Incidentally, the Whites scored the first three touch- ms for their team in last Saturday’s game-condition image. FROM THE Sidelined By Larry Smith The weather has been real nice to Coach Myers this jig as only two days have been lost on account of bad ither. This probably is the best spring training at Ag- la!idin“many a moon” in more ways than one—weather- !«and good old fashion hitting. A person can tell that spring practice is going on now imply looking at the footballers face. This is one of itest signs of a good training. There’s no doubt that rather hard on those that are participating in the game. But, it will pay off in the long run! The Houston National League Baseball Club has finally je up with a name for their team — the COLTS. Now ft get this name mixed up with the horse, because this Ills a gun! The first thing that came to mind was the timore Colts in the National Football League who have Je the name of Colts in the world of professional sports. Now if you want to get technical, you could call the ston club the ’45ers which would conflict with another imal Football Club — the San Francisco ’49ers. All in all, it is good to see professional baseball finally Texas. Now the only question is — will the fans sup- t the old Houston Buffs in the last two years. Maybe ywere just waiting for the major leagues to move in. ★ ★ ★ Carroll Broussard, the talented Frenchman from Port tur, broke a Southwest Conference record in the Aggies ;pie against the Arkansas Razorbacks and became the itA&M man to hold a SWC mark in many years.

If you remember, he hit on a 30-ft. jumper I only four seconds left in the game to break a 68-68 and enabled the Ags to win, 70-68. bu’s Cage Head Texas Open firivpc B In Irth J- U Battalion Classifieds Gives Up Job To Assistant By The Associated Press WACO—R.

OldestTourney By HAROLD V. RATLIFF Associated Press Sports Writer Back in the golden twenties a sports writer named Jack O’Brien put on a golf tournament with a $5,000 prize. It was the Texas Open, oldest tournament on the winter trail. Such money was unheard of in this game where the fellows fol lowed a little white pellet around a pasture. There were few money tournaments and one for $5,000 made the professionals gasp and hurry down to San Antonio. This year the nomads of the PGA tour will play for $181,500 in eight Texas tournaments. The San Antonio event now carries a prize list of $30,000. But it is only in a tie for third place in money offered. There will be two $40,000 tour naments—the Houston Classic and Colonial National Invitation at Ft. Worth. The Dallas Open, which is fairly young, will offer $30,000. Women’s golf is getting to be big stuff in Texas, too. Once it was difficult to schedule a $5,000 event for the gals of the links. Now there are three women’s tour naments in Texas. The biggest one is at Dallas where $10,000 is put up. This, incidentally, will be INTRAMURALS All three events were played yes terday as old man nature provided good weather for a change. ' Six matches were played in Class A Tennis which was rained out the day before. Sq. 1 snapped G-3 for a 2-1 victory; E-2 pro vided good competition to Sq. 3 before going down to defeat, 2-1; C-2 spanked A-2 for a 2-0 win; B-l took Sq. 17 by forfeit (Sq. 17 and M-2 are out for major sports); Sq. 10 won a decision over Sq. 14, 2-0; and A-l dashed past Sq. 12, 2-0. Only three games were partici pated in volleyball as Class C had the day off. In Class A Volley ball, D-2 won over M-2 by for feit; Sq. 9 out-spiked C-l for a 2-0 victory; and Sq. 8 won a de cision over W-Band by forfeit. Six matches were shot in Class B Rifle and in these: A-l out-fired Sq. 4, 425-394; B-2 hit the bulls- eye for a 458-304 victory over E-l; Sq. 10 out-battled Sq. 2, 350- 338; C-2 fought a close battle with Sq. 3 and won, 477-466; E-2 banged past Sq. 5, 460-355; and D-l won an easy decision over L-2—by for feit. the first tournament of the year. It comes April 13-16. Beaumont and San Antonio also have women’s tournaments. A tournament that brought the prize money in Texas to an all- time high was added so suddenly and quietly that it took several weeks for it to be known. It was put on the schedule long after the tour was supposed to be completed. This tournament is the Golden Tri angle Invitational at Beaumont. It offers $20,000 the first crack out of the box. The Beaumont tournament will be Nov. 8-12, which is right in the middle of the football campaign. It would seem this is not the best time in the world to add a new tournament but apparently that was the only date Beaumont could get. It will draw the fans any way. Golf followers had rather see their game than football and there are enough golfers to insure a crowd at a tournament even if Notre Dame and Southern Meth odist are playing football. Golf is big business. There are so many cities wanting tourna ments the PGA has them standing in line like you do in a barber shop. This has come about since all the rough spots were smoothed over in the relations of the PGA with the sponsors. Time was when the rhubarbs took up more time than playing the tournament. That’s all changed. Now the PGA just runs tilings, as it should in the first place, although it is probably more amenable to the wishes of the sponsors than when everything was turmoil. The tournaments don’t worry much anymore if they fail to get all the big names. This was once a bone of contention and some tournaments quit over it. But there are so many good players and the victories are so well dis tributed it doesn’t matter if a few of the top names skip a tourna ment. The fans will see just as good golf.
