THE BATTALION

Cadet Nine to Fly
To NCAA Tourney
Eighteen members of the Texas
Aggie baseball team, District 6
NCAA champions, and Coach Beau
Bell and manager Ted Mohle leave
by chartered plane Tuesday morn-
■ ing at 8 for the College World
Series in Ohamo, Neb.
By virtue of beating the Univer
sity of Texas the best two out of
three regular season games and
defeating the University of Ari
zona by the same method, the Ag
gies go into the NCAA finals for
the first time in their history.
Their first opponent will be Spring-
field, the District 1 NCAA champ
ion.
The game, which is No. 4 in the
14 game series, will be played at
Omaha Municipal Stadium begin
ning at 8:30 p. m. Wednesday.
The champion and runnerup will be
determined probably in the four
teenth game played Sunday even
ing.
A&M’s must win a minimum of
four straight games to take the
championship. Since each entry
must lose twice before being eli
minated, the Cadets can lose their
first game and then drop into
the “lower bracket” and work
themselves up to meet the winner
of the “upper bracket” games.
The Farmers will be led in the
grinding series by four all Dis-

Graves will also be entered in the hop-skip-and-jump.
Col. Frank Anderson

Locke Fires 68
To Grab Lead
New Rochelle, N.Y., June 8
—(iP)—It was just as though
Bobby Locke had never been
away as the jowled South Af
rican clicked off a methodical
68 yesterday to grab the lead at
the 18-hole mark in the Palm
Beach Round Robin Tournament.
Bobby’s 35-33-68 was four under
par for the 6,569-yard layout. It
gave him a “plus” score of 16, four
better than that of his closest pur
suers, Chick Harbert and Roberto
De Vicenzo.
Jim Ferrier, like Locke, made it
around in 68, but he stood no bet
ter than fourth tonight at plus 11,
because this tournament is not
played under any rules recognized
by the Royal and Ancient.
Locke, by the luck of draw,
found Chandler Harper, the cur
rent American PGA champion,
playing in his foursome Chand
ler had a horrible day. He shot
a whopping 41-39-80, and on him
alone, the South African picked up
12 of his plus points. Harper stood
at minus 32 as play began today.
.Tied with Lloyd Mangrum at
plus 4 were Fred Haas Jr., of New
Orleans, who had a 70; Ed Oliver,
also a 70 and Jimmy DeMaret, 71.
Pull Triple-Play
Giants Trounce Cubs 9-8
In Little League Contest
The first triple-play of the young
season featured yesterday’s game
between the Marion Pugh Lum
ber Co. Cubs and the Conway and
Co. Giants in' Little League play.
’The Giants eked out a 9-8 win
from the Cubs when in the fifth
inning, hits by Dyal and Giesi and
a Cub error brought in three runs
to break a 6-6 tie.
Poor base running on the part
of Cub players was responsible
for the triple-play. In the third
inning, with men on second and
third base as a result of base hits,
Crawford caught a fly in center
field, fired to the plate to catch
the runner attempting to score
from third and Willman rifled a
throw to third to catch the runner
advancing from second.
The Cubs made a strong bid to

meet that is drawing stars from

also enter the hop-skip-and-jump,
something that is not offered as
part of the SWC track order.
Darrow Hooper
... is naturally, favored to cop
the shot and discus at the AAU
meet. He’ll probably set a new
record. If not, he’ll come close.

Another double winner, Stalter
will compete in the 100 and 200
meter dashes. Teaming with Stalter

New York, June 8—(A*)— The
crisis in college ranks caused by
Pennsylvania’s defiance of the Na
tional Collegiate Athletic Associa
tion’s football television ban deep
ened with indications that Army
and Notre Dame may join Penn
in allowing telecasts.
Notre Dame, the school now con
sidered the key to the situation,
probably will decide to televise its
home games, it was said. It has
done so for two years.
Col. Orrin C. Krueger, graduate
manager of athletics for Army,
said Army may put its own games
on the air “if everything breaks
wide open.”
NCAA Dealt Blow
With such gridiron behemoths
as Penn, Army and Notre Dame
making their games available to
television—and assuming their op
ponents do not refuse to play—■
the whole NCAA structure will be
dealt a powerful blow.
The NCAA acted quickly to put
down the uprising by declaring
Penn “a member not in good stand
ing.”
No Effect on Penn Athletes
At Philadelphia a spokesman for
Penn said the ruling actually will
have small effect on the University

Penn’s TV Policy
Won’t Affect SWC
Dallas, June 8 —CP)—The South
west Conference’s television plans
will not be affected by any decision
made by other schools, Executive
Secretary Howard Grubbs said yes
terday.
He was asked if Penn’s decision
to go ahead and televise its foot
ball games in defiance of the NC
AA would have any bearing on
the Southwest Conference’s plans.
“The conference adopted the
same plan as last year,” Grubbs
said, “of televising only sell-out
games.”
Under the NCAA plan, each
school would be allowed to tele
vise one home game, regardless
of whether it was a sellout.
AMERICAN LEAGUE
because its athletes were not ex
pected to figure prominently in the
NCAA events this month.
Prof. Hugh C. Willett of the
University of Southern California,
NCAA president and Kenneth L.
L. (Tug) Wilson, Western Confer
ence commissioner of athletics,
who made the Penn announcement
jointly, added that the 17-man
policy making council of the NC
AA would move to terminate
Penn’s membership in January.
A member not in good standing
may not take part in any National
event sponsored by the NCAA.
Of Penn’s 1951 opponents, all
members of the NCAA and all
supposedly bound by regulation
not to play football games if tele
vised, only Columbia has indicated
it might balk at playing before
Franklin Field’s cameras.
pull the game out of the fire in
the bottom of the fifth. After the
Giants had gone ahead 9-6 and
with Hickerson on first via a
‘ single, Stuart Helivey blasted a
terrific home run, far over the
left field fence, to drive in two
runs and raise the score to 9-8
where it finally ended.
Protested Play
The Giants drew first blood with
two runs in the first inning and
two each in the second and tbjpd.
In the first inning for the Giants,
with Bravenic on third and Willman
on first, Couger doubled but the
umpire ruled that Willman had
left first base before the ball
reached the batter which is con
trary to Little League rules.
The umpire permitted Bravenic
to score, Willman to move to third
and Couger to advance to second.
Both teams filed protests on this
decision and if either protest is
allowed, it may be necerrary to re
play the game from that point.
The Cubs tallied six runs in the
second inning, bunching six bases
on balls in combination with hits
by Martinez and Hickerson to pro
duce the six runs.
Softball League
Opens Season
Today at 5:45
This afternoon at 5:45, the
first two games of the College
Station Softball League will
be unreeled.
One game will pit K. A.
Manning’s Pirates against the

lege Hills diamond, located on
Puryear between Walton and
Francis streets.
The other game, which will be
played on the College Park dia
mond on Park Place at the end of
the Fairview, will match the
Giants, against the Cubs.
Les Richardson is in charge of

lar pilot, Lucian Morgan and the
Cubs are headed by Aden Magee,
Jr.
Hensel has named Thomas King
as his, starting hurler. He will be
opposed by Homer Adams.
The Cubs pitcher will be Thomas
Wade and the Giants moundsman
will be Curtis Gray.
Arbiters for the contests have
not been named as yet but umpire-
in-chief Joe Correls will have a
wide number of choices as 13 men
have been named to act as “Blind
Toms” for the summer league.
Among those “robbers” are such
stalwarts as O. M. Holt, O. F.

Hays, Clinton Walker, H. A. Luth
er, R. L. Hunt, Gordon Gay, “Jer
sey Joe” Woolket, Charles Leigh

These teams may not rival any
major league organizatiion but all
managers have assured they will
field as strong a team as possible.
