Aggies Out to Ride Mustang
Saturday Night in De Ware
A&M’s basketball team which
has dropped its last five games in
row will try to ride the SMU Mus-
tanags on the hardwmods of De-
Ware Field House Saturday night
at eight p. m.
Coach John Floyd’s cage crew is
in the depths of a slump which
has cost them their last four con
ference games and has dropped
them from a tie for second place
to a tie for fourth place.
SMU’s hoopsters which lost the
services of their star player, Dar
rell Murphy, at mid-semester, ap
parently haven’t missed him, as
they have beaten Baylor and Ar
kansas since that time.
Baylor and Arkansas have scor
ed victories over the Aggies after
their loss to the Mustangs.
Last time the Cadets and the
Ponies met the SMU lads came out
on the long end of the score 40-
34. Jewell McDowell w r as high
point man for the Farmers in this
encounter, with 13 points.
In their last game to date, the
SMU cagers lost to the Longhorns
from Texas-University, £>7-49, but
led the Steers the first two per
iods and were ahead at the inter
mission, 26-25.
Starting at 6 p. m. the SMU
Colts wilt tangle with the Aggie
Fish w'ho have about the same kind
of luck as the varsity lately.
The Colts bowed to the Baylor
Cubs, 53-44 while the Fish lost
to the Cubs, 48-30.
Cadet Fencers Set
For Dueling Season
A&M’s fencing team is in top
shape for . the 1952 season of
Southwestern Conference competi
tion with Captain Johnny Gottlob
sparking the dueling Aggies.
Chuck, Massey, Bobby Jones and
Ted Fields along with Gottlob
compose the roster of returning
lettermen.
The' Southwestern* Conference
fencing tournament will be held
May 2 and 3 in College Station
under the . auspices of National
Collegiate Association. On May
3 and 4, immediately following the
SWC meet, the Amateur Fencing
League of America toumey will
commence.
All varsity feneemen are mem
bers of the AFLA.
According to Lt. Col. Vadcn,
the sabre dueling is the weakest
point of the Aggies with the most
strength in epee. Considerable
strength is also noted in the foil
game.
Rice should give the stiffest
competition in SWC duels with
the University of Texas holding
the position of dark horse.

Varsity, Fish Swimmers
Tangle with SMU Here]
Whitey Holm, the Ponies blond
pivot man, is co-captain for the
Mustang quintet and is one of the
high scorers on the team.
Forward, Jack Krastman, is a
junior and has developed into one
of the big guns of the SMU at
tack. The other co-captain,’ Fred
Freeman, alternates at forward
and guard and was the high scorer
on last years Mustang cage squad.
Charles Galey and Henry Wheel
er, are the guards for the SMU
hardwooders and handle the ball
(See A&M - SMU, Page 4)
Saturday will see a lot of SMU
athletes on the A&M campus as
the Mustangs are bringing down
varsity and freshman swimming
and basketball teams.
A meet between the Aggie
freshman swimmers and the Colt
swimmers will start the ball roll
ing at 2 p. m. in the Natatorium.
Aggie Fish mermen have not
had a meet this year and the Colts
should provide competition which
will give them a good test.
The freshman swimmers will
swim under interscholastic rules,
which means they will not swim
further than 200 yards, each man
can enter only two events and the
diving will be from the low board.
Weick Captain
A team captain was elected by
the Aggie freshmen yesterday af
ternoon, he is Dickie Weick, who
won the state high school breast
stroke championship last year.
Aggie Ffsh swimming freestyle
are John Spiech, Jimmy Allen,
Franklin Gajewsky, Lee Pepping,
R. A. Rogers.
Albert Love, Edward McKinnon,
Young Smith, John Gray, and John
Beuletschies.
Divers for the Cadet first year
men are Don Demming, and Emory
McWhorter.
In the breast stroke class for
the Farmers are Weick, John
Crowe, Walter Allen, and in the
back stroke are Winne Smoots,
William Liebens, and John Daven
port.
“I feel like we have a good
freshman team,” said Swimming
coach Art Adamson, “potentially
some of the boys are very good.”
Varsity Underdogs
At four the varsity’s will dive
off for their dual meet and the
Aggie mermen are rated under
dogs because of the fact that the
Ponies won the conference relays
held in Austin, earlier in the year.
Aggies hopes were dashed fur
ther when it was learned that
Ralph Ellis, senior letterman on
the squad, would probably not be
able to swim against SMU be
cause of a kidney, infection.
Shorthanded
“We were shorthanded before,”
coach Adamson remarked, “and
with Ellis out, it will hurt us a
lot, especially in the sprints,”
Spiking the Aggie swimmers
will be Van Adamson, Conference
Individual Medley Champion. Help
ing Adamson will be lettermen,
John Parnell, Tommy Comstock,
Don Blundell and Bill Sargent.

Ever g@ "over the side”?
!t isn’t easy with the roll of the transport
and the clumsy sway of your heavy full field pack. And, at
the foot of the landing net, the risky drop into the cold,
crowded landing craft bobbing in the choppy sea.
Then, finally there’s the tense, terrible run toward an angry
beach and a destiny you cannot even guess.
It’s all very serious and dangerous and hard. Yet thousands
of American youngsters have done it-and are ready to do
it again, if need be, in defense of our country and yon.
But defense is your job, too. And you can do your job, in an
important way, by buying U.S. Defense Bonds.
For these bonds make you and your family secure at home.
They provide the economic stability that’s needed behind our
effective military power. And they help keep America at
peace because they help make America strong...in a world
where peace is only for the strong.
So, for the sake of the boys on the landing nets—and for your
oivn family’s security—invest your savings in United States
Defense Bonds now!
The U. S. Defense Bonds you buy
give you personal financial independence
Don’t forget that bonds are now a better buy than ever.
Because now every Series E Bond you own can automati
cally go on earning interest every year for 20 years from
date of purchase instead of 10 as before! This means that
the bond you bought for $18.75 can return you not just
$25-but as much as $33.33! A $37.50 bond pays $66.66.
And so on. For your security, and your country’s too, buy
U. S. Defense Bonds now! Bankers recommend them as
one of the safest forms of investment.
PEACE IS FOR THE STRONG...
BLY U.S. DEFENSE BONDS NOW. r
