Tennis and Golf
Teams Ready
For SWC Meet
Three sophomores will car

and field meet.
Frank Holbrook, Bill Ashburn

Vandervoort, a Fort Worth soph
omore, has a 4-2 record in confer

and Vandervoort’s not too familiar
with it, but he’s a good player and
I think he will handle himself cred
itably,” said Aggie Golf Coach Joe
Fagan.
Vandervoort will enter a 72 hole
match, playing 36 holes on Thurs
day and 36 on Friday.
The Aggie golf team finished
fourth in conference standings be

who went three for three against the Shorthorns; John Hoyle, stalwart Fish first base-

By CLIFTON BATES
Consolidated Correspondent
Ace hurler Pinky Cooner of A&M
Consolidated pitched a one-hit 4-0
shut-out of the Cypress-Fairbanks
Bobcats yesterday in Cypress-
Fairbanks.
In his third shut-out of the year,
Cooner gave up the only hit of the
game in the fifth inning on a clean
single up the middle by the Bob
cats’ Frank Tilotta.
Had No-Hitter
Bobby Adam, right-handed con
trol artist of the Bobcats,' had a
no-hitter going until the Tiger half
of the last inning when Bobby
Carter of the Tigers hit a single.
Cooner then hit a single sending
Carter across the plate when the
Bobcats right fielder muffed Coon-
er’s hit. Cooner went to second.
Pete Hickman singled, sending
Cooner home and was credited with
an RBI. William Arnold hit a
grounder to the thixd baseman who
threw to first where an error by
the Cy-Fair first baseman put Ar
nold on. Hickman, who had stolen
second, scored on the play.
Melvin Free then was called out
on strikes and Manuel Garcia pop
ped up to the third baseman for
the second out. Bubba Englebrecht
hit a hot grounder to the Bobcat
first baseman who missed the ball.
Arnold scored on the play. Engle-
Billy Burke had to play 144 holes
(8 rounds) before winning the 1931
U. S. Open golf title. He beat
George Von Elm in the second 36-
hole playoff, 148 to 149. They tied
at 149 in the first playoff.
brecht went to second on a passed
ball and stole third.
David Bonnen ended the inning^
for the Tigers when he was called
out on strikes. Total scoring CHS
for the frame: four runs on three
hits and three Bobcat errors. The
Tigers had orte man left on base.
Cooner struck out eight Cypress-
Fairbanks players and walked only
three. Adam struck out six Tigers
and walked only two.
For the Bobcats, only five men
reached first base. Only one of
these got as far as third base.
Henry Kruse of the Bobcats reach
ed first on a W'&lk and went spe-
cessively to second and third on
passed balls. An error by Arnold,
Tiger third baseman, was the cause
of one of the Bobcat’s reaching
first.
Play Tomball Tomorrow

day in Tomball in a district game.
It is their final scheduled game
this season. This is a re-match of
a game rained out April 20. The
