Aggie Nine Faces S. M. U. Here Today
Kyle Field
By Junior Canid
An interesting sidelight on the
Southwest Conference track meet
is a statement by T. u. Coach
Clyde Littlefield that “the well
rounded Aggie team could win the
title". Hm..m..m—Now, there's an
idea. How about it, Old Army?
This morning's shower will have
a deterring efect on the time trials
at Kyle Field this afternoon. But
leave us be happy that it was this
morning, and not tomorrow.
The American Sports Magazine,
a national publication, gives the
Texas Aggies a nice display in the
issue currently on the newsstands
witht feature stories on the Texas
Aggie football history, Col. Frank
Anderson, the Aggie track coach,
along with his record as a develop
er of javelin champions, a story
on the Aggie baseball and swim
ming teams. It also carries a full
page cartoon of Coach Norton
giving thumbnail sketches of his
record.
Copies have been scarce in this
area since it hit the stands but
the publishers, American Sports
Publishing Co., 108 North Sec
ond, Dallas, Texas, have written
that they still have a few copies on
hand and will try to take care
of any local fans who want a copy
and can't find one left on the local
stands. Price is 26 cents a copy.
Non-Regs, Non-Vets
To Organize Club
All students who are not mem
bers of the corps and who are not
veterans are requested to attend
a meeting to be held in the Arch
itecture Library, Academic Build
ing next Monday night. May 13 at
7:00 p.m. for the purpose of or
ganizing a club comparable to the
Ex-Servicemens Club now on the
campus.
As things now stand, those stu
dents have no representation what
soever in campus affairs, because
they have no organ through which
their voice may be heard. The
members of students in this cate
gory is estimated at between 150
and 200, which .is a sizeable per
centage of the enrollment.

SWC Coaches to
Consider B Teams,
Basketball Sked
The prospect of fielding a B
team at all conference schools this
fall, and increasing the present
12-game basketball schedule to an
18-game card will be considered
by the faculty representatives
forming the Southwest Conference
governing body and coaches in
meetings here on the campus Fri
day and Saturday.
In the event that the two pro
posals are accepted, B teams
would have a six-game conference
schedule, with contests to be played
on the Friday afternoons preced
ing conference games. Basketball
teams would have two games and
one game alternating yearly as is
done in baseball.
Also up for consideration is the
matter of an increase in price of
football tickets to pass on the Fed
eral tax which all schools have
been absorbing during the war
years. Other matters may be
brought up and passed upon at
the Saturday morning meeting.

Entries for the open handball
tournament are all in and play will

vitt and Cooper should take the
doubles.
Softball
Previously undefeated Dorm No.
12 was nosed out 2-1 Wednesday
by Legget. Wilhelm, the winning
pitcher, turned in a no hit pitching
performance. The winning run
came when Gramn scored from
third base after the catcher made
a play for him. The Band came
through with a run in the last of
the seventh inning • to beat A
Battery 6-5. In the other game,
C Cavalry walloped E Infantry

zell.

Beesley to Try
For Sixth Win
In Conference
By U. V. Johnston
Earl Beesley will take the mound
for the Aggies this afternoon at
three-thirty against the SMU Mus
tangs. Beesley will be after his
sixth conference win of the season,
and barring all unforeseen dificul-
ties he should be able to gather it
in without too much trouble. To
date he is leading the conference
in the number of men struck-out
with a total of 69, and you can be
sure he will take a few of the
Mustangs by the old strike-out
route today.
The Dimmittmen haven't been
doing so well at the plate for the
past few games—especially against
the hurling of Layne—but maybe
they can get back in the swing
of things today. The boys that are
looking for the fat batting aver
ages this season will have to get
to work today with the hickory
as there are only two more games
—both with T. u.
We know a fellow who shaves
forty or fifty times a day—but
he's a barber.
