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

A Infantrys’ horseshoe team
pitched two winning games to take
honors in the Intramural tourna
ment as they beat B Air Corps 2 to

edge in accuracy gave A Infantry
the needed points. Results of the
match is as follows:

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.

Aggie T Club Sponsoring
Sports Day Program May 10
Further clarification of the of-4
ficial Sports Day on Saturday, May
10 may be necessary as, surprising
ly enough, some Aggies profess
ignorance of the event and others
are a bit confused about the myr
iad activities of that day.
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.
Tennis Team Swamps

won from Smith and Manning, 6-2,
