Fencers Only Texas
Conqueror Last Week
By GUS MISTROT
The Aggie swordsmen came
through as the only team to beat
a University of Texas aggregation
as A&M’s Fencing team crushed
Texas by a lop-sided 20-7 margin
in a dual meet here Saturday.
The Cadets were masters all the
way as they won the foil 5-4, the
epee 6-3 and the sabre 9-0.
In foil play the Farmers used
John Gottlob, Bob Jones, Willie
Matthijetz and Tom Munnerlyn.
Jones won two bouts and lost none;
Gottlob won two and lost one; and
Matthijetz copped one while drop
ping one.
' Started Fast
The Aggies started out fast
and won four of the first five
bouts, but the Longhorns sudden
ly came to life and made a real
scrap of it.
A classy Aggie epee team, com
posed of Gottlob, Curtis Wilson
and Wally Schlather breezed
through the Longhorns without
meeting any serious opposition.
Each member of the Cadet squad
won two bouts while losing only
one.
A&M’s sabre squad, usually the
weak part of the team, turned the
meet into a complete rout. Gottlob
won three bouts for the Maroon and
White and Ted Fields, Frank Rag-
use and Chuck Massey won two
apiece.

Fish Plastered
By Shorthorn
Nine, 10-to-3
In an exciting but unfor
tunate ball game Friday, the
Aggie Fish were defeated by
a powerful Texas Shorthorn
team 10-3.
Bill Newberry was the first man
up for the Texas freshmen, and he
drew a walk from Aggie pitcher
Melvin Work; third baseman Bob
Towery was the second Shorthorn
.to face Work and was struck out
on the straight hard pitches char
acteristic of Work.
Paul Mohr fouled out, when Joe
Schero made a good running catch,
near the stands, for out number
two; Travis Eckert, center fielder,
also struck out, ending the first
inning.
In the second half of the first
inning, Aggie Roy Marin got a
base-on-balls off Texas pitcher
Reilly Verdine; Roscoe Hunt, pep
pery Fish captain and second base-
man, lined a ground ball to Texas
shortstop Ken Horton, who under
handed the ball to Newberry, forc
ing Marin at second; Newberry for
warded the ball to Mohr doubling
Hunt at first.
Charlie Leissner, Aggie short
stop, struck out retiring the side.
The Fish scored the first run of
the game on a solid line drive by
left-fielder Roy Marin; Mel Work,
who had drawn a walk before Ma
rin came to bat, scored on the hit.
The second Fish run came in the
fourth inning on a long double by
center-fielder Ernie Lawrence, Sel-
man scoring from,second on the
hit.
In the fifth inning, the Short
horns made their first hit of the
game and pushed a run across as
the result of a long fly ball to
right field.

Ag Baseball Hopes
Dim As TU Takes
Slugfest, 14-10
By FRED WALKER
Battalion Sports Editor
A&M baseball aspirations took a sharp, nosedive Satur
day when mighty Texas slammed out a 14-to-10 victory
over the Cadets in Austin. ;
In a game that lasted two hours and fifty-five minutes,
a capacity crowd of 4,500 saw 25 basehits rapped out and 10
errors committed in one of the most wild and wooly baseball
affairs yet seen in the Southwest Conference.
The Longhorns, who are trying to return to the NCAA
playoffs where they will be defending champions (Texas
has won the collegiate crown the last two years.), mustered
15 hits to A&M’s 10 and brought-4
almost every man across the plate.
While seven pitchers were run
ning back and forth to the mound,
the lead was changing four times
in the SWC’s feature game of the
week. The loop-leading Longhorns
(7 wins, no losses) surged ahead
for good in the fifth inning.
The Aggie batters made a strong
bid for victory in the big fifth by
pounding across four runs on two
hits in a melee' of wild fielding by
Texas.
Texas jumped back with four
matching runs in their half of the
inning and the Cadet work went
for naught.
Last Ditch Stand
Another Aggie rally came in the
do-or-die ninth when A&M filled
the sacks with only one down. It
looked for the moment like some
Cadet scoring would take place but
Steer reliefer, Milton Deason, bore
down and the Aggies were unable
to score a man.
Four ace hurlers, Pat Hubert
and Bob Tankersley of A&M and
Texas’ Jim Ehrler and Jimmy
Hand, were shelled from the mound
during the batters holiday.
Leading batters for A&M were
John DeWitt (two for three), Yogi
Candelari (two for four), Wilbur
Hamilton (two for three) and Joe
Ecrette (two for six).
They Led
DeWitt scored three runs and
batted in one; Candelari scored
two and knocked in three; Hamil
ton scored one and brought in
one; and Ecrette scored two.
Deason was credited with the
win while Tankersley was charged
with the loss.

Netters Bow
To Longhorns
Quartet, 5-1
By ED HOLDER
Battalion Sports Staff
Aggies hopes for taking the
SWC Doubles title increased by
leaps and bounds Saturday as Ray
DeBerry and Royce Tate overran
Julian Oates and Bill Harris of
TU in the only match won by
the Aggie netters in the entire
meet.
As the Ags went down in de
feat to a powerful Longhorn team,
5- 1, DeBerry and Tate offered the
only consolation by their winning
the No. 1 doubles, 6-2, 3-6, and
6- 4.
In the No. 1 singles, DeBerry
took a beating from Texas’ No. 1
man, Julian Oates. The final score
was 7-5, 6-3. Oats is a constant
threat to the SWC title.
Aggie Eugene Letsos lost his
match 4-6, 6-3, and 6.-3 to Bernard
Gerhardt in the No. 2 singles. This
was Letsos’ first defeat of the
year.
Charles Bloodworth of the Steers
pounded Royce Tate in the No. 3
spot, 6-1, 6-2, as the Longhorns
continued on their winning spree.
Dick Hardin of the Aggies lost
to Bill Harris in the bout preced
ing DeBerry’s and Tate’s victory.
“I would contribute our success
in the doubles this year to the fact
that Royce and I have played to
gether for a long time and that we
never have any disagreements on
the court,” said DeBerry.
“Another aid in our success
might well be contained in our
knowledge of one another’s game.
That is, I know Tate’s faults and
he knows mine, and we know how
to cover each other up in those
spots,” DeBerry added.
In the No. 2 doubles, the Aggies
suffered another defeat by losing
to Gerhardt and Bloodworth of
the Steers. Letsos and Hardin
played the match in a 6-4, 6-3
loss.
The Aggies next match will be
with OU tomorrow at 1:30 on the

Hooper Wins at Kansas
By RAY HOLBROOK
Battalion Sports Staff
The Aggie track team added
more prestige to their mound of
laurels last weekend as they de
feated Rice 87-45 in dual meet in
Houston while three star entries
gained two firsts, a third and a
tie for third in the Kansas Re
lays.
Dynamic Darrow Hooper, the
Aggies’ soph weight ace, showed
the way again as he took the
shot and discus titles at the Kan
sas Relays.
Hooper put the shot 51’ SVz”
and threw the discus 145’ 5%” in
the cold, damp Kansas weather.
His was the only double win at
the meet, and with these wins
Hooper was able to retain his un
beaten status for the year.
Ran Third
The Aggie mile relay quartet
composed of Bob Mays, Fuston
McCarty, Bernie Place and Don
Mitchell, blew an eight-yard lead
at the end of the third lap on a
poor pass and interception. They
finished third behind Oklahoma
and Drake and a winning time of
3:18.
A slow wet track didn’t slow
down the Cadets as they averaged
close to 48.5 on the first three laps
and gradually built up a lead. How
ever, Mitchell couldn’t get the
baton from Place and had to stop,
turn around and lose 12 yards over
the field.
Jack Simpson, the Ags only
other Kansas entry suffered from
the cold, wet conditions and clear
ed only 13’ for a 3rd place tie in
the pole vault.
Don Cooper of Nebraska provid
ed the meets outstanding per
formance as he, apparently at home
in the cold weather, cleared the
polevault bar at 15’ 1/8” for a
Steers Close
In On SWC
Baseball Title
If anybody catches Texas in
the Southwest Conference base
ball championship it will be a sen
sation.
The Longhorns push to the half
way mark of the campaign unde
feated in conference play and
boasting a three-game lead.
Last Aveek Texas vvhipped SMU
12-4 and Texas A&M 14-10 while
the challengers were all taking it
on the chin. A&M had previously
whipped Sam Houston 13-3.
Baylor beat TCU 8-3 but split
with Rice, 4-8 and 10-7 while SMU

First Again
new Kansas and Intercollegiate
outdoor record. A few hours later,
however, Don Laz of Illinois, set
yet another record by going over
at 15’ 1 3/4” at Los Angeles.
The powerful aggregation who
went to Rice, despite the loss of
seven outstanding performers to
the Kansas meet, swept over the
Owls, 87-45.
A substitute Cadet mile relay
team, the fine Ag 440 relay, and
two Rice half-milers provided the
outstanding performances.
Whipping off the two laps in
1:54.2, Bill Graf and Otha Byrd
of Rice finished in a near dead
heat to beat Ag Ed Wilmsen by
eight yards in the 880. This is
the best time in the SWC this
year.
After tying the nation’s best time
this year in the 440 relay with a
blazing 42.0, the Farmer foursome
of Buddy Shaeffer, Billy Bless,
Bobby Ragsdale and Bill Stalter
will be shooting for national hon
ors next week at Drake.
With a terrific home stretch kick,
James Baker brought the substi
tute Maroon and White mile relay
home winner over Rice by ten
yards. Cecil Inglehart, Alex Ortiz
and Buddy Shaeffer teamed with
Baker for a 3:19.9 time.
Baker, who had earlier won the
440 in 49.5, showed tremendous
improvement.
Probably the closest race of the
day was the dead heat run in the
high hurdles by Rice’s Bill How-
ton and A&M’s Paul Leming.
Ho w ton Won
The race-was taken by Howton,
however, in 14.7. Leming came
back later to win the lows in 24.2.
Aggie Buddy Shaeffer provided
the meet’s biggest surprise by tak
ing high point honors with 11 1/4.
Shaeffer took second in the 100,
220 and javelin, and also ran on
the winning 440 and mile relay
