MERCEDES, March 30.-Battling
Shaw and Kid Ruiz are scheduled
to sling leather at each other for
ten rounds in the main event of a
boxing card here Monday night.
Promoter AL Robinson has lined
up some dandy prelim boys for
this, the fifth of the semi-monthly
events. Probably one of the most
interesting of these Semi-finals
ever pulled off in the Mercedes
arena will be the one between Ken
Macy of Harrington and Jesse
Sada of Lardo. These boys weigh
around the 1875 pound limit, and are
known as first class entertainers.
There will be other prelims, also.
The Shaw-Ruiz scrap has taken
on an unprecedented amount of in
terest among fight fans in the VAL
ley. Shaw is a favorite among
local bugs" not only because he
has made his home in this city
for the past several months, but
also because of his clean-cut VIC
tories over many Valley and outside
boys. Chaw battled Kid Pancho
to a draw on the last card. and
received an ovation as he left the
ring such as he has never exper-
fenced before. The Kid of San
Antonio gave Shaw q tough battle.
Kid Ruiz and the Battler will
be meeting for the first time.
Ruiz knocked Sada out on the last
card here. He has a punch. 1t
travels only a few inches. He car

that. The boys have been wanting
to trade punches for a long time.
Their weights are around 1870
pounds.

one of the most popular sports of
its kind in this part Of the VAL

AGGIES BRIEFS

COLLEGE STATION, March 80.
The coming week promises to be
| one of the busiest of the season for
Coach Bob Countryman and his
Texas Aggie diamond charges who
will meet the Waco Cubs Of the
| Texas league in a two game series
Tuesday and Wednesday and the
Notre Dame tossers in a single game
Saturday. All games will be played
on the Kyle Field diamond. These
will be the last of the Aggies' non
conference tits until May Ct when
they will play the Texas Tech nine
two games as a feature OF the East
| Texas Chamber of Commerce CON-
vention.
Texas Aggie track hopes suffered
a sharp set back last week when it
became known that Bob Graham,
Jasper, and Marion Badger, Austin,
were nursing injured legs. Both
men are temporarily out of the run
ming with pulled muscles. Graham
and Badger are both dash men and
were being counted upon strongly
by Coach Frank Anderson for the
relays and Individual races this
spring. Graham was a member OF
the Aggie Quarter-mile and half
mile relay teams last year and
Badger was one of the leading dash
men on the Aggie squad before ne
was injured.
James Sullivan, business manager
of athletics at A. &. M. is negotl-
ating with several teams in an
effort to schedule games for Coach
| Roswell Higginbotham's Texas Agg1e
| freshman nine this spring. The
freshmen were scheduled to meet
the BRENNAN nine last weekend but
the games were cancelled. Coach Hig-
ginbotham's charges have shown up
we'll in their practice games with the
varsity nine.
Few athletes have made more
sensational rises in the collegiate
| sport world than Tommie Mills,
Aggie grid, track and diamond star.
Mills came to A. & M. with no ex-
perience as a twirler and reported
to Coach Bob Countryman last year
for a try-out. The Aggie coach saw
possibilities in the candidate and
took him in charge. The form he
showed in holding the Houston
Bluffs in check in his first appear
ance as a twirler is indicative of the
advance he has made. In football,
Mills rise has been equally as sem
sational. He failed to make his
freshman numeral in 1926 but de-
clined to be discouraged and on the
showing he made in intramural
football was invited to try for the
varsity. He lettered his first year
and the past season received his
second letter and was elected to cap
tain the 1929 team. Mills is a
broad and high jumper on the track
team and lettered in track last year.
The playing of Gill Johns. Texas
! Aggie short stop, is attracting atten-
ton among those baseball critics
who have seen him in action this
year. Johns handles his position
like a veteran and is a dangerous
hitter. He got two hits in the
Aggies' tilt with the Houston Bluffs
and two more the following day
against the Houston Southern Pa
cific nine. He is right-handed and
is playing his first year with the
Aggies.
