“A Job Well Done”—A Final Tribute To
The SWC Baseball Champs — The Aggies
It was a happy bunch of kids
that left Austin Saturday night
for these same boys had just tuck
ed away the conference baseball
crown and at the expense—of all
teams—Texas university. And they
did it like champions, too! With
all the breaks pointing the other
way and playing on the most
“jinxed” spot on earth, the fight
ing Aggies, spurred on by their
great coach, Lil Dimmitt, cleared
every hurdle to win the crown in
the style of a real champ.
And when you start dishing out
the compliments and orchids don’t
pour it all on one man but give
a pat on the back to every last
one of the players—from Jimmy
Montgomery, the manager, to Cap
tain John Scoggin, one of the
greatest baseball stars ever to don
an Aggie uniform. Yes, everyone
did his bit in bringing the Ag
gies’ the first baseball crown since
1937. It was a well-oiled nine-man
machine that had the job done.
Cullen Rogers, Leo Daniels, and
Charlie Stevenson combined ef
forts during the first day, while
John Scoggin, Sam Porter, Smoky
Carden, and Les Peden contributed
greatly the following day. And the
play of Cecil Ballow and Ira Glass
at the keystone sack made many
a young Texas co-ed marvel. Jim
my Newberry also comes in for
plenty of prgise for his grand ex
hibition both days. He batted in
the first run in Friday’s game, and
played an all-around great tilt the
following day.
Speaking of Smokey Carden,
there’s a pitcher that will make
you stand up next year. He had
all the earmarks of a great hurl-
er this year but a bit of sopho
more -jitters kept him from stand
ing out. However, Saturday,
Smokey certainly did have that
fast one of his working, and, but
for a couple of potential sluggers
—Grady Hatton and Jack Stone—
would have probably scored a
shutout. He pitched a wonderful
game and is deservant of all the
credit one can dish out to him.
Another unheralded boy who has
worked as hard as any of the
players is Jimmy (Frog) Mont
gomery, the manager of the team.
Throughout the campaign, Jim has
been constantly with the team,
working without complaining or
asking for quarter. His great and
loyal spirit has oftentimes boosted
the team’s morale and everyone
has enjoyed his presence.

to carry off the conference meet
held at Ownby Stadium in Dallas.
The Longhorns won only three
first places and tied for another,
but they piled up 5714 points
against the Aggies’ second place
total of 4814. Rice, though win
ning six events, finished third with
4414 points.
Lanky Albert Ricks made 10
of the Aggies’ points by tying for
firsts in the high jump and pole
vault and taking third in the broad
jump. However, sophomore Bill
Cummins of Rice was high-point
man of the meet with a total of
14.
Injuries again hindered the Ag
gies, as Derace Moser, sprinter
and relay man, pulled a muscle in
the preliminaries and was unable
to run Saturday.
Joe Vajdos provided the most
thrilling surprise of the meet by
defeating Mac Unstattd of Texas,
the conference record holder, in
the 880-yard run. Unstattd, after
building up a good lead in the first
lap, wilted on the home stretch as
Vajdos put on a brilliant finish to
win by three yards.
Roy Bucek lost the high hurdles
race to Cummins by a scant six
inches, but won the low hurdles
by about a yard.

land. For last Saturday afternoon
over at Austin the slashing power
of the Cadet batsmen were not to
be denied, and they blasted their
way to a 5-4 decision over the
Texas Longhorns to annex their
first baseball flag since 1937.
Captain John Scoggin closed his
college baseball career in a blaze
of glory when he stepped into the
pitcher’s box in the eighth inning
with two Longhorns on base and
one out, and forced Pierce to hit
into a fast double play which re
tired the side. In the last half of
the ninth only three batters faced
John, each one retiring via the
strikeout route.
J. B. “Smokey” Carden handled
the pitching chores for the first
seven innings to gain credit for
the win, and retired in the eighth
in favor of Scoggin.
The Aggies got off to a fast
start in the first inning when
Cullen Rogers walked and Ira
Glass singled. Then big Sam
Porter stepped up and hit a home
run over the right field fence to
send three Aggie runs across the
plate.
The Longhorns came back in
their half of the same inning to
score two runs. The game then
settled down to a pitching duel
between Carden and the Texas ace,
Bill Dumke. In the sixth inning
the Aggies added another run,
but the Longhorns came back with
two markers in their half to tie up
the score at 4-4.
In the eighth inning with the
bases loaded Dumke hit Les Peden
with a pitched ball to force in
Rogers with the winning run for
the Aggies.
