meet last Saturday, in a time of
49.4, which would not have beaten
James Baker of the Cadets who
ran the distance in 48.9. Ashmore
placed third in the same meet.
Coach Higgins predicts his mile
relay team will be close to the
Cowpoke mile relay record of
3:12.7 before June, however, if
the Aggies quartermilers are
ready they should win this event.
Five individual champions of
the Cowpokes will be back to try
for repeats in the Olympics. They
are Roscoe Vrooman, in the high
jump, Jerry Peery, in the pole
vault, Billy Heard in the 880,
Frank Eckhoff, in the mile, and
Henri Geller in the two mile.
Vrooman didn’t place in the Fort
Worth meet, and Peery only vault
ed 12 feet in the meet. Both the
Aggie vaulters, Malcolm Marks,
who won- the tri-angular meet on
Kyle Field, with 13 feet and Glen
Spradlin who tied for second with
12 feet six inches, should cpme in
ahead of Peery. Marks, said he
had never been able to do well in
the Border Olympics, commented
“I hope I can break the jinx this
year.”
Aggie entries in the Olympics
are:

men’s divisions.
Many people do not realize that
in other sections of the country
gymnastics is a team sport on a
par with football, basketball, base
ball and other major sports, ac
cording to Bud Matthews. Actual
ly? gymnastics is a much older
sport than any of these, Matthews
said.
The intramural boxing program
began on the final stretch yester
day as 16 grueling, hard-fought
bouts were unfolded.
Jack Couch, Sq. 18, and George
Dalton, A Inf., crossed gloves in
a wild, free-swinging 167 pound
bout, with Couch pounding out a
close, hard-earned decision. Both
fighters landed hard, but Couch
threw the shorter punches and
scored more often.
Short, stocky Bennie Oddo, came
out swinging at the opening bell
and led all the way to decision
Russell, AAA, in another 167
pound bout. The short-armed Oddo

CHS Opens Diamond Drills
With Jim Bevans At Helm
Consolidated’s baseball team
starts workouts today with 18 or
20 men expected for the initial
drill.
Jim Bevans, baseball coach, has
seven lettermen returning from
last year’s squad. Six of the x'e-
turnees are first string men.
Returning regulars are Bobby
Carter, first base, Byron Andrews
at second base, and David Bon-
nen at short stop. Pinky Cooner
and Pat Hickman return to claim
berths in the outfield. Melvin Free
will handle the catching chores.
“We are going to be short on
pitchers, so it looks like we will
just have to out hustle everyone
else,” said Bevans. Joe Motheral
is the only regular pitcher to re
turn thie year.
Bevans is counting heavily on
freshmen pitchers Manuel Garcia
and J. B. Carroll. Cooner will come
in from the outfield to help with
the pitching chores when needed.
The infield will be one of the
clubs stronger points with third
base the only post wide open. The
outfield will also be in good shape
with regulars Cooner and Hick
man playing.
Consolidated’s first game is
against Carmine there, March 31.
The first home game will be
against Somerville April 2.
All Tiger games will be played
on the College Hills diamond, and
no admission will be charged, Be
vans said.
This will be Bevans first year
as *coach of the varsity baseball
team. He replaces O. V. Chafin
who has accepted the post of head
football coach at Bishop.
Here’s a sad cotton talc: poor Paul was in a stew about his hare until his paw
wrote: "I ear you got a bun on because your girl left you. Now, lettuce look at
the bre’r facts. To get in on the bunny huggin’, smart rabbits foot it down to
any toilet goods counter .for Wildroot Cream-Oil, America’s
biggest-selling hare tonic. So fuzz thing tomorrow, invest 29F
in a bottle or handy tube. Contains soothing Lanolin. Non-
alcholic. Grooms the hare. Relieves annoying dryness. Re
moves loose, ugly dandruff. Helps you pass the Finger-Nail
Test.” Sheedy tried Wildroot Cream-Oil and now he’s a j ump
ahead of every Tom, Dick and Harvey. So what’re you wait

at your barber’s. You’re bound to like it!

was at a big reach disadvantage,
but more than made up for it with
his aggressive, rushing offense
which frequently had Russell back
ed up against the ropes.
In another wild contest Sanders,
Sq. 14, punched out a decision over
Williams, B FA, in a 19jL pound
bout. Beto Gonzales, Sq. 10, scor
ed a decision over Lawrence Le-
Noir, White Band, in a flashy 137

/ the haunt
of the
Baskervilles
O nce there was a ghost named Leroy, who lived in a
haunted cottage near a large Eastern university. Every
Friday night, at exactly seven o’clock, he’d slide under the
door of Baskerville Hall (the main dorm), and give the
students all the answers to next week’s quizzes.
This was quite a set up. No studying, no cramming . ; . and
straight A’s all term long. But then, one Friday, the hour
came and went. No Leroy! And the following week, all the
Baskerville Boys got an F on every quiz!
The Friday after that, all of Baskerville Hall waited . ; ;
and waited. But still no Leroy! In high dudgeon, they set out
to find him. Creeping into Leroy’s haunted cottage . . . the
Baskerville Boys found him moaning and groaning. “What’s
the matter, Leroy?” they asked.
Leroy wiped a ghostly tear from his ghostly eye. “The weath
er’s so hot, every time I put on a shirt the collar curls and
wilts. I haven’t been out for two weeks!”
In high glee, the Baskerville Boys hurried to the local
Van Heusen dealer and bought a dozen Van Heusen Century
Shirts with the revolutionary soft collar that won’t wrinkle
ever. 6 whites, 2 grays, 2 blue and 2 tan . . . some with regular
collars, some with spread collars. At only S3.95 apiece, they
thought it was a very good investment.
Leroy was delighted. He rewarded the boys with all the
answers to the following week’s quizzes. Two months later,
all the boys from Baskerville Hall had flunked out. Leroy’s
good-looking Van Heusen Century Shirts made him so popular
with the co-eds, that he didn’t have time for quizzes or answers.
