to outdistance'S. M. U.’s Lany

This means that the conference
race is definitely narrowed down

Cai Calvert, letterman from last
year will take the blunt of the
catching duties till then.
Otfly two spots are filled in the
Agg|e infield. 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.

Whitten also set the record
for the most field goals in one
game—15—and the most points
