THURSDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 26, 1945 THE BATTALION Page 3 ) \ 4 » > 4 ♦ * * 4 By Ed Wendt Battalion Sports Editor WHAT HAPPENED TO ROY MOORE? Surely you’ve heard of Roy Moore—the winner of the Hous ton Junior City League Golf tournament, and the long talked about ‘character’ of the mighty Rice Golf squad who scared the Texas Boys out of a win last week, and who was supposed to have no trouble at all showing up any thing the Aggies had to offer. Well, it seems that Mac Stewart LOUPOT’S A LITTLE PLACE - - s - - A BIG SAVING! 1 We have Brown Rubber Heels Any Size Holick’s Boot Shop ALTERATIONS PHONE 4-4444 Bicycle and Radio Repair STUDENT CO-OP of the Maroon and White squad was more than this wise old Owl could bat an eye at, as Stewart took Moore by a two and one score last Monday afternoon on the Bryan Country Club Golf Course. By the by, we might take a few minutes out here to compli ment Charles Henning on the way his boys showed up Monday after noon. Whether the Aggie win over Rice was due to his good coaching or the material he had to work with is your guess, but they surely took the Old Owl out for a trimming. GROVES DIDN’T LIKE IT! Guy Groves, coming in on the last leg of the mile relay Mon day, found himself running neck- to-neck with Holbrook of the Ma roon and White squad. It seems that Holbrook had bested Groves by a fraction of an inch as they broke the tape, but it was very close. Upon crossing the finish, Guy threw his hands into the air and raised the most awful “dick ens”, claiming that he stopped running ten yards before the tape, as he thought that was the finish. We won’t comment on that, as Groves was probably serious in his accusations; anyway the Farm ers donated the honors of the event to Rice to add to their em barrassingly low figure. We will say this, however, “Bet Groves wouldn’t have had a remark to make had he really thought he’d beaten Holbrook”.

Ag Diamondmen Clash With Owls In Initial Home Conference Tilt Friday Longhorn-Aggie Netters Meet In Season Opener The Maroon and White netters met the Texas Longhorns in the opening meet of the Aggie tennis season today at 3:00 p.m. on the home tennis courts. This match was postponed from last Saturday afternoon because of uncertain weather. The Longhorns entered the match with one win (against Rice) to their good and were heavy favorites to win the meet. Friday the Aggie tennis squad journeys north to Fort Worth Where they will clash with the TCU Horned Frog netters Friday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. Saturday the team will jaunt over to Denton and will put on an exhibition for the lassies of T.S.C.W. With a record of no wins and no losses, this week-end should change the picture considerably. Another man, Jack Ross, was de clared ineligible this week which will undoubtedly influence the strength of the Farmers in meets to come. Basketball Letters Awarded to Seven The names of seven basketball lettermen were approved by the Athletic Council in a meeting re cently. The names of the follow ing boys were submitted to the council by Manning Smith before he left and were approved by the council: Charlie Weinbaum, Bill McCor mick, Dick Goad, Hub Ellis, Oscar White, Milton Cheimo, and Bob Collins. Four of these lettermen will be back with the Aggie squad again next year. Goad, Ellis, White, and McCormick will all be on hand to start the Maroon and White 1946 season. No one, as yet, has been select ed to coach basketball next season. Manning Smith’s sudden call to the Merchant Marines left the coaching staff minus a coach. Ray Putnam pinch-hitted for Manning early last season when Smith was busy coaching football and Lil OPPORTUNITY! An unusual opportunity for the right man.

M. U. at Dallas and 7-1 to the- TCU Frogs at Fort Worth. The Aggies display ed a superiority in hitting power in both games, but offset this mar gin by heads-in playing afield and on the bases. SMU Starts Early The Mustangs started early, scoring two runs in the first inn ing and two more in the fourth. All these runs were without the aid of a basehit. They added sev en runs in the fifth frame and three more in the sixth to end their scoring. The Aggies were unable to chalk up a run off Shaw until the seventh, when they pushed across five tallies. They added another pair in the eighth. The Maroon and White did lit tle better against the Horned Frogs of TCU. The Froggies made all their runs in the first three innings, getting two in the first, three in the second, and two more in the third. A. & M.’s lone mark er came in the seventh on succes sive singles by Winkler, DeLa- fosse and Matthews. This Friday afternoon the Army team meets the Rice Owls here at home. Rice is reported to play a good brand of ball, with a nine bolstered by the presence of sev eral Naval trainees. On Saturday afternoon the Aggies are host to the team from the Waco Army Air Field. Waco is reported to have had one of the best teams in this section up until a month or two ago, but stars like Birdie Tebbets, Sid Hudson, and others have re cently been transferred to other stations. Both games are scheduled to get under way at 3:30 p.m. Dimmitt, who made the Arkansas trip with the team late in the sea son, spent a few afternoons tutor ing the Ag basketeers. It is not expected, however, that either of these two men will take over the responsibilities next fall as Put nam carries a heavy load with the Physical Education Department and Dimmitt will be busy with football and track.

HELP BRING VICTORY BUY MORE WAR BONDS Maroon and White Linksmen Beat Rice One of the best Aggie Golf teams in years defeated a good Rice team Monday afternoon, 4-3.
