Sports Sidelines
BY RAYFORD RUSSELL
. Tarleton'a new and intensified in-
tramural sports program swung
into full swing last week when the
volleyball games started. In one
week of play the tournament has
narrowed down to three teams.
Company F met Company A yes-
terday foy the right to meet Com-
pany 13 in the .final game this af-
■ ternoon. Company 33 won a close
decision over the Band before be-
ing put out of the running by E
Company.' In the upper bracket
Company F beat Company C while
Company A was eliminating Com-
pany D.
Tlje baseball season is fast ap-
proaching and most of the major
pro teams are now engaging in
some spring training games. The

direction of Coach Mel Ott are ex-

pected to give their hated rivals)
the Brooklyn Dpdgers, the most
competition they have had in sev-
eral seasons. The New York Yan-
kees are expected to be as strong
this year as ever, The St. Louis
Cardinals have also been showing
up well in these warm-up games.
The Bums from Brooklyn seem to
have all the stuff to land them in
the first division again this year.
These "Fish" really went on a
rampage the other night at' the
girls' cage scrap. Such impudent
outbursts at such a thing as a fish
victory are a pretty good slam at
the seniors. There were two or
three times that yours truly wps
tempted to yell first -down when
Sara Lamun threw those vicious
blocks at the poor scared. fi^h.
Othene Mauldin was another bright
and shining star for the seniors.
It may be unfair not to say any-
thing about what the fish did other
than win the game, but they must
be content wit}i that as this plug is
about all the seniors got out of that
deal.
It is to be hoped that when the
next effort is made to have an in-
tramural spprts golf tournament,
there will be more interest. When
the last attempt was made to hold
thig tournament, only a few in-
dividuals agreed to enter. These in-
tramural playoffs are held for all
of our benefits, bo we should all
try to attend.
We noticed recently that the
Junior'Aggie star forward, Shan-
non, made the'Texas A.A.TJ, all-
state team in the recent state play-
off at Dallas. Shannon, along with
the Aggies' Bill Henderson, played
for the Furniture men, a Dallas
team. We would like to offer, our
sincerest congratulations to the
Junior Aggies on Jiaving such a
swell player and good sport to rep-
resent them.
While we are rehashing basket-
ball a little, we might say that an
article in the Fort Worth Star-
Telegram recently stated that Buck
Overall was leading the state in
Junior College scoring. He was
listed as having 228 points in 18
games. A "cheek" on a few "records
would have shown, however, that
Bobbye Savage had scored 242.
points for Tarleton in only 17
games.

For Butler Relays
Iii Indianapolis •
(Daily, Texan, March 12)
Coach; Clyde Littlefield and two
members of the Texas track team
board a train this morning at 10
o'clock for Indianapolis, Ind.,
where they will take part in the
famous Butler Relays, one of the
nation's top indoor meets.
Accompanying Littlefield^ who
will be the head starter, are Doug-
las -Jaques, the veteran hurdler,
who will enter the GO-yarjl low
and high hurdles, and Max Minor,
the sophomore sprinter, who will
run in the 60-yard dash and 60-
yard low hurdles. —
, Since the Longhprjis^ seldom
participate' in. indoor meets and
as hurdler Boyce Gatewood is the
only Steer to run on the boards
in the last several years, the
Texas entries will be at a disad-
vantage in the northern meet.
However, Littlefield expects his
entries to make good showings.
Jaques took second in the high
hurdles at the Laredo Olympics
and has made some good times in
workouts this spring. Minor fin-
ished football spring training last
Saturday, so he hasn't rounded
into top condition for track.
Nevertheless, at Laredo pn Friday
night before last Saturday's scrim-
mage, Minor, without *an,y real
workouts, ran a 9.7 hundred.
While in Indianapolis Coach
Littlefield will contact some of the
nation's leading track stars and
seek more entries in the big Texas
Relays to be held here two weeks
from now. ' •

Bears, Aggies
Open Schedule
Baylor and Texas A&M clash
Friday and Saturday at Waco to
open the twenty-seventh annual
Southwest Conference baseball
race.
The Bears j and Aggies ,are rat-
ed among the top three of this sea-
son's race and'their series should
have an important bearing on the
1942 title.
Each of the six conference mem-
bers making the race — Arkansas
does not play baseball —• meets the
other in three games# meaning a
15-game schedule.
The University of Texas has its
leanest prospects in-years Jbut the
Longhorns still are rated the team
to beat as they go after their twen-
ty-second championship in .26
years.
