a ■* * * * r* ; •> * r * * v * Aggies Meet Mustangs at Dallas Tonight Orchids to Coach Art Adamson’s Swimming Team; Long Time Jinx Falls Before Tankers Congrats to Coach Art Adamson and his bunchof hus tling swimmers who broke one of the longest standing jinxes in the history of A. & M. when they outswam and outmaneu- vered Coach Tex Robertson’s tankers, 55-38 at Austin, Sat urday. This marked the first time since swimming has been considered an inter-collegiate sport that the Aggies have defeated the Longhorns. This did not apply only down Aus tin way, but the swimmers of Aggieland couldn’t budge the Steer tankers even up at P. L. Downs Natatorium. Last year, at the conference always has managed to produce Rifle Team Has Record of Eight Won And Four Lost; Meet TSCW This W eekend T Ponies Are Out For Revenge In bnight’s Game meet, Coach Adamson’s aquamen came as close to beating Texas as they have come in the past 10 years. It was a close race between the two arch rivals with Tex Rob ertson’s boys finally edging out a 77-70 win. Even in that defeaf, the Aggies did not go undaunted. They annexed 7 out of 10 first places, but lost out in the second, third, fourth place, etc. For years and years, swimming meets were continually dominated by Texas and A. & M., and this year seems to be no different. The primary difference between the Aggie and Longhorn teams has been in the individual stars. For the Aggies, Coach Art Adamson one or two exceptional swimmers, and these have been instrumental in piling up the necessary points. However, Coach Tex Robertson of Texas, although he seldom had one individual star, usually had a team of five or six fair swimmers who managed to grab the second, third, fourth, or fifth places, and that’s where you make your points. That particular axiom worked for,a long time, but the gallant swimmers of Aggieland shattered the first of a number of jinxes that will fall by the wayside when the time comes. Our hearty con gratulations go to them! May other Aggie athletic teams follow the leader. (Gridsters! Take notice.) Sports Squibs From Here and There; John Kimbrough Drops Around Kyle Field Mon . . .

Rifle team-f will play hosts to the Rifle Team of T.S.C.W. this week-end when the girls from the sister school journey to Aggieland to meet the Aggie sharpshooters. Last year when the Aggie squad journeyed to Denton to meet the T.S.C.W. “An nie Oakleys” the Cadets went down in defeat. The Aggie team recently fired against the N.T.A.C. group at Arlington, Texas. An interesting sidelight of this match was the fact that four members of the Aggie team are former N.T.A.C. riflemen. The Cadets were vic torious in this match with a score of 1873 points, against 1818 points for N.T.A.C. Bill Filgo, captain of the Aggie team, was captain-elect o fthe N.T.A.C. team for 1940. The Cadet riflemen fire nlatches with teams throughout the country by means of mail matches. These matches are better known as postal matches. Each team fires in its home range in regulation form and the scores are exchanged with other teams by mail. Recently the Aggies fired against Niagara University, Kan sas State College, University of Minnesota and University of Cin cinnati. The Cadet varsity team lost to all of these schools by nar row margins but the Fish, team defeated the four teams. The Rifle Team fired against the University of California and mmmm- First row, left to right: R. Kaufman, R. Cook, C. C. Maceiras, G. B. Caperton, Bill Filgo (Captain), S. B. Dixon, L. L.

Horned Frogs de feated Coach Marty Karow’s Tex as Aggies, 34-27 at Fort Worth Tuesday night. The victory assured Coach McQuillan’s purple-clad five a .500 standing for the conference season, easily the best record for a Christian team since 1934. Tuesday’s game was grossly similar to last Saturday’s tilt here when the Aggies clipped the Frogs by a 33-27 count. Both teams were far off their shooting, that being the reason for the low-score game. In the first half alone, the two clubs took sixty-two cracks at the hoop, and made exactly ten. This was almost duplicated during the second half, many shots missing the backboard by a wide margin. The Frogs took a short lead as the game opened and clung to it throughout the half, which ended 13-12. However, the Aggies started hitting the meshes as the second stanza opened and soon built up a lead of 19-15. That was short lived, however, as the Frogs tied it at 20-29 with but nine minutes to play. From there on the lead changed hands intermittently un til finally T.C.U. grabbed a 29-26 lead with two minutes to go. The Christians slipped in a couple of field goals to lead 32-27. With sec onds to go, Pelto took a long pass in from the side line and scored the final two points. Henderson, with 8 points was high man for the Cadets. A. & M.— Bayer, f Jarrett, f Underwood, f ...

At least this is the conclusion of the few attending members who are in evidence at their bi-weekly meetings. The absentee members are reminded that the meeting time is 6:45 p. m. (Central War time) at the little gym. With the existing national emergency there is more reason than ever for the members to be ever-mindful of that constantly expanding waistline. The club is going to discuss new sports and outdoor locations to be inaugurated with the coming of spring. sible 400 points): Varsity Bill Filgo 375.3 J. H. Crossland 371.6 R. T. Cook 374.6 G. B.

The Cadets defeated the Ponies in the DeWare Field House last Friday night by a score of 47-29. Johnny Sedbeck, captain and ace of the Mustang squad, was ex pected to do great things against the Aggies last week but was held to a lone point due to the stellar work of Mike Cokinos, dimunitive Aggie guard. The Mustangs have yet to win their first conference basketball game while the Aggies have won but two games in the cage race. Tom Tomlinson, rangy Mustang center, has been the sparkplug of the S. M. U. attacks. He led the scorers against the Cadets last week with 17 tallies. Bill Henderson, R. B. Bayer, Mike Cokinos, Ray Jarrett and Fred Nabors have been bringing home the bacon for the Cadets. The probable starting lineups are: Aggies Pos.

Milk Nudine Princess De Kol, a Hol stein cow owned by A. & M., is the 535th Holstein to produce more than 100,000 pounds of milk. In eight lactations this cow pro duced a total of 104,919 pounds of milk containing 3,334 pounds of butterfat. Her highest single lac tation record was 16,748 pounds of milk made on three milkings daily beginning at the age of 8 years. Nudine produced enough milk to fill 4,850 10-quart pails to over flowing. In addition to her out standing production achievements, this cow has been officially classi fied “Good” in type. Her records were made under the supervision of the Holstein- Friesian Association of America, Brattleboro, Vermont.
