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

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
. . . Big John Kimbrough, former
Aggie football star, dropped around
here on his way to Houston and
had a nice “bull” session with the
gridsters and all the coaches . . .
Incidentally, Coach Norton has
been to Dallas and attended a party
given for prominent sports figures
and coaches . . . Basketball play
ers may come and go, but it’ll be
a long time before the Southwest
Conference will get a superb little
man like Dwight Parks of Baylor

tinguished list were Jennings An-

The Texas A. & M. 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.

Rallying in the final minutes of
play, the T.C.U. 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.

6:45 Bi-Weekly
Meeting Time Of
“Fat and Forty Club”
It appears that the members
of the local “Fat and Forty” club
have allowed themselves to become
confused with the system of time.
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.

The Texas Aggie cagers meet
the Southern Methodist Mustangs
tonight in Dallas at the Mustang
Field House. 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.

are:
