Bell, A&M’s head baseball coach, wants to be sure that his All-Southwest Conference hurler and his only southpaw get everything straight. The Ag gies are tied for second in the SWC and will need some fine service from these three men if they are to win the conference crown.

While 44,860 fans watched, the talented Yankee righthander rode home behind a seven-hit attack that routed Willie Wight in the sixth. Jackie Jensen, the California football star whom manager Casey Stengel wanted to convert into a pitcher, stole the show from Mickey Mantle, the publicized rookie flash.

Brooklyn: Robin Roberts return ed to his field of triumph today, pitching the defending champion Philadelphia Phils to a 5-2 victory over Brooklyn to dampen the Dodgers’ home inaugural before 19,217 disappointed and'winter- frocked fans. The rosy-cheeked righthanded ace, who whipped the Brooks in the season’s finale last season to bring the first league championship to Philadelphia in 35 years, picked up where he left off last October, spacing nine hits in a route-going effort. Roberts got the necessary hit ting support from Del Ennis, Mike Goliat and Dick Sisler, the same trio that proved so troublesome to the Dodgers last year.

Ags Swamp ’Kats 13-3 Under Lights; Meet Texas Next ’Mural Basketball Champs By FRED WALKER Battalion Sports Editor Aggie bats boomed and Cadet thumping averages rose yesterday as the A&M baseball team walloped the Sam Houston State Bearkats, 13-3 in Huntsville. Warming up before they meet the mighty Steers, A&M scored in five innings while clipping out three tallies in the second and third, one in the sixth, two in the seventh and a big four in the eighth. This was the second game that the Aggies had taken from Sam Houston and it gave them the dis tinction of being the only South west Conference team to sweep both contests from the Bearkats this season. The middle of the batting order did most of the mopping up last night. John DeWitt, A&M’s lead ing batter, boosted his fat .385 average by slapping out a single and a homer in three official trips. 4 Get 8 Of the 13 hits that came off Aggie bats, eight went to four men, Shug McPherson, Henry Can- delari, Hollis Baker and DeWitt. For the most part, Cadet pitch ing kept a tight reign on the ’Kats. Sam Blanton, the winning hurler, was touched for six hits and three runs in five innings. Blanton whiffed two and passed two. Bob Tankersley relieved Blanton in the sixth and finished the scrap like a fireball. Tankersley allow ed the Sam Houston batters but one hit in four complete innings while he struck out seven and walked three. Consecutive hits, by DeWitt, Candelari and Baker, a ground-out by Wilbur Hamilton, a single by Blanton and a free pass to short stop Guy Wallace, brought the first three Aggie runs scampering across. DeWitt started the fire works in the third with a home run.
