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.

... is one of nine good reasons why the Aggies have a better-than-
even chance to whip the Texas Longhorns two games, today and
tomorrow on Kyle Field and tie for the Southwest Conference base
ball title. 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, Davis
To Coliseum
Two Aggie track stars, soph
omore weight ace Darrow Hoop
er and high jumper Buddy
Davis, will leave tomorrow by
plane to accept an invitation to
the gigantic Coliseum Relays
in Los Angeles.
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.
