S\ Tennis Team Preparing For SWC Meet Under Handicap The Aggie tehnis team, with one letterman back from last year, faces two more matches and the Southwest Conference meet before winding up the season. The varsity team, weakened somewhat this year with the loss of three 3-year lettermen from last year’s team, is made up of one junior and three sophomores. Bob Jones, the only man on the squad with experience, heads the team. Harvey Barber, Richard Box and Bill Jamison round out the starters for the varsity. The team works and plays un der some handicaps which hinder their workouts as well as their games. The only courts available for practice are the intramural slabs. The clay courts were aban doned last year after the varsity team got tired of keeping them themselves. “Intramurals matches hinder our workouts, since balls are always flying across the court, and play ers walking behind and beside the courts distract the team’s attention from the ball,” said Jones. Barber pointed out that the run- backs were too short. “Some visit ing players complained about the run-backs because the balls get wet rolling onto the grass and ruin the gut strings on their rackets,” said Barber. “Those strings run high, too,” he added. Jones stated that other teams had separate varsity courts to practice on. “They have no in terruptions, and can carry on a good workout without other teams running around,” he said. The team as a whole felt at- tendence to the games was de creased because of the lack of bleachers around the courts. “We had a pretty big crowd for the Hardin-Simmons gam e,” said Jones, “but they had to sit on the ground around the courts or in cars to watch the game.” They are trying now to get bleachers set up around the courts for the Southwest Conference meet May 7-9. Coach Bell’s crew met the Texas Christian University varsity this afternoon, and will meet Rice here Tuesday. They finish the regular season against Baylor at Waco May 2, before entering the SWC meet. No Waiting HOTARD’S Cafeteria 11 a.m. - 2:30 p.m—S p. m. - 8:30 p.tn. In spite of a poor season this year, the squad is looking for things to pick up next year. They will not lose any of their first four men, and some good freshmen are coming up. “Some of the fish are already giving us a bad time,” said Barber. “Our depth should be greater next year than in the last few years,” said Davis. “As soon as we get the depth and win some games, more boys will begin to be interested,” he added. Wet Aggies Meet Mustangs, Hope Bears Drop Longhorns The Texas Aggies, drowned out last weekend, attempt to recover lost ground of a week ago when they meet SMU today and Satur day on Kyle Field in an effort to repeat the twin-killing the Texas Corps Baseballers See Week of Action Corps baseball got weakly back on its feet this week and the Army and Air Force leagues are aiming for a May 15 finish of the regular scheduled games after two weeks of plaguing rain caused play to sputter. In Army action this week, the Field Artillery battalion downed Armor, Composite won out over the Service nine, and the Engineers shut out Anti-Aircraft Artillery last night. Four games were scheduled in the Air Force, with the 6th and 3rd groups both winning on for feits while a third game was post poned. The 2nd and 4th groups met in a night game last night. Playoffs have been tentatively set to begin May 17 if all of the postponed games can be made up in the afternoons before then.

At 3 p.m. Friday, the Aggies meet these same Mustangs with Percy Sanderson (2-1) of Neder land on the mound in an attempt to maintain the pace set by last year’s champion Longhorns. The only Longhorn defeat in confer ence this year was administered by the Aggies on Clark Field, 7-6. The Aggies, 4-2, behind Texas’ 6-1 in conference, will off^r Don nie Hullum Saturday, a righthand er from Baytown who has pitched only one inning of SWC baseball. Hullum, plagued by a sox-e arm since the first of the season, threw his first game against St. Mary’s of San Antonio, only to lose on a two-run homer. He pitched three- hit ball for the first five innings but half-speed throwing for the corners wasn’t quite good enough against St. Mary’s accurate Gene Cernosek. Coach Tom Chandler, in his first year at A&M, is expected to throw a few changes of pace at the Mus tangs should they attempt to throw southpaw pitchers at the Aggies. Don Chase, a powerful right- hand, second-string catcher, is scheduled to start in rightfield if Marvin King or a Mustang lefty takes the mound.
