Aggies Meet Unpredictable Ponies This Afternoon ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Track Team in Quadrangular Meet Today Marty Karow, Navy Bound, Remembered Well For His Hustling and Fighting Aggie Teams “He played to -win.” That is about the biggest com pliment I can give Marty Karow, the fiery Aggie basketball and as sistant football coach, who left for Annapolis yesterday as a lieuten ant in the U. S. Navy. Everyone remembers the hust ling and fighting basketball team that he put out this past year. The word “quit” never entered Marty’s head—it was either win or go down fighting. And that particular axiom worked wonders with the cage team and effected one of the best basketball seasons in many a year here. His team wound up sixth in standings, but every op ponent knew that it had a fight on its hands when it faced Marty’s “never-say-die” five. The word “hustle” was synony mous with Karow’s name, both in football and basketball. His cag- ers came nearer winning by hustle than by natural ability, for behind them stood a man who would fight to the last moment. Marty, at times, was harsh with his boys for some of the mistakes they made, but everyone, down to the water boy and the manager, respected him for whatever he did. Today, Marty is coaching a far more important team—a team that concerns everyone of us. He is in the Navy, assisting the greatest coach of them all—Uncle Sam. Wherever he may be I know everyone of us wishes him the best of luck in the world, and all hope that he’ll be back at Aggieland following the termination of the war. Until then, “Keep ’em float ing, Marty!” Sports Squibs From Here and There; Navy To Get Receipts From Rice-Ag Tilt April 24 The proceeds from the A. & M.- Rice baseball game Friday, April '24, will be donated to the Navy Re lief Fund as announced by the Athletic Council . . .

College Court Coffee Shop Look For The Blue Roofs Ags Face SMU, TCU And Baylor Meet Is Slated To Start at Two (TClock on the Dot The vastly improved Texas Ag gie track team will make its first appearance since the upset defeat of Texas some two weeks ago when it takes on Baylor, SMU and TCU in a quadrangular meet at 2:00 o’clock this afternoon here. The Aggies are heavy favorites to cop the meet, but are expected to have plenty of trouble in hand ling the Baylor squad. SMU will enter a squad of only 10 men and consequently cannot be rated as a threat, while TCU will not have many more men than that on hand. Wilson Is Threat Outstanding men of the Baylor team, and a boy who is prac tically a one man gang is the Bear football ace Jack Wilson. Wilson will be entered in no less than five events in the meet which is quite an afternoon’s work for any man. He will take part in the shotput, discus throw, broad jump, javelin throw, and high jump. Labus and Vadjos of the Aggie squad are expected to meet some plenty stiff competition in the 440 yard dash in the person of Pope of SMU. This boy is the ace of the Mustang squad, and has been a consistent standout all season. Bucek In Shape Captain Roy Bucek of the Ag gies is in fine shape for the meet, and there is a distinct possibility of his lowering the conference hurdle mark this afternoon. The rest of Coach “Dough” Rollins’ team is also in top condition, and several conference records may be menaced. Ags Sweep Series From SHSTC Netmen A. & M.’s tennis players out- scored the Sam Houston College players in seven matches played here yesterday afternoon.

BATTALION SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1942 e PAGE 3 INTRAM URALS By DUB OXFORD Further proof that intramural sports give everyone a chance to participate in the same sports as do varsity players, the annual intra mural track meet will be held to morrow after- noon at 1:30 on Kyle Field. The meet will include represen- Oxford tations from both class A and class B. Class A track events and class B field events will begin at 1:30 and the class B track events will be run off at 3:30; in connection with the B events class A field events will also be run off at that time. For an organisation to receive the 50 entry points, a unit must have one or more men entered in at least three different events. The events on the program are: 100-yard dash, 110-yard low hur dles, shot put, javelin throw, broad jump, high jump, and the 440-yard shuttle relay. In the final tabulation of the re sults of class B boxing, an error was made. Reed of A Field Artil- , lery is the winner of the 169 pound class instead of Hogan. This new “winner changes the following places: Headquarters Cavalry is still first but the order of winners is D Field Artillery, second; 3 Hq. Field Artillery, third; and B Coast is among a tie concerning L In fantry, D Engineers, and H Coast Artillery for fourth place. The place of the remaining winners is the same. Time Change In order to make the intramural schedules coincide with the new time plan, it will be necessary to subtract one hour from the game times on all game schedules. Slips received for contests scheduled aft er April 12 will show the correct playing time. If there is any doubt as to the correct playing time, call the intramural office. Lil Dimmitt Nominated For Presidency of NAT A Lil Dimmitt, head baseball coach and trainer at Texas A&M College, may add some more chores to his many other duties if the members of the National Athletic Trainers Association mark their ballots in his favor at the annual election to be held in Des Moines, Iowa, April 24-25 in connection with the Drake Relays in that City. Receives Notice Lil received notice this week that he has been one of the train ers nominated for the presidency and also that his name will ap pear on the ballot for a trustee ship of the organization. He will be opposed by Wilbur Bohm, Wash ington State College, and Frank Wiechec, Temple University, for the presideny. Long known in athletic circles as a trainer and coach in high schools and college, Dimmitt re cently turned writer and has had several articles on training prac tices appearing in magazines ^f the training profession. The past two issues of TRAINER’S JOUR NAL have given considerable space to his articles and pictures, with the current issue carrying his pic ture in his training room as the front cover. Not First Time The coming election will not be the first time in his life that Lil has been interested in the outcome of an election for he was mayor of Georgetown, Texas, before he entered the coaching and training profession in which he now is a recognized authority. The Parade of the Water Ducks! Water Carnival Finale to beHeld At Downs Natatorium Tonight By Dub Oxford Polished by two night’s perform ances, the final staging of the sixth annual water carnival will be held tonight in P. L. Downs, Jr., Natatorium. The miniature aqua cade is sponsored by the Texas A. & M. water polo team, and the proceeds of the affair go to help the water polo players make, their varied trips during the water polo playing season. * Team Captain Captain of the water polo team and having a big hand in the pro duction of the carnival is Ernie Conway. Conway is from Dallas and is recently married. Expressions of the corps follow ing the two renditions by the mem bers of the water show, were very favorable. In the words of the Ag gies themselves, “It’s super!” Program director Art Adamson, Aggie swimming coach, promises tonight’s show to be better than ever with the added attraction of imported stars U.

Douglas, Jr. INSURANCE AGENCY Rooms 18-20, Commerce Bldg. Bryan, Texas Ph. 2-6605 AUSTIN, April 17.—Breaking loose for five runs in the ninth inning, the Texas Yearlings de feated the Aggie Fish, 6-5, at Aus tin yesterday afternoon, to even the series between the two teams. The Fish trimmed the Shorthorns by the same score some three weeks ago. Going into the ninth with a 5-1 lead, big Lee Forrest, ace Fish twirler seemingly had Texas eat ing out of his hands. However, the Yearlings started connecting and coupled with Aggie miscues drove over enough tallies to. sack up the game. With the score tied at 5-5, Andrews slashed a double to send in the winning run. The Aggies outhit the Texas freshmen 15-t2, but couldn’t hit in the clutches. Bill Selman/ stocky Fish receiver, led the Ags’ offen sive with three blows, including a ringing triple. Forrest struck out eight Yearlings and was never in trouble until that fateful ninth frame. Rifle Team To Take Part In Tex State Matches A ten-man squad of the Texas Aggie Rifle team journeyed to Dallas Friday to take part in the Texas State Championship Rifle Matches which will take place in that city today and Sun day. Teams from all parts of the state are entered in these matches, which will be shot outdoors at the medium range of 50 yards, 50 met ers and 100 yards. Many of the men have never shot at these ranges and are look ing forward to receiving assistance from R. T. Cook, the Camp Perry veteran on the team, who is mak- (See RIFLE TEAM, Page 4) . Game Is Set to Go Off At Three 0’CIock Sharp Chas Stevenson, Ace Ag Hurler, To Face Atwell Tessman, S M U’s Tough Chunker This afternoon at 3:00 o’clock on Kyle Field the Texas Aggie baseball team engages the outfit which is fast be coming known as the giant killers of the Southwest Con ference loop, namely the S.M.U. Mustangs. Charlie Stevenson, ace Aggie hurler will be on the mound for A. & M. and his opponent will probably be Atwell Tessman, most consistent of the Mustang pitchers. At the outset of the season the'f ‘—■ Ponies were rated as one of the weaker teams of the circuit, and most of the pre-season dope favor ed them to give someone a tough battle for the cellar. But in the two game series played earlier in the season with both the league leading Aggies and the favored Texas Longhorns, the Mustangs annexed a game from each of the so-called strong teams on the con ference race. Upset Rice Last Thursday in Houston, the Ponies continued their policy of upsetting the predictions by hand ing the surprised Rice Owls a 9-6 shellacking. Sparkplug of the Mus tang attack last Thursday was centerfielder Cliff Hagerman, a dang-erous man ^t the late, as his three hits out of four trips to the bat will attest to. Another boy who contributes much to the potent Pony batting attack is Agel “Fvito” Gonzales, Mustang football ace. At third base the Dallasites have a boy who is rated as. one of the best men in Southwest Conference history to hold down the hot corner, namely Johnny Sebeck. Coupled with his at times sensational fielding, Se beck gives opposing hurlers plenty 4 SERGE SHIRTS Come in while they last!

Aggies Stronger The Aggies have been looking better the past weeks, and in their game Wednesday with ■ Ellington Field did much to remove one of Coach Lil Dimmitt’s chief worries concerning the hitting department, Scoggins, Rogers, Peden, and Dan iels all seem to have found their batting eye in fine style, and are expected to lead the Aggies attack this afternoon. The Aggies are in first place in the conference at the present time, with five wins against two losses. One of these losses was to the Mustangs, and today’s contest will mark the rubber game of the series. \ IN MEN'S SHOES A Step^to Distinction Both the shoes and you.
