Aggien, and" tnene Individuals
should also got far in the national
picture. -4'
Last season - the Cadets’ Bob
Hall broke the conference record
in the low hurdles, but there the
hurdle points stopped. This
spring, due to the addition of two
promising sophomore stars, the
Aggies should make 15 points or
more in the hurdle events.
Paul Leming, the first of these
two sophs, is the overwhelming
favorite in the highs, having won
his favorite -event in the three
meets | to date and running a fine
14.7 at Laredo, Maridi 11. He should
also place in the. lows and might
as easily cop first in these as
third or fourth. 1
•f • State AA Titlist
Leming was state AA champion
in the highs and lows in ’4$ while
running for Beaumont High and
set a new record of 21.4 - ip the
200-yard lows, but because of a
Strong tail wind it was not recog
nized as a national record. He was
undefeated last year as a frashnian
and obtained national recoignition
for: his 14.5 in the highs and 22.7
in the lows. *
The other brilliant soph hurdler
in thb low hurdles. Bless has
-been hampered by the additional
three inches on the college highs,
but- by league competition time
should have it whipped down so
as to place in that race.
His best bet is the lows where
he may yet beat Hall and Leming
both and should be a cinch for a
third at least, come conference
meet time.
Bet National Record
Prom Brackenridge, San Anton

pion in the lows '1ft '48 and set a
new national and big city record,
running a 21.8. With no wind to
help or hamper, his mark was

Malts Climbs To
Success With Ags
By F. E. SIMMEN, JR.
Sports Feature Editor
Climbing out of the cradle into a baseball first sacker’s
uniform was an early ambition of A&M first-bagger Her-
schel Maltz. “That ambition just about came true”, com
mented Herschel. i <
Born and reared in Houston, Maltz says he has pla;
on at least ten different organized ball clubs since he
started playing in ’42| with the Lipnecola nine in the Hoi
City League.' |
Maltz, a member of the T As
sociation since ’46, was also foot
ball manager for ( two yejars under
the Homer Norton reg;i|ne.
Now Takes Business
A new business major, Maltz had
quite a few experiences in his
three years in the engineering de
partment. “When I firdt came
down here,?’ said Matte, “every
body was some kind of On engineer,
so I decided to become one, too”.
“The surprise came”, Maltz fur
ther commented, “white j I was sit
ting in serfiinar class list semes
ter.” It seerns that after three
Herschel Maltz
years and two weeks in the ME
department, Maltz, while listening
to the head of his department talk
ing on the advantages of his car
eer, suddenly decided he had
enough. “That’s the date I signed
up for business,” said Maltz.
Maltz expects to enter the pa
per business with his father upon
graduation in ’51. His father, vice
president of the Houston Paper
Company, has been in that profes
sion for quite some time.
Enthusiastic About Sports
The 20-year-old company com
mander of B Athletics'likes most
any kind of sports; “Play ’em
all,” explains Herschel, “but you
can guess what my favorite is.
A regular first sackcr last sea
son, Maltz is holding down the in-
ing a fine job of it.! Probably his
best showing of the young season
came Monday when he bagged four
hits in four times at the plate.

Woirianck, now a pitcher and

Maltz played ball together before,
during, and after high school. “We
played together on the old South

until we went off to college,” said

Limecols Bstboy
“I really sturtcxl out when 1 was
ten years old,” said Maltz, describ
ing his experience as part time
player and bat boy for the old
Limecola nine In the Bayou C ( ity.
Although spending six weeks in
summer camp, Maltz managed to
serve a seven week jaunt with the
Elkton Pirates, a Maryland semi-
pro team in the Susquannaha Riv
er Valley League.
Sticking to’ first base, Maltz,
banged the apple at a better than
.400 mark during his stay at
camp.
Joins Conroe Nine
Returning to Texas the latter
part of the summer, Maltz signed
to play with the Conroe Wildcats.
Again it was a first base assign
ment and a batting average oVer
the .300 mark. -
Maltz holds down the vice-presi
dency office ip the Houston A&M
Club. He is a member of the Bus
iness Society and the Vice-presi
dent of the Aggie Hiltel Club.
Tribute to Dad
Maltz was grateful that his fath
er coached and helped him along
with his baseball career in every
way possible—“When I was fiiat
born my Dad put a first baseman’s
mitt in my hands, and I’ve had
one. ever since, he explained.
“Still today, I don’t think I’ve
ever played a game that’s satis
fied him”, the Houstonian added.
We are wiling to make a bet
though. If Hersch keeps on play
ing his usual brand of ball ho will
not only satisfy his Dad, but a
whole lot of Aggies as well.
