Selection of Coach
To Be This Week-
If But and Maybe
By DEAN REED
Battalion Managing: Editor
A&M’s new head football coach will be “elected within
three or four days,” Athletic Director Barlow “Bones” Irvin
said yesterday.
“It won’t be much more than a week,” Athletic Council
Chairman D. W. Williams said.
One thing is definite. A&M will have a coach before Fall
training begins.
And, judging from the definite comments the pair made
to us yesterday, you can rest assured that the new coach
will under 75 years, above 75 pounds, will be male, and will
shave at least twice a week.
On the more serious side, though, Irvin was instructed
by the Council at its Sunday afternoon meeting to begin
talks with about three or four major prospects.
One of these, he told us, will be Dick Todd—although Irvin
emphasized bluntly that Todd is by no means the selection.
Todd was on the campus yesterday and talked to Irvin.
Whether other candidates will come to the college later this
week is an un-answered question.
The former A&M great flew in from his Crowell home
yesterday morning and landed at Easterwood Field.
More than 30 men were under consideration for the
top grid post, Irvin said. Now the Athletic Council has whit
tled the number down to three or four.
A coach, we do believe, will be named this week. The
meeting of the Council to make the selection, may be. con
ducted by telephone, if it is incon-4- ; 7
venient to hold another meeting on buts, either. He would be “it.
the campus.
We might as well join the band
wagon in guessing who the coach
will be. We’ll say Todd, with P. L.
“Pinky” Downs running a close
second. But we can’t help but
laugh at the early speculations of
some of our state sportswriters,
particularly one.
Jack Gallagher, pride of the
Houston Post, frankly stated in
his column a few weeks ago that
Irvin would be the coach. No ifs or

Ir
vin has since ruled himself out by
saying he didn’t want the job.
Our Guess on Todd is just that
—a wild, unqualified guess.
Harry Stiteler told us yesterday
that he has received a few offers
for a coaching position. The for
mer A&M head coach declined to
name the schools involved. Dressed
as neatly as always and looking
as bright at the. day A&M took
SMU last Fall, He was clearing
his desk in the coach’s office.
“I’m going to be living here for
a while yet,” Harry said. “When I
make my decision on a job, I wapt
to be very sure I’m making the
right move. I don’t know yet
whether it’ll be another coaching
spot or private business. I’m just
taking my time and trying to de
cide exactly what I want.”
The small, friendly man would
be an excellent choice for some col
lege cunrently without a top-rate
coach. He is one.

THE BATTALION
Page 3
’’Mural News
By JOE BLANCHETTE
Battalion Sports Staff
A two-run error by an H AF
outfielder in the final inning broke
a 0-0 deadlock and a tight pitch
ing duel to hand E FA a 2-0 shut
out win over the Airmen in the
Intramural Leagues yesterday af
ternoon.
The first two innings of the con
test had been mere routine for the
two ball clubs but the top half of
the third inning proved to be the
undoing of H AF. Marlowe of the
artillerymen worked Sexton, the
airmen hurler, for a free ticket to
the initial sack.
Outfielder Misses
Scott then stepped to the plate
for the E Battery baseballers and
lifted a long fly to right field
which should have been an easy
out but the outfielder missed
the sphere and had to chase it
across the turf of the outfield.
Scott meanwhile crossed the plate
behind Marlowe for the margin of
victory.
Choate and Weedon crossed the
plate in the top half of the fourth
to garner the only two tallies for
A- Composite as the compositemen
shutout K AF, 2-0.
D Infantry Wins
D Infantry pounded out seven
hits for seven runs as the White
Band succumbed before the infan
trymen, 7-1.
The Infantry scored three in the
first, two in the third and two in
the fourth. The Band tallied their
lone score in the third.
A Engineers, I AF Tie
A Engineers and I AF battled to
a 2-2 tie before the game was
called because of the time limit.
Both clubs scored their two runs
in the fourth.
A Chemical waltzed to an. easy
9-3 victory over A AF. The CWS
men crossed home plate eight times
in the first inning before the air
men knew what was happening.
Errors were the cause of the A
Transporters downfall as the B
Field Artillerymen counted a 9-3
win. The Artillery only got two
safe blows but the errors of the
TC men provided the winners with
the majority of their runs.
G AF counted a 9-2 win over
ASA in a slugfest from the start
to finish.

Hubert Goes on Mound
Against Baylor Today
By ED HOLDER
Battalion Sports Staff
The Baylor Bears, holders of
third-place honors in the 1950
Southwest Conference pennant
race, meet the Aggies this after
noon at 3 on Kyle Field.
Since it is the opening confer
ence tilt for both teams, the game
should be a good indication as to
the possibilities of the two clubs.
With Baylof relying on its
pitching staff, and the Aggies on
their power-house hitting, the
Bruins should come opt ahead.
A&M finished last season in
second place with nine wins and
five losses, while Baylor came in
third with eight wins and seven
losses.
Baylor ended its pre-conference
play by defeating the Minnesota
Gophers by a safe margin of 13-1.
Ray Fitzpatrick of the Bears
pitched the victory allowing only
six hits. Williams, third baseman
for the Bruins, paced the hitters
with three for five.
Handling the pitching chores
for A&M today, will be Bat Hubert.
A1 Ogletree will catch. Taking the
mound for the Bears will be Clyde
“Robbie” Robinson, with a 4-3
record in last year’s competition.
Isbell in Lineup
Larry Isbell, a junior hailing
from Houston, will do the catching
for Robinson, and is being counted
on by Bear Coach Vic Bradford
to handle a large part of the
Bruins’ hitting.
In the team batting competition
last year, A&M finished second
with Baylor trailing close behind
in third place. And in the team
fielding averages, A&M placed
[fif?

fifth with Baylor crowding them
in sixth place.
Probable starters for the Bears
tomorrow in their batting order
are Williams at third base, Parker
fielding, Isbell catching, and New
ton at second base batting clean
up.
Miles will bat fifth and play
first base, Davis next playing
short-stop, Stotts at center field,
Willoughby in left field, and Price
in center field.
Strong Reserves
Russell and Obrien hold the re
serve spots and Fitzpatrick, with
a good showing of six fan-outs in
the last Minnesota game, will be
the reserve pitcher in case Robin
son gets in trouble.
To compare with Baylors double
win of 7-3 and 13-1 over the Min
nesota Gophers last week, the
Aggies split their twin bill with
the Gophers in a 2-0 win and a 1-0
loss.
Backing Hubert and Ogletree’s
pitching today will be Lary at first
base, Ecrette at second, Wallace at
short stop, and Candelari at third.
DeWitt will be in left field, Rus
sell in center and McPherson in
right field.
Russell Only New Man
The entire team, with the ex
ception of Russell who is up from
the fish team, consists of lettermen
from last year.
If the A&M pitching staff devel
ops to match the hitting crew, then
the Aggies could become “the
power” in Southwest Conference
competition this Spring, said Coach
Beau Bell.
A&M split their two-game series
with Baylor last year, winning 11-4
and losing 7-1.
