Four Attend Major Sessions on Safety Four A&M men were in Pales tine, May 30-31, for- an American Red Cross national workshop for instructors of life saving and first aid. They were John W. Hill, direc tor, System Personnel Insurance and Safety; Prof. A. D. Adam son, Prof. W. M. Dowell and As sociate Prof P. M. Andrews, of the Department of Health and Physi cal Education. Adamson is a certified instructor of water safety and live saving, and Dowell, Hill and Andrews are certified instructors of first aid. It was shortstop Charley Shoemaker’s double to left center in the fifth inning that scored Larry Hoffman and broke up the deadlock. Ags Threatened The Aggies threatened in the third as Stuffy Davis beat out a bunt down the third base line to lead things off. Dink Patterson sacrificed Davis to second and Davis went to third on Sanderson’s ground out. J. B. Carroll drew a walk and then Davis was out at home in a futile double steal at tempt. Again in the eighth frame the Aggies looked as if they would come to life when the pesky Davis rifled a single through the box into centerfield. He was sacrificed to second by Patterson and went to third on another ground out by Sanderson. But the threat was again smothered when Windel Reed bounced out, short to first. A&M left two runners stranded in the ninth. After Gary Herring ton and Byron Barber went out on long flys, Dick Hickerson singled to right and shortstop Ralph Plumlee drew a walk. Davis then grounded to third where Jesus Ruis made a great play to force Hickerson. In the second contest Tuesday the story for the Farmers was the same—superb pitching, weak hit ting. Schaper Yields Six Hits Big Wayne Schaper of the Ag gies scattered six hits, struck out thi-ee, walked none and still lost it. Burdette Morago started for the Wildcats and tossed a four-hitter. He was reliefed in the ninth by Miles Zeller after the Aggies got two men on base with none away. Morago fanned three and gave up five walks. Again the fifth frame was the big one for the Wildcats. With two away. Jerry Lewis stretched a double into a triple when the ball got away from Byron Barber in !eft field. Bob Wilson followed with a sharp grounder between first and second for a single to score Lewis despite a great stop on the part of Aggie Second Base- man Patterson. The Aggies left the bases full in the ninth. After Patterson ground ’d out, Schaper wa,s safe at first on an error by shortstop Shoe maker. J. B. Carroll hit Morago’s first pitch against the right field fence for a double, sending Schaper to third. Wendel Reed fanned and then Barber was walked to load the bases. Catcher Gary Herrington looked at a third strike to end the threat. Ninth Frame Active Both clubs showed signs of life in the ninth. Arizona left two men stranded after Ruiz and Matt Encinas hit singles, but Schaper got catcher Alan Hall to fly to center to retire the side. Stuffy Davis, the Aggie spark plug, opened the Aggie ninth with a ripping single through the box. Patterson bunted in front of the mound and all runners were safe when the Wildcat hurler chose to throw to second, Davis beating the throw. Wildcat Coach Frank Sancet then brought in Zeller to pitch for the tiring Morago. Schaper went out, trying to bunt on third strike. Zeller walk ed Carroll to load the bases and then Randy Wortham, hitting for Reed, took a called third strike. Barber grounded to short to end the game.
