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

scorers, while his teammate, Lloyd
Hendrix counted for seven.
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.
Widest Margin
With 4:05 showing on the dock
for time remaining, the Aggies
widened their margin to 14 points,
51-37—probably their largest mar
gin this season.
Floyd emptied the benches to
play everyone who was suited,
while the Cougars made a desper
ate attempt at the game of catch
up as the time faded out. Cougar
A1 Renta counted for four points
in the final minute, while Don
Heft tossed in a charity as the
gun sounded witji the Aggies
ahead, 55 to 46.
Davis and McDowell were high
point makers for the hosts, with
14 points apiece, while Houston’s
Ray netted 15 for high scorer in
the game.

Dahoney Leads
A&M Linksmen
To Blank UofH
In its first taste of links
competition, A&M’s golf team
came through with flying col
ors to blank the University of
Houston Cougar linksmen, 6
and 0, on the Aggie golf course
Saturday.
Bob Dahoney, who recently qual
ified as the No. 1 man for the
Cadet golfers led A&M’s linksters
to their first full win in two sea
sons. Dahoney dropped Cougar Tom
Tyson with a 6 and 5 count.
Guerrero Wins
Tony Guerrero, playing the No.
2 slot for the home team, downed
Sid Fink, U of H, with another 6
and 5; while Johnnie Barrett'took-
a 5 and 4 singles victory over Cou
gar Brizzolai’a. In the other singles
contest, A&M’s Bill Baker scored
a 4 and 3 win against Bill Skin
ner.
The doubles division went the
same route with the Cadets show
ing 5 and 4 wins both times. Da
honey and Barrett topped Tyson
and Brizzolara, while Guerrero and
Baker humbled Skinner and Fink.
Dahoney Newcomer
Guerrero is the only returning
letterman on this year’s Aggie golf
team, while Barrett and Baker are
up from the ranks of last year’s
freshman team. Dahoney is a new
comer to A&M Golf Coach G'ayther
Nowell’s aggregation.
Dampness and high winds pre
vailed throughout the Sports Day
meeting of these two gulf teams,
yet better than average playing
was displayed by the winners.
The next match, on the Cadet
schedule will be the returning golf
ing duel with the Cougars in Hous
ton April 2.

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,

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.

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. The
Whites amassed a total of 79
points to humble the Maroons
with 53.
The first event of the day sav)
Carl Maynard, Tommy Comstock,
and Ralph Ellis of the White
team take first place in the 300
yard medley relay. Following* close
behind were Bill Sargent, Ricky
Black, and Van Adamson of the
Maroons. No time was recorded.
Blundell Wins
Don Blundell cut the water at
a fast place for the Whites to
win the 220 yard freestyle event,
as John Noyes of the Maroons,
and John Parnell of the Whites
came in second and third respect
ively. Winning time was 2:25.4.
Led by Tommy Gilbert, the Ma
roons garnered a first place in the
springboard event with Bob John
son of the Whites coming in sec
ond. Maroon John Cameron and
White Robert Meyer followed.
Ellis Scores
Ellis tallied more first place
points for the Whites as he cop
ped the honors in the 100 yard
freestyle event. Adamson and Jim
Flowers were second and third
for the Maroons, while Tommy
Butler placed fourth for the
Whites. Time was 0:53.9.
With a winning 200 yard back-
stroke time of 2:28.3, Maynard

FORO-FLEIM’On
Wearing white jersey No. 42, Pete Mayeaux starts one of the end
sweeps that netted winning yardage in Saturday night’s Maroon
and White intra-squad gridiron tussle on Kyle Field. The Whites
emerged victorious in the second official spring training head-
knocking exercises, downing the Maroons, 21-20.
the kickoff on their eight and went
for a score in 14 plays.
After Lippman got 19 yards
on the punt return, he made 3 to
the 30 and Mayeaux went to the
32. Dollar passed to Gwin on the
46 and Lippman moved to the
Maroon 45.
Again Lippman carried from the
fullback position; this time to the
39. Dollar bit Gwin on the 36
after Mayeaux bad moved to the
36.
From there it was a Dollar-to
Gwin to the 17, Haas to the 14,
Mayeaux to the nine, Lippman to
the five and Haas over for the
score.
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.
Lemmons got a first down on the

Cop 4 Firsts In
Houston Meet
A&M’s fencing team took
just about everything that
wasn’t nailed down and cop
ped four of a possible six
places Saturday in a junior
foil and epee meet in Houston.
The prep and novice classes
showed no signs of faltering as
John Gottlob ran through five op
ponents handily to win the foil
competitiion. 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. A former
Rice star, Frank - Leever, gained
the No. 2 slot, while Ragusa was
third for the Cadets.
The remaining Aggie entrants,
Teddy Fields, Joe Mayes, and
Chuck Massey, gave good accounts
of themselves, though failing to
place.

After Graves raced to the 10,
Salyer scored and Shaeffer kicked
the point. The Maroons still trail

It was a seesaw battle until at

Gibson went to the 25 on Graves’

After Graves hit Criswell on the

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.
