TEXAS II; AGGIES II

College Station, Tex, March s.
The. Texas, Longhorns Saturday
night finished in a blaze of glory a
basket ball career which has never
been equalled when they won the
last game of the season from Texas
A. & NJ. College by score of II
to IL. 1t was last-minute squirt
which caused the score to be so.
Ponsford and Settegast dropping the
ball through with less than a minute
to play.
The game was a drastic one. From
the very beginning the men tore
around the court as if they had only
a moment or so to play. They
dashed after the ball, fought for it,
jumped for it, threw it at the goal
but their attempts at the goal had
sad endings. The Texans got five
goals from the field, the Aggies made
four.
Free Throwing Counted.
1t was superior free throwing which
counted. A. & NJ. also showed
procliyity for personal fouling in the
second period, while only two fouls
were called on the Steers. The game
was free from starring exhibitions.

his last time in the uniform of A. &
NJ, probably played the most bril-
liant individual game on the court.
He was at times the whole Farmer
five, his mad dashes down the court
ending in an attempt to cage the
ball, his breaking up of wonderful
passing, marked him as a star.
Captain Robertson of Texas played
brilliant game also, but his eye
was out of kilter: he missed many
shots which he should not have
failed to make. The rest of the two
fives formed the machine of human
beings. 1t was team work against
team work most of the time.

Texas A. & NJ: Darby and Prath-

Medina's Hatchery in Operation!
One Female Bass Swims in Lonely Grandeur in Pool
Number Two i Ponds Hold Water and Brood
Fish for Stocking Will Be Caught This Week.

Monday morning and number three
Tuesday night.
The trout ditch is in readiness for
a shipment expected soon from the
rainbow trout ponds at the Missouri
state hatchery.
Thus, Mcdina's hatchery, deemed
necessary by every thinking sports
man if the lake is to be preserved
as a bass-fishing resort, is about to
become q reality after half q dozen
years of agitation.
Obstacles to tae Last.
Bill Furlong's dream has come
true. Furlong has been the prime
mover in the efforts to have hatch
cry established at the lake. He has
met and overcome an almost unbe-
lievable array of obstacles.
New discouragements appeared at
every step forward in all those years.
They extended right IN until the last
few weeks when, with all necessary
permission granted, all legal red tape
cut, enough money raised to go
ahead on, and work started. it was
found that the bottom of the pools
had the general consistency of pic
crust. Crawfish and ants had mined
the ground underneath and the pools,
dug, would not hold water. Further
more the dirt walls leaked like the
mischief.
"Puddling" was decided upon as a
remedy. Horses and mules, tied to-
gether, were taken into the pools and
driven around to tamp the ground
and make it hard. They fell through
the crust to their shoulders and had
to be rescued time and again. The
work was slow. but it eventually got
results and pools two and four holll
water. Sacks of clay make good
sides. The others will be ready early
in the week and by fall thousands of
young bass will be turned loose into

The Medina lake fish hatchery Is in
operation.
Majestically isolated like a queen
in the palace bath, one female bass
glides nonchalantly though the placid
waters of hatchery pool No. 2, des-
tined to be the mother of a great
race of plymouth progeny, which,
when their numbers have reached the
hundreds of thousands, will be turned
into the expansive reaches of Medina
lake to furnish sport for all true
anglers, story material for glib
tongues and incentive for the Cham
Der of Commerce to advertise the
lake as the worlds greatest bass-fish-
ing resort.
This Eve Of the finny tribe no
doubt is unaware of the significance
of her presence in that calm pool /;
even if she knew, she probably
wouldn't give a flip of her tail for
the honor. She is more likely to be
occupying her thoughts with the ex-
ultation of just being alive and in
good wet place instead of dead and
in n frying pan.
For Fate smiled on Mrs. Bass Sat
urday. not only sparing her life but
according her the distinction of being
the initial occupant of a fish hatch
cry that is expected to make Medina
lake once more the foremost hangout
of one of the most priced game fish
extant.
How II Came About.
It happened like this:
Little Billy Lichen was fishing Sat
urday for catfish. On his hook wig
gled worm. A perch going home
late for lunch spied the unfortunate
wiggler. OF course, he discovered the
hook too late and was heading in n
sudden and involuntary rush for the
surface before he fully realized what
had happened. As he parted the
water his flight was abruptly ar
rested and he disappeared, with hook
worm and all, down the gullet of a
big bass.
Little Billy hauled in his catci
and found it to be a female bass ladeI
with spawn. The catch was reported
to those working on the hatchery.
After weeks Of discouraging labor
pools No. 2 and 4 had been filled
and were holding water. Mrs. Bas:
was relieved of the bothersome hoo!
and dropped into the second pool

after n few minutes of play they
warmed up and worked the ball near
the Rock Springs goal again. This
time Monahan got through for a
touch down and the extra point was
made, making the score 10 to 0, the
final score of the game.
The Rawlins team Used several
plays during the game and most of
their line bucks were checked up
for good gains. The team as a
whole played an excellent game,
there being no individual stars and
the credit for winning the game
rests equally on every man on the
team.
The line up for the game was as
follows: Sanders. center: McNiff

BROKE EVEN ON
WESTERN TRIP

On Friday of last week the Raw
Inns High School football team again
showed its superiority over the Rock
Springs team by defeating that team
on its W field by a score of 10 to
0. on Saturday a game was played
with the Superior team on its field
and Rawlins came out on the short
end of the score 6 to 0. The reports
are that the Rawlins team played its
best game on Friday while on Sat
urday the game had to be played
in a snow storm and several mem
bers of the team were not in their
usual form and condition.
Fridays game with Rock Springs
was played under good football con-
ditions; h weather was snappy and
the Rawlins team was feeling its
best. II took most of the first quar-
ter to get warmed up and acCustom-
ed to the field. In this quarter Raw
Inns made a number of gains but lost
the ball several times when they
we're within striking distance of the
goal. The second quarter was a rep
etition of the first, Rawlins contin-
ued to make their downs and at no
time did the Rock Springs team get
near the Rawlins goal. The first
half ended 0 to 0.
In the third quarter the Rawlins
boys came back with a vengeance
and started the old steam roller tao
tics. They came back full of the
real fighting spirit and worked the
ball close to the Rock Springs goal.
Monahan threw a pass to Engstrom
who caught it on the 40 yard line
and he a to within a yard of the
goal post. In a straight line buck,
Green carried 1t over for a touch
down. They failed in their attempt
for an extra point. In the latter
part of the same quarter. Rawlins
worked the ball down to the Rock
Springs goal again and Mcfarland
pushed through for the second touch
down. Again the attempt to make
the extra point was unsuccessful.
