Many also know of the quality of education one receives at this great institution and the kind of men, real men, that it turns out. Although many have heard what it means to be an Aggie, only Aggies know the real meaning of the woi’d “Aggie” and feel the im pact of Aggieland’s great tradi tions. We, the students and former students, take great pride in our school. We are proud that we have the privilege of being an Aggie. Army, as we go home for the holidays let’s take this opportunity to tell the top boys that A&M is the top school by any standard. Tell them what it means to be a Fightin’ Texas Aggie and to be a part of the greatest fraternity on earth. J. E. Loupot ’32 —Paid Adv. The Aggie pitching looked “al most” as good, with Baytown hurl- er Donnie Hullum whiffing eight and yielding the same number of hits—but the tale was told on free passes to first base. Schlemeyer passed out four, while Hullum is sued six. Three of Hullum’s walks came in the noisy SMU third stan za which found three runs crossing the dish. A&M’s fabled hitting did not make the scheduled appearance however, as leftfielder Lloyd Stone tallied half of the base knocks for A&M with two—one of them a triple—and pinch hitter Don Chase and shortstop Ralph Plumlee added singles. In the ninth inning, the Cadets filled the bags after two were out on an error, a single by Chase and a walk, but an infield force play ruined the rally and decided the game. This time it was the Aggies who drew first blood as they pushed across the winning margin in the initial inning. First sacker Bill Houchin walked to first base, ad vanced to second on an error and then scored on Gary Herrington’s double. Toby Newton was credited with the win, although he had to ride some very rough weather in ob taining the victory. He gave up eight hits, sti’uck out 11 and walked seven. In the fifth inning, the Cadets rallied once again to the tune of three runs on two walks, two hit batsmen, a passed ball, a wild pitch,: a double steal and two singles. On the receiving end of the ma jority of these blunders was George Moore, who received credit for the loss. Reliefer Marvin King came to his rescue in this weird fifth frame with two out and retired the Aggies with one infield hit.

LOB—A&M 10, After yielding the conference lead to Texas and Southern Meth odist for a brief spell Friday night, A&M carpe back Saturday after noon to trip up the Ponies and drop them back into a tie for sec ond with A&M. The Longhorns now are at the top of the heap with a 4-0 mark. After posting their third straight win in a Friday game with John Tarleton Junior College, the Ag gie Fish dropped their first con test of the season to Dallas Uni versity Saturday by the score of 2-1. A&M took the lead in the first inning, racking up two runs, but Tarleton held the Fish scoreless in the second and third innings while they racked up single runs in both frames. After a lone Aggie tally in the last of the third, neither team scored until the big sixth inning. The visitors started the inning with a run, but the Fish came back to cross four big runs over the plate, ending the scoring. Randy Wortham, Fish catcher, led the batting with three hits in four trips, including one double. Left fielder Byron Barber hit one over the leftfield fence in account ing for two of the Aggie hits. Larry Ayers went the distance for the Aggies, giving up five hits in the nine-inning battle, and hold ing Tarleton to only two earned runs. He walked four men and struck out eight. Byron Barber started off the Farmer half of the first inning with an infield hit. He stole sec ond and scored on a long single by Wortham, who went to second on the throw home. Wortham took third on an infield hit by Van Winkle and scored on an error by the Tarleton third baseman. Sixth inning action started when first baseman Dick Hickerson took two bases on an error by the short stop. Bobby Cloud lifted a long single to right to score Hickerson, and was then forced out at sec ond by the shortstop, while Kettler gained first base. He moved to second on a passed ball and scored on a single by Early Davis. Bar ber then knocked his homer scor ing Davis ahead of him. On Saturday the Aggies drop ped a close one to Dallas Univer sity 2-1 in a nine-inning game at Kyle Field. The Cadets scored first in the bottom of the opening frame when Don Davis, shortstop, raced in for the only Aggie run. The Fish threatened in the second and third innings, leaving men on third in both frames. Dallas U’s first run came in the third when Pat Shine walked and reached second on a fielder’s choice. He got a free ride the rest of the way as Aggie pitcher Joe Thomp son walked two in succession. The game was a long affair, last ing three hours, and Newton found himself in trouble time and time again in the final innings. Five Ponies were stranded on the base- paths as Newton clung to the one- run margin. The Aggies travel to Fort Worth this afternoon to engage Texas Christian in a solo game series. During the Easter holidays, the Aggies meet Brook Medics twice in San Antonio and contest Rice at Houston on April 8. The next home game is against hard-hitting Texas on Saturday, April 12.

Main — PhoneTA 2-0222 NCAA Rules Fencers 12th After a brief look at the results of the NCAA fencing tourney held recently in Lubbock, the NCAA has ruled that Texas A&M finish ed twelfth in competition while Texas Tech was awarded thirteenth by virtue of the ‘touch’ system. Fewer touches were scored against A&M than Tech, and with this taken into consideration, the Aggies, coached by Russ Wieder, were proclaimed holders of twelfth place in the nation. There were 216 touches scored against A&M as compared to 223 for the Red Raiders. The Aggies also were credited with 189 touches, with Tech .scoring 179. With this revision in the final standings, A&M now holds the dis tinction of being the best rated Southwest Conference team in fencing competition. Previously, Tech had placed 16th. ■ : : : V V' Great buy! the trim-fitting ARROW Glen It’s the shirt with the stand out choice in collars — the regular, button-down, or per manent stay Arrow Glen.
