over his performances for AAM

Previous to last Friday; Morisse

low a j hit.
This L BruceV second year , in
baseball for A&M. He is a innior
and will have two more years of
cligibilitiy left after this season.
His home is in Nordheim.
Last summer. Morisse hurled
for the Victoria Rosebuds and won
five games. His improvement over
last year is attributed to hip con
stant practice and playing exper
ience gained with that team all
last summer.
Being a southpaw has given
Bruce some advantage against
most teams in the Southwest. Most
teams have an over-abundance of
right-handers. Also, his fast
and change of pace keeps bat|
guessing.
If Bruce continues to improve,
mark him as one of the outstand
ing pitchers in the Southwest Con
ference this year. The AggiCs are
going to have to depend on him a
lot these, next two years.
The Aggie Bowljng team will

An encouraging note was
found in the scores posted by
the Aggies last night in their
weekly practice session. Wally
Dixon nosed out Bubba William

enchillada dinner at Smitty’s
Caff, North Gate.
• Dikon posted a 530 series to

FRUIT JARMVHISKEY
CAUSES $100 FINE
AUSTIN, March 24 —<*»>— Be
cause of !an opened quart fruit jar
of whiskey the Court of Criminal
appeals reversed a case.
Joe Smith of Jefferson (Mar
ion Counity) was charged with pos
sessing unstamped whiskey. He
pleaded innocent. At hi* trial in
Jefferson last October the county
attorney pasted around a quart
fruit jar artd invited the juror* to
sniff I it to be sure it was whiskey.
Smith'* attorney objected, saying
it prejudiced the jury.
But Smith was convicted and
fined $100. The appeals court up
held the objection to the open
fruit jar and tent the case back
for a riew tfial.

Ohio State and A&M will play
the first of a three game series
on Kyle Field this afternoon be-,
ginning at Three. Last year the
two teams met in a similar series
with the Northern team taking two
of the three games.
This year the Farmer* hope to
make a better showing against
a team that Texas has beat in
at least two of three games this
season. The Buckeyes started
their Texas tour at Austin Mon
day losing to the Longhorn* 11-5
Tuesday the Steers repeated for
4i 7-4 win.
Coach Marly Karow expects to
start Bruce Morisse in the game
this afternoon, Blanton Taylor to
morrow afternoon, find Pat Hubert
Saturday. All throe of these pitch*
ere are sophomores in eligihllity
although Morisse ha* played one
year of varsity ball. His freshman
year, when Kish were eligible for*
intorroHegtato nports, he wa*n't on
tho ball team. /
Pat Hubert and Blanton Tay
lor played with the Fish team
of last year. Taylor alternated
between the outfield and pitch
ing. This year the coach has the
Hondo Aggie concentrating on
the mound duties. Pat Hubert
was (he lad who turned the Tex
as freshmen back in the game
played in Austin last year.
Bobby Fretz, number two pitch
er for the Aggies last year, will
not be used on the mound this
year unless it is discovered that
he is needed there. His power at
the plate is going to be utilized
by the coach to its greatest extent.
Fretz will either be on first or
in the outfield. If he does not play
the position at the initial sack,
that spot will probably be handled
by Herschel Maltz. John DeWitt,
who has also been playing in the
outfield also might see service
at first. \ ' /
