Kovacs Sunday in the finals, had
little or no trouble with Bill Tal-

had lieen rSted as the tournament's

Cadet invasion
Meyer Believes
Frog Gridsters
Appear Stronger
Fort Worth, April 18—"The boys
looked pretty good."
That's as far as Coach Dutch
Meyer will go in summing up
T.CiU.'s footbair prospects for 1941,
Don Kennedy,, sophomore righthander from Houston who
throttled the Baylor Bears here three weeks ago in the South-
west Conference opener, took the moutid against the Texas
Aggies at 3 p. m. Friday as Rice attempted to pull out of the
league basement with a decision over the third-place Cadets.
Marty Karow, diamond coach at College Station, indicated that
he would match either Roy Pedcyi or Billy Henderson, versatile
hurler from Houston, against
Kennedy, saving his ace, Lefty
Bumpers, for the series finale
Saturday. Bumpers, fooling the
Owls with an expert curve and
change of pace, blanked them
10-0 at 'College Station two
weeks ago.
The second base position, without
a regular starter since Hal Lam-
bert quit baseball a week ago, was
giving Cecil. Grigg a headache as the
Owls prepared for the Aggies. Af-
ter infield drill Thursday, Grigg said
that he would start either Qucntin
following the completion of spring
practice.

the '41 Frogs will be improved in j (I>ub) Barrow, varsity catcher from
