SPORTS
THUAS., NOV. 10, 1949Page 5
The sound of battle will resou
tomorrow amid the otherwise peace
ful observance of Armistice Day
as the Fish gridders launch an at
tack on the Rice Slimes at 2 p. m.
in Houston.
The Slimes were defeated by a
strong TU Shorthorn squad, but
are still rated high and will be
favored in tHe contest. However,
we feel, for a dissenting vote, that
the Ags are plenty potent. And if
they are high, and the breaks are
even, there is not a team in the
race that is better.
True, the two losses to Baylor
and TCU would seem to refute this
conjecture, but both games could
have gode either way and were
not decided until the very last in
both clashes.
Some Men Missing
The Fish have lost some key
players, but the squad as a whole
has gained experience and the
coaches have had time to observe
each man and pick the most effec
tive performers. The line,
weakened by'the loss
Reese, and Pirotjna, is big and
and the men in the forward slots
want to play.

Texas Aquatic
Gub First On
Aggie Schedule
Aggielands’ water polo team,
consisting mostly of sophomores,
will enter its fifteenth undefeated
season in conference play, when
the Ag aquatic experts meet the
Texas Aquatic Club November
17th. in Austin.
Coach Art Adamson is starting
his fifteenth season as water polo
coach, during which time his squad
has- suffered only two defeats at
the hinds of other college teams,
Back in 1940 the University
of Illinois beat the Aggies by a
slim margin. A national champion
Northwestern team outacored the
Farmers in a rough and tough game
in ’38. These are the only two col
legiate teams to whom the Cadets
have fallen in the history of water
polb at this institution.
Last year was the first time
that *| the Southwest Conference
had a real league set up, and even
then it wasn’t an official confer
ence sport.
This year there seems to be some
trouble as far, as Texas University
is concerned, as to whom is eligi
ble to compete in the sport. Texas’
Coach Tex Robertson, it seems,
wants to use Bob Tarleton, con-
ference backstroke champion in
1938 on his aggregation, as well
as a ^few other graduate students.
1 Instead of the University of Tex
as Water,Polo team the Aggies will
complete against a team known as
up the Texas Aquatic Club but
made up of* graduate students as
well as undergraduate at T. U.
It seems that Tex Robertson
to ants to beat the Aggies so bad
that he is willing to rob some
of his talent from his TU team of
eleven years ago. The teasips have
never defeated an Aggie waterpolo
team and since the change, they
probably never will.
The Aggies, as present, have two
games scheduled, both of them be
ing with the Austin group. The
first game is to be played in Aus
tin November 17th. and the - re
maining tilt will be played here
November 22hd.
There is a possibility that the
Ag water ball boys will compete
in St. Louis against Washington
University of that town. Coach Art
Adamson shys that he will be glad
to schedule that game if others also
can be arranged.
Of the seven starters, only twor
are seniors, the rest being fnadc
up of last year’s freshman team.
As it stands now, Fleming, Ka-
row, Adamson, McKinsie, Corn-
stock, Ellis, and Sargent will get
the starting nod.
