THE BATTALION

Battalion Sports Staff
Milner threw the non-military
softball league playoff into an
other game last night by sinking
Bizzell 4-2.
The game got under way with
the Bears first at bats. First three
men at the plate managed to make
outs. A1 Rollins and Frog Morris
both struck out while Dick Edgar
hit a fly deep into left-field where
it was scooped up by Joe Davis,
Tiger fielder.
Score 4 in First Frame
Milner got all four of their
runs in the bottom of the first.
Bizzell helped to beat themselves
by committing three errors in the
first inning. Tiger lead off man,
R. G. DeBerry, got on base when
Morris hobbled the ball. Ne^t Tiger
batter, Gene Long, got on'with a
one bagger and then Dan Pratt
made it to first when Dick Steig-
meyer fumbled the ball. Another
hit by the Tigers and another er
ror by the Bears gave the Tigers
their last two runs.
Boo Broussard led off for the
Don Graves Aids
Trackmen
^ 4 (amp
Victories by Aggies trackmen
are not confined to sponsored meets
or so it seems. Word from Fort
Eustis tells us that Aggie pole
vaulter Don Graves was partially
responsible for a recent win by
ROTC cadets at that Summer
camp.
The occasion was a recent track
meet held at Fort Eustis between
the Cadre of the 7th Regiment and
the Transportation Replacement
Training Center and the ROTC
Summer campers of 11 schools.
Graves took both the pole vault
and high jump events. His record
for the pole vault was not avail
able but he took the high jump
with a leap of 5-10.
Only other Southwesterner to
garner points was Don Barton of
Texas University football fame who
won the broad jump with a leap of
23 fcGt.
The ROTC units swamped the
cadre by totalling 124 points to 10
by the 7th Regiment and six by
the TRTC.

Bears in the top of the second and
got on with a walk. The next man
up, Mack Howell, hit a high fly
into left where Davis took it for
the out. Lueckemeyer, Tiger right
fielder, dropped Steigemeyer’s fly
to let him on base with an error.
Bob Hall then struck out after
waiting for the full count and Neil
Baxter did a repeat performance
by fanning the air three times to
retire the side.
Joe Davis batted first for the
Tigers in the bottom of the second
and hit a single. A pop-up into
short left field by DeBerry gave
the Tigers their fmst out. A walk
put Gene Long on base and he was
followed to the bag by Pratt who
hit a single into center. Baxtei’,
Bear center fielder, pegged the
ball into home plate and Howell
tagged Davis as he tried to come on
in home on the hit. Last out came
when Rob Cable hit a grounder
that was scooped by Pitcher Louie
Belinsky and lobbed to Edgar on
first.
Bizzell Hits Run Column
Bizzell picked up their first run
in the top of the fourth when
Howell scored from third after Hall
flew out to left field. A pitchex 1 , to
first play added another out for
Bizzell. Final out of the inning
came when Baxter hit a blooper to
left field and Davis stepped under
it.
Milner didn’t get a hit in the last
four innings of play and got only
one man on base. Wert Love got to
first in the bottom of the fifth on
a walk.
The Beai’s got their final run in
the fifth when A1 Rollins caught
Tiger Catcher Long asleep at the
switch and stole third and then
went on home on a wild throw to
thix-d.
Play Again Today
The final game in the sexies will
be played on the lighted diamond
at 5:30 this afternoon.
B Sqdn. took C Co. yesterday
afternoon in a freshman softball
game 8-7. C Co. started the game
by x-acking up three nxns in the
top of the first. Hits by Delee,
Chatam and Barchelt plus walks
for Reming and Alums boiled
down to the three runs.
One run was all that B Sqdn.
could eke out in the first. Bray got
on base with a walk and then came
on in home when Barrett sizzled
the ball for a one bagger.
B Sqdn. had themselves a ball
in the third as Ard, C Co. pitchex*,
seemed to lose his control com
pletely. B Sqdn. literally blasted
him out of the box as he walked

Hamilton and let Nederville get a
single. Hamilton was forced oh in
home when Ard walked the next
three men in a row. Rankin then
came up with a grand slam and
socked a four-base hit to sweep the
bases.
C Co. managed to gamer one ran
in the top of the foux-th but again
it was too little, too late. The
bright spot of the inning was a
double play going from Gonzales
to Rankin to Bi'ay.
Gonzales took credit for the win
and the loss was chalked up to
Ai’d.
A Sqdn. made it a clean sweep
for the Air Tx*oops by strafing
Application For
Tickets Must
Be In by July 21
The A&M Athletic Depart
ment has announced that
July 21 is the final date in
which football ticket appli
cations may be submitted for
the pxioxity gi-oups in seating at
Kyle Field.
Ticket applications received on
or before July 21 will be subject
to the depax’tment’s annual di'aw-
ixxg, scheduled July 30.
Main drawing attraction for
prospective ticket buyers is the
best Aggie home grid schedule in
yeax-s. The Aggies play host to the
University of Oklahoma on Kyle
Field for the first time in recent
years.
The Sooners eked out a 34-28 win
over a 1950 Cadet team which is
returning largely intact this sea
son. Conference football games will
be with one of the pre-season
favorites for the conference champ
ionship, Baylor; the high-scoring
SMU Mustangs and the University
of Texas.
Basing his predictions on at
tendance .at games with these rivals
in x-ecent yeax's, business manager
C. D. Ownby expects the games
with Oklahoma, Texas and SMU
to be sellouts. The highly touted
position of Baylor could cause the
Aggie-Bruin game to be a sellout,
too.
Grid fans xxxay submit ticket ap
plications for individual games or
for season tickets to ,all intex-col-
legiate sports at Aggieland. This
season ticket will provide admis
sion to nine basketball games, an
equal number of varsity baseball
games, track and swimming meets
and other spox't events.
Ticket applications submitted
after July 21 will be fulfilled on
a “first come-fix-st sexved” basis,
provided tickets are available,
Ownby said.

In ’51 ’52 Year
Nine and possibly 10 home games
are slated for the 1951-52 A&M
basketball season according to the
schedule released this morning by
the Athletic Department.
A Dec. 21 date at Longview is
in the making with some stx-ong
team from this area and if it is
not possible to match a game for
the 5,000 seat field house, it may
be moved to College Station, mak
ing the tenth game.
The schedule is as follows:
Hank Mills, manager of the Indians, sports a
wide grin, probably thinking how they ax-e going
to annihilate one of the other five teams in the
College Station Summer Softball League teams.
Others in the picture are back row, left to right,
M. L. Wilsoxx-, C. J. Gerard, J. P. Hitt, Mills and
L. S. Bird. Front row, 1. to r., A. W. Crain,
F. L. Fisher, Keith Hargrove and Barney Welch.
All-Stars Drop Ag Softballers
The Aggie softballers took
it on the chin Tuesday night
as the Madisonville All-Stars
administered a 4-1 licking be
hind the two-hit pitching of
B. J. Lloyd.
A&M’s only nxn came in the
second inning when clean up man
and first hitter of the inning, Red
Stribling caught hold of a one-one
pitch and blasted one out of the
park for a home x'un.
The homer put the Aggies in a
temporary one-ran lead but they
saw it fade in the bottom of the
second. With one out, doubles by
Byers, Gray, Crenshaw and Carter
and a walk to Goodrespn produced
three nxns to put the All-Stars
ahead and they stayed that way
the remainder of the contest.
Only other hit garnered by the
Aggies was in the top of the sev
enth when Bill Campbell singled
with one away but died on first
as Lloyd struck out Stribling and
Dick Lentzen to end the game.
All-Star second baseman Wake
field poled a four-master in the
fifth inning to account for the
other run in the contest.
Lloyd was almost invincible as
he let the Aggies down with but
two hits, walked none and struck
out 11.
