FEIDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 9, 1945 THE BATTALION PAGE 3 Scoring Record Chalked Up As Texas Tops Aggie Gagers Diminutive Don Wooten Scores 25 Points To Spark 87-59 Steer Win Maroon and White Leave for North Texas Today for Return Games With Frogs, Ponies Paced by Don Wooten, T. U. basket artist, the Longhorn five, composed of seven naval students and several medical discharges from the armed forces, rolled over a hard-scrapping Aggie quintet with a final 87-59 score here in DeWare Field House Tuesday night. Although the results of this meet do not have any effect on the conference standings, since the Longhorns have won but two games this season, it did decide which would rate fourth place in the conference. This defeat drops the Aggies into fifth place, with but one win—over the Baylor Bears earlier in the season. High-point man for the Long horns was Wooten with twenty- five, while Cleary was runner-up K. & E. SLIDE RULES Nationally Sold at $16.00 at LOU’S only $14.50 K. & E.

BROWN, Pastor A Cordial Invitation is Extended to All Who Desire to Attend Our Services Varsity Baseball Practice To Begin Monday Afternoon “Pete” Jones, Former Baylor Bear Great, To Tutor Aggie Nine All Aggies who wish to try out for the varsity baseball team are requested to attend a meeting called for 5:15 p. m., Monday, Feb. 12 in the gymnasium at Kyle Field. The coaches are anxious to get a line on boys in school who have had high school or other experi ence. However, chances of making the team are open to all hoys re gardless of whether or not they have ever had a baseball or bat in their hands. Boys intending coming out for baseball who may be in the vicinity of the athletic office before the time for the first baseball meeting are urged to contact the coaches and tell what they think they can do, as this will shorten assem bling of such information next Monday afternoon. The Texas Aggies, Texas Long horns and Rice Owls have been keeping baseball competition alive the past two years. SMU^md TCU also will play this spring. A full schedule will be made, with service and industrial teams filling in. The Aggies last won the Con ference baseball crown in 1942, hut finished in a tie with Texas for top honors in 1943. for the teasippers with fourteen. The Aggies, with “Hub” Ellis, six foot Aggie forward from Kil gore, and Bill McCormick, colorful and deceptive Aggie guard former ly of Adamson High, Dallas, gave the teasippers a terrific fight dur ing the first period; grabbing the lead several times, only to see their hopes dim as Wooten went on a scoring spree for the Longhorns late in the second period. The Ag gies, further hampered by loss of one of their sparkplugs, Hub Ellis, shortly after the outset of the third period, played iron man ball against a fresh Longhorn lineup substitut ed for the starting lineup midway of the third quarter. Weinbaum was high for the Ag gies with nineteen, while Goad and White were second with ten each. Coach Manning Smith held a brief workout yesterday before taking his fighting Aggie five to Dallas where the maroon and white will meet the S.M.U. Mustangs at 8 p.m. Friday night. From S.M.U., Coach Smith will leave for Fort Worth where the Aggies will meet the T.C.U. Horned Frogs on Sat urday night.

Kurt Hartmann, Pastor r : ■ Aggie Tankers Practicing Daily For, First Swim Meet In Last Of March INTRAMURALS By R. L. Bynes It is hoped that the intramurals this semester will be of even great er success than last semester’s fine results. There will be a meet ing of the athletic officers some time this week to select the approx imate dates for the intramurals, and it is hoped that we will have as large an intramural program this nexf semester as we possibly can. But remember this old army, the only way that we can obtain the most outstanding results as far as the intramural department is concerned is for each outfit to try their hardest to obtain the best team possible and also to see that as many men show up in support of their team as possible. It not only looks good, but also it makes the team play much harder if they fell they have someone to back them up. The sports events will probably be run in pairs this semester, with the events scheduled, Horseshoe Pitching, Volleyball, Tennis, Soft- ball, and possibly Basketball. Sep arate events are the Swimming and Track meets which will be held about the last of April or the first of May. If enough par ticipants turn out, handball will also be included in the list of events. Although they will not be back this next semester, congratula tions at this time to Dick Hembree, Charley Midgley, and Lon Huber. Returning referee’s who rendered invaluable assistance to the in tramural department last semes ter and who are expected to be of great assistance to Mr. Penberthy this semester are, Hilton (Goose) Hall, Ambrose Lyth, Wallace Beck, Jay Williams, Bill Davis, athletic officer of the college champs (F Company) last semester, and “Red” Barry, athletic officer of E Troop last semester. With a few returning lettermen from last year’s Southwest Confer ence co-championship swimming team Coach Adamson’s Aggie tank ers have started practice in prep aration for the forthcoming South west Conference swimming meet to be held at Austin sometime dur ing the middle part of April. This year the team has been hit pretty hard by army and navy in ductions of some of last year’s out standing tankers. Among those missing from last year’s team are: Bobby Jones, star breaststroker; Eastman, one of the best free stylers in the conference, and Hous er and Byrd. Upon those swimmers Adamson was hoping to gather enough points to carry away the conference meet along with the other members that will strengthen the squad. Prospects for this season were looking gloomy by the induction in to the armed forces of the above men, but now it is brighter by the return of A. Fascio, South west Conference diving champion, and Paul Fleming, sprint swim mer. Others upon whom Coach Adamson is counting to bring enough points at the conference meet are Escobar, who is showing considerable improvement in long distance events, Allen Self, for both sprint and backstroke events; Heiman who is showing a lot of (See AGGIE, Page 4) SUPERIOR DRY CLEANING LABTERSTEIN’S PHONE 4-4444 STUDENT CO-OP Bicycle and Radio Repair PHONE 4-4114 Twenty-Seven Grid Hopefuls Report For First Practice Two All-State Nominees Included In Group Checking Out Uniforms Twenty-seven would-be Texas Aggie football players reported Monday to Coach Homer Norton for about three weeks of individual player practice. Lettermen remain ing in school from the 1944 Maroon and White team will assist Aggie coaches in breaking these new boys in on Aggie formations and funda mentals.

They have completed re quirements for entering Texas A. & M.

Best known in Texas high school football circles is George Hughes, unanimous selection as all-State guard, from the. San Angelo Bob cats. Hughes stands 6 feet even, weighs 200 pounds and his days as an Aggie likely are numbered as he is 18. Along with Hughes came Kenneth Carley, promising back- field candidate, also 18, weighing 172 and is 6:1 in height. Peewee Smith, Bryan’s contri bution to the all-State backfield, is expected to be wearing an Aggie practice uniform before very long, but was not among the numbering reporting for the initial meeting.
