rode back with
“Lefty” Moon from Waco the oth
er day, and found out a lot of in.
teresting things about him. Moon
has gone to bat as a pinch hitter
for A. & M. seven times this year
and his record proves Marty does
n’t worry to much when he tells
“Lefty” to get in there and bat.
He has made only one out while
getting three hits and three walks.
His leg that suffered a four-inch
break last year just above the foot
has mended considerably and with
his two years of eligibility ahead
of him, he should be adding more
percentage points to an already
high batting average. Everything
suits “Lefty” but this business of
8:00 o’clock classes. Reasons are
varied but the main one is his
job. You see, “Lefty” collects the
midnight mail!

Premature Headline From
Longhorn Paper Gives Laugh
There is an old “Daily Texan”
on the desk now dated Sunday,
April 20, 1941. Within the edition,
on page two, there is an article
telling of the defeat of A. & M. at
the hands of Rice Institute’s nine
6 to 3. The headline for this article
is, “Are the Aggies Still in the
League?”. Texas A. & M., after
winning two out of three games
with Texas is playing Baylor today
for the co-championship of the
league!

Scoggins and Bucek
Captains for 1942
John Scoggins and Roy Bucek
were given a tribute by their team-
mates Thursday night for their
great display of athletic prowess
throughout the year when they
were elected captains of baseball
and track, respectively. The elect
ions were held at the homes of
Coaches Marty Karow and Dough
Rollins, who were the hosts at a
banquet given to their individual
teams.
Scoggins broke into the baseball
lineup early last season, and since
then has been responsible for more
than one Aggie win. His regular
position is in left field, but because
of an injury to Red Carden, Aggie
catcher, he has done some of the
backstopping.
Bucek has been the outstanding
trackman for the cadets all sea
son, excelling in the hurdling ev
ents. He gained first place in both
hurdles at the Southwest Confer
ence meet, and has shown stellar
work all season.

Second Meeting of Officials Causes Tilt
To be Returned to Katy Park; Karow
And 7 Aggie Players in Last Appearance
Tiffht Pitching Duel in Prospect With Bumpers and
Golden Due to be In Tip-Top Condition at Game Time
Unless the weatherman decides’"without warning, the infield sud-
to interfere in the Aggie-Baylor
series, the cadets and Bruins will
clash this afternoon at Katy Park
to decide if the Karowmen will
share the baseball title with Texas
University. The Longhorns clinch
ed a part of the flag when they
bombarded a weak T. C. U. team
12 to 2 last Tuesday.
The game was originally schedul
ed for Waco, but following Wed
nesday’s rainout, officials from A.
& M. and Baylor agreed to have
the game staged on Kyle Field.
However, another meeting ensued,
and it was finally decided to play
at Katy Park. Should it rain in
Waco, the game will be promptly
brought to College Station.
Coach Marty Karow and seven
players will put on their uniforms
for the last time. Following this
game, Karow will hand over the
reins to Trainer Lil Dimmitt, and
will devote all his time to basket
ball.
Lefty Bumpers will be given the
job of pitching the cadets into a
co-championship with the Long
horns. This will be Bumpers’ final
performance on the mound for the
cadets, and he is hoping to make
it his best one. He has accounted
for 6 of the 11 victories for A. &
M., being the only Aggie athlete
to subdue the Texas Longhorns in
any sport this year. It will be Roy
Peden’s last performance, also, and
the Aggie ace relief hurler will
stand by just in case the Bears
become unruly for Bumpers.
Facing Aggie batters will be
Frank “Lefty” Golden, ace twirler
of the Bruin staff. His perform
ances against the Aggies and the
Steers were masterpieces, and only
weak support in the Texas game
cost him the decision. His twelve
inning victory over the Aggies earl
ier in the year has cautioned Coach
Karow not to take this game too
lightly.
The Bears have shown an excel
lent club at times and a poor one
at others. Their pitching and hit
ting have been consistent, but their
infield has experienced more than
one period of inability. Examples
of these can be cited in the Long
horn and Aggie contests when for
eight innings, Golden had the
Steers in the palm of his hand and
denly loosened up and let two runs
come in during the ninth inning on
three errors. Following this stimu
lant, the Longhorns went on to
win in the eleventh frame by a 5
to 2 score.
Such has been the case on nu
merous occasions, but on their good
days the infield had come through
with sterling play. Jimmy Witt,
shortstop, and Don Haley, first
baseman, have more than once sav
ed the Bruins from defeat. Witt’s
single in the twelfth frame against
the cadets drove in the winning
run, while Haley’s play in the
S. M. U. series merits the Baylor
first sacker much praise.
Today’s game is expected to be
close with Bumpers and Golden
in the best of shape. If the Bruin
infield plays the game of which
it is capable, a great contest is in
prospect.

Not only are seven members
of the Texas Aggie nine seeing
service for the last time today
but the coach, Marty Karow, is
also sitting on the sidelines for
the last time.
(Poach ^czrour
After this game Coach Karow
will take up the duties of head
basketball coach, filling the posi
tion recently vacated by Hub Mc
Quillan.
Coming to Texas A. & M. in
1938, Coach Karow was met with
a nine that was composed almost
entirely of first year varsity men.
-f- Beginning his second year as
coach of the team, he found a
wealth of material and early in the
season the team was marred by
injuries. But nevertheless the
squad won six and lost eight.
Again Texas was not to be denied
Under his capable direction, the
team came out third in the con
ference and was surpassed only
by a formidable Texas squad and
a hard driving bunch from Baylox*.
The team won eight games and
lost six.
His chief task after coming here
was rebuilding the championship
aggregation that was shattered
by graduation.
the championship and the Aggies
tied with Baylor for second place.
Developing under Karow, Bob
Williams was designated as All
Conference and the team lost a
valuable player by graduation.
Coach Karow’s 1940 squad dis
tinguished themselves by winning
seven and losing five games and
coming out second in the confer
ence standing.
At present, the Aggie nine has
won eleven games and lost only
three. The last Southwest Con
ference baseball game is being
played here today and a record
crowd is anticipated to see Coach
Karow and the seven graduating
seniors do or die for Aggieland.
Coach Karow will begin his
basketball duties in the fall.
