Shou the favored Cadets win this onle, it would be the fourth straight victory this year and another step toward an undefeated seasojn, along with a fourth straight co ference crown. LSU boasts a well-rounded leaf with at least one outstanding mi in all but the distance events. A&M’s depth should again be tpc deciding factor.

'I .. After retiring the Oklahomans, three up, three down! in the top half of the first frame, Lester Lackey stepped up to the plate for the Aggies. Lackey was call ed out on strikes, second sacker Joe Savarino gained first after being hit with the ball, and Moon and McPherson received walks. DeWitt started the scores rolling iki with a Texas Leaguer, driving ip Savarino for the first Cadet tally. Hank Candelari, third baseman, then hit to short right field to drive in Moon, after which Hersch- el Maltz, Ag first sacker, Hied out. Catcher Jim CalVert walked and McPhersoh came in to leave the bases still loaded. DeWitt Steals Morisse was up for his first plate attempt and had a 1-1 count on him when, suddenly but surely, DeWitt started gunning for home plate as fast as his long legs could travel, attempting something more than a steal—just grand larceny. C l| Sandel apparently! didn't see him leave the base and released his pitch to Morisse. For a few sec onds there was some doubt if the pitched ball would get to the plate before DeWitt. Both arrived at about the same moment, with the umpire ruling the lanky Wacoan safe. The crowd roared with laugh ter at one of the most colorful Not only did DeWitt steal a base, but effected a triple steal as Candelari and Calvert also ad vanced. When hit, he smack whi/h scored both Candelari and Calvert Lackey started the bat ting order again and this time singled, bringing in Morisse. Ev erybody hits and everybody scores, or so it seemed. j. Savarino was thrdwn out at first to retire the side, with the entire Okie nine breathing a huge sigh of | iwlief.
