Thur Fri -BASEBALL- (Continued from Page 3) ner seems to fit in right field but both he and Schulke can handle the outfield assignments with ease and impartiality. Last year, all of these boys hit over the .300 mark. Their power will be needed this year. The infield has a number of players lining up for positions. At first base, both Bill Hilliard and John DeWitt will vie for the spot. Joe Savarino, up from the Fish team, will be at second to back Lindloff up or take his place. Sa varino may be shifted to third or short stop should the need arise. Guy Wallace a powerful hitter as well as a good defender, is defi nitely in the running for short stop. Henry Candilari plays third base with ease but stands by as an excellent infield fill in. Pitching will definitely be the Aggies’ weak spot. Besides Fretz and Morrisse, Karow will try Pat Hubert and Blanton Taylor as starters. Hubert had the best rec ord of the Fish pitchers and Taylor is both an outfielder and pitcher. Alvis Nixon, another squad- man from last year, is back and will probably be saved for his best job, that of relief work. Truett Mobley, Bob Southall, E. L. Winder, and Charlie Howard all look like good prospects of strengthening the pitching staff. With Calvert out for a spell, catching chores will he handled by Bob Graham and Bill Dennis. Gra ham is a power hitter from the last year’s freshman squad. Experience is the big factor lack ing in this squad. This might make the Aggies loose several games in the early part of the season but finish with a spree of wins. With experience short, you can expect this year’s team to be strong on spirit and effort, and these can pay off in the win and loss column as well as experience. Austin Club Plans Meeting Tonight Plans for an Easter party will be discussed by the Austin Club at a meeting tonight at 7:30 in Room 104 of the Academic Build ing, Bill Bird, president of the club, announced. Bird also announced that Miss Joan Farrar has been selected to represent the club as duchess to the Cotton Ball and Pageant. She will be escorted by Ace Jordan, junior civil engineering student of C Flight, Air Force. Miss Farrar was recently selec ted in the top ten most beautiful girls in the annual Aqua Carnival at Texas University, Bird said. He requested that all students from Austin attend the meeting.

College Shoe Repair North Gate DYERS'FUR STORAGE HATTERS moncan * - HISTORY - (Continued from Page 1) a professor in the Agronomy De partment at the University of Illi nois. Soldier Woods spent 26 months in the European theater assigned to a tank regiment of the Third Armored, “The Spearhead Divi sion.” He participated in the five ETO campaigns: Normandy, Nor thern France, Ardennes, Rhineland and Central Europe. He was dis charged with the rank of Major. September of 1946 he started teaching at A&M. His job has since been concerned with shoving Histories 105, 106, and 306 down reluctant Aggie’s throats. The stigma of being Yankees will always be placed on both Dr. and Mrs. Woods. However, their daughter Lome, aged two, is a citizen of Texas under the rule of “Jus Soli.” Despite his bad habit of giving “pop” quizzes and throwing rather sharp curves on his letter exams, Dr. Woods is an extremely popu lar instructor. His amusing side lights on historical events and per sons plus his witty lectures are guaranteed to keep the students interested. No one ever complains of being bored in a course taught by Dr. Paul J. Woods.
