Monday, May 7, 1951 THE BATTALION Page 3 Aggie Nine Closes On 2nd Place With Double Bear Kill By ED HOLDER Battalion Sports Staff Behind the four hit pitching of Pat Hubert, the Aggie Diamond Squad copped their two games ser ies with the Baylor Bears, 9-0 and 12-G. In Friday’s game, the first of the series, Hubert became the first pitcher of the season to blank the Bears in a shut-out. His teammates .aided in the cause with their er rorless playing. Also a big factor in Friday’s win was the much-improved bat ting of the Ags. A1 Ogletrce catcher, drove across three runs with a single, a double, and a triple. This netted him three for four at the plate. Another leading Aggie hitter was Yogi Candelari with his triple and two doubles. The Bruins, playing on their home field, were baffeled at Hu bert's assortment of pitches as he kept the one remaining spark of hope for the Aggies taking the SWC title alive and glowing. In the second game, Saturday afternoon, Bob Tankersley gave up 10 hits, but the Aggie squad came to the rescue with their better-than- ever hitting to help him win, 12-6. By winning this game, the Cadets destroyed Baylor’s last slim chance to finish with second place honors. Highlight of the game was Guy Wallace's bases-loaded homer. He piled up a total of 5 runs batted in during the afternoon. Othpr top sluggers in Saturday’s game’ 1 were Yale Lary, with two doubles, and Shug McPherson, with a single and a home run.

Stalter of the Aggie track- sters established himself as a definite threat to two events in the SWC meet when he emerged high point man at Friday’s con test. Golf Team Nips TCU4-2 At Fort Worth The Aggie Golfers tripped TCU 4-2 in Fort Worth Friday to grab a firmer hold on the No. 3 spot. Johnny Barrett, Bob Dahoney and J. C. Fletcher all won singles matches while the only loss in two some competition was suffered by Tony Guerrero. A&M’s only doubles loss fell on Guerrero and Fletcher. The linksmen will play SMU in a re-scheduled match Wednesday afternoon and then Thursday and Friday they will be the host quar tet to all Southwest golfers in the annual Southwest Conference Golf Meet. If the Aggies should score more than one and one-half points on the Mustangs Wednesday, the fair- ways-and-greens title will automat ically go to Texas. On the other hand, if the Ponies should take five of the six matches they would be the champs. A four and one-half win to SMU would put the Ponies in a tie with the Long horns. In an Ohio State League game, June 25, 1912, Pitcher Selbach of tvalked 11, hit three batters and made a wild pitch.

Tax extra Tracksters Capture 11 Firsts, Tie For One By RAY HOLBROOK Battalion Sports Staff Taking 11 first places and tie- ing for first place in a 12th event, the powerful A&M trackmen de feated Texas and Rice in the third triangular meet of the year among the three schools. Aggie squad men rolled up 99 points as compared with Texas’ showing of 53 and Rice’s low-hole score of 18 points. This win over Texas was the first since 1943 on Texas home grounds for the Cadets, and it also brought the Ags within one meet of being the first A&M track squad to finish a season undefeated. The last meet will be held this weekend on Kyle Field, where the Aggies are highly favored to win. Stalter High Pointer Outstanding performer in the meet was Bill Stalter, sophomore sprint star. He emerged as high point man when he won the 100 yd. dash in 9.8, and the 220 in 21.0. Stalter also ran anchor man for the 440 relay which won with a time of 42.0. Stalter’s time in the 220 equals the best recorded in the nation this year. He is to be the favorite in the 100 and 220 in the conference meet since Texas sprint star Ralph Person is sidelined with an injury. Close behind Stalter in total points tallied was another Aggie Soph, Harrow Hooper. Undefeated in nine meets this year in both the shot and discus, Hooper added his usual 10 points Friday by putting the shot 51’ 5” and tossing the discus 157’ 9”. This discus throw was. his best distance of the year.

Royce Tate of the Ags kept up the pace by beating Baylor’s No. 3 man, Weis, to the tunq of 7-9, 6-1, and 6-1. Tate’s teammate Dick Hardin then added his point to the Aggie total by taking his singles match, 6-2, and 6-3.
