mark.
New Orleans slaughtered Sam
Houston State the day before play
ing A&M, 16-1.
Dick Munday posted his second
straight win of the season against
no losses Saturday in stopping the
Cougars.
Captain Les Byrd sparked the
Aggie win by getting two of A&M’s
four hits and driving in all three
runs. He also figured in the play
that nipped the Cougars’ tying run
at the plate with two out in the
last of the ninth.
Byrd hiked his batting average
to .412 by collecting four hits in
nine trips in the two games, and
continues to lead A&M batsmen.
His booming bat also brought in
five of A&M’s eight z-uns.
Stocky right fielder Fred Ablon
has nailed down a starting role
on the strength of his fine play in
the last three gajnes, and has a
healthy .333 batting average.

sixth with six hits and five runs
before the battered Pelican pitch
ers could end the rally.
Ten men came to bat for A&M
in the uprising. Byrd led off with
a double, and Williams singled him
home after one out. Singles by
Joe Boring, John Hoyle, Ablon and
Byrd, and walks to Dick Bleckner
and Joe Schero figured in the rest
of the Cadet scoring activities.
Two perfect throws from deep
in the Aggie outfield cut off U of

Cougar shortstop Don Price tried
to stretch a three base hit into an
inside the park homer, but Byrd
fired to center fielder John Stock-

to Williams at home for the out to
end the game.
A&M scored first in the third
inning with two out. Munday, Ab

to load the bases and Byrd smashed
a solid single to drive in two runs.

Closing out A&M’s spring foot
ball practice, the experienced Ma-
rooms crushed the UCLA single
wing Blues 46-0 on Kyle field Sat
urday night in a three hour game-
condition scrimmage.
3 955 sophomores scored all the
touchdowns.
The Maroons, comprised of all
the returning lettermen and the
top 1954 Fish, rolled up a 21-0
halftime lead, then punched out
three touchdowns in the foui-th
quarter after a 60-minute third
quarter had worn down Elmer
Smith’s hard fighting Blues. The
veterans got one touchdown in the
third.
In the second and third periods,
the Reds had to stave off Blue
drives inches from the goal line.
Tailback Luther Hall played the
top role for the Blues, gaining 82
yards on 20 rushes and completing
5 of 19 passes for 66 yards.
He was carried to the dressing
room on a stretcher after being
taken out late in the game, but
was recovering all right yesterday.
Fullback Bobby Ewell ground out
67 yards on 23 tries for “UCLA.”
Soph quarterback Jimmy W'right
scored on a keeper from the one
in the first period after Ed Dud-
; ley’s 26-yard run. Quarterback |
J Bobby Conrad, another ’55 soph, j
! sneaked over from the 2 after his
i 45-yard dart on an option set it up. !
Pint-sized Billy Dendy scored |
[ the only second period touchdmvn,
' an 88-yard dash over left tackle j
behind key blocks from Jack Par-
| dee and Henry Clark.
Halfback Loy'd Taylor, another
| midget, retumed a punt 61 yards
late in the thiiM quarter for a 27-0
lead. Wright scored from the 1 in
the fourth, completing an 80-yard
march started by fullback Roddy
j Osborne’s 40-yarder.
Fullback Ken Hall intercepted a !
Luther Hall pass and returned it
11 yards for the sixth touchdown,
and halfback John Crow returned [
a punt 55 yards late in the period
for the final score.
Quarterback Elwood Kettler and
end Bobby Keith missed the game
because of injuries.
“I thought we looked sharp of
fensively,” said Head Coach Paul
Bryant. “Our blocking and run
ning was real good, but we needed
better linebacking and a lot better
end play.
“Downfield blocking was real
good, and all of the line looked
good offensively. I thought the
UCLA team did an excellent job,
and a damn good job offensively.
Dudley, Crow and Conrad were
tough back there on defense (for
the Maroons).”
Dendy led all rushers with 103
yards on two carries, Conrad was
second with 97 yards on 10 rushes.
Dudley had 60 on 8, Ken Hall 58 on
8, Donald Grant 56 on 6, Osborne
47 on 2 and Crow 35 on 5.
Grant was the leading passer for
the Maroons, completing 4 of 8 for
111 yards.
pete in their second meet, taking
on the Rice Owlets. Varsity foot
baller Tommy Strait and freshman
Ken Hall are due to join Coach
Frank Anderson’s forces this week.
The Cadets swept to victory in
the first five events Saturday,
threatening a runaway, before
Rice, sparked by Harold Griffin,
narrowed the gap.
Griffin, third in the NCAA 440
last year, didn’t run his specialty,
but won the 100 and 220 and ran
the anchor leg on the winning mile
relay team.
Pole vaulter Stephen James, an
Owl junior, provided the meet’s
top thrills, however, going over the
bar at 13-11 as he and Aggie soph
Winton Thomas hooked up in a red-
hot duel.
James’ leap bettered the confer
ence record of 13-10%, set in 1936
by Earl Weichert of Rice, but does
not count since it was not set in the
conference meet.
Thomas leaped 13-8 before going
out. James failed in two tries at
14 feet, quitting after the bar near
ly fell on him the second time.
A&M sophomore Herman John
son threw the shot 52-1, and Tom
Bonorden had a 51-11% put, good
for second. Johnson has taken
first in the shot in all meets the
Aggies have entered this year ex
cept the Pan-American games
warmup.
Fritzie Connally won his third
first plaqe of the season in the
high jump, leaping 6-3. Biggest
upset of the day was in the discus,
where Rice’s Ed Jackson beat the
Aggies’ Lee Newman and John
son. Jackson had 137-4%, an inch
and a half better than Newman.
Gymnastic Meet

A&M’s Gymnastic team will

University of Texas, Dallas Ath
letic club. New Orleans Athletic
