Aggie Nine Clashes With Baylor on Kyle Field Today
J£l
By (Hike Haikin
Battalion Sports Editor
Baseball, Track Meet and Boxing Finals
Are Highlight of Today’s Sports on Kyle Field
This afternoon and tonight, Kyle Field will have a busy
workout as far as Aggie sports are concerned and the vari
ous sports fans and Coast Artillery patrons and visitors will
be afforded an enjoyable day and evening.
First on the menu is the triang
ular track meet 1 between Coach
Dough Rollins’ sensational Fish
track team, the North Texas State
Teachers and John Tarleton. The
affair is slated to go off on the
dot at 2 p. m.
Not too much has been "said
about the first-year thinly clads,
but you have to go out and watch
them for yourself to judge how
good they really are. Those kids
can certainly run as you will prob
ably note this afternoon. In their
two previous meets—the Fort
Worth Exposition and the Texas
Relays—they were so far ahead
of their class that it was almost
pitiful. Why, they beat the Varsity
team negularly in the relay and
other events, and, as you know,
that’s the same team that defeated
Texas for the first time in eleven
years. So come on out today and
watch what may be the future
conference track champions!
Following the track meet at 3:30
will be the baseball game be
tween the Baylor Bears and the
Texas Aggies. Each is striving
hard to stay in the running for
the conference flag and the out
come of today’s tilt will tell the
tale. In their series at Waco, Bay
lor downed the Ags in one of the
games and Coach Lil Dimmitt’s
boys will be seeking revenge.
In their past four games, the
Cadets certainly had their hitting
clothes on as clearly indicated by
their 59 hits and 49 runs, an aver
age of 12 runs and 15 hits per
game.
Cullen Rogers’ rise in his bat
ting average has been the bright
est spot of the team. Not hitting
a lick in his first few games,
Rogers has suddenly spurted on
a slugging spree that brought his
average to a respectable .286, and
he is still climbing. The boy has
finally fixed his eye on the ball,
and each pill he’s hit has traveled
quite a distance.
Last but far from least on the
sports menu is the boxing finals
to be held at the DeWare Field
House tonight at 8 o’clock. The
boys you see there are about the
best pugilists at A. & M., and
some of them may turn out to be
pros. Feature of the attraction
will be the heavyweight match be
tween Bill Henderson, the four
sports Aggie athletic letterman,
and A1 Aikman.
So make your plans now to at
tend all three of the fine events
today! Each will afford you a thrill
and give you a most enjoyable
evening.
Sports Squibs From Here and There; Leo

of quitting baseball to give his in
jured shoulder a rest will be in
the starting lineup this afternoon.

his doctor to rest his shoulder, but
until then he will be out there

Fish Tracksters Face NT AC And
T arleton in T riangular Meet! oday
First FreShman
Home Meet of Year
Starts at Two PM
By Russell Chatham
^ Coach Dough Rollins will turn
loose his mighty Fish track team
against the John Tarleton Plow-
boys and the North Texas Aggies
at two o’clock this afternoon on
Kyle Field. This is the only sched
uled appearance before the home-
folks that the freshmen have this
season. It promises to be a good
one.
NTAC Has Strong Team
The North Texas Aggies are led
by Shannon, who has cleared six
feet in the high jump, and over
21 feet in the broad jump. Kennedy
is their mainstay in the dashes.
The NTAC team won second in
the junior college division of the
.Fort Worth Exposition track meet,
being beaten for first by Schrein
er Institute.
Not much is known here of the
strength of the Tarleton track
sters, but they usually have a
strong team. They did not compete
in the Fort Worth meet.
Strong Fish Team
This year’s freshman team is
ohe of the strongest squads in his
tory of A. & M. They completely
dominated the freshman division
of the Exposition meet in Fort
Worth—winning six first places,
and a host of second, third, and
fourth places. Well balanced, they
have power in every event.
In the Texas Relays at Austin,
the Fish mile relay team com
posed of “Blondy” Harnden, “Red”
Battin, Don Frye, and Larry Wolf,
covered the four laps in the ex
cellent time of 3 minutes 21.2 sec
onds.
Fast Relay Team
Wolf and Frye team up with
Kennemer and Anderson to give
one of the fastest 440-yard relay
combinations in this section of the
country. In an exhibition earlier
this season, they were timed at
42.9 seconds for the distance.
The Fish have consistently de
feated the Aggie Varsity relay
teams when they have competed
against each other.
Kennemer, Power, Wolf, and
Anderson take care of the dashes
for the fdeshmen; Kennemer, Pow
er, and Scott in the hurdles; Frye
and Harnden the 440; Winn the
880; Compton, Smolik, and Martin
in the jumps; and Stout and And
erson handle the weights events.
High School Swim
Meet to be Held At
Natatorium May 2
The annual Texas high school
swimming meet will be held in the
P. L. Downs, Jr., swimming pool
Saturday, May 2, according to an
announcement made here by Coach
Art A'damson, Aggie swimming
mentor and member of the AAU
committee on swimming.
Entries are expected from sev
eral high schools in Fort Worth,
Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio
and also from Waco, El Paso, Gal
veston, Beaumont and Bryan. Each
year, the meet, which is sponsored
by the A. & M. Athletic Council,
has attracted more entries and in
some cases the high school boys
have turned in time rivaling that
of college competition.

Class A and B ’Mural Boxing
Champs to be Crowned Tonight
By Dub Oxford
The finals in both class A and
class B intramural boxing will be
held tonight at 7:30 climaxing a
successful five week program.
These finals will be one of the
highlights on the program of the
Former Students convention which
is being held here this week end.
Several times during interval the
Former Students met in Aggieland
in the spring, these programs have
been put on to show what the stu
dents are doing in the line of in
tramurals. The Exes have not met
at Aggieland in the spring for the
past three years and this year is
the first time the Former Students
will have a chance to hack into
student life.
Incept^pn
Intramural boxing had its in
ception at Aggieland 16 years ago
when W. L. Penberthy came to the
campus as intramural dii^ctor 1 .
Originally the boxers fought two
two-minute rounds, and one three-
minute round. That was modified
and the boxers fought three two-
minute rounds and two minutes
rest between rounds. Since 1939,
all intramural boxers have fought
three one-minute rounds with one
minute’s rest between rounds.
Popular Sport
Intramural boxing has always
been a popular sport both from
the standpoint of the spectator and
the participants.
Boxing is a sport which gives
the Aggies a great deal of fun
and to prove they like it, some 300
men were entered in intramural
boxing.
Lee Forrest Stars
As Aggie Fish Down
Baylor Cubs, 18-0
Hurler Allows But Three
Hits and Strikes Out 16
. As Freshmen Defeat Cubs
WACO, April 10.—Sparked by
the brilliant three-hit hurling of
Lee Forrest, Coach Bill Buchan
an’s Aggie Fish slaughtered the
Baylor Cubs, 18-0, in a hectic tilt
yesterday afternoon at Waco.
This marked the third consecu
tive victory for the first year man
and all have been accounted for
through the consistant work of
Forrest. Yesterday, he was never
better as he struck out sixteen men
in nine innings of play.
Meawhile, the Cadet freshmen
jumped all over the offerings of
Cub pitchers White and Woodfin
from the start. They continued
their assault throughout the game,
getting thirteen blows in all. Bay-
loy errors aided considerably in
the’scoring, with the Cub outfield
ers accounting for five of the mis-
c'ues.
Fowler, with a triple and a sin
gle in three times at bat, led the
Fish attack. Forrest got almost
perfect support afield, with the
Cadets making only two errors.
Buchanan used. 17 men in order
to keep the score down, but his
efforts were to no avail as the
Fish had their hitting clothes on
for the day.
Marty Karow Drills Cagers
Each Day in Prep for ’42-43
Next basketball season is a long
way off but every afternoon Coach
Marty Karow is giving his JPexas
Aggie squad a long workout in
preparation for the 1942-43 cam
paign.
‘ Prospects Bright
Prospects fox next season look
bright since the freshman and in
eligible teams have contributed
some men who have shown they
can hit the basket.
Gone will be Capt. Bill Hender
son, Forwards Ray Jarrett and
Fred Nabors, but replacements on
hand look like they will be able
to fill the gaps.
Good News
Another ray of sunshine appear
ed on Coach Karow’^ face when
he received a letter this week that
Tommy Hudgens, Lufkin high
school All-State performer last
year, will enter Texas A. & M.
next year. Hudgens also doubles
in football as an end and should
be a valuable addition to both
teams.
Supervision
The matches are supervised by
the staff of the P.E. department
with all of the staff members act
ing as referees. The boxing judges
are students entered in boxing or
men well acquainted with the
sport. The matches are held in a
regulation size ring which con-,
forms with A.A.U. standards.
To make sure a man doesn’t en
ter boxing physically unfit, before
any entrant signs up, he either
has to get the college physician’s
permission or either have had a
recent physical exam. Such rou
tine questions as, “has the entrant
been sick lately?” are also asked.
All in all, intramural boxing is a
healthful relaxation and also gives
a boy courage in himself.
The following bouts with their
time and weight are listed below.

INTRAMDRALS
By
DUB OXFORD
This is going to be straight from
the shoulder and to the point. At
the boxing semi-finals held Thurs
day night, the whole gallery
“booed” a winner who fought
cleanly and very decisively won
his match. It takes lots of courage
to get in a ring in the first place
and it takes more courage to win
a fight and be “booed.”
This winner, in my estimation
had the “guts” to get in the ring
and fight whereas ninety percent
of the crowd didn’t. It is not Aggie
to “boo,” much less to “boo” one
of our own kind. If you come down
to the gym to see the fights, come
with the idea of seeing a good
match and having a good time. If
the energy wasted “booing” was
put to use praising the fighters,
the whole program would go off
better.
If you are going to “Boo,” stay
away from the boxing matches,
and don’t forget this thought:
THERE ARE THOSE WHO CAN
AND THOSE WHO CAN’T.
Good Pitcher
C. B. “Cheezy” Marsh, senior in
C Battery Coast Artillery has held
down the pitching job for his or
ganization almost constantly. And
he has an enviable record. In the
last three games lie has pitched,
he has given only six hits. He also
pitched a no hit-no rim game when

Stevenson
Seeks Fifth
Win of Year
Garcia or Wafer
To Pitch for Bears;
Game Time Is 3:30
Following a week of inactivity,
Coach Lil Dimmitt’s baseball nine
finally swings into action this
afternoon when the Aggies play
hosts to the Baylor Bears on Kyle
Field in a one game stand.
• Stevenson Seeks Fifth Win
Charlie Stevenson, rotund hurl-
er for the Cadets who has already
copped four games, will be vieing
for his fifth victory of the year.
He has already hurled against the
Bears, shutting them out 2-0 in a
4-hit affair earlier this season at
Waco. His other victories include
a. 4-1 whi. over Texas, 19-5 tri
umph over S. M. U., and a 12-6.
win over T. C. U.
Manuel Garcia, early victor over
the Aggies, or Howard Wafer, will
be Coach Jim Crowe’s choice to
face the hard-hitting Cadets. Gar
cia has been the most effective
Bear chunker in their recent games
and probably will get the nod this
afternoon.
Ags Get Workout
The Aggies, stymied by the
weather most of the week, final
ly got in some valuable work
Thursday and Friday afternoons.
Batting practice was especially
emphasized with Sam Porter, Cul
len Rogers and John Scoggin slap
ping the ball all over the field.
The game is slated to start at
3:30 in order. that the fans may
get to see most of the track meet
which will come off at 2.
Starting Lineup
Probable starting lineup for the
Ags include Ballow, ss; Rogers, If;
Gla^s, 2b; Scoggin, c; Porter, lb;
Peden, 3b; Stevenson, p; Daniels,
