r By HAROLD AAM14
A&M's baseball team ottened Its
1960 season oh Kyle Field Friday
afternoon with a ! weird 9-6 victory
over the medical men of Brooke
Air: Force Base at San Antonio
before some 2,000 fans. . ', : r\
The booming Tuats of “Shug”
McPherson, A1 Ogletree, and
Henry Candelari and the proficient
pitching of George Brown and
Bruce MorissC combined to give
the Ags a nine-run lead going
intd the top half of the ninth.
Brown, Morisse, and Blanton
Taylpr divided time on the mound
with credit for the outcome going
to Morisse. The southpaw senior
slinger from Nordheim took the
mound for the fourth, fifth, and
) sixth [innings and pitched no-hit
ball, striking out five batters and
walking five.
Brown Shows Promise
After allowing a ringing double
to the lead-off man; in the first
inning, George Brown, a 24-year-
old veteran from Irving, settled
down to show the best control for
the day. The tall right-hander
didn’t yield /another hit during his
three inning stint.
ft.Was a brilliant pitching per
formance between medic mounds-
man Lowell Thomas and Brown
J ’and Morisse for three and a half
innings of play, but Cadet center-
fielder Hollis Baker started the
firewqrks in the bottom of the
fourth with a line-drive single to
left fiatdL
McPherson strode to the plate
and slapped the first pitch for a
hojmerun that Hailed over the cra
ter field harrier, a distance . of
!I67 feet. After HH1 ^arrlner Hied
defep to the left-field, Candelari
drove tme out of* the park tha';
barely cleared thd fence in left
center. ■ ' - \
Ogletree Hpili Uprights
The Aggies added four runs to
I heir total of three In the sixth
off two costly errors, a walk, and
a !)‘i0-fout homeruh by backstop-
per Ogletree tlytt split the up
rights on thegFfootball practice
field.
Southpaw Dave Cranfield re'
Moved Thomas in the sixth inning,
uitd gave up a run in tho seventh
and eighth chapters. One was in
sidiously enacted theft of home
•plate by Wally Moon, the Ag left-
Ogletree led with a booming tri
ple in the eighth and sccond-
bgseman Joe Savarino singled oiyer
the box to drive home Ogletree for
the final Farmer score of the
afternoon, ivj V
Medics Threaten
Taylor- allowed only one hit
while whiffing four during his
first two innings, but turned cold
us a cucumber in the ninth. v
The Hondo Hurler issued three
walks in succession before fan
ning > one, and automatically al
lowed two runs off two additional
free-passes before George Keith
batted in two markers with a sin
gle to center. Candelari got one
at third before Marshall Beseker
swept the bases, with a double.
Goodloe Ends Rally
Marty; Karow- then ushered Sid
Goodloe to the mound. Goodioe
struck out the next batter, put out
the fire, and ended the ball (game
on four quick pitches.
A neatly executed double play by
the Aggie infield in the first
inning saved them from a pos
sible deficit after the Brooke lead-
off man doubled down the left-
field foul line. J-_, • /
The next man hit to Brown -en
the mound who zipped the ball to
Herschel Maltz at first. Maltz
rifled the sphere ta third where
Candaleri tagged out the runner

SH^.’fhis is a rip-snorting saga of skulduggery, love and whip
lash action ... all set in a Texas oil town about fifty years ago.
When young Bass Chalmers returned to Watson. Texes, for
hi* mother's shot-aun funeral, he was plunged into-a black
faliblc ground stroke#.
Morton almost took advantage
of DeBerry’s weak service, but
the number-one Aggie from Sail
Angelo was at his peak with a
forcing brand of tennis. His two
chief weapons were a two-fisted
hackhargl and a sharp, timely at T
tack at the net.

Accotdlng Jto Ag Conch W. M.
Dowell,: the match between Dun

oxnlbltlbn off tennis, as few mis
takes were imade, most of the
points coming on placements.
In the number three singles
match, Royce Tate downed Dec
Ligon, 6-0, 4-6, 6-8. Each netter
played Steady, conservative tennis,-
forcing; his opponefit--to err.
DeBerry ahd Tate'" combined to
defeat [Morton and Sweeney, 6-3,
7-9, 6-4, in the longest battle of
the dag. Shajrp, decisive action at

Tajrs, Duncan and Allen Aaron-

jDick Hardin broke the three-
