Spring football training was
postponed on account of rain yes
terday, but will start as soon as
the weather permits. Coach George
will still have 30 days for spring
training since he didn’t begin
drills. Once spring workouts be
gin they will have to be completed
within 30 days.
Down in coach George’s office
yesterday afternoon was one of the
best football
players to come
out of A&M . . .
Joel Hunt.
Hunt played
for the Aggies
during 1925, ’26
and ’27 and led
the Aggies to
the conference
championship in
’25 when lie
was a sopho
more and ’27
when he was a
Gus Becker
senior.
Hunt said he thought the ’27
eleven was the greatest team he
ever played with during his career.
The greatest game he played in
was in his senior year when the
Cadets beat the favorite, SMU and
Jerry Mann, 39 to 13 for the
crown.
After leaving Aggieland, Hunt
played professional baseball for
the Saint Louis Cardinals. Hunt
played three years for the Cardin
als and was with them when they
won the world series in 1931. While
with the Cardinals Hunt was a
teammate of “Pepper” Martin the
hero of the ’31 series and the fab
ulous “Dizzy” Dean. In fact “Old
Diz” was with Hunt when he was
with the Houston Buffs of the
Texas League, a Cardinal farm
flub.
Head track coach, Colonel An
derson, was Fish coach when
Hunt was a freshman and the
Fish “cleaned up”, that year,
according to colonel “Andy.”
“Hunt was the coolest ball-car
rier I ever saw,” reminesced
Colonel Anderson, “he never lost

his head and was always best
when the chips were down.”
“Every time I carried the ball I
was scared,” was Hunts only com
ment to Colonel Andy’s remark.
While at A&M, Hunts roommate
was J. L. “Siki” Sikes, head coach
of Kansas University.
Hunt tells this one about his
former roommate. It seems during
the 1927 East-West game, Hunt
was playing right half, Sikes was
playing right end and the great
TCU end, “Rags” Matthews was
playing left end. Before every
play “Rags” would stand up and
wave his hand at the opponents
and say “come around this end
you All-Americans.”
Hunt played right behind Sikes
on defense and he asked Sikes,
“Siki” why don’t you tell those
all-Americans to come around your
end?”
Sikes turned around and an
nounced, “not me, I’m going to
leave well enough alone.”
Hunt also tells one on Barlow
“Bones” Irvin, Athletic director
at A&M. When Irvin was a
sophomore the Aggies went to
play LSU and had to cross the
Mississippi river. The playes had
been kidding “Bones” about how
wide the river was, and that
boats took the whole train across
the river. Irvin wasn’t a regular
that season and was assigned an
upper berth.
During the night “Bones” had
a nightmare and fell from the
top berth yelling, “Save me!
Save me‘ I’m drowning.”
“I’m really glad that the new
substitution rule was passed,” Hunt
announced, “I think it will, give
the boys a better chance to show
their ability. Although I got most
of my fame from offense, there
never was a guy that liked to play
defense any better than I did.”
Hunt continued, “I believe the
boys Avill like it better and the
coaches too, when they get start
ed.”
Besides playing football for the
Aggies, Hunt was also a star base
ball player, and he said the late
“Uncle” Billy Disch of Texas Uni
versity almost caused him to go
to the Austin school. Hunt had
gotten four hits off of “Spot”
Faulk the brother of “Bib” Faulk,
now the head baseball coach of
the Longhoms, when he was still
in high school. Faulk was pitching
for Austin and Hunt was with
Waco. “Mr. Disch came up after
the game and told me I did pretty
good, ... I had heard of ‘Uncle
Billy’ and all the players he had

Aggies Meet SMU
In Dallas Tonight
The Aggies return to conference
play tonight against SMU in Dal
las, after their loss to Houston
University.
So far, the Mustangs have out
distanced A&M in the race for
last place with a 1-8 record. The
Cadets bring a 3-7 showing to the
game. SMU couldn’t climb out of
the cellar with a win over the
Farmers since they have won only
one game.
The Mustangs are still danger
ous, since their win came over
Baylor who is in contention for
the conference crown.
Houston Wins
Houston evened their series with
A&M at 1-1 Saturday night by
taking a 48-44 win from the cold
shooting Ags.
A&M couldn’t find the range as
shown by three starters gathering
only six points between them. Bob
Johnson had one, Roy Martin
gathered four, and Rodney Ph’tle
took one.
The game was close and tied
several times, but the Cadets were
never ahead. The Farmers knotted
the count at 20-20 in the second
period and 33-33 in the third.
Don Binford regained some of
his shooting form to tie for top
scoring honors with 13 counters.
Binford had been badly off form
recently due to a hand injury re
ceived in practice.
Jim Hatton, of Houston, tied
Binford with 13 points. Cotton
had 11 and Mosher had 10 for
the Cougars.
Leroy Miksch took runner-up
honors in individual scoring with
12 points.

Maroon Mermen Splash
T o 94-88 Squad V ictory
The maroons splashed their way
to a narrow 94-88 win over the
whites in an Inter-squad Swim
Meet at the P. L. Downs Jr. Nata-
torium Saturday afternoon.
Art Adamson, A&M Swimming
Coach, evenly divided the varsity,
freshmen and high school swim
mers into two squads, but the
whites were severely crippled by
the illness of star varsity back-
stroker Don Crawford. They
fought a strong but losing battle
down to the last event.
However, producers of the big
gest splashes and most extraordin
ary flops were Bill Tutor, soph
swimmer, and David Percifield and
Irmin Stawicki, freshmen perform
ers, in their version of diving as it
shouldn’t be done. Their comedy
diving was very popular with the
spectators.
Snoots Wins
Winner of the first event, 100
yards Backstroke, was Wynne
Sndoots (V) maroon squad. He
was followed by Tommy Daven
port (V) white, while Caid May
nard (V) maroon, came in third.
The second 100 yard backstroke
event was won by Tom Barlow
(HS) of the maroons, Sherwin
Rubin (V) maroon, finished second
and Roland Baird (F) white, was
third.
Winning the first 100 yard
breaststroke event was Ricky
Black (V) maroon, second was
Wayne Strickler (V) white, and
third was Wally Penberthy (HS)
maroon.
The second breaststroke race
was won by George Parr (F)
maroon, who finished ahead of
Henry Goff (F) white, and Ben
Allen (F) white.
Weick Takes Freestyle
Dick Weick (V) put the white
squad into the win column when
he splashed home fiiist in the 100
yard freestyle event, finishing
ahead of Gayle Klipple (V) ma
roon, and John Speich (V) White,
who was third.
First place in the second 100
yard freestyle race went to John
Beutelschies (V), maroon, as Paul
Wottering (V) maroon, came in
second and Hugh West (V) white,
was third.
Low board diving was the next
event on the program, with Sta
wicki (F) maroon, nailing down
first place. Percified (F) white,
finished second, and Joseph Satel
(F) maroon, was the third place
winner.
Snoots Wins Again
The 200 yard backstroke race
was won by Snoots (V) maroon,
while Devenport (V) white, was
second, and Barlow (HS) maroon,
finished third.
Winner of the 200 yard breast
stroke event was Strickler (V)
white, finishing ahead of second
place Paul Wallin (V) white, and
third place Black (V) maroon.
Diving again took over the spot
light as the high boat'd specialists
matched form and ability. John
Cameron (V) white, was judged
winner, as Paul Shaffer (V) ma
roon, took second, and Tutor (F)
maroon, was third.
Weick (V), again splashed his
way to a white victory in the 440
yard freestyle race. He was fol
lowed to the flags by Klipple (F)
maroon, and Spich (V) white.
Diving Honor Seen
Taking over the pool for a ses
sion of comedy diving, Tutoi', Per
cifield and Stawicki kept the
swimming fans laughing at their
amusing diving positions and the
huge splashes produced when they
hit the water.
Winding up the afternoon’s sche
dule of events was the 300 yard
medley relay, won by the white
team of Baird, Allen and West.
Finishing second was the maroon
team of Rubin, Parr and Wottring,
and another maroon team, William
Thiessen (F), Robert Rand (F),
and Bert Koegl, came in third.
