Who’s going to be back from the 1944 squad? What new high school stars are going to be on hand when grid season opens?” We’ll not attempt to draw any conclusions as to how the Maroon and White will show up on the gridiron next fall, but, rather, present you with the facts and let you draw your own conclusions.

Other returning backfield letter- men will be “Stubby” Matthews of San Antonio, George McAllister of Eden, and Tom Daniel of Kerrville. The backfield is to be supported by a line that will consist of the following returning lettermen: ENDS, Grant Darnell, “Scooter” Yeargin, and Bill Geer; TACKLES, Morton Shefts, “Sparky” Eberle, Dean Denton, Monte Moncrief, and Domon Tassos; GUARDS, George Gray, “Sleepy” League, and Ar thur Abraham; and “Hub” Ellis is the only returning letterman at the center slot.

STRONG LONE STAR CINDER TEAM LOOMS FOR AAU Texas is due to be strongly rep resented in the National A. A. U. track and field meet in New York next month with chunky Perry Samuels leading the Lone Star State contestants. Roy Holbrook who ran for the Fighting Texas Aggie Track team this season took the quarter mile race in San Antonio last week-end in 49.3 sec. Holbrook will bear the quarter mile load for the team in the National A. A. U. meet next month. Others to make the trip are Perry Samuels who ran the 100- yard dash in 9.5 Saturday, to equal the National A. A. U. record set by Frank Wykoff of Southern Cal ifornia in 1931. August Erfurth won the high hurdles in 14.8; he is from Brackenridge in San An tonio. He also took the low hurdles in 25.5 around a curve. Donaldson of Rice pitched the discus 152 feet 7 inches to win top honors, and Unstattd of Texas U. ran the mile in 4:31.3 to take first. Haese high- jumped 6 feet 4% inches in Satur day’s meet and will represent Texas in that event. Holbrook’s win over Austin High’s Desmond Kidd set tled a lot of doubts.

Brackenridge Of San Antonio Wins State High School Swimming Meet Held Here Aggies Lose Two To Longhorn Nine The Texas Aggie nine closed out its 1945 season with two losses in tvh> days to the Longhorns of Texas U. Friday afternoon the Ma roon and White played its best conference game of the season, dropping the tilt 4-3. Saturday the hounds found their hitting eye and belted a brace of Aggie hurlers for a total of 14 hits, taking the tilt 15-2. This made the second game of the year in which the Long horns have beat the Aggies by 13 runs. But for a bad third inning the Farmers would have taken the first game. Texas scored one in the first, with the Aggies making all their runs in the last half of the frame. With one out, DeLafosse hit a line drive between left and cen ter which Wooten was unable to handle. DeLafosse took second on the error. The next three men, Matthews, Katt, and Strickhausen, all walked, forcing DeLafosse across with the first run. Strange got an infield hit to short, with Matthews scoring. Katt counted on an infield out. That was all for the Aggies in the scoring depart ment. In the third the teasippers picked up three runs which they should not have had. 2 errors paved the way for the runs. The rest of the ball game was played in good time and some nice plays were turned in by both clubs. Saturday afternoon’s game was a different story from the start. The Longhorns made three in the first to give them a lead that was never headed. Jim Love and Charlie Smith couldn’t silence the bats of the visitors as 14 hits rang out, four of them doubles. Mgebroff Succeeds Hartmann At Church Kurt Hartmann, minister to the American Lutheran congregation at College Station for the past eleven years, left today for Edin burg, Texas, where he will be en gaged in the field of Mexican mis sions of his church.

L. Downs, Jr., Nata- torium. The schools finished in a 42-42 deadlock in 1944, but Brack enridge won the meet trophy on the flip of a coin. In 1943 Bracken ridge was first and Highland Park second.

A Company rack- semester’s action, packed intramur al program Wednesday afternoon, it was Chenowith’s power laden B Company infantrymen who earned the undisputed right to the covet ed intramural flag for the coming semester. In becoming college in tramural champs for the spring semester, 1945, the B Company lads racked up a grand total of 500 points as G Company, who ended the hard fought intramural race with some 451 points ended up in second place. A Company ended in third place with 441 points, while D Co. wound up in fourth with some 412 points.

G Company took second place in this tightly contested intramural scrap in placing as college champs in horseshoes, and by emerging as college runner-up in the interesting intramural tennis tournament. But so much for the intramural standings, and now on to a brief resume of the hotly contested re sults in intramural volleyball, ten nis, and softball.
