Foldberg, an Aggie-Ex, was a two-year All-American at the United States Military Academy at •West Point. McMurty was guard apd captain of the 1950 Southern California Trojans. * With the addition of these two young, but fine coaches, Head Football Ray George can at least rest from the weeks of travel de voted to this cause. The other coaches are Gil Steinke, backfield coach, Dalton Fairchild, assistant backfield and “B” team coach and Klepto Holmes, freshman mentor After playing end for the Aggies in 1941-42, Foldberg entered the West Point Academy and won All- American honors at the wing pos ition in 1945 and 1946. He played basketball and LaCrosse and was an All-American LaCrosse player in 1947. Pro-Baller In 1948 Foldberg, a native Texan from Dallas, played professional football with the Brooklyn Dodgers and then moved to the Chicago Hornets for another year of pro ball in 1949.

Purdue University, a member of the Big 10 football powers, signed Foldberg as wing instructor for the remainder of the Spring drills in ’49 and he was given full time stat us in January of 1950. He has been at Purdue as offensive line and end coach until A&M was for tunate enough to sign him. Familiar Grounds McMurty was graduated from the University of Southern Califor nia in February, 1951, after letter ing as guard for the Trojans three years. The 31-year-old Navy vet eran was team captain last season and blocked the punt which gave the Trojan’s a 9-to-6 win over mighty Notre Dame. McMurty was named All-Pacific Coast Conference last year. He went from Rio Hondo High School into the Navy and served eight years. Soon after he enrolled in Long Beach (Calif.) Junior Col lege and entered Southern Califor nia the next year. When asked if he thought Mc Murty had coached anywhere pre viously, George replied that he did n’t “know if he had.” George also told of how highly the young men tor was thought of by his former coaches. “We coaches at Southern Cali fornia said we’d hire Paul as a line coach if we ever became head coach somewhere, George said. “Well, I’m the first one to get the head job and I’m getting Paul. Both McMurty and Foldberg are married and each has one child.

Fish Wind Up Season With Win Over Rice By CHARLES NEIGHBORS Battalion Staff Writer In their final appearance of the 1951 season, the Aggie Fish beat the Rice Owlets in a slashing finish, 10-4, on Kyle Field, Friday afternoon. Mel Work, cadet pitcher, struck out ten of the 36 Rice players who came to the plate against him in the first seven innings Work was relieved by Lou Little in the eighth. Trailing The Fish were behind 4-0 until their half of the seventh, then, catcher Jerry Robinett walked, cen ter-fielder Ernie Lawrence singled Robinett to second.. Stephens, pinch-hitting for Work drew a walk and Roy Marin struck out. Roscoe Hunt, then hit a single to center to score Robinett and Law rence and put Stephens on third. Charlie Leissner then singled in to right to score Stephens and ad vance Hunt to third. Hunt, stealing home from third, caused the Owlet catcher to lose the ball, and Leissner scored on the error. Schero struck out and Smith grounded to second to complete the fireworks. In the Aggie eighth, Selman walked, stole second and was pick ed off on third; Robinett, who al so 1’eceived a walk, went to second •orr-a passedHball. The Scoring: Lawrence walked as did pitcher Little, Marin singled to left and on an error by the left fielder, Rob inett and Lawrence scored. Little went to second on the play. Hunt drew a base-on-balls and went to second on a balk by Rice pitcher Rentz. Leissner flied out to the left fjelder, whose bad throw allowed Marin to score. Schero then singled to left field, Smith walked, Selman walked again and Robinett popped up for the third out. • FISH ab r h Marin, If 4 11 Hunt, 2b 4 2 2 Leissner, ss 3 11 Schero, 3b 5 0 2 Smith, rf 3 0 1 Selman, lb 3 0 0 Robinett, c 3 2 0 Lawrence, cf 2 2 1 Work, p 2 0 0 x—Stephens 0 10 Little, p, (8th inning).... 0 10 Totals 29 10 8 Bullen, If 2 1 1 Reckling, 3b 4 11 Feustemaker, cf (went to 2nd base in eighth) 3 11 Marsters, ss 5 0 1 Taylor, c ' 3 0 0 Moore, lb 2 0 0 Rentz, 2b (pitched in eighth) 4 0 0 Schroeder, rf 4 0 0 Wylie, p (went to center in eighth- 3 0 0 Totals 30 4 4 LAST TIMES TODAY “West Point Story .55 TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY Aid Rule Revised; Easley ‘Punished’ The faculty committee of the Southwest Conference Saturady re vised its rule on financial aid to athletes by eliminating any pre tense of the athlete working for his keep. The rule has been that an ath lete had a definite assignment of work although no school was re quired to make him work more than the time he might have away from his studies and athletic par ticipation. This was the point on which the conference differed with the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s now defunct sanity code. The conference had previously declared that a boy participating in athletics did not have time to work. Now a boy can have his board, room, tuition, institutional fees and $10 per month for incidental ex penses such as laundry and it is up to the individual school if he is required to work for it. He can not, however, receive any more than that specified under any cir cumstances. The committee also put teeth into its rule on athletic recruiting by inserting a definite penalty. In other words it now is a rule in. stead of a policy. This rule, the same as the NCAA’s, says a school can not pay the expenses of an athlete in visiting its campus but that an alumnus or friends of the athlete outside the school can do so. It also prohibits “tryouts” by athletes at member schools. For the first time in history, a member school was penalized under the “excessive entertainment rule.” The committee ruled that Robert Easley, John Reagan (Houston) high school athlete, would not be permitted to participate his fresh man year and would have only two varsity years at Baylor University in the event he goes to the school. This was because a Baylor alumnus had paid his expenses from Hous ton to Dallas to see a professional football game last summer. The alumnus was not narqed and conference officials said they did not think Baylor even knew about it or that the athlete, and possibly the alumnus, knew a rule was be ing violated. It was explained that an alumnus could pay a boy’s ex penses to his school for an athletic contest but not to some other school or city. The only outside aid an athlete may receive is from his parents, guardian or any other person upon whom he independent for support. Penalty for violation of these rules is: First violation, a public reprimand of the guilty institution; second violation, a penalty of some sort which could be as severe as suspension of the school from the conference. The athlete himself will lose his first year of eligibility at the school if he is a freshman and also the loss of one year of varsity eligibility. Others would lose one varsity year. The committee decided against making freshmen eligible for var sity competition by suspending ac tion until a mail vote seems in order. Four schools voted for the resolution to suspend, two against and one did not vote. Five votes were required to make freshmen Aggies, Steers Set For Decisive Series The Southwest Conference base ball championship will either be wrapped up by Texas this week or will end in a tie between Texas and A&M. Two games are left on the sche dule and they are between these two arch-rivals. If Texas wins one of them it is champion. If A&M wins both of them it will deadlock Texas. Last week Texas lost its sec ond SWC game of the season, fall ing to Texas Christian 4-3. The Longhorns whipped SMU twice but A&M also licked Rice twice to stay in the running. Texas and A&M get together at College Station Thursday and Fri day. TCU, by winning three games last week, clinched third place in the final standings. Conference Standings Team W L R OR PCT.

Fears that athletes would favor other conferences which have voted freshmen eligi bility were discontinued. The same policy as last year on televising football games was vot ed. This policy was that only those games where there were sell outs would be televised. This is not the same rule as promulgated by the NCAA, which provides that each school can televise one home game and one away, but the NCAA has specified that special dispen- (See TV, Page 4) Ags Blast Rice Twice; Title Still In Doubt By FRED WALKER Battalion Sports Editor The Aggie baseball team kept their Southwest Conference pen nant hopes alive last weekend as they smothered the Rice Owls un der a two-game barrage of 29 runs, 13-to-2 and 16-to-9. Making absolutely certain that his teammates didn’t drop from the Conference scramble in the first contest, righthander Pat Hubert rolled up his fifth win of the sea son by limiting the Hitless Hooters to only five hits. In the second inning of that game, A&M scored five runs on five hits, including triples by short stop Joe Ecrette and third sacker Henry Candelari. Every one of the Aggies got a base hit in that first contest except substitute shortstop James Dishman who had only one time at bat. Ecrette was the big gun for the Cadets as he picked up two triples and a sin gle and batted in four runs in five official trips. Ag captain Guy Wallace was an other bat leader with three for five, including three RBI’s and three runs scored. A1 Ogletree, Candelari and Yale Lary all had two hits. Ogletree had a double and Candelari a triple and two RBI’s. Other runs-batted-in were by Bill Munnerlyn and Ogletree. Hubert walked seven and struck out three in his nine-inning go- around. The totals for the game were 17 hits, 13 runs and three errors for Best Yet Imp A&M, and, two, five and four for the Owls. The Aggies pounded out 16 hits and 16 runs in the second game while the Owls picked up the not- enough twelve for nine. A&M’s big inning was the third when they scored eight times. Another was tallied in the fifth, three in the sixth, two in the seventh and two more in the ninth. Trailing by 10 runs in their half of the ninth, the Owls started to rally, but relief pitcher Bob Tan- kersley bore down and nipped the uprising at three runs. Wallace poked out four for six, scored twice and had two batted in for the Aggies while Lary had a single and a homer in five trips to score thrice and knock in four. Ecrette, Munnerlyn, Candelari and Blanton Taylor collected two hits apiece and other runs batted in were by Ecrette, Munnerlyn 3, Taylor, John DeWitt 2, Parker 2, Tankersley and Candelari. Wallace and Taylor all socked two-timers for the victors. Taylor started on the mound for the Aggies and was relieved in the fourth by Tankersley.

CS Softball Starting Soon All male residents of College Station, between the ages of 15 and inactivity, are urged to sign up for the Recreational Softball League whose games will begin June 8th. Sponsored by the College Station Recreation Council, the league will be organized and run very simil arly to last year’s organization. It is hoped by the Council that enough players will sign to make up six squads of 12 men each. The only qualification is that each man be a resident of College Station, but A&M dormitory students will be excluded. The Recreation Council has as signed the responsibility for or- g a n i z i n g the league to Dr. George E. Pptter of the Biology Department, and he requests that those who wish to sign up to turn in their names, residence address, business address and telephone numbers to him at 4-8619 or 4-5664. Six men have agreed to .serve as team managers and if Dr Pot ter cannot be reached, or it is more convenient to call one of the man agers, do so. They are Hank Mills, Andy Salis, Norman Anderson, Bil ly Hensel, Aden Magee and Lucian Morgan. Dr. Potter has also asked for honest, aggressive, agile, punctual men, who have acute vision and brazen conscience, to serv as um pires.” “We also need four precise and dependable official scorekeepers,” he added. ft! “ 0 !j,w E , ss 0 yett s»
