Weather permitting, the freshman baseball teams of -A&M and Baylor will clash, this afternoon for the second time this reason in Waco. The Cubs handed the Fish their wily setback of the year earlier in the season. “We should play them a -good ball game if i Bob is all right” said Coach Paul Androws.f" The Fish have had Only four good practice days in the last two weeks due to muddy grounds and wet Weather. Running workouts have been held on the Kyle Field track i v scheduled to keep the hunch'in shape. y Bob Tankers ley, stellar Aggie mounder, is due to start for the Fish. Tankersley, a San Antonio lad, has two conference victories to his credit. He set Hie Rice Owlets back twice this season. -fM 1 Luck Bill Bybee, Amarillo hurler, is Still! plagued with bad luck.

The first game, scheduled for the sixth Lackey May Not Play It is doubtful if Lester Lackey, Fish shortstop from Stephenville, will start in tomorrow’s contest, but it is certain that he will see some service, even if its a second. Coach Andrews said that he will use Lackey there until his frac tured finger ill healed. Regular outfielders Farmer, Mills, and Lary will probably start for the Ag frashman. Herbert McJunkin a Dallas Frog, from Highland Park, will prob ably see some action as an out fielder.

Johnson Is eo-hioldor of the meet's dash record | of 6.2 seconds with several runners. NOT MUCH THERE Is the opinion of Floyd Henk, member of the bowling team, as he examines the throwing arm of Price Smith, manager of The Cave. Smith will be on the profs-empioyees team which will compete with the bowling team tonight in the “Y.” There will also be a match series between the second squad and some of the top non-members in school.

Golfers LONDON—If Henry Cotton and a company of British golfers can’t stop the Americans in the next Ryder Cup match, maybe a lake will. The British are going to try a liquid obstacle. An artificial lake will be dug at the Canton Golf Club course near here before the Yank pros come over to defend the Ryder Cup Sep tember 16 and 17. It’s part of a big operation that includes length ening the links 100 yards and re constructing the 14th hole. Explanation for the big divot is td provide a reservoir for water to irrigate the course, and, inciden tally, a hazard for the fifth and sixth holes. Sevex-al other reasons are obvi ous. (A) It will be a convenient pool for the losing captaiivto jump into. (B) It will be a place where a player taking an 80, can chuck his sack of unfaithful sticks and pre cipitate an “incident." The lake will keep the links in the moist condition desired by all golfers. \ v Two miles of pipe will carry water to every fairway, green and toe. The fairways will be doused by traveling machines that cover a awath 60 yards wide. Canton will he the first course in Britain to have such a compre hensive sprinkling system. Bjut then in a country where it rains so much, ariyway, It hasn't really be|en oomridered necessary. Necessary, that is, until now, The British would move a moun tain to gain revenge for that H to I shellacking at i'ortland, Ore, In 1947, hulls which weren't strikes. To prove; this wasn't an accident, Lunceford hit n 247 line a few minutes later. He started this gattie off with six straight strikes but made a miss and a spare later on. He averaged 213 in five games, rnt’king up scores of 259, 167, 20(1, lob, and 247. Minutes after Lunceford bowled his 267 game, Claude Lee hit a 256 game on the next alley. After five straight strike*, Let* left a svvon- pin standing and got a spare in the ninth before striking out. Ordinarily, Lee would have qual ified for the high score of the month, week, or day. But he picked the wrong day to get hot, for Lunceford; now hogs the honor board in the alley. ★ j] i A team composed of profs, and employees will duel the third squad of the bowling team tonight at 7:30. Leading the list will.be Harry Kidd, of the English Department. Also on the squad list are Price Smith, manager of! The C«ve, Cooper Carl, C. W. Leverton, and Charles Yantis, or N. P. Holleman. Visitors are invited to watch this match tonight. 'With the first team slated to lie idle, the second team will compete against five of the top school bow lers who are not on the beam. Larry Bernhardt, Cliff Hodge, and Bob Weaver have been selec ted with Dick . Lyons, Gene Eth ridge, Bob McCall and Bill Chappci alternates. A match with Texas University here is tenativcly scheduled for this week-end.
