TiTE BATTALION Cub Pitching Fools Fish On Four Hits By CHUCK NEIGHBORS Battalion Sports Staff Jack-Reid of the Baylor Cuba pitched a four-hitter into the Ag- ' gie Fish, Tuesday, to slap down the Frosh, 9-4. Dave Selman, who seems to be developing into a fairly steady hit her, had two for four and one RBI to lead Aggie hitting. A1 Fuchs had a single and an RBI, while Pitcher Mel Work had one hit in two trips. Catcher Jerry Robinett sustained a temporary back injury in the fifth inning when he was bowled over by Cub John Foote as the Baylor lad attempted to score on a squeeze play. Robinett was out cold for nearly two minutes and was relieved by Joe Patterson. • Work had a bad fifth inning, giving up six runs on five hits and two errors. Hits included a home run by big Jim Davenport and a double by A1 Smith, Cub center fielder. Cub Chick Schuble had four hits for four times at bat for a perfect afternoon at the plate. Big 8th All the Aggie runs but one came in a big eighth inning rally when Reid got tired. He had not previously pitched more than five innings at one time. The Aggie’s fielding was espec ially good around the keystone, and Leissner and Hunt both turned in good plays with four force-outs to their credit. Work who had five strikeouts until replaced by Sills in the sixth inning, didn’t seem to have the speed or deception that fooled bat ters in earlier Fish games.

NATIONAL ARROW WEEK celebrating Arrow’s 100 Years of style leadership tamptisWie Ivas certainly changed these past 100 years. Back in 1851 there were only 160 colleges in the entire country. Today, there are 1,849. No Bose Bowl game at the end oi the ioothall season in those days. No ioothall season as a matter oi iact. Open surreys were standard equipment oi college Bomeos—-there wasn’t a cream- colored convertible on the landscape. It was then, a century ago, that Arrow started manu- iacturing their iamous collars.., and in a iew years they were setting campus styles. That’s one thing that hasn t changed. Arrow is still style leader on America’s campuses. College men every where know that the Arrow label always stands tor smart styles, hne iabrics, meticulous tailoring.. • the superior quality that reflects good taste.

Aggie Golfers Look For 5th Straight Win f ? ”' Thursday, April 5, 1951 Page 3 The seemingly unbeatable A&M golf team will be going for their first conference win and their fifth consecutive triumph of the 1951 season when they play host to the Rice Owls tomorrow afternoon. Shooting progressively lower on each outing, the Aggie linksmen have walked away with all four matches this year. Two of these were shutouts. Twice A&M golfers have taken the measure of University of Hous ton, St. Edwards (Austin) was an other school blanked by the links men while the fourth victory was at the expense of Hardin-Simmons. Members of the A&M team are Johnnie Barrett, Bob Dahoney, Bill Baker, Otto Guerrero and J. C. Fletcher. Reports from Houston say that Rice’s best chance to capture a spring sports team title will be in golf. These hopes are based on impressive wins over Houston, Tu- lane and Lamar College of Beau mont.

He averaged 29.2 points in 25 games during the past season to break Ernie Calverly’s 1944 record of 26.7. And the “Owl. without the vowel” broke another record when he dunked 312 field goals to sur pass Chet Giermak’s two-year-old collegiate mark of 301. He also finished second in as sists and second on rebounds. Two more standards were shat tered by Duke’s Dick Groat, a jun ior like Mlkvy. The blue devil six- footer racked up 831 points in 33 games to wipe out another Giermak record (740 in 34 games) and con nected on 261 free throws to bet ter the 215 mark held by Yale’s Tony Lavelli and Villanova’s Paul Arizin. Rogers of Texas Western ranked fifth among field goal leaders. He sank 154 for a 48.6 average. The leader was Don Meineke of Day- ton, Ohio, who shot 240 for a 51.2 average. On July 15, 1907 Lefty Burwell of Sharon, Pa., in the Ohio and Pennsylvania League pitched 17 innings with a fractured shoulder. afternoon and the other on Satur day. Both will start at three o’clock, and both promise to be nine inn ings of baseball. Southern Methodist has a season al record of six wins and only three losses. Two of the wins were two consecutive games in which they slapped down TCU. After splitting a two-game ser ies with the Sam Houston Bear- kats, the Ponies bounced back with a double win over Hardin-Sim mons. They then dropped their next two games to the Brooke Field Medics with whom the Ag gies had previously split a two- game set. 2-Hit Benners Tuesday, SMU nipped the Uni versity of Houston 2-0 behind the two-hit pitching of Fred Benners.

(We give “by-lines.”) for conference honors. Besides Ben ners, Dick Beadle has turned in some excellent mound work for the Red and Blue. In the first game with TCU, Beadle fought a tight pitching duel with Frog ace Nome (Knobby) Graves before the Pony junior emerged winner with a five-hitter under his belt. The score was 4-1. It was not until Beadle took over in the ninth and fanned the last two TCU batters that the Mustangs won their second game from the Christians, 11-9. BOB’s The young southpaw’s only weak ness seemed to be in the walk de partment, and then it wasn’t too serious. Only once did a base on balls prove disastrous, in the first inning when the Frogs pushed their first and only runs across. The run ner had previously walked. Catcher Bill Edwards, left field er Reid Williams and third base- man Neil Neilson will provide plen ty power at the plate. Williams punched out a three-run homer in the second TCU game to provide the winning runs for his teammates. It was in the initial Frog-Pony meeting that Edwards pooled a tremendous triple to chase home the edging tallies." Neilson is strictly a clutch-hit ter. On paper the Aggies look to be just a little better than their Dal las opponents, even though the Methodists have won their first two conference starts which includ ed one win over the TCU ace, Graves. Starting pitcher for the Aggies will be Bob Tankersley, right-hand er from San Antonio. Tankersley lost a 1-0 heartbreaker against Minnesota Golden Gophers the last time out.
