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

Varsity Baseball
Practice To Begin
Monday Afternoon

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. Game time for both
clashes will be eight p.m. Of the
twelve Aggies making the trip, the
starting lineup will look something
like this:
Oscar White, C.
Hub Ellis, F.
Dick Goad, F.
Bill McCormick, G.
Charlie Weinbaum, G*.
The Aggie schedule for the rest
of the season is as follows: Feb
ruary ninth, S.M.U. at Dallas; Feb

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

but left immediately for the armed
services. They have completed re
quirements for entering Texas A.

Best known in Texas high school
football circles is George Hughes,

guard, from the. San Angelo Bob

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.
