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.

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.
