THE BATTALION
Page 3
Aggies Square Off
With Gophers; First
Game Wednesday
The Texas A&M baseball team
and the University of Minnesota
tangle here Wednesday and Thurs
day in a two-game series. Game
time will be 3 p. m.
for the season, A&M has a
win-loss record of 4-3, having
split four games with the Brooke
Army Field Medics and a pair
with the University of Houston.
The Aggies won their game with
Sam Houston State 16-8.
A&M is currently holding the
upper hand on games played on
Kyle Field with three wins to one
loss. They won one game from the
Medics 8-7, a single from the Uni
versity of Houston 3-1, and the
game with the Bearkats. The Ag
gies lost their one home game to
the Comets, 1-2.
But the ’Cadets have not fared
so well on the road. They dropped
their game to the Cougars in
Houston and lost one of their two
game in San Antonio with the
Comets.
A&M is showing exceptional
power this spring in its hitters.
A1 Ogletree, catcher; Charles Rus
sell, left fielder; Guy Wallace,
short; and Bill McPherson, right
fielder, have been hitting consist
ently for the Aggies, and all of
them have belted at least one four-
bagger. Wallace, team captain,
knocked two home runs in the run
away game with the Bearkats to
lead Aggie scorers.
Probable starters for the Go
phers Wednesday, in batting or
der, are as follows: Charles
Bosacker, center field; Robert
Thompson, first base; Thomas
Warner, left field; James Holk-
er; short, Allen Anderson, sec
ond; Frank Larson, right field;
Conrad Eckstrom, third; and
Glenn Gostic, catcher. Lloyd
Lundeen, who won five and lost
four for the Gophers last season,
will probably start on the mound
and be last in the batting order.
But Coach Dick Siebert can call
on any one of six other pitchers
on the squad to start against the
Aggies. Siebert might start James
Lund on first instead of Thompson
and Leonard Johnson in right
field instead of Larson.
Awaiting the Gophers in the field
will probably be Aggie Guy Wal
lace at shoi't; Hollis Baker in cen
ter field; Yale Lary at first; Bill
McPherson in right field; Charles
Russell in left field; Henry Can-
delari at third; Joe Ecrette on sec
ond; and A1 Ogletree behind the
plate.
Coach Beau Belle used Pat
Hubert, Ernest Johnson and Sid
Goodloe in the last game with the
Comets, and probably one of
the three will go on the mound
for A&M. All of these hurlers
are right handers.
A&M and the Gophers split their
games here last year. A&M won
the first 13-9 but dropped the
second 9-10.

know what will happen; before

what will you do?” He said, “We
have no assurance that this is

him, “Is it possible, sir, that you
have never read the theses on the
revolutionary movement in the col
onial and semi-colonial areas?” He
said, “No.” Well, what can you
expect ?
What wouldn’t a general give to
get the enemy’s plan of cam

Russia’s Deceptive Strategy
Chiang Kai-Shek was the first
man in the world who found out
the facts on that. He was the ori
ginal Tito. He discovered that Com
munism wasn’t planned to work for
the benefit of the Chinese; it was
trying to get China to step on its
program of world conquest, so he
broke with them, and he has had
the courage and steadfastness to
fight them—alone, most of the time
—for 23 years, and is still fighting
them. He fought on our side for
four and one-half years against
Japan before we had grains enough
to know it as our side and ever
since the war and before he has
been fighting against the world
conspiracy which has us as a tar
get. Ke have been kicking him in
the teeth—it’s fantastic.
Petkoff was another who tried.
Mr. Petkoff was the great liberal
agrarian reformer of Bulgaria. He
was head of the largest party
there, the Peasant Party. He want
ed to show these Communists that
he had no designs on that, that he
really wanted to get for them the
things they wanted, so he organ
ized the Fatherland Front. He
brought them into the government
of Bulgaria—a great wonderful
thing, the kind of thing the United
Nations has been trying so hard
to do, some of them, to get the
snake into the team so it can help
plan a campaign against snakes.
Well, Petkoff brought them into
the Bulgarian government, and
they stood around and looked re
spectable for a while, when sud
denly the Communists called a
special meeting of the Bulgarian
Diet, and Petkoff’s party was be
ing scattered all over the counti’y;
the Peasant Party couldn’t get in.
They held a meeting and passed
one resolution removing the Pea
sant Party. They arrested Petkoff
on the way out of the Parliament,
and executed him five days later.
I was in Sofia and went out and,
with a few other Congressmen, laid
a wreath on the grave of a great
liberal who betrayed his country
because he couldn’t look at the
nature of the Communist conspi
racy, and insisted it was a peace-
loving conspicary.
Benes was another who suffered
from the same delusion; Nehru is
suffering from it now. The other
day a man was bitter with me for
talking about Nehru. I said, “Wait
a minute. It took you 23 years to
find out; you’ll have to give him a
few more minutes or a few more
weeks to find out what it took our
government 23 years longer than

Darrow Hooper of Ft. Worth, the explosive Aggie sophomore
weight star, shows the form he used Friday when he cut loose with
the 16 lb. shot for a 5.2’ B'/z” throw. This betters the existing
SWC record by 2’ 7'/ 4 ”.
Texas Cops Title
In SWC Tank Meet
A&M was Texas’ closest rival
Saturday night as the Longhorns
splashed their way to a 20-point
margin to win the Southwest Com
ference swimming meet. The meet
was held in Austin. Texas won
with 120 points, while A&M was
runner-up with 100.
It was Texas’ 18th title in the
20 years the meet has been held.
A&M was Texas’ nearest rival
with 100 points in the two-day
tourney. Southern Methodist was
third with 95, and Baylor trailed
badly with nine points. Rice was
not entered.
In winning the championship,
Texas swimmers set two new
marks Saturday night and the Ag
gies copped a third.
Johnny Crawford, Texas breast
stroke star, got a new record in
the 100-yard preliminaries. His
time was 1:04.2. The old time was
1:05.3 set by Jim Flowers of A&M
in 1947.
Crawford had set a new meet
record in the 200-yard breast
stroke Friday.
Eddie Gilbert, Texas captain
and high point man with 19 for
the meet, swam to a new record
in the 100-yard freestyle event.
His time was :52 flat.
Ben Adamson of A&M won the
150-yard individual medley, in 1:-
,37.2 for a new record.
Skippy Browning of Texas com
pleted a sweep in the diving events
when he won the three-meter
championship. He took the one-
meter championship friday.
Arden Amerine of SMU was sec
ond in individual scoring with 18
points.
Hooper Sets New Shot Record
In Triangular Cinder Contest
By RAY HOLBROOK
The powerful Texas Aggies
showed their track strength again
last Friday as they smashed the
Texas Longhorns and Rice Owls
with 82% points to Texas’ 68 Va
and Rice’s 18.
Dynamic Darrow Hooper, the
greatest shot-putter in South
west Conference history, put the
iron ball 52’ 9 l /2”, more than B'/z
feet better than the present con
ference record, for the outstand
ing performance of the day. The
Ag soph also won the discus with
a 151’ 4'/2” throw for runner-up
high count honors.
Ralph Person, of Texas, took the
high point title with wins in the
100 over Aggie Bill Stalter in 9.9,
and in the low hurdles over Cadet
Bill Bless in 23.7, plus a lap on the
second place 440 relay for 10 3/4
points.
The Aggies won 10 of the 16
events plus a tie for first and
failed to place in only one event—
the javelin, in which Texas took
all four places.
Huskies Cool
Aggies in Fast
NCAA Playoff
The University of Washington
took the Aggies on a one-way, no
return ride Thursday night, beating
them 62-40 to drop them out of
the NCAA western basketball play
offs.
Washington jumped off to an
early 12-3 lead and at the half
was ahead 27-15 against the chilled
Cadets. Not even the fine second
half exhibitiion of marksmanship
by John DeWitt could save the out
classed and mostly outsped Texans.
Texas A&M, winner of the
Southwest Conference champion
ship in a playoff with Texas, was
paced by DeWitt’s 14 points. De-
Witt got an even dozen of his
markers in a burst of goal-making
in the final half. But the entire
Aggie team froze solid with six and
a half minutes to play and couldn’t
budge off its 40-point total.
Meanwhile, Washington’s quin
tet of the shotmakers hit often.
Frank Guisness was high with 16
points.
Washington’s slightly superior
height paid off in defensive re
bounds. The Huskies, leading team
of the Pacific Coast Conference,
marked up 41 defensive rebounds to
24 for the Aggies.
In shooting, Washington’s per
centage was 37. Texas A&M finish
ed with 26 per cent.

Shoes take an awful beating, exposed to the
elements—the sun, the rain and the wind.
Without proper care, they will dry out and
become unsightly. KIWI polish makes the
leather in your shoes water-resistant. It
is leather-nourishing, preventing drying-out
by preserving the leather. As long as shoes
are so high priced, why not save by coming
to The Exchange Store and filling your needs
for better shoe care with KIWI Shoe Polish.

omore turned in the most brilliant
performance of the day, second
only to Hooper. He was Ed Wilm
sen, 150-pound converted quarter
miler from Waco, who outran the
SWC defending champion and rec
ord holder in the 880 to win his
third straight victory. And in do
ing so he hung up one of the best
times in recent years for an early
season meet. Wilmsen kicked from
5th to first in the last lap to run
a fine 1:55.1. He was closely fol
lowed by two other Ags, J. A. Ter
ry in second and Robert Allen, in
fourth.
The Texas Aggie mile relay team
served notice Friday that it is
fielding a very good team and one
that will be trying for national
honors. The quartet of Bernie
Place, Bob Mays, Fuston McCarty,
and Don Mitchell ran way out
ahead by themselves and turned in
a blazing 3:16.0. Mitchell also
showed his expected, but not ’til
now apparent, quarter mile speed
by easily winning the 440 dash in
an excellent 48.6.
Jack Simpson turned in an
other top notch performance,
winning the pole vault at 13’ 8”.
He Barely missed twice at 14’-
2”.
In one of the day’s best races,
Cadet John Garmany nipped
teammate Julian Herring in the
stretch of the mile to win in a
very respectable 4:22.8.
Charlie Gabriel of the Aggies
put on a spectacular last half-a-
lap sprint in the two-mile run to

step behind his winning teammate
Charles Hudgins. Hudgins led
throughout most of the race and
had stretched the lead in the next-
to-last lap.
Stalter came through as expect
ed in the 220 dash to win in a
very good 22.1 for a total of 9 1/4
points.
Don Graves again tied for first
in the high jump for the Aggies
but this time with two Longhorns,
Byron Townsend and Ransopher.
Bobby Ragsdale had Charlie
Meeks of Texas beat in the broad
jump up to the last jump but fin
ally had to be content with sec
ond.
In the meet’s closest race the
Owls’ Bill Howton edged Cadet
Paul Leming by a foot in the high
