Aggie, SMU tennis teams play this week end
This weekend the Texas Aggie
tennis team will travel to Dallas to
face the S.M.U. Mustangs in a dual
meet. The powerful Mustangs have
already defeated second ranked
Trinity.
S.M.U. is a young team who
Coach Barker feels can defeat any
one in the nation on a given day. He
said, “S.M.U. has four outstanding
freshmen who are as good as anyone
around. I know our work is cut out
for us, but if we play our best then we
can make a run at them.”
The tournament will have six sing
les matches and three doubles.
Coach Barker said that he would not
know until Saturday what the pair-
offs would be.
The matches will begin this Satur
day afternoon at 1:30.

prepare for the annual Maroon and White

Stadium,” DiMaggio said afterward.
“My first hit came oft a tall left
hander, Chief Elon Hogstett, a big
Indian of the St. Louis Browns. He
was a great pitcher. But I got a triple
and two singles off him that day. I
managed to hit him afterward while
all other batters were having a tough
time with him.”
The great DiMaggio said his final
hit came in the 1951 World Series
against the New York Giants. “It
came off Larry Jansen,” he said. “I
think everyone in the stands knew
that it was gonna be my last hit in the
Stadium. They gave me a wonderful
ovation.”
Louis, the Brown Bomber in a
neat brown suit, recalled his two
fights with Germany’s Max Schmel-
ing and his title fight against Max
Bahr in the old Yankee ballyard.
Schmeling had beaten Louis the
first time when he was a young chal
lenger out of Detroit.
“As I drove to the Stadium for the
second fight that night June 22,
1938, I turned to my manager, Jack
Blackburn and said, ‘If I don’t get
him in three rounds, you’d better
come and get me because I won t
have anything left,’ ” Louis said.
Louis stopjaed Schmeling in the first
round.
Six members of the 1923 team
which played on the Yankees when
the original Stadium was opened
Aj^ril 18, 1923, shuffled out to the
infield to take their bows. They were

Whitey Witt, Oscar Roettger, Waite
Hoyt, Hinkey Haines, and Joe Du-
gan.
Shawkey was given the honor of
throwing the first ball. Instead of
doing it from the stands, as is cus
tomary, he took his stance on the
mound and lobbed a right-handed
throw to Yankee catcher Thurman
Munson, standing about 20 feet
away.
Bobby Richardson, former Yan
kee infielder now prominent in the
Fellowship of Christian Athletes,
gave the invocation, and Robert
Merrill of the Metropolitan Opera
sang the National Anthem.
Four men whose careers have
been intertwined with the Yankees
over the years were special guests.
They were Jim Earley, former Post
master General who saw his first
game in 1904; Toots Shor, the well-
known restaurateur; Mel Allen, the
long-time voice of the Yankees, and
Pete Sheehy, celebrating his 50th
year as the Yanks’ clubhouse man.
