ference pitchers, got credit for thej
win over the 8. M. U. crew. He worked;
on the mound for four innings, but was j
jerked when the Steers piled up a safe I
lead.
Baker is one of the best pitchers
ever to ply his wares in the South-1
western conference. Coach Diseh has |
seen fit to use him on the hillock con-
siderably, as the rest, of the Steer
hurling department is not more than
average.
Horned Frog Fall.
The Texas Aggies got to Horned j
Frog pitchers Wednesday and Thurs-1
day to win two games. 7 to 4 and S to
5. The Cadets did not engage in any
other conflicts during the week.
In order to gain third place in the
standings. S. M. U. won games from
Baylor Monday and Tuesday, 4 to 3
and 5 to 2, and from Texas Saturday.
10 to 3.
Texas Christian, after dropping two
games to the Aggies, invaded the Owl
roost and split a two-game series on
Friday and Saturday. Phil Abies held
the visiting aggregation to three hits,
and won his game. 4 to 2. The Frogs,
however, came back the next and won,
5 to 4, thanks to a homer by Hermann
Clark in the ninth frame.
Conference standings:
The Owls were defeated by the
Texas Longhorns at Austin In a dual
meet last Saturday by the unexpect-
edly heavy count of 77-40. Rice was
handicapped by the absence of Cap-
tain Bill Smiley, who was nursing an
injured ankle that Coach Hjertberg
refused to let him take any chances
with, and Joe Juckie was unable to
run on account of a strained tendon,
Brunson was the most consistent
Owl performer and took the mile and
the half mile in comparatively easy
fashion. Chit wood in the two mile
had a nice margin to spare also.
Daniels of Texas took the 440 to
set the fastest time this year with
at 4i .2 mark. This bested Parker of
a. ti M., who holds the conference
mark of 50.4. Practically every dual
competition this year has seen Cap-
tain Barker's mark shattered, and the
prospect of a fast 440 at the confer-
ence meeting has become a certain
affair.
Cabiness equalled the conference
record in the pole vault with a height
of 12 feet 9 inches. His side kick,
Weichert, ran a fast 100 to heat Landa
of Texas for second in that dash but
he couldn't get past the flashy Cock-
rell, who took first.
Hargis. Texas, took first in the shot
with a shove of better than 45 feet.
This looks like a preliminary to a
new conference record in that event.
The conference meet in Houston
should produce a more even counting
of points with no one team running
away from the showings, and a three
cornered battle for first between Rice,
Texas, and the Aggies.

lows:
100-yard dash; Cockrell, Texas,
first; Weichert, Rice, second; time:
9:8.
