Pressly and “Tex” Thornton. Press-
ly was good for seven hits includ
ing four doubles, one triple, and
two homeruns in 11 official trips
to the plate in the two games.
Thornton, in ten trips, blasted out
seven safeties, two singles, four
two-baggers, and one homer.
The Aggie twirlers had a hard
time in the first game finding the
plate, and issued 14 walks. Johnnie
Shufford worked the first four in
nings, and Elmer Purtle toiled the
remaining five. Shufford in his
four innings gave up five free
passes.
In the second game Henry Lind
sey started, but ran into trouble
quickly, and was relieved by “Hub”
Moon after one and a third in
nings. Moon worked for three in
nings, and Earl Beesley finished up
the game. Beesley did a master
piece of pitching, and shut out
Southwestern the remaining four
and a half innings.
Coach Dimmitt was happy about
the entire situation, especially the
way his boys banged the horsehide
all over the lot, and the way they
fielded, but he was of the opinion
that these two games were not fair
indications of the strength of his
team because Southwestern is a
little on the weak side. The coach
is still worried about his pitching
staff, but feels that one or two of
them will work out the kinks in
their arms before the conference
