Also, TU’s combination of Tolar, Hoff and Wilson is expected to emerge with the 400-yard laui-els, with SMU classed as only close competition. ■ Ralph Ellis Swim Captain ‘Casey Stengel Best Except For Connie Mack’--Ty Cobb New York, March 20—(TP)—Ex cept for Connie Mack, Casey Sten gel of the Yankees is the greatest manager in baseball history—or at least tied with John McGraw for that honor. That opinion is expressed by Ty Cobb, one of the greatest of all- time ball players, in an article which opened last week with the assertion that no modem player expect Phil Rizzuto and Stan Mus- ial could be considei’ed equal to the old-time stars, Cobb takes the managers over the hurdles. Cobb—himself a f ormer manager —criticizes Stengel for hit two- platoon system—(“that’s one form of modern 'percentage’ play which is strictly hokum”—) but praises his strategy and his handling of players. “The only thing that Stengel has, and McGraw had, is the ad vantage of a lot of money and a front office willing to buy any ex perienced player needed by the team,” Cobb adds. “Mi\ Mack nev er had any money and had to 1 de velop his own playei-s; he was the greatest manager ever known.” BUY, SKX.L, RENT OR TRADE.

Tennis Team Plans For ACC Match The Ag-gie Tennis Team will slam into Abilene Christian College here at 8:30 p. m. Sat urday, March 22. A&M lost a hard fought battle four to two to the University of Houston on all sports day last Saturday. Coach W. M. Dowell stated that the team line-up would probably remain the same as last time. At the present Coach Dowell believes that all the members of the team will receive active duty before the contest is over. If no changes are made, Royce Tate, Gene Letsos, R. G. DeBerry, Ken Wagstaff, and Tommy West will do their gymnastics in the singles department, with Tate, Let sos, West, and DeBerry in the doubles. Although the Varsity team will schedule their matches Saturday, the freshmen netters will probabiy hold their scrimmage on Friday afternoon, March 21. Coach Dowell announced today that the Aggie Tennis Team will play host $o Miami University, who boasts of one of the strongest tennis teams in the nation, May 3. He continued to say that Miami’s team will probably be the best ever to play at A&M. Brooks Cut Six Men Vero Beach, Fla., March 21—(IP) —Manager Charley Dressen swung the axe tonight and cut six names from the Brooklyn Dodger squad. Jack Banta, Jim Russell, Art Fab- bro, Joe Landrum, Dick Teed and Bill Antonello will all be left here when the Brooks leave for Tampa tomorrow to play the Reds. TCU Beats OU; SMU Raps HSU TCU snapped a 5-game los ing streak at the expense of NCAA champion Oklahoma in a nonconference baseball game in Fort Worth Wednesday. The Frogs pounded three Sooner hurlers for eighteen hits and a 17- 3 shellacking. The SMU Mustangs were also victorious yesterday by beating the Hardin-Simmons Cowboys 7-5. A three-run blast in the eighth put the same on ice for SMU. TCU won the Sooners’ season opener, but ended a 13-game win ning streak for themselves that began the middle of last season as they marched to Big Seven and NCAA titles. Trackmen Travel to Houston; Clash with Rice, TU in Meet By RAY HOLBROOK Battalion Sports Writer Houston track fans will get a chance to see the all-winning Ag gie track team in action this Sat urday at Rice field when the Owls play host to the Cadets and TU. This will be the second time in as many weeks that these three schools have gotten together, hav ing met on Kyle Field for last Saturday’s Sports Day with the powerful Aggies victors by the huge margin of 101 to 58 for the Longhorns and only 11 for under manned Rice Owls. The Owls might have a little better luck on their home field Ag Basehallers Set For Oh io State Nine A&M and Ohio State will re new their rivalry on the varsity diamond at 3 p. m. this afternoon in the first of a three-game series. The Buckeyes will pick up where they left off last year. They also met the Cadets in a post-season play-off for NCAA honors in Omaha, Neb., last June with the Aggies winning 3-2. Ohio State Starters Ohio State coach Marty Karow probably will start Ed Bohnslav, Paul Williams and Davie Bechtel in each of the games as his pitcher. Their relief is expected to come from eight other moundsmen list ed on the Buckeye roster. Behind the plate will be Jack Gannon, junior lettermen with re lief coming in the form of Bill Wisler, up from the B-team. Infielders probably will be Bill Sachs at first base, Dave Leonard at second, Jack Jones at shortstop with Charles Brontlinger or Bob Blanchard at third. Outfielders will be either Dick Ernest or Harry Rutter in right, Stewart Henin in center and Jim Corn in left. Inexperienced Squad The Buckeyes are a young squad with inexperienced sophomores and freshmen in the vital infield and outfield positions. Only the mound corps lists any sort of experience with the exception of Hein, a two- numeral winner in center field. Coach Bell will rely on some old returnees of last year. Back are men like Yale Lary, A1 Ogletree, Hank Candelari, Joe Ecrette, Bill Munnerlyn and Bob Tankersley. Aggie Lineup Rounding out the possible lineup for the Aggies will be Charlie Russel and Carl Menger with Lary in the outfield.

Either Ogletree or Martin Ham ilton will get the starting nod be hind the mask. The starting pitcher will come from the group composed of Mel- but it is doubtful if they boost their total to more than 15 or 20 points. Texas on the other hand will be trying to get a little closer to the strong Maroon and White track- sters who are heavy favorites to annex their 14th straight win. It is not likely that A&M will ellipse the 101 points of last week but competition is so strong among the team members that the Aggies are due for a letdown yet although there is a likelihood of one in the latter part of April when they have two more meets with the Steers. Favorites to win the ten first of last Saturday for the Aggies again this week are Darrow Hoop er, undefeated shot and discus spe- A&M Fencers Place Second A&M’s fencing team slash ed its way_ into second place Saturday in the Galveston Tournament. The team’s year old jinx caught up in the final minutes of the contest, causing them to lose by only one match. A&M out paried teams from Rice, Corpus Christi, Corpus Chris- ti Naval Station, and a Houston Composite team. The Aggies lost five to four to Galveston after being tied four to four in the final minutes of the contest. Captain of the team, John Gott lob who finished the Galveston meet with a nearly perfect score of eight won, one lost, stated that the Aggies should win the confer ence. The fencing team meet their next victims in the Foil Tournament ' March 29 in Houston. cialist; Bobby Ragsdale, the SWC leading broad jumper and also un defeated; either Buddy Davis or Don Graves in the high jump, and Glenn Spradlin or Malcolm Marks on the pole vault. Track winners for Col. Andy’s cinder stars should include Ed Wilmsen or J. A. Terry, the mutt and jeff 880 twosome, either soph omore Jim Blaine or John Gar- many in the mile run and 2-mile Charles Hudgins. Rice’s Henry Winston is expect ed to give Hudgins a rough time in the stretch. Sure Cadet Winner An Aggies horse race in the 440-dash with the winner any of three Aggies. James Baker, John DeWitt, or Bob Mays could win. Baker is the slight favorite after his fine 48.4 last week. The Cadet’s mile relay team should win handily. Texas stars will be led again by their outstanding sophomore sprinters Charley Thomas, last Saturday’s high point man, and Dean Smith. Hurdlers Ralph Per son and Bill Vails are also due to win along with their basketball javelin thrower, Don Klein. Point totals for the Cadets should run about 90 for the Ag gies with TU following with 60 or 65. However, if the Cadets should drop to 80 or so you can figure they have their eyes set on several relay titles in the two weeks since, Texas Relays, the na tions first major relay carnival.
