That occurred in the sixth frame and wus us close as the Hduston team came to score. The A&M player* were defin itely spirited into action in t^ei sixth inning. Cougar thii.d base man John Woods wont down to second on a ground ball to Cotton Lindloff. Lindioff flipped to Guy Wallace for the put-out and as Wallace stepped from the bag for a try at first, Woods slammed into him fike a tackling dummy. Plate'umpire Teat Tollar was busy seeing nothing and refused to punish> the offender. Base um- i pire Duplechain couldn’t over rule ToRar. With this in mind the Aggies dug in at the plate. Mays singled in the seventh and Lindloff cracked, a double as Mays went down on the hit- and-run. The ball bounced past the center fielder and Mays spriqtedjiome with the first run. In the next inning, the maroon and white team pushed three runs across without a bage hit and got the last laugh on Woods. John DeWitt hit a grounder to thjrd where Woods tried to field the ball with his spikes. -All hands were safe. Bob Graham stepped up and banged another hopper into Woods glove who, promptly threw home but high over the catch er’s Waiting glove. Fretz and Moon scored, DeWitt went to third.

MARCH 21. 1949 / Page 3 —■■■—■—jU ■; > yf- -—. )' Steers Take Swimming Meet At Austin by A Wide Margin SCOTTY SWINNEY A very fine South-west Confer ence Swimming Meet was held in Austin. The score dff the meet is no direct indication of the ex citement that held the crowds that packed the stands ef the Texas University pool. Many of the races] though add ing-more points to the 107 gained by Texas 'University iii winning the meet, were thrill packed an close tp give the cnpWd something to yel|. about. It was the old stoify of the best balanced team that Won this tour nament for the Steets. Their clos est contestants were the Texas Ag gies with some .50: points, but though they were far behind in score, the boys from jAggieland put up a. terrific fight and are to be praised for their effdrts. Eight records wer^ added to the books after the three days of rac ing. Four of these came about through the addition jof new events or the changing of 'distances, and yard freestyle when Danny swam the distance in 2:14.6, almost beat ing Eddy Gifiiert of Texas, who swam a 2:14.|>. Danny’s race was the better from many points of view, because it was the first time that he had swam the 220 in com petition in two yeafs. Danny went on from that race to swim the anchor leg on the Farmers record breaking 400 relay tCam and to place second in the 1^0 yard. freestyle. These points added to those he made in the 220 race made Danny the high point njab of the Aggie squad. The Aggie* were the strongest in the 200 yard breaststroke, where they placed three men in the first five places. George Dieck, who was relatively unknown around the Ag gie camp at the first of the sea son came in third for the Farmers while another unknown Tiger Moye placed fourth. Gene Summers camr in fifth to wind up the Aggie^eqr- jing in that event. ' V v A great fighter who deserves ijiention in ftnyones column is the other four weije set on oid ( Frank Campbell of Texas Univer- races. The only two : records which sity. Some weeks ago Frank was were left standing V-ere those set torn up pretty badly in a contest by Danny Green of Texas A&M in the 50 and 100 yard freestyle. Danny Green, captain of tl)e Ag-j gie squad, finished.mis swimming career for the Aggies in a blaze of what should have been glory, hut was lessened ill the eyes of most fans by the! fact that he djdn’t win first placja. All of this came aj>out in the 220 perfection nd beauty hot tho holds the tfith edges in U a : to blend jkkj >rns Take Ft. Texas University stripped an other Aggie track championship away Saturday on the sandy oval of Farrington Field in Ft. Worth 59V4-5714- This time it was the Ft. Worth track and field meet title. Even after the Longhorns seemed to havd lost the meet in a hard luck accident during the 440 yard sprint relay, they hung on to their early margin to come through on top. A&M had to fight to come from behind all the way after they were blanked in the early events. Before three events were ended the Longhorns had a 15 poinfp margin that the Cadet team was never able to narrow. Both of the top scoring teams did not scratch in the first event on the program, the 120 high hurdles. A&M’s Bill Cardon, not expected to compete earlier in the week due to a pulled muscle, almost reached the finish line ahead of John Vails of Baylor. Charley . Parker of the Orange and White squad was clearly superior for the race over his closest rival, Phul Bienz of Tu- lane, in the 100 yard dash. The officials ruled that Tony D’Am- brosia of Baylor placed behind Bienz for third place, but to other observers it appeared Per- ? r Samuels, John Robertson of exas, and Bill Napier of A&M finished ahead of the Bruin. Rob ertson was placed fourth hy the Aggie Keglers Drop Bruins 10 -3 Saturday High scores were notable by their absence Saturday as the Ag gie Bowlers turned back, the Bay lor keglers, 10-3, in the “Y" Al leys. Neither team was able to t iroduce a single two-hundred bow er, and Fred Wilson’s 181 was the high score for the day. The Aggies were never in trou ble after the first game w‘hen they grabbed a quick lead of 3-0. Three Baylor bowlers failed to show up, and one team duel and three dou bles matches were played. Aggies M. L. Lunceford team ed with Claude Lee to take two out of three doubles matches from Johnny Barger and Dan Hilliard of Baylor. They dropped the second game to Baylor by only seven pins. r Play in the team games, was noticable by its low scores. The visitors had the excuse of bowl ing on the poor A&M alleys, but the home team had no balm for its red face. Fred Wilson Won an enchillada dinner from Smitty’s Cafe by post ing the high total, 496, for three games. Emmett Trant won a pack age of potato chips for posting the low score. Trant also had the high est number of splits, five, but made spares out of three of them. The first team, composed of Wally Dixon, Marvin Hagemeier Fred Wilson. Ray Lyon and Bob Williams, made a total of 2330 points to 2124 for Baylor, and won all three lines. R. L. McClure and Emmett Trant beat Barger and Hilliard two of three matches in doubles play, but lost another point on the total score for the three lines\ In the final match of the day, Bubba Williamson and Art Howard split two games with Jim Cornell and Eddie Brown of Baylor. On the visitor’s side of the led ger, Jim Cornell was high Fickle D JtWgM.- M ‘ Hard luck moved upon Texas in thf sprint relay when the third men in the relay, Chesahir, pulled a muscle after a bad pass of the baton. The Texas team wa* not able to finish the race. Bill Napier came in yards ahead of the Baylor anchor man. j Old Dame Fortune seemed to continue to smile upon the Ag gies during the first eight of the hurdles in the 220 yard lows then proceeded to. change her mind and knocked the daylights . out of the team. First came the good fortune as John Rowland uHr SMU hit the seventh hurdle and sprawled on the track to leave the.’ field clear tor Don' Cardon or A&M to come in second be hind his team mate, Bob Hail. And then came the brick bats. Cardon hit the last hurdle of the race, hit the track, got up, and walked across the finish line to j come in fourth by a process nC;i elimination. Only five men had started in this event. A Texas ntan placed third. That cost the Aggies two points, enough to tie the meet With three event results to go, the Aggies needed nine points to tie the count. They gained four of these points in the low hurdles, leaving only five points needed in the 880 yard run and the mile re lay, the latter could be considered a cinch two points. Sophomore Lowell Hawkinson, former distance ;champ from IU1* mils, saved the day for the Long horns by placing ahead of G. W. (’lark ofi^V&M for third place in tho 880, widening the margin to six points and making it impos sible for the Aggie to win the meet. Texas finished a poor fourth in the mile relay. ‘ 1 In the Freshtnen division the Texas first year men, with a whole slaw of weight men, wsIK- M off with the crown, 68-37, Aggie Drop Match, 4 - 2 ■ j Texas A&M's varsity tennis team lost to the University of Houston, two matches to four, here last Saturday., I! \ Large Jason Morton, who is ranked third in men’s- singles in Texas, led the Cougars to their second victory over A&M. He de feated Rodney Sellars in two straight sets, 6-2, 6-3, and team ed with Jack Lanham to defeat Sellars and James Wallis, 6-2, 8-10, 7-5. This match was by far the best match of the day. with Sellars and Wallis coming from behind in the second set to win and start the third set with a four game lead. Morton and Lah- ham had to pour on the steam to finally win the third set 7-5.
