Cadet Nine Lacks
Coach; Relief Not
Seen For Present
By FRANK N. MANITZAS
Battalion Sports Staff
In major and minor baseball leagues across the nation,
teams are picking their managers for the coming season, but
a major Southwest Conference Baseball power has yet to
hire a coach.
It has been 158 days since last year’s
baseball and basketball coach Marty Karow
announced that he was returning to his
alma mater, Ohio State, as head baseball
tutor.
It has been 89 days since schooling com
menced at A&M, and yet, no one has been
hired to replace Karow in the baseball de
partment.
During the summer, we were told by of
ficial sources that the first objective was to
Manitzas ^ re a g 00 ^ basketball coach and then to
concentrate on baseball. We believe every
one is more than satisfied with the cage mentor, but we
would like some action on the baseball situation.
The big question, is who is A&M’s next baseball coach
and when will he be hired?
Did we hear you say, “What’s the rush? Baseball sea
son doesn’t start until March!”
The rush is this. First, A&M’s present baseball squad
is confident that it has a good chance toward winning the
SWC crown and dethroning the NCAA champions Texas.
But trouble is already hitting the Cadets.
Last season’s top freshman hurler, Jack Brinkley, who
was all-state in Austin High and who struck out 32 men and
won four games while losing only three last season, is now
scholastically ineligible.
At the present time there are only four freshmen
baseball players living in the Athletic dorm. ,
This could have been prevented had someone been tak
ing an interest in the players. Someone like a coach.
•
And, official reports say that the Maroon and White nine
wants a coach, not a last-minute-filler which at the present
moment seems to be the want of some people, and may soon
be the only way out.
The Athletic Council, composed of former students, pre
sent students, faculty members, and a chairman, and the
athletic director are the persons responsible for the hirinR of
the coach. To this moment they have yet to release anything
on the hiring of a coach although they have already met this
year.

One Way and a Good Way Out
The baseball picture could take
a brighter side. A part-time pro
fessional baseball player might be
hired for the tutoring of the Ca
dets, but it seems unlikely. What
may happen no one knows, we can
only wait, see and hope.
Last year the Aggies finished
the season with a 9-5, won-lost
record, with three men being
placed on the All-Conference team.
All three of the baseball star's re
turned to A&M this fall, but one-
Wally Moon—will be ineligible
since he was signed to play pro
ball.
Shortstop Guy Wallace and
Pitcher Pat Hubert, however, will
be eligible and should help lead
the Cadets to victory.
The First Conference golf champions and the
stars in the opening of A&M’s $75,000 golf
course were J. C. Landon of San Angelo, A. 0.
Nicholson of Dallas, Coach Gayther Nowell of
Bryan, H. W. Brehmer of Kerrville, and Ellis
Wilson of San Antonio.
