Coach Jack Baer and the University of Okla homa baseball team aren't Bur- prised that the Texa9 Aggies are currently leading the Southwest conference. "They've got a fine club but they've got a wonderful band," is the way Baer puts it. The Sooners had been warned about that Texas Aggie band prior to their recent visit to Texas. Ted Lyons, Chicago pitcher who form erly twirled for Baylor univer sity of Waco, Tex., once declared, "If you can get by the seventh in ning at College Station, you can pitch in the world series." Did No Worrying. But the Oklahomans weren't overly worried. Sooner baseball teams are known for their coolness in the face of a hot verbal barrage from enemy fans. At Manhattan, Kas., last spring the rabid Kansas State rooters taunted Hal Cum berland, Sooner pitcher in the tenth inning of a close game and Cumberland replied by striking out the side. But at College Station the Soon ers ran into something new. The Texas Aggie bandsmen sat right behind the Oklahoma bench. Soon er players noticed, with curiosity, that there were two drummers but only one snare drum. The game began and so did that Texas Aggie band. Every time the Sooners were in the field the Cadet bandsmen swung into shrill savaere ditty called "The Wildcat Song" in which one phrase is played ever and over witn tne slide trombones and trumpets blar ing. Drummer uoes fast. One snare drummer, his hands moving so fast they blurred, fur nished the drum obligato until completely fatiged whereupon the second hide-beater took over with out missing a lick while the first one rested. It was musical bed lam. On the Sooner bench Baer turned to Student Manager Sol Glenn. "Let's time 'em with a watch," the Sooner coach proposed, "and see how long they can go without stopping," but Glenn couldn't hear Baer although he sat next to him. All over the park, the din was terrific. Out on the mound the veteran Cumberland, pitching for Oklahoma, went off guard for a moment and a Cadet base-runner stole home. Baer finally rushed easy-going Danny Burrell, fam ous for his calmness, onto the pitching hill and a streaking Texas Aggie base-runner stole home on Burrell, too. The Sooners were loiing lots of their usual serenity. The rest of the game was a con test between the gum-chewing Burrell and that Cadet band. - UOVLAND-SWANSON CALIFORNIA SPORTSWEAR flay Suit 7.95 'V Fly-rront Slack 6.95 For runny, many occasions this new busy year California Sportswear is your wisest investment.
