Davis, Hooper
Take Places In
Modesto Relays
A&M’s two wandering track
stars, Walter “Buddy” Davis
and Darrow Hooper have re
turned from their California
trip with a share of the top
honors wrested from some of the
outstanding stars in the country.
Davis won first place in the Los
Angeles Coliseum Relays high
jump event Friday night with a
leap of 6-6 and then Sunday at
Modesto, Calif., tied for third with
two others by leaping a mediocre
6-4 in the 10th Annual California
Relays.
Weight-star Hooper placed
fourth in the shot at the Friday
night meet with a heave of 54-6%
and won third Sunday with a toss
of 53-41/2.
A new intercollegiate record
was established in the javelin
event when Bill Miller of Ariz
ona State whipped the spear 237-
10 to surpass the 234-3% set by
Bob Peoples of Southern Califor
nia in 1941.
Even with this fine toss, he fail
ed to win the event as Cy Young,
representing the Los Angeles Ath
letic Club chunked the javelin a
mighty 241-11. This mark has been
exceeded only by a toss of 248-10,
held by Dr. Steve Seymour.
Dick Attlesey of the Los Angeles
Athletic Club set a new mark in
the 120 yard high hurdles with a
fleet 13.6. He had just established
a new mark of 13.8 in the prelim
inaries.
Hooper failed to place in the
discus throw which was won by
Dick Doyle, representing the Mon
tana AC, Missoula, Mont., with a
toss of 165-10 %.
75th Is Gold Year
By FRED WALKER
Battalion Sports Editor
“It is a melancholy object to those who walk through this
great town or travel in the country, whfen they see the strets,
the roads, and cabin doors, crowded with beggars of the fe
male sex, followed by three, four, or six
(coaches), all in rags and importuning every
passenger for an alms.
“These mothers, instead of being able
to work for their honest livelihood, are forced
to emplay all their time in strolling to beg
sustenance for their helpless infants: who as
they grow up either turn thieves for want of
work, or leave their dear native country to
fight for the pretender in (Austin), or sell
themselves to the (dollar).
My apologies to Johnathan Swift' (God
rest his soul!) for this harmless bit of play
ful plagarism, but I couldn’t but notice how
strikingly similar was his “Modest Proposal” to coaching
situations of years past.
The main difference was, however, that there weren’t
many of them begging on the streets, for all they had to do
was turn out poor teams with good material and sit back and
wait for the rich alumni to buy up their contracts. 1
We have no such proposal as did Mr. Swift. In the first
place, the wheels in Aggie sports circles are turning quite
well without emitting any horrible squeaks. In the second
place, I can’t conceive a tough old campaigner like Col. Andy,
a lean strong John Floyd, a big rugged Beau Bell or a Rocky
Mountain range like Ray George with an apple in his mouth.
What does all this gibberish mean? It darn well means
that the lean times are definitely over (At least for a while)
for Aggieland sports.
Who’s Floyd?
Back in September an unknown name, John Floyd,
very quietly made his way across A&M’s campus for the
first time. “Who in the devil is John Floyd,” the wolves
howled. (Wolves here does not mean A&M alumni as Jinx
Tucker would have you believe. This word is used to in
clude all skeptics and infidels.)
Six months later (March 13th) the same Floyd could
have asked for and gotten the MSC, Fort Knox, America’s
supply of atom bombs or a letter from Harry Truman. In
five short months, Floyd had changed the entire system of
Aggie basketball style and whipped out 45 years (Twenty-
eight on the title and 17 in Austin) of field goal misery
with an Aggie game in Austin.
And like any man with a grain of sense, he said the
credit belonged to his “boys”. Make it 50-50 J.F. and
we’ll call it even.
A Bell for A&M
And then there was an Aggie-Ex that strolled across a not-un-
familiar campus last January. R. C. “Beau” Bell pleased the grum
blers. He was an Aggie and an ex-pro from the St. Louis Browns and
two or three other American League clubs.
Now, at this very moment, Bell and his charges are facing (Or it
might be over.) a potent Arizona Wildcat nine in Tucson in the National
Collegiate Athletic Association playoffs.
And what manner of man is this?
He seems to be a lot of man. It started in 1931 when Beau slam
med a homer against jolly old Texas to give A&M a Southwest Con
ference baseball title.
Six years later he hit .340 for the Brownies and lead the league
in doubles. His team here this year started with a cross on the button
from Baylor and dropped a couple more while a seemingly unbeatable
Longhorn crew was still flexing its muscles.
Barbecue to Fete
Mural Managers
There will be an Intramural
Managers’ Barbecue tonight at
6 in the Grove. All managers
are requested to attend.
Athletic officers who have
not turned in all Intramural
athletic equipment are urged to
do so immediately in the Of
fice of Student Activities.
“Beat Baylor twice? You’re
nuts?” Jt was nothing, real
ly; 9-to-0 and 12-to-6. ‘Well,
we should take Rice.” And that
was that “Tie for the title?
BEAT TEXAS TWO GAMES
IN A ROW?” Well, no mat
ter what anyone else thought,
Bell and a group of Aggie
baseball players had another
idea.
Texas spent most of Thurs
day and Friday embarrasedlj
clutching their orange panties
which were being gleefully
taken from them. Can Beau
and the boys do the same to
Arizona? You’ll have to wait
for that one.
And then there was another . . .
shall we say a mountain with a
child’s smile? He weighs 263 and
smiles like the Mona Lisa. That’s
a man named Ray George who
hasn’t ever won a ball game for
A&M but has every austere and
dignified Aggie—ready to lead yell
practice.
Tell anyone he’s talked to that
A&M won’t be a champion this Fall
and you’ll probably get a slap in
the kisser. Jolson couldn’t have
laid them in the aisles any faster
at A&M.
But don’t forget a newly con
verted business man in Houston.
Harry Stiteler? That’s right. For

versity of Arizona to determine

Bryan Takes
First Blind
Bogey Meet
Travis Bryan, Jr. of Bryan won
the first flight of the Blind Bogey
golf tournament Sunday with an
18 hole score of 71.
Carlton “Tiny” Hill, with a hand
icap of 8, won low net with a 68
while Sam Gardner copped the
runner-up’s position for low net
in the first flight. He came in with
an 85 and with a bogey handicap of
14, it gave him a net of 71.
In the second flight, A. W. Don
aldson won low gross of 84. B. E.
Jordan with an 87-18 took top low
net honors with a 69. Col. Whitney
was second to Jordan with an 85-
14 for 71.
Chuck Laakso and J. Slaughter,
each with 98’s tied for top honors
for low gross in the third flight.
Winner of low net was L. R. Callo
way with 103-32 for 71 with Tom
Ball coming in behind him with
108-36 for a 72.
The winners were awarded golf
balls as prizes.
In case you’re wondering just
how this thing works—here’s a
brief explanation.
Each player plays 18 holes, turns
in his score to the judge who adds
the score on a certain number of
holes—in this case nine—chosen
at random from the 18 on the
course.
From this total, he subtracts
the par for the holes and the re
sultant figure is then doubled and
subtracted from the gross score on
the entire 18. This gives the low
net and from this, the winners are
determined.

half of the ninth inning home run
to break a 7-7 tie and give the
Aggies an 8-7 victory. The series
was evened the next days as the
Comets won 2-1.
Next opposition for the SWC- co
champs was the University of
Houston. In a close game, the Ag
gies emerged victorious with a 3-1
victory as Pat Hubert and Ernie
Johnson scattered 5 hits very ef
fectively.
Again, the U of H furnished
competition for the forces of
“Beau” Bell. This time, playing in
Houston, the Cougars tripped the
Aggies 7-3.
In a wild-scoring affair led by
team captain and again first choice
for SWC shortstop honors Guy
Wallace and Jimmy Russell, the
Cadets mauled the Sam Houston
Bearkats of Huntsville 16-8. Wal
lace contributed two four-masters
and Russell one as the twosome
teamed up to drive in nine of the
Aggies runs.
The Aggies next went to San
Antonio to pay a return visit to
the Comets and spit a pair. They
entered the series with the Golden
Gophers of Minnesota with a 4
won-3 lost record.
Hubert’s No-Hitter
Hubert realized pitchers-
dream-come-true as he was in per
fect form for the first game of a
double-header with the Gophers.
He set the boys from the North
down without a hit as the Aggies
won 2-0 only to drop the second
game 1-0.
The Aggies record rose to 6-4
following their win from the El
Dorado Oilers of the Cotton States
League, 7-4.
Baylor’s Bears tripped the Farm
ers in the first conference game
3-2 to give Hubert his only loss
for the season, but he, as well as
