ope of the smallest fields for the
appearance of the season when the
tracksters take on the Oklahoma
Aoo.es in ( a dual meet at Kyle
Field, i , .
The undefeated Farmers will be
flying to keep their perfect record
unblemished and also to get re
venge Jor a 73 1-3 to 62 1-3 beat
ing handed thbm by the Okla
homans last spring.
Oklahoma A&M boasts the best
track team in the Big Six, and
judging from the performances Of
both teams in the past few weeks
the meet will be nip and tuck.
Only two meets remain on A&M
schedule after the meet this week-
ace a return uual meet
with Texas that ip slated for May
7 in Austin and the conference
classic since its inaugural in 1875.

A long-rhnge weather forecast

Golf Team Meets
Arkansas in Final
Match of Season
. I if ' ' , l ||'. I /,
1 A hopeful Aggie golf team left
yesterday for Fort Smith, Arkan
sas, to play their last dual match
of the season Friday against the
Arkansas Razojrbacks.
If the A&M team can take tw r o
of the six rounds, they will cinch
the conference title.
, Last year the maroon and
white golfers won the most
matches, but lost the deciding
conference meet to Texts. This
year, howeyer, the crown goes
to fhe team winning the .most
individual duels for the whole
year. 1
There will still be a' conference
meet to decide the SWC repre
sentative in the CAA playoffs. Any
of A&M’s three top-notch players,
Travis Bryan, Jr., Bart Haltom,
And Johnny Henry haVe a chance
to cop the playoff.
The Aggies] are not assured of
an easy win tn Friday’s contest
a six of seven-horse field, one
of the sjmallest in more than 30
years. Only seven wept when
old Rosebud won in 1914, and
in 1907 Pink Star had to turn
back onfy five rivals.
[. Citation sauntered out yester
day and leisurely romped away
with the iderby trial.
| Galedo; the early pacesetter, was
last in the field of four.
This (eliminated Galedo from
Saturdayfs speculation, but a sur
prise announcement from New
York that; Big Dial was flying
down today for the derby sustain
ed the seven-horse possibility for
Saturday!.

Bubba Smart is one of the lead
ing college players in the country
and is favored to take his singles
match. Luder Moscly is another
low-shooter for ihe Ozark players.
1 Fort Smith will be the site of
the meet because it saves the visi
tors from! a long, hilly trip to
Fayettevjille. Also, thfc course at
that small town has only nine
holes. ! f • ! j , j

Christian College Netters.
• i,Tbings get underway at ten
Saturday morning when the Fish
begin their match with the Clifton
five. The Fish group has been
showing lots of promise in compe
titive practice and should give a
good account of themselves Satur

two Freshmen from Lamsr of
Houston, Allen and Alvin Aar-
onson, twins from Cotnlla, and
Charles Hodges from Sunset in
Dallas make up the Frosh squad.
In the Bees the ACC lads will

their top positions. The Bees are
just below the regulars in ability
and a lot of the time their hustle
is even better.
Membcra of the B team are
James Wallis and Ellis Garling-
ton, both of whom have done
some conference playing this
year, and Bill Hoover, J. O. Wil
liams, and Jack Norman.
Only action that will be seen
by the varsity is a scrimmage that
is' scheduled to be held with San
Angelo High School’s netters Sat
urday.
Perfect Pitcher
Ken Jones, the PeorUf, 111., Jour

ly is convinced that his boy Bobby,
is cut out to be a pitcher.
Hurling against Decatur, Bob
by turned in a two-hitter, then
went back as.a reliever and fanned
eight in 2 2-3 innings.
The next morning he looked at
the box scores and found that his
dad’s paper hadn’t credited him
with a hit he had made.
Bobby howled: “Dad, I need
those hits. It’s serious.”
