Prelims Today The preliminaries in the 100 yard dash,- 120 low hurdles and the shot put will be held this after noon on Kyle Field. The beginning time for the prelims today is 5 p. m. Records which now stand in the ’Murals track are: 100 yard dash, 10.0 seconds established in 1936 and equaled in 1946; 440 yard dash, 51.4 established in 1948; 880 relay, 1:34.4 established in 1950; 880 run, 2:04.2 established in 1948; 120 low hurdles, 14.0 sec onds established in 1941; 440 relay, 43.4 established in 1941; shot put, 48’ 3” established in 1948; high jump, 6’ 4%” established in 1941; broad jump, 22’ 1” established in 1949 and pole vault, 11’ 9” estab lished in 1949. The oddity of the records is that Glenn Lippman, who establish ed the broad jump record, finished second in the event yesterday. Graves, the winner, approached the record and missed establishing a new one by only two inches. Lipp man finished second in the event with his leap of 21’ 514”. Howard of Company 2, who won his heat of the freshmen 880 run, has broken the freshman record for the event in workouts but did not approach it in his time yester day. He still has a chance in the finals to break the long standing mark. Hooper vs Champ At Coliseum Parry O’Brien of Southern California has a 55’ 414” heave on the shot put this year. O’Brien is the best in the country according to statistics and he will meet Darrow Hoop er Friday in the Coliseum Re lays. Hooper has a 54’ 714” toss. Another entry, Clifton Ander son of Indiana has put the shot 54’ 114” and flipped the discus 166’ 494”. Can Bell Ring Bell As He Did In ’31TU Game Twice the surname Bell has been connected with Univer sity of Texas baseball defeats and subsequent Southwest Conference baseball champ ionships by A&M. An Aggie named Bell knocked home runs to beat the University of Texas here and win titles in 1931 and 1937; can a coach named Bell lead his Aggies through a similar finish this season? R. C. “Beau” Bell, captain and centerfielder on the 1931 Aggie baseball team, was the Bell who won the championship for the Cadets in 1931. He hit a home run with two on base. Beau’s brother, Woody, was up to bat in 1937. The Aggies and Longhorns were tied for the SWC lead and were playing the final game. The score was tied when Woody went to bat in the last half of the ninth inning. On the first pitch, Woody con nected for a home run and and another SWC title, the Aggies’ third in 21 years. Beau is back at Aggieland, but as a coach now. As baseball men tor he has developed his charges into a potent hitting and fielding nine. Blind Bogey To Be Held Do you know what a Blind Bog ey Golf Tournament is ? Well, Joe Stranhan Fagan doesn’t either, but he wants everyone to know about it just the same. Fagan, who spends his spare time between running a golf clinic and managing the A&M College Golf Course, is announcing that there will be a Blind Bogey Golf Tournament held at the A&M golf course Sunday, May 20th. This is a big deal—prizes will be given for the low gross winner, plus the winner and runner-up for low net in each flight. For explanation’s sake, a blind bogey tournament is one in which nine holes are chosen at random (five-holes on the front nine and four on the back nine). Each player is given a handicap based on twice the number of strokes over par he takes on the selected holes.

Hamilton will serve as battery mate to Bob Tankersley who will be on the mound in the second game with Texas tomorrow. By ED HOLDER Battalion Sports Staff The Aggie baseball team, grind ing its teeth and sharpening its teeth, takes Kyle Field this after noon at 3 to meet the loop-leading University of Texas Longhorns in the first contest of a two-game series to determine the Southwest Conference baseball crown. With a record of five wins and only one conference loss, Hubert will be looking for his sixth win and also one of the two wins over Texas which the Cadets need to tie that club. If the Ags lose one of the tilts, they will occupy second place in the SWC, but if they cop both games, they will emerge co-champs. In this case, a play-off would be necessary. The first game against the Steers this year, the Ags took a loss, 14-10. Their batting in that game was below what it has been in the last four games. Since the Baylor series, the Ag gies have knocked out 56 hits to bring in an average of 14 per- game. They have also netted an even 50 runs to make it a better than 12V4 runs-per-game. Carrying a conference record of nine wins and four losses, the Ags trail the Longhorns by two games. The Steers boast an 11-12 mark. Texas has chalked-up 114 runs during the season, and allowed their opposition only 39 tallies. The Cadets have scored a total of 99 runs and allowed 53 to be marked up against them. This will be Hubert’s second start against the Steers this year. He was knocked out of the box in the first contest along with Bob Tankersley, who was charged with the loss.

Hooper was undefeated in the 10 meets of the regular season in the discus and shot put, and Saturday he set a new Southwest Conference shot rec-< ord of 54’ 7 1 /4”. Hooper brought his season’s point total to a 100 when he took first in the discus with a toss of 162’ 8%”. Davis was the conference high jump with a leap of 6’ 6”, but his best was at the Texas Relays earlier in the season when he leaped 6’ 9”. This jump not only broke the Relays mark hut was within % ” of being the best in the country. Col. Frank Anderson, head track coach, will accompany the pair to California for the Fri day night meet. Jim Ehrler and Jimmy Hand of the Longhorns wound up in the same position as they too were knocked about in a game which saw more hitting than either of the teams had witnessed before in conference play. In the free-for-all hitting race, the Cadets totaled 10 hits for their 10 runs. Tankersley, A&M’s No. 2 pitch er, will be the probable starter for Friday’s game, and Ehrler and Hand of Texas will handle the Steers’ pitching chores today and Friday respectively. The batting order for Texas will be Ted Tate or Stuart Benson catching, Chile Bigham at first, Irving Waghalter on second, Frank Kana on third, Eddie Burrows at shortstop, Frank Womack in left field, Harry Bengston patrolling center and Cuss Hrncir in right. Erhler starts today’s game hut there is a possibility that Milt Deason or Luther Scarborough may move in to take over tomorrow’s pitching for the Steers. The Aggie line up will be the same as it was in the first game with A1 Ogletree catching for Hubert and Martin Hamilton re ceiving Tankersley. Bill Munnerlyn will he at first, Joe Ecrette at second, Henry “Yo gi” Candelari on third and team captain Guy Wallace handling short-stop. In the outfield will be Yale Lary covering left, John DeWitt out in center, and Shug McPherson in right field. Both clubs have almost the same teams which they fought it out with last year. Texas ended the 1950 season with a win-loss rec ord of 14-1 while the Cadets fin ished with 9 wins and 5 losses.
