In notching his second confer ence win Blanton employed a wide- sweeping, fust-breMKlng outside curve, a tricky slow ball, and an occasional fast pitch, us he whif fed six batters and walked three. Rice Takes Lend Rice jumped to an early lead, collecting its two runs off stalter Texas Snaps Maroon Victory Streak, 63-59 By RAY HOLBROOK Texas U spelled the doom of the heretofore undefeated Texas'Aggie track team last Friday in Austin by the score of 63-59 in a dual meet. . » Leading the Steers to victory was Chariot! Parker, who won the 100 and 220 and helped win the 410 relay. Despite the ^ fact that the Ag^ pies garnered 10 firsts to Til’s six, the Longhorns gained a win ning margin on 11 second places while the Cadets got but three. So things seem reversed this yCar, for iii the past few years A & M teams have battered Texas down with their galaxy of places other than first while the TU stars took the majority of the firsts. But the Aggies have a lot more boys who will be after those third and fourth places and if they can keep their hard-worked-for firsts, there is a good chance of retain ing that SWC crown at Aggie- land. Perhaps the biggest surprise of the meet was Alex Ortiz and John Garmany of the Aggies finishing 1-2 in the-880 in 1:56.5. This event Fencers Win Foil, Epee Bruce Morisne in the flrxt.

Maltz, aided by Joe Newbill’s fumble, scored all the way from first on the play. Wallace’s double was responsible for scoring Blan ton for the final marker of the inning. Candelari added Ag run num ber five in the third. He singled, advanced to third as Maltz and Jim Calvert drew walks, and auto matically tallied when Joe Sava- rino received free transportation | to first.
