For the season, A&M has a win- loss record of 4-3, having split four games with Bx-ooke 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 curi’ently 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 games in San Antonio with the Comets. A&M is showing exceptional power this spring in its liitters. A1 Ogletree, catcher; Charles Rus sell, left fielder; Guy Wallace, shoi’t; and Bill McPherson, light fielder, have been hitting consist ently for the Aggies, and all of them belted at least one four- Kansas Coach Calls For Central Power New York, March 29—(A 5 )—Di\ Forest C. (Phog) Allen called yes terday for college presidents to surrender their power to a national commissioner who would x’eceive $100,000 yearly. “Until we get a national com missioner of intercollegiate sports we will never put a ceiling on aid for athletes,” said Allen. Allen, famous Kansas basketball coach, is coach of the West team in Saturday night’s game at Madi son Square Garden, the proceeds of which go to the Herald Ti’ib- une’s aid fund. Clair Bee of Long Islaixd Uni versity is coach of the East team. bagger. Wallace, team captain, knocked two home runs in the run away game with the Beai'kats to lead Aggie scorers. Assisting Hubert and Ogletree in composing the infield will be Yale Lary handling the chores at the first sack; Joe Ecrette working second base; Hank “Yogi” Candel- ari doing duty at third base; and All-SWC shortstop Guy Wallace filling up the hole between second and third. In the outfield will be Charlie Russell in the left, Hollis Baker in center and Shug McPherson out in right. Probable starters for the Go phers Wednesday, in batting order, are as follows: Charles Bosacker, center field; Robext Thompson, first base; Thomas Warnei’, left field; James Holker; short, Allen Anderson, second; Frank Larson, right field; Conrad Eckston, 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 Leonai’d Johnson in right field instead of Larson. Awaiting the Gophers in the field will probably be Aggie Guy Wal lace at shoil; Hollis Baker in cen ter field; Yale Lary at first; Bill McPherson in right field; Charles Russell in left field; Hank Can- delari at third; Joe Ecrette behind the plate. Coach Beau Belle used Pat Hu bert, Ernest Johnson and Sid Good- loe in the last game with the Comets, and pi’obably 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. THEM All!
