Tex •Thornton and Cotton Lindloff are back at short stop and second base respectively. Thornton and Lindloff are the de fensive backbone of the Aggie team. Stan Hollmig and Bobby Fretz may take up duties at first and third base at times. ★ Coach Karow may use Russell Mays or Red Burditt if no other; infielders are developed. Burditt may be carried as a utilityman; he also plays the outfield. Walter Willingham returned to | the A&M outfield this year. A j Seagravcs, Texas boy, Willing- I ham cracked out Five home runs last year. He will probably take i over the center field patrol. Up from the “B” team of last j year are Zeke Strange and “Dusty” Clark. Both are able hitters and j Clark plays efficiently in the right 1 field garden vacated by Hub Moon, j The shortest mart on the team, “Dusty” stands a scant five-foot- four. Also available for outfield dut^ is Allan Hughes, who played last year but did not letter. This could be the basis for the 1948 Aggig baseball team. Over 75 players reported the first day of spring practice and some have not yet had a chance to prove themselves to the coaches. - In accordance with the new A&M athletic policy, lyarmv said, “Every position on the team this year is wide open.” \ So is the SWC, Karow might have added. * Sydon “Rocky" Hrachovy and Charles Whitton established most the-individual scaring records in $tate championship junior col lege basketball tournament coiiir pleted here Wednesday) , {{rnetory jda^W > fenter for Blinm Junior College of Brenham.
