These were the words of Billy Grimes Phillips concerning the 4-3 defeat the Aggie golfers handed Hardin Simmons here yesterday. What players he had in mind were Malcolm Douglass and Johnny Bar rett, the two top golfers on Coach Joe Pagan’s squad.

Aggie tank mentor Art Adam son disclosed that in view of Tech’s shortage of swimmers, in ter-scholastic instead of inter-col legiate rules will be used in Sat urday’s contest. The change in rules will aid Tech in that inter-scholastic rul ings call for a shorter distance to be swam in each event and limits the number of events any single swimmer may enter. Backstroke and breaststroke events, normally 200 yard races, will be shortened to 100 yards each while the freestyles are reduced to a 200 yard limit. Each member of the relay teams may swim only two lengths of the pool and no individual contestant may enter more than two events. The Aggie tankmen have won on ly two of the six events they have entered this season, these being double win over Northwestern of Louisiana. putts for 18 holes which was the | big reason he was one-under the A&M Course par of 71. Douglass combined brilliant shotmaking with sinking long- on£s when they counted and he came in with a 74 for a good afternoons work. Barrett Tops Phillips Barrett beat Phillips 4 and 3 while Douglass managed a 2 up win over Cowboy linksman Joe Black. In their doubles match, Barrett and Douglas shot five-un der par golf to sink Phillips and Black 3 and 2. A&M’s fourth point came when sophomore Homer Callaway squeezed past Carl Chambers 2 and 1. Callaway had a 75 to Chambers’ 76 for the 18 holes. In the other matches, A&M went down to defeat at the hands of long hitting Tommy Hale and short-iron artist George Smith. Hale, who was blasting the cover ; - , : 7 off the ball all afternoon, smoth- 1 ered Cadet Billy Baker 4 and 3. ‘ *' Smith took a win from Jess Fletcher by that same 4 and 3 margin. Smith had a 74, Hale a 73, Baker 78 and Fletcher 77. Hale and Smith trimmed Baker and Fletcher 2 and 1 in their doubles match as the Hale-Smith duo shot one-under par golf a best ball score. Aggies Pleased Barrett was highly elated over his putting streak. When contact ed late yesterday evening he was all smiles and it wasn’t hard to tell how he came out in his match. He was proud that he didn’t have a bad hole all day, althovigh he had two bogies during the after noons play. Douglass was similarly elated. He rapped in a couple of long putts when they meant birdies for him. He said he thought this had as much to do with his and Bar rett’s wins as any other single factor. •• “When you drop long putts, you seem to demoralize your oppen- ents,’’ Douglass said. Cadet Trackmen Race TU, Rice On Saturday By RAY HOLBROOK Battalion Sports Writer A&M will show off their big guns on the track field for the home folks this Saturday against the Texas Longhorns and Rice In stitute. Fresh from their third conse cutive Border Olympics win at Laredo with 60 points to runner up Oklahoma A&M and TU with 40, the Cadets will be pei-forming against their major opposition in the forthcoming SWC meet. The Aggies should win the meet handily having depth if not talent in every event but the sprint. The real battle will be a show Fish Wrestlers Carrying Aggie hopes for first, place low hurdle honors in Satur day’s meet against Rice and TU will be Billy Bless. Bless ran a 23.2 in this event at last year’s conference meet. His best time so for this year is 23.3. Fish Baseballers Play Blinn Friday ' Fisher of Company 8 throws a headlock on Harrington of the Fish Band in a Monday afternoon freshman intramural wrest ling bout. Fisher went on to pin Harrington and win the match. Preston Wins The Fish baseball team will leave for Brenham Friday at noon to play the Blinn Junior College team on its home field. The game, a return match, will begin at 2:30 p. m. Coach Wally Mobn of the Fish has most of the starting lineup al ready chosen and Ger-ald Nelson so far as his starting pitcher. Moon intends to use both Nelson and Joe Hardgrove on the mound Friday afternoon. Behind the plate, Moon will have Jim Williams and Dave Vei'ble. The rest of the lineup puts Hugh Byrd at first base, Sam Rawlond at second, Brownie Northrup at short, and Jimmie Parrish at third base. The outfield for Friday’s game has not been chosen except for 4 7” Club Meets Tonight ■ There will be a meeting of the “T” Association tonight at 8 p. m. in the C. E. Lectm-e room according _ to Jack Simpson, president. Fred Ablon, who will play center field. The right and left field spots will be unfilled until Friday, said Moon, and then one of the catch- ei-s, either Verble or Williams will play alternately in the field. With the afoi-ementioned infield ers covering the diamond and Ab lon in center, Moon considers him self lucky in having a sharp de fensive team. On the batting side of the lineup, the Fish are a little slow as yet, but have shown im mense improvement in the last few practice sessions, according to Moon. Parrish, Ablon, and Williams have all shown up well in the bat ters’ box as have other members of the team. Moon manager LeRoy Davis and 25 squadmen will make the trip to Blinn. Last Friday afternoon on Kyle Field, the Fish beat Blinn, 9-5, in their opening game of 1952 sea son. District 68-B Spring Meet Here Friday Playground softball and volley ball teams from eight district 68-B schools will hold their annual spring meet in College Station Friday. L. E. Boze, district chairman, an- noiinced the location of the meet has been changed from Bastrop to College Station with all games be ing played on Consolidated and Aggie diamonds and in the Grove. Playoffs begin at 10 a. m. Fri day. Senior playground ball games will take place on A&M diamonds 8, 9, and 10 while all volley ball games will be held at The Grove. Playgi-ound ball will be divided into both junior and senior events with boys’ and girls’ divisions in each event. Elementary playground ball will include both boys’ and girls' divisions. High school senior boys and girls will participate in the two volley ball events. Trophies and ribbons for the winning teams will be bought with the proceeds from concessions stands. Cups will be presented to winners in each division. of outitanding first place per formances to be exhibited by each team. Slated to win 10 events of the 16, the Farmer stars will be trying to keep the steers from winning more than the remaining six. Rice has but one good perform er, a 2-mile7 - , and is not expected to win 4 first place event while scaring probably less than 10 points. Leading the Aggies will be All- American Darrow Hooper, shot and discus specialist. Beat Own Record Hooper threw the shot 53 ft. 8 5/8 in. to beat his own record at Laredo last week, besides win ning the discus. He is expected to take both these events this week. Broad jumper Bobby Ragsdale, who tied the Border Olympic rec ord with 23 ft. 614 in., should win that event and be a strong con tender along with Aggies Billy Bless to upset Longhorn Ralph Person, the low hurdle favorite. 440-specialists Bob Mays, John DeWitt, and Jim Baker all of A&M should have another thrilling dual in the quarter. Another Aggie First May won at Laredo followed by Baker and DeWitt, however, De- Witt won against Houston two weeks ago. These three plus Buddy Schaffer, Jerry Steel or Frank Norris should easily rack up an other Aggie first. Halfmilers Ed Wilmsen and J. A. Terry should wage an all Cadet battle for first but milers Jim Blaine, John Garmany and Dale DeRouen will have good competi tion from Steer Otis Budd. Blaine is the favorite, finishing second to Oklahoma’s Fred Ech- koff in the Border meet last week. Aggies Charles Hudgins and Verlon Wesmorland will be pushed by Rice’s Henry Winston in the 2-mile but Hudgins looks like the winner. Cadet pole vaulters Don Graves, Glenn Spradlin, and Malcolm Marks will be contested b|y TU’s Joe Runnels but one of the Aggies will be fovared on their home field. With A&M’s ace high jumper, Buddy Davis rounding into top shape, that event looks like an other Ag first with Graves second i best.
