When Bobby Dean, the Out standing high school sprinter of Corpus ran the 220 yard dash in 20.5 seconds, last Friday night a re-check showed that he had actually run 218 yards with a 14 mile per hour wind at [his back. This is still a good time and, Dean is probably the out standing sprinter in the state this year; Young Warren Anderson was close on the heels of the Corpus dash man in both the 100 and 220 yard races. Warren is the third Apderson brother to perform well in the dashes for Brackenridge High School of San Antonio. Both of ms big brothers have tome to A&M and one, Gary, is now on the Freshman track team.

Bruce Morisse, fast developing Aggie pitcher, has now gone 17 innings without allowing an earn ed run to be scored against him. He started the string when he went in against Baylor, in the second game. Not a Bruin was allowed to cross the plate in that time. Then the: Nordheim cadet started against the Hous ton Buffs and hurled scoreless ball for six innings. ' Last Thursday Morisse pitched two hit ball against the strong Baylor Bears to w^n* 2-1. The Bears scored on an error, just as the Aggies scored both of their runs after the Waco team had flawed in the field. Every run in thie game was caused by an error. I ■ A: tali on O R T WEDNKSJ^LY.

Three of, these newcomers to the Aggie Varsity, who are carrying their share of the duties, are John DeWltt, Wally Moon, and Guy Wallace. John DeWitt, who became one of the mainstays of the basketball: team after a slow start, m rapidly becoming a threat when he takes up the old hickory for the Aggies. Following his ways of the basket ball season, John hit a snag dur ing the warm-up games. Then tho lanky lad really came Into his own and started boltiag’ (k* ball all over the park. At the present time, he is also leading the team in hits and runs twitted in. By no moans is bis en tire value found in the box, for ha Is also doing a fine job of covering left field. Aa it looks now, he hai that position pretty well in the bag. - -' 1 Li Coming to the Aggies from Wapo, John brought with him a fine record, both' in baseball and basketball. What few people real ise in connection with nia athletic ability, is that John was an All- State catcher in high school. As a freshman at Aggieland, he was shifted to first base. The future is looking extremely rosy for the Central Texas lad whose early ! performances had people wondering about his worth to the team. It all goes to show that with a spirit like John’s any thing can and might well happen. No Moon Ii^ Arkansas Arkansas gave, up one of her sons to the Texas Aggies and are probably bemoaning the fact Wal ly Moon, “The Ozark Kid,” has been busy since coming to College Station. He has already made a name for himself on the hardwood of the basketball court, and is now doing the same on the baseball field. While in Arkansas, Wally play ed for an American Legion ball club, as well as a number of semi- pro clubs. As! a member of the Freshman team at Aggieland, he held down the center field spot, although he played short previous ly, where Re did a good job. He was also one of the six Aggie fish to bat over .300. Moving up to the varsity this Moon stepped right into season, the sai become a pen the same position, where he has inent fixture. Like DeWitt, he had some trouble get ting the bat off bis shoulder at the first of the season, but it seems that he has now hit his stride and is collecting his share of the hits. This together with the way be picks them out of the ait in center field makes him a val uable player. A Guy Named WrtUcf Still another of the Farmer’s very talented sophomores ia k< young Dallas lad Guy Wallace. Though he sported a .800 plus bat ting average last year for the Fish Guy is best known for his brilliant play at the shortstop. This bespectacled, stocky built, five foot six inch ball hawk is a vital fixture in the Farmer double play combination which has saved the day for them op several oc casions. Making spectacular stops on hard drives through his sons of defense looks easy whsn Guy does It. When the Aggies played Rice in Houston, it wasn't the two bit pitching of tho Aggie pitcher that bgd everyone talking, instead it was tho two great stops made by Guv Wallace. With such sophomore material as these three men and others playing great games for them, the Aggies arc definitely the team to beat. With five sophomores on the starting line-up, they are going strong and if any team has ideas toward winning the conference crown, they had better keep their eyes on the sophs from Aggieland. ‘Y’ Bowling Alleys Re-Open Today Bowling practice has been postponed due to the Bob Hope Show. “No excuses for poor scores can be attributed to the “Y” bowling alleys,” W. C. Hill, manager, said yesterday. All four of the alleys in the basement of the YMCA re ceived a complete overhaul during the Easter holidays. The reopening ceremonies were scheduled for this morning, with several of the rabid bowlers prom ising to be the first to roll a game on the "new wood.” ID1NBURG, Tex., >le gum kinaf wasn’t atyut gum today.
