Monday, Marefi 5,1951 THE BATTALION Page 3 Cadets Down UofH Easily to Win 55-46 (Continued from Page 1) with Fromme. Although not a big gun in their scoring column, Rey nolds picked up seven points in the last meeting of the two teams. Miksch or Martin Either Leroy Miksch or Marvin Martin will work against Reynolds, and either should be capable of doing the job. . At 6' 4” Miksch has turned in his best performances of the year in the last two Aggie games and may find a starting berth over the usual starter Martin. The latter is the >Io. 4 scorer for the Cadets with 6!> points. Sharing guard duties for the Frogs will be John Swain and John Etheridge, while Floyd will call on All-SWC guard Jewell Mc Dowell and Woody Walker to work these positions for the Aggies. Swain, at 6’ 0”, should be match ed with McDowell, who at 5’ 10”, has netted 275 points in season play, while grossing 129 against his conference adversaries. Walk er, who is the smallest member of the Cadet squad, will meet his match in Etheridge, who measures the same 5’ 8” that Walker does. Win Over Cougars Fresh from a 55 to 46 triumph over the University of Houston Cougars Friday night, the Aggies will be ready and raring for their first obstacle in their march to the NCAA tournament. Against the Cougars, the Cadets showed the cool confidence that they had displayed many times earlier in the season and laxed but four times during the game before catching their second breath mid way of the first period. Frolic Floyd’s tri-champion Aggies showed very little of the slow, methodical ball-control at any time during Friday night’s melee, but seemed to run and jump in sheer merriment—at no time showing that they were in doubt about who would be the victor when the final gun had sounded. The lead changed 10 times in the first half and was tied twice to find the home team in front at the halftime 29-28. In that ramble scramble first period, a meager throng of DeWare Field House fans saw the Cougar ace, Royce Ray, 6’ 6” center, mesh IT’S GOLFING TIME It’s always golfing time around Texas A&M.

Davis Leads Way In the Aggie camp, the scoring was about even, with Davis lead ing the way with seven, while Walker, McDowell, and DeWitt got six apiece. The final period was a different story, as the scoring talents of Davis, McDowell, DeWitt, Miksch and Walker ran the Aggie point total up to 45 in the first 12 min utes. At the same time, the Cadets, were displaying their best in de fense to keep the Cougars without a field goal in this same 12 min utes, as they garnered five chari ties to total 33 points.

Cadet Baseballers Shine; Split Series With Brooke By JOE HOLLIS Batt Sports Staff With but 15 days of practice be hind them, A&M’s baseball team showed better than expected form, both in the field and on the mound, to split a two game series with the Brooke Army Medics of San Antonio, 8-7, and 1-2. Before the first game Friday afternoon, Aggie Coach Beau Bell had little hope for his charges against a team that was laden with talent from the pro leagues. But the Comets’ star studded lineup of such names as Owen Friend and Dick Kokos, of St Louis Browns fame, and Rocko Ippolito, home run hitter in the Texas League for the San Antonio Missions, failed to show that the college amateurs are just punks. In the first game Friday the Comets clicked the scoreboard for five runs on three hits in the first three innings off George Brown, I T T Eugene Rush North Gate Each One Reach One (See Page 6) Each One Reach One (See Page 6) Each One Reach One (See Page 6) ★ before he was relieved by Sam Blanton in the fourth. Blanton held the visitors to one hit and one run in the following four innings, while Shug McPher son collected three singles and a home run to lead the Aggies in their game of catchup. McPherson Scores Two ■ McPherson’s over-the-fence-clout with two men on brought the Ca dets within two runs of the Com ets’ six. McPherson and Hank Candelari bingled again in the eighth to force the visitors behind, 6-7. Sid Goodloe entered the game in the eighth to replace Blanton and whiffed four of the nine adver saries he faced, while allowing Friend a home run to tie the game. Ogletree Wraps It Up The Aggie catcher, A1 Ogletree, was the first man up for the Ca dets to face Bill Kodis, and Ogle tree wrote a story book finish with a 340 foot drive over the left field fence to give A&M an 8-7 win in their first game of the 1951 season. Losing pitcher was Blyzka, who was relieved in the eighth. Good loe was credited with the win. LAST TIMES TODAY “Three Secrets'’ Tuesday & Wednesday The second game 6f the series was a close one. Guy Wallace scored the first and only run for (See BASEBALL, Page 6) Aggie Gridders Look Good; Whites Top Maroons, 21-20 By FRED WALKER Batt Associate Sports Editor Three points-after-touchdown by End Charley Hodge proved to be too much for the Maroons Satur day night, as the White Aggie squad adged their Maroon team mates, 21-20 on Kyle Field. As the concluding feature of the event-laden Sports Day festivities at A&M, Gallopin’ Glenn Lippman scampered across with two touch downs and Raymond Haas added another to assure the Whites of a narrow victory. Almost 4,000 people faced a brisk North wind to see what A&M will field during the 1951 pigskin par ade. Through the first half, the Whites ruled the freshly-sodded playing field as they roared for two scores and thwarted all but one Maroon drive. Maroons March Billy Tidwell received the open ing kickoff on the Maroon 18 and brought the ball back to the 45. With sophomor-e quarterback Ray Graves pitching and Tidwell, Ber- nie Lemmons and Charlie McDon ald carrying, the Maroon eleven marched unhindered to the White five yard line. It took only a few incomplete passes and two ample losses and the White’s took over on their 14. Saxe Scampers On the first White play of the game, halfback Augie Saxe danced 36 yards to midfield, but a Ma roon forward wall as impregnable as the White line, held on their own 45. First blood was drawn by the Whites when they took over on their own 42 and moved unhamp ered for a score. Two passes from quarterback Dandy Dick Gardemal—one to half back Pete Mayeaux and one to end Clinton Gwin^—moved the Whites to the Maroon 47. Lippman then broke away for 20 yards to the 27 for another first. Lippman Scores Gardemal’s pass to Gwin moved the Whites to the 11 and a pitch to Raymond Haas set up the scor ing play on the 3. Lippman went over on the second try and Hodge added the extra point. The first quarter ended 7-0, Whites leading. McDonald Intercepts Another Maroon push was halted and the Whites appeared to be headed for pay dirt again, when Maroon defensive halfback McDon ald intercepted Roy Dollar’s pass on the Maroon 45 and scampered 52 yards to the White three. Full back Johnny Salyer went over and Robert Shaeffer’s PAT was block ed. That Maroon score only added fire to the White’s as they took White Swimmers Sink Maroon Mermen, 70-53 In another of the many attrac tions for the recent Sports Day, Swimming Coach Art Adamson split his tankmen into two teams for intrasquad competition with time as their only opponent.

Hodge Converts Again Hodge again added the PAT and the first half scoring was halted at 14-6, Whites. The Maroons were riding Graves, Delmer Sikes, Bernie Lemmons and a hustling line at the start of the second half to what seemed a sure fire score, but Gwin intercepted a Sikes’ toss at mid-field and return ed it to the Maroon 37. Taking advantage of strong White blocking, Lippman shot through the middle, switched off to his left and went the remaining distance for the third White TD. Again Hodge’s toe was sure and the Whites led 20-6. Last year’s freshmen showed their stuff then as the Maroon’s ate up 75 yards for the next score. Shaeffer returned the punt to the Maroon 25. Buck Gibson moved 18 yards to the 43 and Donald Criswell went to the 49.

In second place was Rice’s Horace Flatt, followed by Bob Jones of A&M. Gottlob returned to make a per fect day for himself as he won a first place in the epee.

After Graves hit Criswell on the 15, he connected again with the freshman flash; this time for a score. Shaeffer added the point to make the scoreboard read 20- 21, Whites. The game ended 30 seconds later. 1951 Looks Good. With the exception of some intei*- squad prestige, not too much was at stake, and the boys seemed to be enjoying themselves. Sikes and Dollar punted long all night with Dollar kicking the long est of the game, a 53-yarder. The passing and rushing looked good,i but the hard blocking and tackling* by the men up front look ed as good, if not better than last year’s eleven. The backs, too, must be credited for the excellent pass protection they afforded their quarterbacks. At half-time, the famous Kil gore Rangerettes entertained the fans with their precision, leg work. jounce LEON B. WEISS . MILITARY CIVILIAN FURNISHERS CLOTHIERS
