Here Wednesday
The Aggie B Baseballers will
take on the Sam Houston State
College Bearkats this Wednesday
for the second match of the year.
The game will be played here be
ginning at 3 p.m. and Radio Station
WTAW has made arrangements to
broadcast it.
John T. Scurlock will probably
start on the mound for the Ags.

the only team to defeat the Cadet
Bees, the latter having four wins in
four starts prior to meeting Sam
Houston here last Thursday.
Cadet Baseballers Drop Texas
Match 9 to 8 in Tenth Frame
It took the Texas Longhorns ten innings of play to sub
due the Texas Aggies by a score of 9 to 8, Friday afternoon
in Austin before a capacity crowd of 4,000. The Aggies
used four pitchers in the game while the Longhorns put in
three men on the mound.
The contest was a pitching dueH
for the first seven innings between
Earl Beesley and Bobby Layne and
perfect ball was played by the
defense of both teams. The Long
horns were ahead 1 to 0, by vir
tue of a home run by Tom Ham
ilton in the second frame, when
the Aggies came to bat in their
half of the eighth. Layne put two
men out, but infield errors by his
teammates filled the bases. Har
old “Frog” Walker, big 215 pound
catcher stepped to bat and slam
med through second base scoring
two runs. Shortstop Bobby Frietz
was next up and on the first pitch
sent a double against the left field
fence to bring in two more runs. A
moment later Frietz scored on a
pass ball to put the Aggies out in
front 5 to 1.
With one away, and the bases
loaded, during the TU half of the
eighth, Beesley left the mound to
Dewey Jacobs because of a sore
arm. Jacobs walked in one run
and Lil Dimmitt sent in Y. B.
Johnson, who walked in another
run. Then Stan Hollmig came
over from first base to pitch,
struck two men out to retire the
side but only after two more
runs, tallied off of Hobbs Wil
liams single to tie the score.
The ninth inning was uneventful
though both sides had rallys going
and each left three men on bases.
Stan Hollmig was first up for A.
& M. in the tenth and he hit safely.
Calvert flied out but Bobby Frietz
picked up his second double of the
day, this time against the right
field fence, to score Hollmig.
Thornton flied out to advance
Frietz, Willingham walkegl, and
both scored as Wasson reached
first on Ransom Jackson’s error.
Hollmig was in trouble from the
start of the last half of the tenth
inning. Williams, the first man
up, flied out. Billy Cox got on by
an error and catcher Dan Watson
walked. Joe Randerson walked
and Jackson got on safetly by
fielder’s choice as Cox was forced
out at home. Hamilton walked and
another run scored. Chick Zom-
lefer came to bat with bases loaded
and two away and took a 3-2 pitch.
After fouling three balls, he knock
ed a Texas leaguer into center field
to sweep the bases and with the
game.
Aggie defense tightened up
for this game and was far super
ior to the fielding of the Steers.
The Aggies felt the loss of Roy
Gibbons on the mound but Earl
Beesley allowed only four hits
in his seven innings of pitching
before retiring from the game.
Texas hitting was good but their
infield defense was very weak and
their pitching was none too spec
tacular.
Spectators, writers, and players
all agreed that the officiating of
umpires Lester Lyons and Bob
Smith was far below standard.
None of their decisions were con
sistent and were a source of much
discussion on the diamond.
Bobby Frietz was the big gun
for A. & M. in Friday’s game,
getting two hits for four times
at bat, and also sparked the Ag
gie defense. Dan Watson, Long
horn catcher, picked up two hits
out of three official trips to the
plate.

A&M Mile Relayers
To Run in Kansas
Relays This Week
by Don Engelking
Sixty-five universities and col
leges will compete Friday and Sat
urday, April 18 and 19, in the twen
ty-second relays conducted by the
University of Kansas. There will
be 12 relays and eight individual
events plus the revived decathlon
competition on the schedule.
Expected to shine in this meet
is a delegation of track stars from
the Southwest Conference, led by
“Flying Charley” Parker of Texas
and “Bullet Bill” Martenson of
Baylor. Although the Parker-
Martenson duel in the 100-yard
dash will be one of the highlights
of the meet, it might easily be over
shadowed by the classy mile relay
team from Texas A.&M. consisting
of Bill Napier, Ervin Bilderbeck,
Ray Holbrook, and Art Hamden or
the individual performance of Lit
tle Jerry Thompson, Texas’ great
miler.
T.U. will enter teams in the 440-
yard, 880-yard, and distance med
ley relays, Baylor will enter a 440-
yard relay team, and Ray Putnam,
assistant track coach, will escort
our now Nationally famous mile
relay team to Kansas. The re
mainder of the Aggie and Baylor
track squads will meet Rice In
stitute’s track team here on Kyle
Field in a triangular meet this
coming Saturday afternoon.
The Aggie thinly clads repre
senting the Maroon and White in
Kansas this week-end will run up
against some of the best compe
tition they have seen all year, but
we are still expecting them to
bring home the bacon. Track teams
that will compose the remaining
entries in the university-college
division will be from the Big Six,
Missouri Valley, Rocky Mountain,
and Big Nine conferences.
A&M Netters Lose
To TCU Frogs 4-2
The hapless Aggie tennis team
dropped its second meet in as many
starts last Saturday to a strong
TCU combination to the tune of
4-2.
Played on the new courts in Fort
Worth, the Frogs added up points
with singles victories by Harold
Manning, Carl Knox, and John Ba
ker and a doubels triumph by Ba
ker and Knox.
To Be Dressed Up When You Rest Up

For lounging...sleeping...or just sheer relaxation,
nothing puts you at such ease as comfortable, well-
cut pajamas. Jayson cuts these pajamas of a wide assort
ment of choice fabrics. Cotton, Rayon or mixtures. Famous
for ample fit and fashion-right appearance, it's no wonder the
nation sleeps in Jayson pajamas. And Jayson really helps you sleep.
A clever full width, covered elastic band in the back only keeps your

Aggie Football Looks to Busy Year
Martin
Between 80 and 90 men turned
out for the opening day of foot
ball spring training last Friday
and a large
number of new
faces were ev
ident.
Monte Mon-
crief was pres-
e n t, perhaps
through force
of habit, but
this time as a
spectator. The
line-up looked
e n c o u r -
aging with
some of the
boys present
ing quite a solid chunk of flesh
which should go toward making a
solid line.
In addition to the mainstays of
last season were several of the
pre-war star gridders, among them
Paul Yates of Fort Worth, Jimmy
Cashion of College Station and
Bobby Goff of Kenedy, all of them
backfield aces in ’44. Others in
cluded Doug Freberg of Dallas,
Charlie Hohn of College Station,
Don Nicholas of San Angelo, a
product of the ’43 squad, John
Schneider of Victoria, and Leon
ard Beard of Wilmer.
Some of the new faces were
William Brueck of Port Arthur,
John Christianson of Galveston,
Charles Davidson of Port Ar
thur, Frank Dees of Houston,
Jack (Rockey) Ford of Houston,
Max Greimer of Beaumont, and
Bob Hemple of Galveston.
The coaching staff is about the
same with the addition of several
new student coaches. ‘Uncle Bill’
James, whose continuation on the
coaching staff has been the big
question, was there and indications
are that he will be around for a
while longer.
In addition to Head Coach Ho
mer Norton, the staff consists of
Marty Karow, Bill James, Botch-
ey Koch, Johnnie Frankie, Char
lie DeWare, Wayne Cure, Tom
Pickett, and Marion Flanagan.
Pickett and Flanagan were added
recently and Cure was helping
Charlie DeWare with the B team
last year. Koch who has been
holding down the duties of tennis
coach, has been ‘deactivated’
from that post so as to devote
full time to football and W. M.
Dowell has taken over that slot.
Johnnie Frankie will have charge
of the B team this year and Tom
Pickett will have the C team.

LSI Tigers Cop Second Place
With Baylor Taking Last Slot
by Larry Goodivyn
The Aggie track team today was sharpening its wares
in preparation for the invasion of Kyle Field by two South
western Conference teams this Saturday after the Maroon
squad flashed all-around strength in walking off with a sim
ilar triangular meet on the local track last Saturday.
Rice Institute and Baylor, neith-4
er of which can be classed as
a
contender for conference laurels
but both capable of upsetting the
applecart of the favored teams,
will provide the opposition for
Coach Frank Anderson’s h i g h-
flying crew this week.
The Aggies had a big time last
Saturday in running up 96% points
to submerge Louisiana State, de-
fending Southwest Conference
champion, and Baylor. L. S. U.
placed a poor second with 48 points
while Baylor tallied 25%.
Honors were spread around fair
ly liberally as 31 different Aggies
shared in the point-making. Jim
Hill led the scoring spree for the
Aggies with eight, five in the
broad jump and three in the low
hurdles, while George K a d e r a
earned seven points with places in
the shot, discus, and javelin.
L.S.U.’s Bobby Lowther took
scoring honors for the day, amass
ing 13 points with first places in
the javelin and pole vault and a
second in the discus. Baylor’s
Stoney Cotton led the Bear’s with
nine and one-fourth points.
Despite a light rain that fell
right before the meet, the track
was in good condition. Lack of
close competition in many events
kept the number of exceptional
times down to a minimum although
Baylor’s Bullet Bill Martinson did
cause some raised eyebrows with
his flashy 9.5 performance in the
100 yard dash. The time ties the
SWC record for the century of
which Martineson is co-holder.
The performances of several
heretofore unheralded Aggies
tackling dummies, the first used
here since 1934.
It looks as though the T forma
tion will be used little if at all and
the ’47 Aggie gridders will rely
on the double wing, the same for
mation that won us National Cham
pionship in 1939.
Completing the coaching line
up will be James B. (J.B.) Mont
gomery, Aggie tackle in ’41 and
’42 who was with the Detroit Lions
last year.
Paul Yates, who is expected to
take one of the top berths in the
backfield, did not suit out due to a
foot injury.
Archery Club Being
Organized at A&M
The formation of an archery club
is now underway on the campus.
Approximately 22 members are al
ready enrolled and according to
Zane H. Fehrmann, president of
the club, membership is still open
to all those who wish to join, either
students or members of the fac
ulty.
Fehrman is a member of the
Houston Bowman club, State Arch
ery Association, National Archery
Association, and the American
Field Archery Association. The
club meets Monday and Wednes
day afternoons and from 10 till
11 a.m. Thursday morning. Meets
are also held on the week-ends.
These meets are held on the main
drill field and Fehrmann announced
that anyone wishing to join may
see him either at these times on
the drill field or at room 109,
Bizelle. He further stated that
he can be of aid in procuring the
necessary equipment.
Organized under the sponsor
ship of the Physical Education De
partment, the club is making ten
tative plans to compete in the Tex
as State Archery Association Meet
held in Houston on July 4 and 5.
Exhibition matches are also being
planned.

brightened hopes for a victory in
the coming conference battle. Joe
Vajdos clicked off a neat 1:58.5 in
taking the half-mile, an event, in
cidentally, in which the Farmers
scored a clean sweep; and Vernon
Belville showed real promise in
taking second in the javelin with a
toss of 181 feet 2% inches. Bell-
ville hadn’t placed in a single meet
this season but can be counted on
for points in the conference meet if
he retains his present rate of im
provement.
Aggies in addition to Hill and
Vajdos taking first places were:
Art Harnden in the 440 (in the
fast time of 48.5); Webster Stone
in the mile; Jim Mortensen in the
high hurdles; Jerry Bonnen in the
two-mile; and the mile relay team
of Napier, Bilderbeck, Holbrook
and Hamden.
The Rice squad which will duel
with the Aggies this weekend was
trimmed quite thoroughly by Tex
as 85-37, in a dual meet in Hous
ton last week. The Owls boast
strength only in the hurdles with
August Erfurth and Bill Cummings
and in several field events, notably
the high jump where defending
conference champion Henry Koff-
man gets a chance to show his
wares against the Aggies’ steadily
improving Art Haws. W e 1 d o n
Humble also is expected to stage
a hot duel with Kadera in both
weight events.
