McCoy Was the second Ca det moundsnian and received credit for the victory. The Pirates nicked McCoy for their first tally in the third with two hits and some errg- jtie play in the Cadet infield. Larry- Ludkie relieved McCoy at the beginning of the fifth inning qnd Pat Hubert worked the final three stanzas for the Farmers. Hubert was the victim of some questionable support in the eight and ninth frames and the Pirates tallied four times on only two hits. The Farmers hit hard as well as often yesterday. Two; round trip pers arid four doubles, were in cluded iri the 14-hit barrage. Short stop Guy Wallace of Dallas paced the Junior Aggie attack ^ith thrpq safeties" in four trips to the plate. Lead-tfff man Joe Savarino did just Wtiat a leacLoff hitter is supposed to do. He reached first safely six times in as many tries. However, Savarino went to ex tremes to reach the initial sack. He was twice hit by pitched balls. Outfielder Dave Britt got the first Aggie home run for the 1948 se&soh when he smacked one of pitcher Ray Rister’s curve balls over the center , field fence in the kqventhj; inning. Infielder Wallace Mbon duplicated Britt’s feat in the eighth frame with a drive over the right Held fence. Catcher Bob Graham made (he catch of the day in the third inning with a one-hand nab of a pop-up. The ball would have been hard to Aret under any circumstances, and tnK Aggie maskmaii-had to contest with' the Pirates’ Jiriuny Metcalf for the^ball. ; ix ^ii; ;i!i \ ' ^ -v i Aggie Thinly-Cl Title At Ft Woi By DON ENG ELK ING ] his assistant Ray Pftt Boasting at least one oiltstand-! l h« close of last trft«k |Ib|n ing entry in every event, the Texas I They includje: Bill Aggie track squad journeys to Fort hurdler, who;! was a who r; Ca l wOn seas gies onlritoi Worth this week-end to defend, their title in the University divi- siori of the Southwestern Recrea- tiori,Track and Field Meet.
