Monday Afternoon, February 25, 1946 The Battalion Page 3 Seventy-Five Men Work Out for Positions on Aggie Track Team “The Texas Aggie track team for 1946 is about as much a question mark as it has been during the war years,” Track Coach Col. Frank Anderson said this week when queried about the outlook for the coming season which will open for the Aggies at the border Olympics at Laredo on March 8-9. Although he has about 75 hope fuls working out daily under his and Assistant Coach Johnnie Fran kie’s tutelage, only six of those are left from the 1945 squad. In addition he has picked up three other lettermen who are back at Aggieland after service in the armed forces. Those left over from last year include Jesse Hargis and Jim Jones, mile and two mile events; Oscar White and Jim Mortensen, hur dles; Arthur Haws, high jump; and Harold Zeitman, broad jump. Back from military service come Leon ard Dickey, shot, discus and pos sibility for javelin; Johnnie Zig- ler, mile and two miler who once held the conference cross country record; and Arthur Harnden, 220- yard speed merchant. Noticeably absent are experienced men in the 100-440 and 880-yard events and those are the men who also make up the relay teams. Also absent are candidates of renown for the pole vault and javelin unless Dickey A ttention Juniors! Choose now from our recent shipment of Regulation Junior Uniform equipment.

Some high school trackmen checked in this week but as yet they have not had time to demon strate their wares to the Aggie coaches. White is currently busy with basketball and after that is over he will be busy with Winter football training as will Morten sen, all of which makes it look like other hurdlers will have a chance to make the team until those two timber toppers get free for cinder track service. There also are some gridders working out for track who will devote a goodly part of their time to football training from Feb. 11 to March 12. Only one open date remains on the Aggie track schedule' and for a change no “Little Conference” meet will be held with Texas and Rice although both are met in two dual meets on a home and home basis.

LOUPOTS WHERE YOU ALWAYS GET A FAIR TRADE By Marion Pugh Battalion Sports Editor Tonight the Texas Aggies will take on the Arkansas Razorbacks in DeWare fieldhouse at 7:30 o’clock. There will be a repeat performance at the same time tomorrow night. Each game promises to be a thriller all the way even though the conference standings will not be altered re gardless of who gets the upper hand. Aggie Golfers Begin Workouts Coach Marty Karow has an nounced that seventeen prospective members of the A. & M. golf team tave begun practice at the Bryan Country Club.

Aggies Lost Latest Rifle Match to U.S. Coast Guard The Aggie Rifle team lost in theft* latest match against the U.S. Coast Guard Academy of New London, Conn, by a score of 1847 for the Aggies and 1887 for the Coast Guard. The match was a best five out of ten affair, with ten men firing and the best five targets being used. The following men fired in the match for A. & M.: Daniels, Watson, Richardson, Cook, Sexton, McGown, Jones, Grosser, Kury and Midgely. K The Razorbacks are firmly em placed in second place, behind the Baylor Bears, conference champs. The Aggies are holding down fifth slot, but a win for the luckless Aggies would tend to prove what many fans have contended all year; this is, they are capable of beat ing anyone, anywhere at any time. Arkansas, favored to take the conference flag until Baylor and T. C. U. upset the dope bucket by taking one each from the Razor- backs, will be trying to keep their record of eight wins and two los ses intact. Led by big, tall George Kok, the leading scorer in the con ference, the Razorbacks offer a smooth well balanced machine. Ja mie “The Pup” Dawson will have his hands full looking after Kok, and vice versa. It should be an interesting duel between these boys. These games will be the last for each club, and will spell finish to the Southwest Conference race, a race that has seen the turnstiles click like they have never click ed before. Practically every game at all the schools has enjoyed pack ed houses. This is supposed to prove something. Perhaps infla tion, or deflation, who knows, but it does prove every school in the conference needs either to build * a new field house or enlarge its present one to take care of the fans in a decent manner. Come early if you wish a seat, for none of the seats are reserved. 160 Wrestlers Weigh In; Matches Start 4:30 Wed.
