ON KYLE FIE LIE by PAUL MARTIN Though the baseball and track teams from A&M failed to make a showing last week-end in their out-of-town tours, here at home, the out-come was a bit brighter. Charlie DeWare’s unheralded B baseballers chalked up another win as did the Aggie linkmen. The Aggie Bees dumped a visit-4 ing Southwestern University team in the mud (and I do mean mud) by a score of Martin 10 -1. Cadet runs came in all of the first six innings and the pirates seemed pow erless to do anything about it or chalk up a few of their own. This was the seventh game played by the Bees this season and of that number, six were wins. The single loss was to Sam Hous ton by a count of 7-6. Dewey Jacobs was the Aggie mound artist for the Bees before he moved up to the A squad. The current crop of hurlers includes Bob Southall, John Scurlock, and, as of Saturday, George Brown. Brown has been with the A team but went all the way for the Bees Saturday, allowing only four hits while striking out eight batters. In the hitting department, catcher Ray Katt sparks the team with several homers to his credit. Saturday Katt belted a homer that would have been roll ing yet had it not struck the green score board behind the center field fence. He also dus ted the fence off with a triple in the third and a single in the fourth. Perhaps the best thing about Saturdays tilt was that the hosts hadn’t a single error chalked up against them. First baseman Jack ‘Shug’ Shugart accounted for any number of outs, many of them un assisted. Moe Baber on second opened by getting a hit on the first ball over the plate while shortstop Jack Watson accounted for two hits in four trips to the plate. Baber converted what look ed to be a sure hit into just anoth er fly by reaching high into the air to bring down a long one by Pirate first baseman Means. Third baseman Bill Eckles out did himself this game with two hits, three put-outs and a like number of assists. Out-fielder Al len Garner, always a heavy hitter, singled three times in five trips, accounting for one run. All-in-all, the Cadet Bees have given a commendable account of themselves this season. A return match with the Southwestern U. Pirates will be played in George town tomorrow. Though the crack Aggie mile relay combine of Harnden, Napier, Holbrook, and Bilderback failed to take any honors in the Drake Re lays in Des Moines last Saturday, their off-the-record performance was far from discouraging. The books don’t give recognition to close seconds or any E for effort but the Cadet quartet set a few unofficial records of their own. As the race progressed into the final stages, the Farmers were running behind four other college teams. In a burst of speed, the Ags passed the last three teams and were running within two yards of the leader’s heels. As they crossed the line however, they were trailing by about twelve yards. Even so, the Maroon clocked the unofficial time in that race of 3:15.8 which beats their fastest time this year which is 3:17.8 This INTRAMURALS cm, X™* A. Infantry Wins in Horseshoes; Dorm No. 17 Takes Crown A Infantrys’ horseshoe team pitched two winning games to take honors in the Intramural tourna ment as they beat B Air Corps 2 to 1. It was a hard fought battle from beginning to end but a slight edge in accuracy gave A Infantry the needed points. Results of the match is as follows: Austin and Bell of A Infantry beat Crouch and Gullo. Drozd and Dixon of A Infantry beat Maurer and Butler. The only win for B Air Corps was the victory of Hammond and Jacobson over Babbitt and Walker. On the handball courts Dorm No. 17 won the championship by de feating C Infantry.

"“S Million ^ QJaldroptfg “Two Convenient Stores” College Station—Bryan Cadet Linkmen Hand T U First Heating By Jack Goodloe Texas University’s golf team, un defeated in nine starts, dropped its first match to the Aggie linkmen by a score of 7 and 2 on the Bryan Country Club greens Monday af ternoon. This the first time some of the “old timers” around the campus can’t remember just when it has been done before. Travis Bryan, Jr., beat Bob Wat son 1 up on 19. Bill Washington won over Morris Williams 1-up. In the four ball Bryan and Washing ton finished 1-up over Watson and Williams. In the next group. Bill Compton out played Ed Hopkins 1-up. Tex as got one point on the twosome when Marion Pfluger beat Law rence Fouraker 1-up when they went to 19. TU won the foursome 2 and 1 when Pfluger and Hopkins won over Compton and Fouraker. Don Rutan won over Blackie Dahlberg 4 and 3 and Johnny Henry beat Eddy Burke 5 and 4. A. & M. won the foursome when Rutan and Henry defeated Dahl berg and Burke 5 and 4. Johnny Henry was low man for the match when he came below par with a 69. Bob Watson was low scorer for the Longhorns with a 71. Through out the match putts missed the cups by inches and not until the match was over could the winners be determined. Bryan and Watson went to 19 when Bryan made a putt on 18th to even the holes. Fouraker lost to Pfluger on the 19th hole. also beat the fastest time ever run by any team in the South. ★ When it comes to baseball, the Aggie club is good, but there are those in the conference that are apparently better. The tussle with the Bruin had no real significance in altering the standings other than aiding the Bears to keep in running with the Longhorns. The first of the series of two games that was originally slated for Fri day was postponed with intentions of playing a double-header Satur day but the drizzle which turned to rain in the sixth caused cancel ation of this game. The weeks play leaves the ‘Sips more deeply than ever entrenched in their lead for conference hon ors. Wins over SMU, Baylor, and TCU places them with nine wins and one loss with Baylor, then number two squad with six wins and two losses. A&M, currently ranking third, has no close contenders. The five wins and four losses chalked up by the Farmers are well ahead of TCU and Rice with only two wins and six losses each. SMU is out of the running for all practical purposes.

The Sports Day program is sponsored by the Aggie T club and its purpose is to raise money for the annual T club banquet and other social activities. The track meet on that day as well as the baseball game are incidental and are separate from the T club ac tivities. Tickets for the football scrim mage between the maroon and white squads may be bought from any T club member at a cost of one dollar. Coupon books are not acceptable for this event. Coupon books may be used, how ever, for the baseball game. The baseball match was one of the or iginally scheduled games that had to be cancelled earlier in the sea son and rescheduled for May 10. For this reason, as it is a sched uled match, it is not considered a part of T club-sponsored activities. Some conflict will necessarily take place in that three events are coming off in one afternoon. This would not ordinarily be so as the football team has in the past and will in the future complete spring work-outs in March. This will be the only opportun ity to see the 1947 edition of the Aggie football squad in action be fore next September. The baseball game will start on the Kyle Field diamond at 3 p.m. The track meet begins at 1:30 p.m. with the field events. Running events will start at 2 p.m. and end at 3:30. The football scrimmage will follow.
