Hitting m
As Sports Stop Ag
By RALPH GORMAN
A dozen well placed hits paid
itheir dividends last night as the
Bryan Sports humbled the Aggies,
11-4, in Bomber Park.
In the bottom half of the firsf
frame of the eight and one-hijlf
inning ball game the Sports got off
to a scoring start when A1 Kaiser
slammed an inside the park homer
against the center field fente, 444
feet from home plate, with Chet
Studdard aboard. Studdard had
walked.
* Returning in the second inning,
Bryan’s Roland Cyr rapped out a
triple into right center. Cyr scored
J batter later when pitcher Nor-
an Patrick got on by virtue of
Guy Wallace’s error. Studdard
came up to double, scoring Pat
rick.
It was in the top of the fourth
inning that Shug McPherson got
the first Aggie bingle with a clean
‘hit tthrough shortstop.

Long John DeWitt then stepped
up to the plate and sent the apple
out' of-the park directly over the
“Talk of the Town’’ sign board—
scoring two runs and winning a
“sizzling steak" from the manage
ment of the Talk of the Town
Cafe. >
Wally Moon singled in the fifth
with the hoses loaded and A1
-Ogletree raced across the plate to
put the Farmers just one run be
hind the Sports.
This same fifth inning proved
.to be the “big^dne for the Sports

Shug McPherson
culty in making a decision can be
gained by checking the records of
the contenders. • McPherson, the
Ft. Worth diamond pride, main
tained his sensational pace at the
plate by batting an even .500 for
the week’s three tilts. _
Baseballers Star
All three of the Ag baseballcrs
starred despite the fact’ the Aggies
won only one contest, a 12-9 loop
victory over Rice, while dropping
two, one to Houston^ AA Buffs,
4-6, and another to Bryan’s Sports,
9-10.
McPherson compiled his average
with six hits in 12 trips, includ
ing three doubles, anil boasted two
runs scored and three more batted
in.
Speedy center-fielder Moon
meanwhile scattered five hits over
the landscape in 14 trips to bat
for a .357 mark and included a
•home run and a double in the safe
ties. The Bay, Ark., athlete scored
a remarkable eight tallies in the
three games and drove in still an
other?
Wallace Back Again
Wallace, 1949 AU-Southwcst
shortstop, had not seen any ac
tion this spring until the Houston
game because of a chipped hope
in his ankle. However, the Dallas
{ ifoduct is making up for lost time,
udging by his .571 average for
action last week. In his only ap
pearance against the Buffs, as a
pinch-hitter, Wallace waited out
» walk. i /
Against the Owls the ace shoiit-
stop came through with a single
for two appearances at baL and
facing Bryan he poked three hits
into the hinterlands—two of them
two-baggers. Four rups scored
showed on the Dailasite’s record.

Battalion Casting Editor
Something new in the way of
exhibitions will be staged tomor
row night in DeWare 'Field House
at 7:30.
Yep, fishermen, here is a
chance for you to find out just
exactly what the finer points are
to casting and trap shooting in the
,world of the “field’n stream.”
Five outstanding personalities
deemed the best in their business
Will be on hand to demonstrate
both bait and fly casting as well
as skeet and trap shooting.
This unique demonstation is
sponsored by the Physical Educa
tion’ Department and is under the
Kadera, Hall, and Simpson all
cracked records in their specialties
in the Quarterback Relays Sat
urday. Kadera joined Hampton as
the Aggies’ only double-winners.
Kadera Tops Record
Big George erased his own dis
cus mark with a 169’ 3J4” heave
and also!won the shot put. Hamp
ton contributed an equal point
total by taking firsts in the mile
and two-mile as the Ags topped
Texas, 66 1/3 to 64 1/3, with Rice
trailing with 39 1/3. j
Hall lowered the low hurdles
record to 23.0 and added valuably
points by annexing "third in the
century. Simpson, still another po
tential conference record-breaker,
set a new standard for the pole
vault at 13’ 6”—barely missing a
14* vault.
Sparks 1
Former national fly casting
champion Jack Sparks will ex
hibit the skill with which he has
achieved fame as the “champ’. 1
Sparks, who is an authority on
angling techniques, has been auth
or, columnist, and fishing and
hunting editor for outdoor sports
in both magazines and newspapers.
Sparks has held seven national
championships easting and was
U. S. All-Around Fly Champion in
1837-38 and 1940.
The expert caster still holds
the unofficial world’s distance fly
record with single-hander rods,
having made three casts in five
