Last Saturday the Ag- ,j gies won over Rice 8 to 7, The Bombers are an improved club over last year when they ended up in the cellar of the Big State league. New manage ment and personnel have been added to strengthen the team. This has been shown in their exhibition games played so far this spring. On April 3 of this year, the Bombers beat the Agf gies 9 tp 8 in a close ball game. Coach Marty Karow plans to give his regular pitchers a rest in this gaqie.

The ohly drawback to what might hive been the answer to Coach Ffank Anderson’s prayer for a mi^n to rival Texas’ Charlie Parker, is that the sprinter in question was not wearing «n Ag gie uniform. He. is Wendell Davis, 17-year-o|d inegrq sprinter from Kemp High School in Bryan.
