Of these four, three were „„ 8t t<? Texas and one to Baylor. W e think that that is a pretty good record fojr a team that was picked for fifth 1 place when the baseball season opened. A little bit farther down in the article appears a list of seven graduating seniors (that inciden- tally doesn’t include Jesse “Red” Burditt). The writer is sure those seniors enjpycd seeing a list of theijr accomplishments such- as number of years’ service, batting averages, honors, positions, etc. which was NOT in the article. Approximately one-fourth of the rest of thp sports page contained a detailed Account of the fresh men baseball activities with a paragraph about each player fa very good article!!!). The varsity however, hasn’t even rated a squad listing. Since the Southwest Conference baseball peijnant chase is rated as one of thp toughest races in the country, \ye sincerely regret that only the conference champ can be any better than mediocre. I am sure Baylor, SMU, Rice, and TCU will appreciate the indirect slam at their position in baseball. .9 Thanks, $att, for your “loyal” support which you have so unsel- fishly given us all year Yours for fewer foul Batt, JACK HAPPY, > mg, Gonmunlists dematided that alt mem ijers of the > 8A Bndbrsei immediate elimina tion of ^gr<: fat: on in dbg reports fron bdth dtutants frotii the tjciijoois.
