Arizona Tiptoes Past Runless Aggies
By Marlin Resident
Unidentified Aggies
Get Commendation
On May 28 President M. T.
Harrington received a letter from
John E. Lloyd of Marlin com
mending two Aggies for going out
of their way to prevent Lloyd and
his wife from being involved in
a possible auto accident.
The letter went as follows:
Dear Sir:
I wish to express my appre
ciation through the medium of
this letter to two of your stu
dents and hope that you will
find an opportunity to thank
them for me publicly.
On Sunday evening, April 17,
about the time of dusk, they ex
tended a helping hand to my
wife and myself approximately
three miles south of Marlin.
The fuel line of our car had be
come blocked leaving us stalled
on a long bridge on the route
to Marlin.
These two students were re
turning to Bryan, recognized
our dilemma, stopped, reversed
their direction and returned to
render assistance. At great in
convenience to themselves, they
helped us off the bridge and
pushed us into a safety zone
away from the path of fast
traffic.
It is not especially for the

occasion of helping us avoid a
possible accident for which they
are to be commended, but also
for the sincere concern over
our plight, their pleasant man
ner and their selfless effort to
help others less fortunate than
they.
For their actions they are to
be commended as they in no
small way reflect great credit
upon themselves and their
school. They have indeed up
held the traditions M'hich so
richly are endowed in your fine
institution. •
Unfortunately, the confusion
existing at the time of this inci
dent caused us to forget their
names. In your efforts should
you discover their identity,
please convey our sincere
thanks to them. Otherwise sim
ply regard this as my feeble ef
fort to thank you for the out
standing performance of those
two students >vho are indeed
deserving of much praise. ’
Sincerely,
John E. Lloyd
President Harrington answered
Lloyd’s letter with a letter on the
same date. His letter included this
paragraph:
I am sorry that we do not
have the names of these two
students to thank them public
ly, but we will make every ef
fort to do so. Our students are
finishing their final exams this
week and most of them will be
leaving for the summer so that
it will be difficult to locate
them, but I do want to thank
you for writing.
Whoever the two Aggies may
be they surely deserve a pat-on-
the-back from everyone con
nected with the school.

Teasing Cats Take
Both Games by 1-0
Aggie righthanders Percy Sanderson and Wayne Schaper
hurled superbly Monday and Tuesday nights at Travis Park,
but their efforts were heartbreakingly null as the Aggie
stickmen were incapable of producing runs.
Arizona grabbed both games in the best two out of three
NCAA Region 6 series by the sneaky tune of 1-0. The wins
enabled the Wildcats to advance to the College World Series
in Omaha, Neb., their fifth trip to the event.
A crowd of 3,800 saw lean Percy Sanderson and A1 Ward
in a brilliant pitching duel in the first game Monday. Sander
son, at his best struck out 13 Wildcat hitters and walked
only two. He yielded five hits. Ward, who walked five and
♦struck out five, pitched a cool
' six-hitter.

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.
