A&M’s tennis team hits the road
tomorrow and journeys to Waco
to tangle with the Baylor Bears in
a contest that will climax the 1951
• Aggie net campaign.
Ranking a meager third in
Southwest Conference competition,
the Cadet net team rates a bet
ter than even chance to triumph
over the cellar dwelling Bruins,
and with other conference tennis
engagements going the "right
.way,” also have a statistical chance
to wind up in the No. 2 spot.
Aggie tennis coach W. M. Dowell
will depend heavily on the No. 1
Cadet netter, Ray DeBerry, who
has been a cog in A&M’s tennis
machine throughout the season.
DeBerry Leads
DeBerry will be pitted against
leading Bruin netter Bill Telford
in the top match of the day. Tel
ford’s record shows but one win in
seasonal play. In the second seeded
position A&M will pit Gene Letsos
against No. 2 man for the Bears,
Larry Goldbeck. Letsos is in his
first year of conference play, but
has turned in several commendable
performances, while Goldbeck has
a record similar to that of his
teammates—only one win in SWC
competition.
. Rounding out the Aggie contin
gent be Boyce Tate and lHck
Hardin, who play in the No. 2 and
B spots, respectively.
In the doubles events, the strong
er Aggies will send DeBerry and
either Tate or Letsos against the
No. 1 Bear twosome of Goldbeck

A&M Track, Diamond, Golf
Stars Compete Today in SWC
Three A&M athletic aggrega
tions engage four Southwest Con
ference opponents this afternoon in
three Texas cities. The Aggie
speedsters meet both Rice and Tex
as in a triangular meet over in
Austin and are favorites to con
tinue in their undefeated ways.
In a more crucial contest Coach
Beau Bell’s diamond charges play
the first game this afternoon of
a two game series that should de
cide who will occupy the No. 2
spot in SWC baseball behind the
Texas Longhorns—repeating cham
pions.
While all this is taking place,
the Farmer golf team will tangle
with Texas Christian linksmen in
a battle to establish the cellar spot.
Hooper, Simpson Lead Way
Today’s track meet will be the
final showing before the all-impor
tant SWC meet at Kyle Field May
11 and 12, where the Cadet track
and field team hopes to regain the
conference crown.
Featured in the long list of Ag
gies track stars will be Darrow
Hooper, Jack Simpson, Paul Lem-
ing, Buddy Davis, along with the
440 and the mile relay teams.
Hooper is expected to repeat as
high point man, as his records to
date in the discus and shot events
have presented a formidable ob
stacle for his many opponents.

Aggie Fencers Get Nod
In SWC Competition
The Aggie fencing team i
goes to Houston tomorrow
for the Southwest Conference
meets. Pre-meet dope leans
towards the Cadets and
the defending champion Rice Owls
for conference domination, with
Texas figuring to rank a slow
third. ,
The Aggies and the Owls are
evenly matched, as the Farmers
boast of a better ,epee squad, while
Rice claims a sharper sabre team.
In the foil event there is little to
choose between the two teams, but
on the basis of seasonal records,
the Cadets should have a slight
edge.
Carrying a fine record into the
meet, the Cadets are undefeated in
three dual meets, including wins
over Rice, Texas and a clear vic
tory in Amateur Fencing League of
America competition. Both the Ag-
gie foil and epee squads have qual
ified for the state finals.
Adding to the aforementioned
victories, the Cadet foil team re
mains unbeaten against collegiate
opponents, as they show additional
wins over Tarleton and a College
Station team. The only mar on
their records in the current season
came at the hands of the Galveston
Buccaneers.
The epee squad has turned the
tables on all of its opponents—
Williams Hurls as Kow
Klub Tops AVMA, 5-1
expense of the Aggies early this
season.
The only change in the Cadet
roster will be Bill Munnerlyn to
replace Yale Lary on the first
sack. Lary has been shifted to
left field and John DeWitt will cov
er the center field area.
Golfers Fight Cellar
Both the Frog and Cadet golf
teams have won one-third of their
conference matches this season to
wind up in a tie for last place
and this afternoon’s encounter
should decide who will remain and
who will go on for slightly higher
honors.
Coach Gayther Nowell will send
his regular team of Bob Dahoney,
Tony Guerrero, Johnny Barrett,
and Bill Baker out against the
Christians in hopes of scoring thier
first outright win in conference
competition.
The Kream and Kow Klub rack
ed up their second victory of the
current season by trimming the Jr.
AVMA, 5-1. Harold Williams, lanky
Kream and Kow righthander,
turned in a neat two-hitter and
had a shutout until the final inn-!
ing when a wildness streak handed
the Vets their lone tally.
The Kream and Kow scored four
of their runs in the first frame
off three walks, a single, double
and triple, J. C. Hart was the vic
tim of the barrage.
Jack Birkner became the first
strikeout victim of the contest
but Stan Rosenthal, the Kream
and Kow shortstop, pushed a neat
bouncer to second scoring Cruse
and gaining first as the AVMA
second sackex , ’s throw was late to
first base. Louis Cordes was walked
advancing Rosenthal to second

from where he easily scored on
Dick Allen’s two-bagger.
After going scoreless through the
first two innings of play the los
ers finally broke into the scoring
column in the last frame.
Rif Frankssop opened the third
by blasting a deep fly to center
but Christner moved under it and
took it for the first out.
O. G. Tobias received a free
ticket to first from Williams. Bill
Nichols bounced to the pitcher but
all hands were safe when the
throw to nip Tobias was late.

ton; while the sabre team has fal-"
len to Rice and Galveston among
the previous teams.
On the other hand, Rice has trim
med Texas in a dual meet and has
qualified its crack sabre team for
the state finals. The Owls will de
pend heavily on their sabre aggre
gation, which includes Horace
Flatt, 1950 SWC individual champ
ion and 1951 Gulf Coast AFLA in
dividual champion, to carry the
main load in the Saturday meet.
Backing up Flatt for the Owls
will be Leopold French, who placed
second in conference play last sea
son. Although the Longhorns will
not present a strong team, they are
conceded a slight chance of gaining
first place honors, and are consid
ered capable of giving the favor
ites a rough afternoon and will
probably be the team that decides
the outcome of the meet.
Gottlob Leads Team
The Steers are weak in both
epee and sabre, but their foil team
beat Rice and lost to A&M by a
lone point.
For A&M, foil duty will be div
ided up among John Gottlob; 1950
SWC individual foil champion, Joe
Mayes, Bob Jones, Tom Munnerlyn,
and Willie Matthijetz. Epee will be
handled by team captain Curtis
Wilson, 1950 Gulf Coast AFLA
titlist; Willie Sclather, Gottlob, and
Mayes.
The sabre team will be composed
of Gottlob, Claude Holmes, Ted
Fields, Chuck Massey, and Frank
Ragusa. The sabre squad, which
boast only two lettermen and in
cludes two sophomores, has shown
signs lately of finding itself and
if its 9-0 shellacking of Texas is
any indication of things to come,
the Aggies may well have elimin
ated Achilles’ heel.
