Bell first gained Aggie notoriety in 1931 when he won a SWC championship from Texas with a home run in the ninth. Bell guided his boys the hard way, after they trailed by three games. Henry Candelari ... is another All-SWC Aggie. Better known as Hank or Yogi, the speedy little fellow has been playing just about the best de fensive ball in the conference. Batting at .231, Candelari will be a sure-shot for his teammates in the NCAA District 6 playoff. 4 Hubert Versus Risher in First Dist. 6 Battle Tuscon, May 23—(/P)—Ari zona and Texas Aggies collide in the first game of best of three series Wednesday to de termine which team will rep resent District 6 in the NCAA baseball tournament.

Three-Time Loser Arraigned in Bribe Los Angeles, Calif., May 23—(A 3 ) —Albert R. Scroggins, ex-jockey’s agent with a record of thirty ar rests on bookmaking charges, was fined $3,500 Tuesday for trying to fix a championship basketball game between Southern California and UCLA.

Richards said that although he wanted to crack down on fixed of college games, no money passed between Scroggins, 31, ex-para trooper, and Flower. So the jurist imposed only a fine, He could have been sentenced to five years in prison. Ag Sports Viewed By Athlete’s Wives By VIVIAN CASTLEBERRY Battalion Women’s Editor Apparently a whole slew of red-blooded sports-minded American males have married an equal number of damsels who care not one whit about games—any kind of games. Or, so it would seem if one is to take the gripes of Col lege wives to heart. It is one thing for a man to be really serious about his sport. It is quite another thing if he merely dables in it for pleasure. Take such student wives as Margaret Davis, who is the wife of star basketballer, Buddy Davis, or Darrow Hooper’s wife, Jeanine, or Jewell Hodge, whose husband, Charlie is a mainstay on the football team, or Colleen Flowers, whose husband Jim excels at a number of sports. You never hear a peep out of those girls. They married athletes. They knew it at the time and the only complaint you ever get from them comes when their husbands didn’t •win-the pennant. . . . But iRs-quite.another story when it comes to the game to deter mine the championship of the last half of C Row Even in the College View Tiddlewihks Tourney. For some reason the wives out there (and, we understand the wives in Vet Village, the project houses and town wives) feel very strongly that such shenanigans are out of place while the roast beef cools to a leathery unpalatable mess. While friend husband is trying to steal second, his wife is home where she has been all day wrangling with both the kids, while she has washed an even 1,296 dishes (hot counting baby bottles and sil verware), has put out two washings, made two beds, cooked three meals (the last one cooling on the table while both kids scream to eat) and has done numerous other tasks that come under the general heading of “housework.” And Then There Was One One married student we know slipped out of the maternity ward of a local hospital long enough to help his team cop the championship. He got back just in time to hear his daughter’s first cry. Another fellow let his pretty wife—all dressed up, too—cool her heels for an hour and a half on their an niversary while he battled it out with his teammates on the local baseball diamond. The wives in my neighborhood are mostly resigned. For two years Betty Drake sat home with small Cydnie, let the food grow cold and the temper grow short while Paschal played ball. Now, on a sunny Spring afternoon, the three of them can be seen headed for the ball park. While Pop plays, Betty and Cydnie com prise his best cheering section. Ida Munson has given up on Roy, too. And when Mary Ann Lester can’t go along with Jimmy, she looks for him only when she sees him home again.
