-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.

- 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.
