F-T Aggie Wal Meet Texi . it--- ; I. - ' The undefeated Aggie Wat-' ■ er Polq Team will take to the . water againat outside compe tition for the first time this season when it meets the Uhi- vmity Aquatic Club, better known as the Tewe University team, in Austin Thursday night. Texas has never defeated A AM in this eport. This year will mark the fifteenth [season of competition foir Aggie Coach Art Adamson’s team. In "those fifteen . seasons, Adamson’s teams Have never lost a game to a team from another Southwest Con ference school and only twice have they mot defeat at all, In 2938, the national champion Northwestern team outscored the Farmer tankmen and in 1940, the University of Illinois slipped by them for a win. These are the only two collegiate teams which have defeated Aggie water polo teams in the history of the sport at A&M. Not Recognizedi - -Water polo has yet to be recog nized as a conference sport by the Southwest Conference commit tee and at present is being carried on by only three of the Conference schools, A&M, Texas, and Baylor. This is the first of two games scheduled between A&M and Texas teams. A return match will be played in Downs Natatorium on November 22nd. These two matches will decide the unofficial championship between A&M and Texas. The Aggies team this year is made up to two seniors and sfive sophomores. As the roster stands now, Fleming, Karow, Adamson, McKinsie, Comstock, Ellis, and Sar gent will get Adamson’s nod to staft against the. Texas team to morrow night. Tha Texas team this year is made up of graduate as well as undergraduate students. Coach Tex Robertton of Texas even plans to use as one of his team members, Bob Tarlton, conference b a ck - stroke champion back in 1938.' The probable starting team for • Texas tomorrow night will be Hill, Smith, Wilson, Anderson, Pryer, f Tolar, and Tarlton.

' : ’r-v \| ^KEYPARK JEWEL i;iJr?Main : :v V Why don’t the little guys ever »t chance to achieve conference recognition ? The answer to this oft! asked question should be—“They; will" -f-now that the Sports Association for Men has been created. This as sociation has been contemplated for a year, but it wasn’t until October 18 that the intramural di rectors of the various SWC schools [ot together for a discussion here College Station and made tenta tive plans for competition between tne loop. schools in recreational arts. The association’s purpose is to promote interest and participation in non-intercollegiate sports at the colleges and to secure extra-mural dompetition. [i Club-Sponsored Sports The association is made up of jubs, one for each sport. Includ- d are the team sports of softball, blleyball, soccer, hatidball, bad- inton, squash, bowling, weight [ifting, wrestling, and tumbling, he billiards clubs at thedifferent L’hools are being organized and he game of pocket billiards will e included. Interest in the extra-mural ath- tics has spread to most confer- Ince schools; and there is a possi- ility of determining conference ihampions in the sports. Interest came to a focus when the 24 leaders of physical educa tion met last month. All seven schools in the conference indicated would like to be includ- the program. Whitaker Leads Talks Berry Whitaker, Director o^ In- Jramural Athletics at Texas, led ihe discussion vhen . the leaders met in October; Although the group took no formal action, the representative seemed to be in general agreement on the follow ing points: 1. That a great need definitely jexists in the field between Intra mural sports and intercollegiate athletics. .• 2. That activities in this field include badminton, bowling, gym nastics, handball, softball, table tennis, volleyball, water polo, weight lifting and probably others. 3. That competition in these sports, between the schools in the conference, 1 was not only highly desirable but entirely feasible both on a tournament and on a home and Home basis. 4. That live must guard against the ever present jiossibility of lover epiphasis. j “ That a proper balance would lie to pay for th£ transportation of the club on a basts]ofor 6>- per car, per mile, where/funds are avail able, hut not to attempt, to pay for meals and/lodgings of, the par ticipants.

Line play was sufficiently note worthy in the Owl fray to offer a number of candidates for The Battalion lineman honor. Dorbandt Barton, defensive end; Bob Bates, ■r [ been se- defensive Renter-linebacker; and Ag Fish, Texas Shorthorns To |p ■ i Meet Saturday The two most prolific fresh man scoring teams in the Southwest Conference, the Shorthorns of University of Texas and the Aggie Fish of Texas A&M, will get together in Austin Saturday afternoon. And a check qf the two teams’ record indicates that the real win- ners will’ be the fans who turn but for the football battle and the Crippled Children’s Hospital, which will get proceeds froYn the gate. An offensive battle is in the offing. These two clubs have a lot in common. They each have 2-2 rec ords. They each were nosed out by the TCU Wogs and they each whip ped the Rice Fish soundly. The Shorthorns have rolled up 12 touchdowns and the Aggie Fish have tallied ten TDs. The Aggie Fish have been an unpredictable club. They beat Weatherford JC, 28-13; muffed four scoring opportunities and fell to Baylor’s Cubs, 0-13; were nosed out by the TCU Wogs, 21-19, then thrashed the Rice Owlets, 20-0. Most observers agreed that the Aggie Fish played their best game of the seaosn last week against Rice, and if they can take it from there, the charges of Coaches Mar ion Pugh and Milton Routt should give the star-studded Shorthorn crew quite a jtussle come Satur day. guard, wjerq all con sidered for the award.’ Molbcrg, if he keeps gaining lit ■b his present rate, will noon' jump to the monstrous class. Molberg, junior business major from Fredericksburg, Weighed 186 pounds his senior year in high school. His first season at A&M with the Fish in 1947 the /cales read 180 when Molberg looked a second time. Then, at the beginning of last season he jumped up an other ten pounds. Now the five foot, eleven Incher tips the scales' at 195. Leading his team from the full back slot in high school, : Mol berg powered his way into an all district berth three consecutive years and AH-Central Texas his third season. South All-Star However, la player sa it was felt-Uhat where w a great; deal of ac tion on both offense and defense, he merited an edge over the solely offensive or defensive performer. Copeland during the Second and third quarters was in the game all iof the time. He entered the game. the first time the Ags had the ball on the attack. T The 176-pound former Waco Ti ger patrolled his end of the line on defense 'like a bearcat—in fact, the terminal play of Copeland and ton Was! Barton was| the best defensive work the Aggies have had ii| some time. On the offense Copeland teamed with Wray I Whittaker to catch the areials tossed by Gardemal, Cash- iop, and Nicholas for good yardage. The Wacogn gained 34 yards on four receptions of tosses. While a freshman Copeland started fori the Fish, and last year as a varsity end he won consider- lahle recognition among sports ob servers: He was nominated for Southwfeste|rn Lineman jof the Week and also for the weekly national line award on the basis of his play against TCU. i Besides Jbeing listed as one of the outstanding sophomores of the year in a national poll, Copeland received honorable mention on the United Press All-SWC selection in ’48- | ! ? . He teamed with Kyle Rote, Ver non Glass, and Sonny Wyatt in the North-South game in ’47, being picked on the All-Star squad that year. In the same game, playing for the North, were Shug Mc Pherson, ’47 Fish quarterback star, and Dorbandt aBrton, Aggie end who played a whale of a defensive game against the Owls last Sat urday.

He classifies Rice as the secoqd'strongest team. “They really hit hard,” said Mol berg.
