On the previous Saturday, his squad
romped on Bethany. 81 to O. McMil-
Ian has gotten off to a good start
at Kansas, and with a background Of
once being a star player, and coach
for three years at smaller institu-
tons, should make good.
They resurrected old Tom
Zachary from the Washington
club, and made a winning pitcher
Of him-that's what the New
York Yankees did. He didn't
pitch, so bad, yesterday, against
the Cardinals. in the third game
Of the world series. He walked
~ man. struck out seven. and
allowed nine hits, and was re-
turned victorious. Z to 3. The
writer has been reading Of Zach
airy ever since he can remember,
and If memory serves correct, has
been a winning pitcher, with the
exception of the last two years
with Washington. lie came to
New York this year. He has a
slow ball. ard then a slower one,
knows how TO pitch. Of course.
And has control. Oh yes. he il
a left-hander. Don't know what
baseball would have done without
wrong-handcrs, this year.
Saturday Of this week, one Of the
biggest football games Of the season
at Aggieland Of Texas. will be pulled
off. Centenary Gentlemen from
the Louisiana town Of Shreveport
will invade Bibles sacred field" and
give battle 10 the farmers. Cen
tenary believes they can whip any
team in the country. They crushed
every opponent last year, including
5. VI. u. They challenged A. x NJ
but the Farmers didn't accept. There
2 feeling at A. & NJ. that the Cen
tlemen think the AEgies were not
anxious to meet them last year.
Well. you know how that kind ~
feeling spreads. and the Aggies and
Gentlemen will fight as they have
never fought before Saturday.
Frank Bridges Simmons University
Cowboys OF Abilene, received a TEN
porary setback in their ambition 10
enter the Southwestern conference
Saturday, when II. G. u. walloped
them at Breckenridge. 10 TO s, in the
tlrst and only college football game
that has ever been played at Breck-
enridge.
Captain Benny McWilliams OF the
San Benito Greyhounds. is expected
TO start training on the grid squad
this week. He has been iii for the
past month. He plays tackle. Earl
We!eh, hurt last week in scrimmage,
IS expected, also, TO be back at his
ha!fback position. this week. Phil
Brady, who broke his ankle last
week. will probably be out Of the
for the rest Of the season.
New York Yankees have purchased
Edwin Wells, leading pitcher OF the
Southern league the past season. He
IS the Birmingham pitcher that beat
Hallahan IN the first gam of the
Dixie series between Birmingham and
Houston. He beat them in the first
game, but after that his entrance "a
the pitching mound was as fast as
his exit-Houston batters, with the
exception o. the first game. took a
liking 70 his offerings. He has been
up before.
And the story goes, hte st.
Louis Cardinals are lacking in
the fighting punch they display
ed under Rogers Hornsby against
the Yankees.
Next year we look for manv inter
sectional games between Texas grid
squads and those OF the east and
west. Brand OF football displaved in
the southwestern conference is on q
par with that of other sections az
the country. Rice and Arkansas are
weak members, ana probably will
make their departure from the con
ference after this season.
