Ags High
At Drake
By RAY HOLBROOK
Battalion Sports Staff
Despite bad luck in the mile and
440 relays, and with their star
high jumper badly out of his
usual form, the Texas A&M 12-
man team outscored every compet
ing team from the west coast to the
East in the recent Drake Relays.
The Aggies piled up 20Mi points
in the nation’s top relay carnival
to take the unofficial team title
away from runner-up Michigan,
who scored 20 tallies. Drake was
next in line with 18.
In what was quite an unusual
feat for the Cadets in a northern
meet, every one of the 12-man

squad placed in at least one event.
All of these places were thirds
or better except the 440 relay
which was “given” fifth for one
point.
One of Few
A&M joins in as one of the only
teams from the Southwest to take
high scoring team honors at the
Des Moines Relay Carnival. Texas
turned the trick in 1948.
The Aggie sophomore weight
star Darrow Hooper scored nearly
half the team’s total points. He
copped both the shot and discus
for 10 big points. These were also
the only cadet firsts of the meet.
Returning from conducting a
three-week track clinic for the
United States Armed Forces in
Germany, Col. Frank Anderson,
A&M’s head track coach, reached
Dos Moines just in time to see his
squad in action, outscoring some
of the nation’s best.
Tells of Trip
Col. Andy came back to College
Station with the team, and has
nothing but praise for the Army,,
which arranged his trip to Ger-
many.
He reported an enjoyable time
in Germany and told of an interest
ing tour of Berlin. He also took a
day’s trip into the “far reaches”
of the Iron Curtain, but returned
without a single mishap.
However, Col. Andy did not
show up at A&M with the javelin
thrower as many hoped he would,
since the Ag track team appears to
be in dire need of such a performer.

Aggie Nine Takes
Over 2nd In SWC;
Whip SMU in 10th
By FRED WALKER
Battalion Sports Editor
It took the Aggie baseball team
ten innings to do it yesterday, but
with some fine relief pitching, a
hit batter, a sacrifice, a single and
a little luck, A&M put the clamps
on the SMU Ponies at Dallas, 5-4.
s SMU suffered a disappointment
in its last home game of the sea
son, when in the tenth, pitcher
Denny Davidson bounced one off
Yogi Candelari. The third sackcr
went to second on Bill Munnerlyn’s
sacrifice and scored a few minutes
later when catcher A1 Ogletree
slapped a single back through the
middle.
Pitching had been one of the
highlights of the game which saw
the Aggies kick the Mustangs out
of second and take over the posi
tion themselves. Blanton Taylor
hurled seven frames for A&M and
came out with a “four” record all
the way. Taylor gave up four hits,
four runs and four walks. He fan
ned four.
Bob Tankersley, who relieved
Golfers Lose To
Taylor and finished the game, fi
nally got a win after going three
innings in which he gave up no
hits or runs, walked only one and
fanned two. These three frames
made a total of 12 that Tankersley
has pitched before receiving credit
one way or the othey. Last Friday
he went nine against TCU and was
not counted in the final outcome of
the 11-inning contest.
A&M scored one in the first when
captain Guy Wallace walked and
eventually came home from second
on Bill McPherson’s sharp single
down the third base line.
Three more runs wei<fc stacked
up in the 4th—after two were out.
Taylor and second baseman Joe
Ecrette drew walks from SMU
starter Dick Beadle, Wallace sin
gled home Taylor and Ecrette and
Wallace tallied when third base-
man Neil Neilsori’s low throw on
Yale Lary’s grounder got past first
baseman Charles Galey.
The Mustangs scored all of their
runs in the 7th on two walks, a
single, a wild throw to first and a
wild pitch.
Ecrette, Wallace (2), Candelari
and Taylor scored for the Aggies
and Wallace, McPhe'rson and Mun-
nerlyn all batted runs in.

Trinity U- 5-2;
Frogs Up Next
The Aggie Golfers will tee-
off against TCU at 1 p. m.
Friday on the Colonial Coun
try Club Golf Course in Fort
Worth.
Bob Dahoney, who has become
one of the top golfers in the SWC,
will again take his position as No.
1 man for the Aggies. Dahoney
will team up with Johnnie Barrett
to take the green against the
Horned Frogs in the No. 1 doubles
match.
Tony Guerrero and J. C. Fletcher
compose the No. 2 doubles team.
Fletcher replaced Billy Baker as
No. 4 singles man last week when
these two played a two-out-of-three
match to determine who plays the
spot.
No. 2 man in the singles is
Guerrero, with Barrett and Fletcher
playing the No. 3 and 4 positions
resectively.
' This was the team which held
the powerful golfers from Trinity
University of San Antonio, to a 5-2
score last Friday. Tripity not
only took the match with the Ags,
but went on to Denton Saturday to
defeat North Texas, who has held
the NCAA title for three years.
The San Antonians overran the fa
vored North Texans with a safe
score of 5-1.
Baker, replaced by Fletcher, re
mains an active team member, since
the Gulf Coast Conference plays a
five man team. Teams in the SWC
play only four men. The Aggies
will be struggling Friday to rise
from their present standing as
lowest team in the SWC.
