Longhorns Delayed
Until 15 of July
After conferring with the Gulf
Publishing Company, the LONG
HORN Staff learned that the
yearbook will be delayed until the
15th of July. This delay was
necessary due to the fact that we
had only ordered 2500 copies. This
small number was ordered be
cause at the time there were less
that 3000 students in school. Now
that the enrollment has swelled,

Tonight at Seven
Teahounds Take Two Game Series With
Score of 6-4 and 7-0 Against Aggies
By O. V. Johnston
The trip down Austin way turned out to be a very non
prof itable expedition for the A&M team. The Aggies dropped
both games to the boys from T. u. by the scores of 6-4 and
7-0.
The game Friday was the best game I have seen the
Aggies will all season. There was more life and spirit than
there has been in any game to date. The Aggies played heads-
up ball all afternoon and only lost control in the bottom of
the third when the Longhorns nicked Newman for four
hits and three runs.
Fred Schmidt, state field secre
tary for the American Veterans
Committee, will address the A&M
Ex-Servicemen's Club in the As
sembly Hall tonight at 7:00, it has
been announced. All Ex-Servicemen
are urged to attend and hear an
important message.
The Board of Representatives of
the local club invited Schmidt to
discuss “AVC, What is It, How It
Started, What it Offers the World
War II Veterans."
The AVC, although patterned
after the American Legion, s a new
organization designed to serve the
servicemen of World War II with
their numerous problems such as
disability claims, educational bene
fits, pensions, and other matters.
It has a rapidly growing member
ship, it was stated.
The Texas A&M Ex-Service-
men's Club is open to all student
servicemen. Servicemen not actual
ly paying membership dues are
urged to participate on an inactive
basis. Routine business matters
likely will be discussed following
the meeting, it was announced.
the staff deemed it necessary to
order another thousand copies; so
that everyone that desired a
LONGHORN would be able to get
one. This increase in the number
of copies could not be handled by
the publisher on his May quota
of paper; so the publishing date
has been moved up three weeks.
The LONGHORN Staff wishes
to assure you that your yearbook
WILL be here by the above date,
and we will not, unless unforseen
difficulties arise, have anither
postponement.
Newman had held the boys well
in check up to this time, but he
lost out completely in the third.
After Newman had given up three
runs Purtle came in to relieve
him and he did a very nice job
of relief hurling until he was re
lieved in the eighth by Shuford.
The Aggies picked up three of
their four runs in the second when
Hub Moon started off the inning
got to Layne for a walk, Arnold
came through with a single, and
Bradley pushed a long fly out to
center, scoring Moon. Newman
then came up to help his own
cause with a single scoring Arnold
and Thornton. The Aggies scored
again in the ninth with doubles
by Moon and Thornton.
The fielding honors for the day
went to Williams, the Texas left
fielder, who made a spectacular
shoe-string catch in the fourth
inning, robbing “Willie" Willing
ham of an extra base hit.
Saturday’s game was everything
that Friday’s wasn’t. The Aggies
played pretty sloppy ball afield
and were very poor at the plate.
They made a total of five errors
and only five hits. The team that
put in their appearance Saturday
had no resemblance to the team
that gave the Steers so much
trouble Friday. The support for
the pitcher wasn’t there either at
bat or afield.
Beesley got off to a bad start
Saturday giving up five hits and
three runs in four innings. “The
Kid" had settled down in the
fourth and was pitching the brand
of ball he is capable of when Dim-
mitt sent Shuford in to bat for
him the top of the fifth.
Shuford didn’t fare so well
against the hitting of the Steers,
as he gave up seven hits and four
runs in one and one-third innings.
Bardwell relieved Shuford and
gave up only one hit in two and
one-third innings.
The batting honors for the day
were carried away by Jackson, the
T. U. third baseman. Jackson got
four hits, three singles and a
homer, in five trips.
If the Aggies had played the
brand of ball all season that they
played Friday they would have
been much higher in the confer
ence standings today. When the
team turns in such a stellar per
formance one day and just the
opposite the next, there is some
thing wrong And it isn’t the lack
of material. , , . > i i ;
