week-end when they

if you will allow us
won-lost record (for
- - ,—- °f Batt staff writers
only, since all Aggies know our
record) is eleven games won and
four lost. 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.
