Tracksters Get Nod in Rice
Dual; Top Men Go to Kansas
By BAY HOLBROOK
* Batt Sports Writer
With seven of their outstanding
performers entered in Kansas Re
lays, the remainder of the powerful
Aggie track squad will engage Rice
Institute tomorrow in a dual meet
jn Houston.
Regardless of the loss of these
outstanding members, the Aggies
are the favorites to sweep past
Rice and remain undefeated for the
year.
Some of the best races of the
day* however, are the ones which
Rice is likely to triumph. These
are the high hurdles, the 880 and
the mile relay.
Hurdles — Toss Up
Paul Leming, A&M’s SWC cham
pion high hurdler, and Bill Hous
ton of Rice have met four times
this year and each emerged with
two wins over the other. The
most recent of these meetings was
on Kyle Field last Saturday where
Leming cleared the last hurdle
ahead of Houston and took the
contest with his best time of the
^season, 14.4. With Houston on his
*home track, the race will be a toss-
up.
Rice’s duo of fine 880 men, Bill
Graf and SWC record holder Otha
Byrd, will match their speed
against the A&M aces, Ed Wilm-
Ben, Robert Allen and J. A. Terry.
In Saturday’s meet, Graf beat
Wilmsen in the home stretch to

win with a time of 1:57.1 as Byrd
finished third. Wilmsen holds two
wins over both the Rice men from
earlier in the season however, as
well as the fastest time of 1:55.1.
This indicates that tomorrow’s race
should be a good one.
Mile Relay—Close
A quartet replacing the Aggie
relay team in Kansas which can
beat the Rice relayers will be hard
to find. Probable replacements
will be Alex Ortiz, Cecil Ingle-
hart, Buddy Shaeffer, and James
Baker. Rice will have to give
anchor man Byrd a good lead
though in what should be a top-
notch race.
Other firsts that Rice is likely
to take include the shot and discus
by employing Ronnie Berger and
Jim Gerfardt. They are favored
to cop their end of the meet since
the Aggie sensation Darrow Hoop
er made the trip to Kansas.
The Owls may add the javelin
throw to their victories tomorrow

since the Agvgie tracksters have
not been able to produce a single
man from their ranks capable for
this event.
Victory over the majority of the
ten events should belong to the
Agvgies. Bill Statler is the top
100 and 220 man, Baker should
take the 440, John Garmany over
Rice’s Joe Franks in the mile, and
Charlie Gabriel over Henry Win
ston of Rice in the two-mile event.
Billy Bless and Bobby Ragsdale
will take care of the low hurdles
for A&M and Ragsdale is favored
to take the broad jump. Don
Graves will try the high jump for
A&M.
Poll Vault
Graves and bis partners in the
poll vault, Malcolm Marks and
Glen Spradlin, are still a great
threesome in the vault. They will
take care of this event even though
A&M’s star vaulted Jack Simpson
has made the trip to Kansas to
jump with the big boys.
A&M’s 440 relay with the third
best time in the nation is highly
favored to ,win. The team is made
up of Shaeffer, Bless, Ragsdale,
and Statler. Bemie Place is the
regular lead off man with this
crew but he is in' Kansas with
the mile relay.

Aggies Seek Clean Sweep In
Week-end Sports with Texas
Eddie Burrows
Texas University shortstop is
currently leading the conference
in hitting. He has scored 7 runs,
made 12 hits. His batting aver
age is .480. He is expected to be
a thorn in the side of Aggie hurl-
ers in this weekend’s series. The
outcome of the seriesi may well
rest on how well he fares against
the offerings of Aggie pitchers.

Three Aggie teams will vie with
their toughest opponents today and
tomorrow when they journey once
more to Austin to meet the Long
horns.
With hopes still in their minds
the Aggie Baseballers will try to
hold onto one remaining chance for
the conference title as they go into
their first of three games with the
Longhorns tomorrow afternoon at
3:15 on Clark Field.
The undefeated but twice-tied
A&M Golfers put their talents to
work this afternoon when they will
i try to uphold their record as well
as aid in an attempt at making a
clean sweep of this week-end’s
events with TU.
Aggie netters will meet the fa
vored TU tennis team Saturday
with Ray DeBerry playing the
number one position and facing
veteran player Julian Oats.
When A&M baseballers enter
Clark Field as the underdogs, they
will meet a team defending an
eight-year-old record of consecu
tive SWC victories on their home

Texas Freshmen Tomorrow
A&M’s freshman baseball team the most promising right handers develop into good varsity mater-
meets the powerful Texas Frosh
Saturday afternoon on Kyle Field
while the varsity teams play in
Austin. Game time will be 3 p. m.
The Fish will pit a team which
has won six victories to a single
defeat against the visitors from
Austin. A&M has won a pair of
games from Blinn College and
singles from Reagan High School,
Wharton Junior College, Stephen F.
Austin High School and the Rice
Owlets. The Baylor Cubs sat the
Fish down 9-4 for their one loss.
There are only three students
on baseball scholarships on the
Aggie Fish this year. The remaind
er of the team consists of non
scholarship boys who played some
baseball in high school.
The key to the freshmen suc
cesses this season can he found
in its strength “down the middle.”
Pitching for the Fish are two of
in the conference—Melvin Work
of Dallas and James Sills of 1
Houston.
Work Has Poise
Work, who has poise to bum,
possesses a good fast ball that is
hard to hit, and above average con
trol. It’s not unusual for him to
strike out eight or 10 batters per
game. Coach Wally Moon says
Work conducts himself more like
a pro than a freshman competitor.
Sills is proving to be another val
uable hurler. Another scholarship
student, Sills throws a mean curve
hall. He was an outstanding right
hander while in high school.
Team captain Roscoe Hunt of
San Antonio holds down second
base for the Fish. He pivots and
fields well from his key position.
A fairly good hitter, he should
ial later.
Schero—Third Base
Joe Schero, another San An
tonio athlete, is the No. 1 third
baseman. An all-around athlete,
Schero is attending A&M on a
football scholarship. He fields well
and is potentially a good hitter.
Charles Leissner of Austin, Fish
short stop, is one of the most
dependable hitters on the team. A
good fielder, Leissner will provide
valuable depth for this position
when varsity captain Guy Wallace
graduates in June.
Other top prospects on the team
are Jerry Robinett of El Paso,
catcher; Alton Fuchs of Cameron,
right field; and David Selman of
Kountze, first base. Fuchs is the
strongest hitter on the team, and
he hits fairly regularly.

consecutive home-field victory for
the Longhorns will be tall right
hander James Ehrler.
Having pitched four victories and
no defeats this year, Ehrler is a
threat to Aggie victoi*y, and his
.412 batting average for the year
rates him even higher as the num
ber one TU baseball menace.
A no-hit, no-run pitching hero
in the 1950 NCAA Baseball Tour
nament at Omaha, he has yielded
only three earned runs in the three
collegiate games he has started
this year, for an ERA of 1.0.
A graduate from Central Cath
olic High School in San Antonio,
the Steer senior will have the
backing of the team favored to
cop the SWC title this year as he
takes the mound.
Eddie Burrows, shortstop for the
league-leading Steers, adds his bat
ting prowess to the powerful Long
horn hitting crew. With the title
chase at the half way mark, Bur
rows is leading the conference in
runs scored (7), total hits (12),
total bases (18), and is co-leader
in two-base hits.
Batting a .480 in conference play,
Burrows is runner-up to teammate
Chile Bigham in batting and is
crowding the leaders in runs bat
ted in, stolen bases and bases on
balls.
Coach Beau Bell of the Aggies
can call on any of his four right-
handed pitchers, Sam Blanton, Bob
Tankersley, Pat Hubert, or Ernest
Johnson. It will probably be be
tween Hubert and Johnson for the
starting honors.
Other starters for the Aggies
will be Henry Candelari, 3b, John
DeWitt, If, Joe Ecrette, 2b, Yale
Lary, lb, Shug McPherson, rf, A1
Ogletree, c, Guy Wallace, ss, and
Hollis Baker, cf.
The Aggies, with a thi’ee won
and two lost record, meet the
Steers who have won all six of their
conference games for a record of
1.000.
Champions of the 1950 NCAA
Tournament in Omaha, and con
ference champs for the past eight
years, Texas is highly favored to
reepat last year’s performances and
cop the title again.
The Aggie Golfers defend their
record of no defeats today as they
play against a more experienced
and favored TU group. These Ag
gies have held out against Rice
and Baylor with two ties.
Playing at the Municipal Golf
Course in Austin today are Robert
Dahoney, Tony Guerrero, Johnny
Barrett, and either Bill Baker or
J. C. Fletcher.

On the Penick Courts Saturday
afternoon at 2, the Aggie netters
meet a slightly favored Steer team.
The Longhorns boast their Julian
Oats while the Aggies boast their
Ray DeBerry. Each of these men
play the No. 1 position on their
teams and this should prove to be
a very closely matched pair.
DeBerry lost to Dick Osborne
here Monday as the Aggie netters
went on to capture their first vic
tory of the season. He took five
straight points from Osborne in the,
initial set of the match and finished
the victor by a wide margin of 6-2.
In the second set however, De
Berry was winning by another
large margin when Osborne earned
five straight points to emerge on
the top side, 7-5. Then in the last
and deciding set, with DeBerry
leading with a 5-3 margin, Osborne
came up from behind to force him
into an overtime.
After several pressing minutes,
Osborne took the match 9-7.
Eugene Letsos, the only unde
feated man from A&M in confer
ence play, meets Bernard Gerhart
in the No. 2 singles. This promis
ing young sophomore from Galves
ton, won his last match 6-2 and 6-3.
He did this over the No. 2 man for
TCU, James Wilson. Letsos will
be out to defend his record against
Gerhart.
In the No. 3 match, Aggie Royce
Tate will match talents against
Dthe Steer’s Charles Bloodworth.
Bill Harris of the Longhorns meets
Ag Dick Hardin in the No. 4
singles match. All these matches
should prove to be very close, and
the two teams will have a tough
fight on their hands in deciding
which is better, said DeBerry.
