By HAROLD GANN / Baseball is the featured sports event in College Station this week/ end as fourth place TCU invades Kyle Field for a three-game stint with AAM. J A tingle game will , be played Friday and a double header Sat urday will make up for a rainod- but tussle and complete the ser-i ies. Friday’s clash will commence at 3 p. m. and Saturday’s (jwin bill will get underway at one. Coach Marty Karbw’ announced that one of Saturday's games would be a seven-inning affair, probably the last contest. Thi* time last year, sports fans may recall, the Horned brogs tem porarily knocked the Aggies out of the SWC race. Jijn “Curlv" Barnett pitched 6-hit ball as TCU won, 10-6, in College Station. May Be Hubert Again A&M’s starting pitcher was Pat Hubert, who was relieved in the seventh by Blanton Taylor, the eventual loser. Hubert may get the nod tomorrow. Though he will be seeking rc- i TqU as a whole L won't tapgle with Bamett, graduated last year. Ingtosd Hubert will fade “Knobby" Graves, 6 tall right-hander who nas hurled five and six-hjtters consistently. Authorities say Graves stacks up with the best conference pitch ers; he and Murray Wall of Texas are Most frequently mentioned us prpbablc all-cbnferonce men; Could Be Blanton If Hubert isn’t the Aggie start er, it’ll be Sum Blanton, sophomore port-sider. George Brown and Blanton Taylor will be available for fireman duty.' Despite Texas University’s ini- pressive 6-1 record, the Cadets fsafely In second place with a 3-1 mark) have a mathematical chance to slip by the Longhorns.

But these people don’t stop ((o realize that this 1950 team has been meeting stiffer competiticn than earlier teams did—and in reality the team is another fine combination. It’s only trouble is that it is hampered by having what is perhaps the nation’s be it mile relay just*a few miles awry at Rice Institute. The Owl relay team Is undefeat ed this year and may well remain so m proving itself the nation’s best, but the A&M quartermi)ejrs have been right behind ’em in every meet. Only once have tne Cadets finished further back thajn Star of the Week Kansas Relays Champion Kadera Gains Bait Honors The, Big Hoy did it again? Giant i a tic' for second in that event iat George Kadera won the plaudit*.|Lawrence, pfj The Battalion sports staff as Star of the Week for April 16-22. With rain marring the jAg?i e Former State Champion rai|n marring baseball schedule and only part of -the Cadet track squad seeing action at Lawrence, ' Kansas, Ka- dera’s feat of capturing the Kan sas Relays discus event with a 166’ 4” heave appeared tops for the local sports world last week. Competition was not lacking, iwever, as all-conference short stop Guy Wallace led the Ag Baseball dine in two victories. Against SMU in Dallas Tuesday the former all-stat«r slapped out two doubles in two official trips to the plate and scored three HUns in thd 9-to-l Cadet victory.. Although going hitless in the 4-to-3 win Saturday over , Sam Houston’<g potent diamond crew, Wallace stole home for the second A&M talljy after he had waited out a base on balls in hisTirst time at bail. The other two strongest all-con ference contenders on the collet nine, Shug McPherson andi Wally Moon, failed to show up as well as they had in previous encounters. Two pitchers, Pat Hubert and Blanton Taylor, did come to the forefront j with their exhibitions. , Hubert jlset the Mustang^ down with only; five hits and a; single run and Taylor for six innings lim ited the Htrong Lone Star Confer ence team to six hits and three tal- SmST, . Strongest contender besides Wal lace for !tho award won by Kg- dera was Mr. Track—Jack Simp son. Simbson vaulted 13’8'i to gain The Philadelphia Athletics have finished {but of the first division of ,the Aihorican League only once {since IP.'i.'i. Simpson was Texas high school broad jump champion several years ago When a student at Wood- row Wilson in Dallas (Bob Hall is another Woodrow Wilson pro duct). No\y he is capable of win ning points in at least four events, the high jump, broad jump, javelin throw, and his specialty, the pole yiauii; We imagine the likeable field- man, -who now lives in Denyer, Colorado, would be a match (for Bob Goode in the decathelon. And Goode, who was a standout “frejsh- man” player for the pro-football Washington Redskins last fall, w as among the best all-around trajek- sters in the country when he want ed to be. Simpson’s 13’ 8” is probably best vault for a Southwest Confer ence collegian since pre-war dpys when Texas’ Beefus Bryan splitting the ozone at numerous’ record’ heights. Seven Meets, Seven Wins kadera’s outstanding diH record so far this season slpwis seven first place heaves in seven meets entered—and four were ov er 165 feet with a fifth just Tall ing short at 164’7”. Two of the Houstonian’s winijuhir tosses were record-setters, At the Border Olympics K lowered a 16-ycar-old reepr in the Corpus Christ! Quarterback Relays he surpassed an i record of hi* own. Kadera’s seven tosses t< arc: Nprth Texas dual meet—149’ 4’>. fr - * Border Olympics—165’ 1014". Rice dual meet—164’ 7 L8U dual njieet—166’ 6". Texas Relays—166’ 11". Quarterback Relays—169” Kansas Relays—166’ 4". second; in the Teijas Relays they were third with OH second. Record-Breakers, Too A&M’s foursome ait the Texas 5 Relays ran 3:15.8 id that third spot and themselves broke the old rec ord of 3:17.3 set by the Cadet relay in ’48. Rice lowered the mark to 3:14.5. Don Cardon, Buddy Shaeffer, Bernard Place, and Don Mitchell ran in that order and were, timed at 60.4, 49.8, 48.8, and 46.8 sec onds, respectively. Mitchell’s ter rific anchor: lap brought him from a bad fourth- to ii close third, a yard behind Oklahoma. Again at the Kansas Relays last Saturday Rice broke the old ’48 Aggies team’s record, which was 3:15.6, by turning;jin ;a 3:16.0. The Maroon ami white 1 was juiit a : few strides buck in 3:15.6, which is the team’s best time yet. . j Inglchart Ajds Effort The team this I time hud Cecil Inglchart running second in Shaef- ier’s place since Shaeffer had hurt his leg the j week joeforoi The run ners’ individual tijnes ‘ in this race were 49.6, 49.1, 149.2, and 47.7,. Mitchell, taking; the baton third bc^rhid Rice and Missouri, Ijtarally rah' the Missouri; anchor (nan in the ground, passing 'Kim on the" last curve and cliarly gaining all the way on the Rice anohor man, Tom Cox. So it is clear now ,that this Ag gie mile relay is! ndt weak after all, and with these five men fight ing for onjly four pjaces, the re lay will be bettej- yet by confer ence- meet time. Though coach Ray Putnam is doubtful of his charges beating Rice, he., is sure they will make any race a close one. A&M Hdlps Rice Putnam ; attributes Rice’s good showings to the Aggies’ ability to “push” the Houstbn team—and the absence of a “pusher” opponent in ’48 and ’49 is the explanation of those Marooh teams’ slower times. | Prospects for the ’61 mile relay are sure to make Aggie fans smile in anticipation for only one mem ber of this year’s aggregation will be lost by graduation. That boy is Dop Cardon. And if James Baker, sensational freshman (star of last year, is eli gible next spring, A&M may field its stiongest mile relay ever with Shaeffer, Place, and Mitchell all improved (and with Inglchart that important) fifth man. ’48 Ag Relay Tops Experts rath the 1948 Aggie team which ran 1600 meters in 3:11.0 (equiva)cnit of a 3:12.2 mile) the SWC|s best with this year’s Rice teanji cloke behind. However, it is our opinion tha't last year’s A&M tcajm if ^iven a fair break could have tupped them all. The ’40 relay’s only good race was in breaking the SWC record with a 8:14,9 Itime after every man had! run two hard quarter miles earlier In ihe same meet. It will be intureiitmg to see if Rice can ( break that record without holding its men (out of other races. And w«’ll all he watching the Aggies j next: year—they may come up! with the greatest relay yet. WANTED TO BUY YOUR USED TEXTBOOKS BOOKS APPROVED FOR NEXT SEMESTER BRING HIGHEST PRICES NOW!
