bigger and more experienced
baseballers.

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. He has
since increased jiis total to three.
It seems the, young third sack
specialist did not finish his high
school work until after discharge
from a two-year tour in Undo
Sum’s wartime. Navy.
Got The Urge
“While sitting in English class
one day,” says Yogi, “I got the
urge.” That’s when the then sev
enteen-year-old Jeff Davis pupii
went down and .offered his sei>
vices to the Navy. „
“Wanted to go, that’s all, just
.wanted to go,” commented the na-.
tive Houstonian when asked why
he decided to join up
Whether he was looking for ac- to do his only words were “any
tion or not didn’t affect what he
got, for he saw plenty of it while
stationed; in Okina-wa for a year.

‘a Jap suicide plane- al

During his fourteen month over
seas todr in the Pacific, the young
aviation mechanist served in the
Combat (Aircraft Service Unit.
Discharged from the Navy iff

to Sam Houston High School in the

of Houston before heading for

Many A Moon Ago
“Couldn’t remepiber ' when I

Yogi, “was barely able to walk.”
