If Texas starts Jimmy Hand, hot southpaw, the game may develop into another pitching duel, such as the last one. In that game, both pitchers were almost equal, with sharp clutch play by the Fish pay ing off for the win. Starting behind the plate' for the Fish will probably be Don Heft or Mason Cash ion. Charley Russell, Fish right field er, is top hitter for the ; Cadets, although Texas may be his ne mesis.

Should report to the isrns on the morning of the klla' Ti Longhorn, Owl ersiTo Clash Today This afternoon at 3 on Rice Diamond in Houston, the T e x|a s Longhorns baseball squad will meet th0 Rice Owls, hoping to j win its fifth con ference game of the season in or der to continue its lead in the SWC race. Should the Owls win, jit would be Choir second jconference win of the' season and, at the saine time, it would throw the Aggies into, a tie with the Steers. • i * But the Texans are not to pes simistic of the 1 outcome! of this game or of the SWC race, having defeated the Houstonians 27 straight games and having won the conference baseball crown, 29 of the past 35 seasons. Texans Feel Safe Texas’ coach Bibb Falk’s big reason for being on the safe side is his pitching staff which includes two All-Americal hurlers. The Longhorn’s hurling quartet of Murray Wall, Frank: Womack (both were on the All-" team last season), Jim E’ Charles Gorin, is probab _ the strongest that the swatting SWC has seen. At any rate, the Steers are not short handed on the mound. But in the outfield ahd infield Coach Falk has ?een a need for the fairly conaisten) hitting of Gor in who now plpys on first base, while Womack, who iaj clouting the sphere at a .306 dipt holds an outfield pasture. Steers Loss The Austinites big loss this sea son came when All-America first baseman Tom Hamilton, catcher Dan Watson, and outfielder Ed Kneupor turned pro. Hurling for the Owls will be either John Finch or Walter Dca- IcM. Rice’s starters for today’s game will probably include Doyle Beard, shortstop, catcher' Dave* Golibart. first baseman Dave Devine, second baseman John Churchwcll, third baseman Vernon Glass, and out fielders Joe Newbill, Rex Proc ter, and Billy Wright. (two for four), Ralph Grime* (two for four), and Spider Webb! ( Blan- open- br four), and Spider Webb i (two fbr four) pushod six too many runs across the plate. ! < Starting pitcher for Sam Houston will be either Suba or “Lefty" Craig, another Effective mounds- man. Coach Marty Karbw yesterday it would be either ton Taylor or Sam Blanton ing for the Cadets. In their conference debut, the Aggies edged Baylor, 4-3, in Waco April 1. Pat Hubert was credited with the victory. George Brown, who has looked very good in re lief stints, pitched the remaining three and two-thirds innings, al lowing no runs. A ninth inning A&M rally, sparked by a' pinch-hit homer by A1 Ogletree, and a bases-loaded double by John DeWitt, enabled the locals to out-slug Rice, 12-9, in Houston Thursday, April 6. Sid Goodloe was the winning pitcher. The Texas Longhorns smother ed the Aggies, 12-2, in College Sta tion April 12, to temporarily force A&M out of the race. Sam Blanton was charged with the defeat while Murray Wall, rubber-armed right hander, hung up the victory. Last week the Aggies gained an excellent opportunity for a chance at the crown, when Texas was upset by Baylor, 1-2. To give some possible indication of future base ball strength, Baylor’s freshmen beat the Bear varsity two' weeks ago with Adrian Burk yielding the winning run. In A&M’s final outing, the SMU pine was drubbed, 9-1, in I Dallas Wednesday. Pat Hubert notched his second SWC win. The sturdy right hander allowed the Methodists only five base blows while tfie Ag hitting was sparked by a sixth inning homer by Yale Lary who broke in at first base.

Texas nudged the A&M combin ation in the conference meet held on March 18th with SMC finish ing third. The margin between the first and third teams wbs small enough that the race must be con sidered a tossup on the basis Of past records.
