Texas A&M athletic teams finished a fairly successful year by capturing three of the eight Sputhwest Conference titles at siake in 1948. The on ly first Ifhat A&M won in a major sport was in track, a title they have taken the last two years in succession. The baseball team finished second to Texas, while in basketball and fodtball, the Aggies came in sixth and seventh respect ively. H ;.

The bright spot in the Aggie hopes for 1949 was the fine showing of this i year's freshman team, which emer ged victorious over John Tarleton and the freshman teams of TCU, Rice, and Texas. The only joss the fish suffered was at the hands of the Baylor Cubs by a 19-12 score. Basketball The A&M basketball team fin ished a none too successful 1947- 48 campaign by winning only two conference games and finishing sixth in the conference race. The team won 7 of the 24 games that (it played last season. Coach Marty Karow hopes to come through with a better sea son in 1948-49. Four of last years starters, Bill Turnbow, Sam Jen kins, Gene Schrickel, and Bill Batey have returned this season. From last year’s fish team Coach Karow has picked up John DeWitt who has taken over at the center position. Another play er, James Kirkland, a member of last year’s varsity squad, has been playing fine ball at the forward slot. Jewel McDowell, a former all- state player from Amarillo, will join the team at ittid-semester. He is expected to take over a guard position that will be vacated by the graduation of Sam Jenkins in January. Baseball Marty Karow’s hardball squad Surprised the conference last Spring and became the team to beat for the title. Developing into a team of slug gers who often knocked the oppos ing pitcher off the mound before the end of the third inning, they Were able to defeat Rice, SMU, and TCU three games each. They tlso won two from Baylor and lost One, but were defeated in all three ames they played against the £ r exas Longhorns, Btan Hollmig, Zeke Strange, Earl Beesley, and Tex Thornton, all starters on last years team, ; signed contracts to play pro ball after the season was over.

In doing so, the Aggies came from behind before the last race was run to swamp the Texas Longhorns in the con ference meet which was held in: Houston. A part of the (rack team that gained national fame for A&M was the mile relay team com posed of Art Hargden, Ray Hol brook, Erwin Bilderback and Emil Ludwig. Besides winning first place in that event in! Hie conference meet, they also took firsts at the Kansas and Drake relays and set a new record fof i the 1600 meter relay at the Coli seum Relays. Art Harnden later ^ran on the U. S. mile relay team in the Olympic games in Eng land. The team is expected to be strong again this year with many outstanding men slated to compete in both the track abd field events. There are many returning per- fofmers from last year and the Aggies can be expected to give the other members of the conference a hard fight in defending their title. Swimming After winning six of their seVen dual meets last season, the A&M Swimming team placed a bitter second to Texas University in the conference meet.
