As Mr. Penny stated in his col-
lumn last Tuesday, school is not
all studies. And if yon want a
chance to better yourself and serve
your school, I know of no better
way than to become a sophomore
intramural manager.
Don’t forget, Tuesday, May 5, at
7:30 is the hour of the important
meeting. At this meeting, Mr.
Penny will explain the workings
of the system and the awards giv
en for the work as a sophomore
manager.
Class A Baseball
Playing to win, H Coast Artil
lery beat F Engineers 2 to 1 in
a tightly pitched baseball match
on the side of the Coast Artillery.
F Field and their pseudo arch
enemy, I Field, played a wallop
ing baseball game to beat the I
battery boys 12-11. Making a rally
in the fourth inning, A Coast beat
2 CHQ 9-4. C Infantry and B
C.W.S. played a fast ball game,
too. But the paddlefeet were just
faster on their feet and won the
game 7-6.
Odds ’n Ends
Perhaps I was singing too loud
ly when I stated water sports were
on the increase in participation . . .
Look at the DOG HOUSE today

ant intramural director, is now at
an induction center near San An

marching on a six-mile hike three
times a week, they still find time
to play a little softball and volley
ball . . . From now on, nearly ev
ery other day, a final game will
be played.

More Dope on that Screwy 26-0 Score!
Record Books Show That Ags
Scored Largest Shutout in ’42
Anytime a “box-car” score
shows up in any kind of a sports
event it always raises the ques
tion about whether or not that
particular score is a record.
Last week the Texas Aggie base
ball team slaughtered the Rice
Owls by the score of 26-0 but the
outcome did not set a new record
for runs scored by an Aggie base
ball team. Defeat of S. M. U. 32-7
in 1936 is the mark.
Records Kept in ’94
According to the record books
kept by the A&M College Athletic
Department, the game was first
played as a recognized intercol
legiate sport in 1894, the same
year football got started, and that
year the Aggies won three of the
four played with a 16-1 score over
Navasota the largest.
There' are no more games record
ed until 1904 and then the first
Texas Longhom-Texas Aggie
game shows up with a score of
8-4 for Texas. Wirt Spencer was
the coach and H. E. Hanna, cap
tain. In 1905, says the record book,
the Aggie won the State Champ
ionship. Hanna again was captain.
Beat Trinity, 23-0
It was not until 1912 that the
first “war debt” score showed up
in the book, which relates that
the Aggies defeated Trinity Uni
versity, 23-0. Charley Moran was
coach and Dutch Hohn the cap
tain.
In 1920 the Aggies defeated
Texas, 20-8 for the next score in
the twenty block. In 1924 the Ag
gies downed Rice, 25-9 for another
lopsider and lost that same year
to Texas, 1-18 for the first big
losing score up to that time. Texas
also took them 15-1, 3-1 and 4-3
that same year.-
Nightmare Year
The year of 1936 was a night
mare for, the official scorekeepers
for that was the year that the Ag
gies really broke loose in a big
scoring yvay. Tops was the 32-7
victory over S.M.U. in the first
of three games and was followed
by a 28-3 win in the final game.
The other game ended 10-3 for
A&M. Rice was defeated 21-2 and
18-3 and 6-4 in that order. Texas
Christian took a licking to the tune
of 19-6 but got revenge by winning
from A&M, 12-9 and 11-5. The
Baylor series came out 13-11, 3-7
and 11-11 tie while Texas and the
Aggies played the most sensible
games of the year with scores
of 3-4, 5-4 and 5-6. The Aggies al
so took 10-4 and 17-1 licking from
the Beaumont, Texas League club
that year. In all, the Aggies play
ed 23 games that year and scored
223 runs to the opponent’s 162 or
a total of 385 runs for one season.
The Aggies did not win the cham
pionship even with those wild
scores.
In 1940 Texas raised the largest
licking record with a score of 19-
6 bettering the 1920 top of 18-1.
Largest Shutout
So, for the fans who want ar
guments settled, the largest shut
out ever scored by an Aggie team
WAS the 1942 Rice-Aggie game
of last week with its 26-0 score.
The largest victory was 32-7 over
S.M.U. in 1936 and the worst Ag
gie defeat was the 19-6 loss to
Texas in 1940. The largest total
runs score was in 1936 with the
Seventh Annual High School Swim
Meet to be Held at Natatorium May 2
Sponsored by the Texas A. & M.
college athletic council, the sev
enth annual high school swim meet
will be held Saturday, May 2, in
P. L. Downs Jr. natatorium.
Preliminaries
The preliminary heats will be
run off at 2:30 and the finals will
be held at 7:30. The entire meet is
under the direction of Aggie swim
ming coach Art Adamson and he
has indicated that medals will be
awarded, by the athletic council to
the first, second and third place
winners, including the relays. A
trophy will be presented to the

rules of the national scholastic
council and any records made will
be accepted into the record books
of the council. As has been the
precedent, no admission will be
charged.
With the large group of swim
mers entering, there is a good
chance of many of the existing
records falling and many near rec
ords will be tabulated.

Aggies leading 223 to 162. Also,
to answer a question before it is
asked—the Texas Aggies never
have had an undefeated baseball
season, even in 1931, 1934 and
1937 when they won the conference
championship.
Pulls Muscle
Star Cadet Hurdler Out
With Pulled Muscle Injury
Hurt Leg Expected to Heal Before
Conference Meet At Dallas May 8 and 9
Bad news for the Texas Aggie track fans came back
home with the ten-man team which took part in the Drake
Relays last Saturday, when it was revealed that Captain
Roy Bucek, ace hurdler and relay performer, had pulled a
muscle in his leg in the 120-high hurdles event at Des
Moines, la.
Coach “Dough” Rollins says that"
he may have to scratch Bucek
from the Little Conference meet
at Houston this week and try to
have him back in shape to defend
his championships in the South
west Conference meet at Dallas,
May 7-8.
With Bucek T>ut of the hurdles
and 440 relay, several Aggie
points will be lost as he was al
most a certainty to win both the
120 and 220-yard hurdles and car
ry his sprint relay team to a
placing for more points.
Bucek hurt his leg at the third
hurdle but kept going and led as
he went over the final hurdle.
About five yards from the tape
the muscle tightened up and he
staggered across the line in third
place in the event he had won up
to the finish.
He did not complain about the
injury and ran the anchor on the
winning shuttle hurdle relay team
and then ran a leg on the sprint
relay team. After the meet the
leg stiffened and he was hardly
able to walk when the train car
rying the team arrived back here
Monday.
Examination showed the injury
not to be too severe and it is hop
ed that it will respond to the
treatment it is being given.
