The 23-year-old PE major id at present holding down the “hot corner” on the Aggie baseball team, apd is one of the few play ers who has started every game this season, ; 0 Although batting way down in the lineup, the Houston pifoduct— in eleven games this season—has collected twelve hits in forty-twb trips to the plate for ah average of .286. \ Candelari, starting his first sea- Kbn of athletic eligibility with the Aggies, could not play last season because of scholastic deficiencies. probably his most startling per formance of the young season came in the second Minnesota contest when the talented PE major slum med put two home runs.
