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

some fine service from these three men if they
are to win the conference crown.

victory for New York’s defending
world champs.
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.

Jensen, playing left field for
limping Hank Bauer, smashed a
two-run homer in the third for the
first scores. His double to 1 right

on the way to the showers.

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. His

men in the eighth. James Dishman
relieved Wallace, Lester Lackey
took over second, Bill Munnerlyn

right and Jerry Lasterlick went to
third.
The other five Aggie hits were

Texas. The Longhorns have won
six straight while losing none.
