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

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”.

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

the team will jaunt over to Denton

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. I have just bought

Highway, on a gravel road, elec
tricity, well of good artesian
water, pumping capacity 200
gallons a minute, pump being
installed. Second—a forty acre
tract, all plowed, no Johnson
Grass, 400 feet away. Third—
fifty acre tract, six miles far
ther north, same Highway, all
plowed and 90 acres adjoining
all plowed, two wells, one house.
Artesian water at 200 feet. I
want a junior partner, salary
and part of income. No money
required. Must be smart, willing
to work and country raised. I
am in active medical practice in
San Antonio, but was country
raised with ten years experience
as commercial irrigation gard
ener, culture and sales. Nine
years of university education.
A SPLENDID OPPORTUNITY

Kyle Field Saturday
A&M vs. SMU - TCU
Poor fielding and base-running
cost the Aggies two baseball games
last Thursday and Friday, as
they bowed 14-7 to the S. 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.

Here In Dual Meet
After being postponed on last
Saturday afternoon, the A&M -

mittmen were Holbrook, who beat
Groves of Rice in the 440 yard

second in the discus, and was bare

Maroon and White
Linksmen Beat Rice
One of the best Aggie Golf
teams in years defeated a good
Rice team Monday afternoon, 4-3.
