Thursday, March 22, 1951 THE BATTALION Page 5 Third Inning Rally Gives A FA Victory A third inning rally gave A FA a 5-4 win over ASA as the Intra mural Softball Leagues completed their third day of play. After battling for two scoreless innings of play the artillerymen sent five men scampering across homeplate to build up a 5-0 lead. The “cloak and dagger” nine how ever were far from beaten as Bill Witty, third sacker and lead off man for the ASA, promptly plastered a pitch into center field for a single. Grady Satterwhite followed with another single ad vancing Witty to second. Flitts, Jones, Hutsen and Johnson all hit for safeties before Steve Bohmler could quell the rally and retire the side giving his team the one run victory. A QMC WINS A QMC scored a 6-1 victory over L AF in the other game of the afternoon. Two runs in the first, one in the second, and three in the third were enough to match the only run scored by the airmen in the fourth. A AF scored to 4-0 shut-out win over B Infantry. The airmen were held scoreless in the first inning but counted for a single tally in the second and scored thrice more in the third. J. F. Mueller accounted for the run in the second canto as he hit for the circuit with the bases empty. Bryan of A AF also smacked a round tripper in the third with two men on. Air Forcemen Vie B AF put together two hits and a walk to score the winning run in the third inning as the B Air men downed E AF, 3-2. E Infantry edged A Engineers 2-1. The Infantrymen scored the winning run in the final inning of play when Hitchcock crossed the plate with the deciding run. E FA slaughtered D Vets 18-0 in a three inning contest. The Ar tillery hurler pitched a no-hit, no run game against the Vets while the artillerymen were teeing off on Martin Schrank the Vet hurler for 12 runs in the initial inning. They scored four runs in both the second and third innings. New Coach Should Follow Present Aggie Style—Irvin The successor to Harry Stiteler as head football coach will be a man who follows the Aggie style of play, Atheltic Director Barlow Irvin said to day. Irvin removed himself as a pos sibility for the job. He said “the set-up here at A&M does not per mit such an arrangement.” Plans are to keep the entire coaching staff as it now stands. Irvin had been reported in line for the post vacated Monday by Stiteler, who resigned after ad mitting that he had not told the facts about an attack on him at Houston in December. Stiteler was beaten up by a man he had said he did not know. But Monday he declared that he did know his assailant, that it was a personal affair long since settled. The college accepted his offer to resign. “Our plans now are to keep the entire coaching staff, thereby caus ing as little change as possible through this season,” Irvin said. “We are looking for a coach who follows our style of play to avoid undoing all the work of Spring training completed last week.” He declared that the college would not be partial in its search for a coach, looking both inwardly and off the campus for the men tor. Stiteler’s resignation leaves Bay George as line coach, Gilbert Stein- ke as backfield coach, Bill Daw son as end coach Dalton Faircloth as B team coach. Klepto Holmes was hired three weeks ago as freshman coach. “We are not going to let this change in coaches alter our vigor ous athletic program,” Irvin said. “We are going to work doubly hard this Fall to see that the foot ball team has every chance to suc ceed.” The hunt for a new coach be gins Monday when Athletic Coun cil Chairman D. W. Williams re turns from an inspection tour of Australia. Raymond “Woody” Walker Starting tonight at the guard position for the Aggies against Washington will be little “Woody” Walker who is said to be one of the shortest players in the NCAA meet in Kansas City. The Aggies meet the Washington Huskies in the nightcap of the semi final round. See the 1951 Models . . .
