Golf team will play host to the SMU Mustangs tomorrow ^ afternoon at 1 on the A&M Golf ajCourse. The Aggies, who have all but cinched the No. 3 spot in South west golf, cannot knock the Ponies out of second position, but they can either hand the title to the first , place Longhorns or keep SMU in that No. 2 position. If the Aggies should score more than one and one-half points on the Mustangs tomorrow, the title will automatically 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 point win to SMU would put the Red and Blue in a first place tie with the Steers. The SWC meet, which starts Friday morning on the A&M Golf Course, will be staged to de termine the Individual Golf Cham pion. At 8 a.m. at least 25 as- * pirants will tee off on the first round of 18 holes. The tournament will be 72 holes of medal play, 36 holes on Fri day and 36 holes on Saturday. Luke Harrison, instructor in Physical Education Department, will serve as the tournament’s dir ector. A release from the Office of the Executive Secretary of the South west Conference stated that “each member school may be represented by not more than six players.” il Opportunity Unlimited...

George Martin, airmen hurler, was touched for three runs by the Infantry hitters in the first frame but he' strengthened after the shaky start and shutout the In fantry ball club the remaining five innings. Wert Love started for E Infan try and| seemed peerless throughout the first five rounds of play but wildness in the sixth was his downfall. Martin opened the fatal frame by walking, Tom Spadachene was alsft walked by Love putting two men on the basepaths. Bob Far row, Air Force second baseman, popped out, but K. D. Hallmark walked to load the bases. L. M. Kaplan lashed a single deep to ceriter field to send Martin and Spadachene romping across the horneplate and racking up the first two tallies of the afternoon for G AF. Donny Joseph followed Kaplan and was issued a free pass to once again jam the sacks. This time Jack Bryant lined a single off Love’s hurling to drive in the two inning runs.

Big ‘If’ Can Do Or Don 7 For Ag Nine With a single victory over SMU and a twin killing at the expense of Baylor, the Aggie baseball teain is a almost solid bet for second place in the Southwest Conference standings and even has an outside chance for first. A&M with a record of 7-wins- and-4-losses, plays Rice a doub le bill this weekend at Houston and then meets Texas, who has a record of 9-and-l, the follow ing weekend bn Kyle Field. IF the Steers should lose one of the games to SMU or the sirigle contest to TCU, and THEN lose a two-game sei’ies to the Aggies, A&M could tie the Longhorns for first—IF the Ag.s take Rice twice first.
