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

and, Dean is probably the out

this year;
Young Warren Anderson was

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.

IMXI CATCHER CATCH Kb
DHKK'S IKKi ”
Sophomores who had many of
the Aggie fans worried due to
their inexperience in college play
are doing their bit to make the
Farmer nine’' one of the most
dreaded in the conference.
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.”
