Dorm 16 Wins First
Mural Softball Tilt
Of Second Half
By TOM ROUNTREE
Battalion Sports Staff
Dorm 16 drew first blood in the
non-military softball tourney last
night when they defeated Walton
11-1 in five innings.
Walton was first in home and
got the game off to a flying start
when Walton lead-off man Lucas
hit a, three bagger. Coleman was
the next batter and permitted 16
Pitcher Pruett to throw three fat
ones over while he went down
swinging. A fielder’s choice got
Blackwell on the first bag and
was followed by Dick who got on
with a walk. Lucas was picked off
of third to give the Waltonites
their second out and then with
the bases loaded Mondshine popped
put to catcher.
Dorm 16 Breaks Ice
Evans led off for Dorm 16 and
took a free ride to first with a
Next batter, Groff, flew out
tcher and then Lentzen blast-
^^P'ut a triple to drive Evans on
in "for 16’s first run. Harris scored
after getting on with a walk and
the 1 final score for the inning was
Armstrong’s after he got on base
when he beat it out to first after
the catcher dropped the ball on
the third strike.
Walton’s one lonesome run was
made by Holloway in the top of
the second. Wilbanks got on base
with Walton’s second and last hit
of the game. The next man up
was Dawson who received four
balls to take a free trip. Holloway
got on with a fielder’s choice as
16 pulled a double play to sink
Wilbanks and Dgwson. Third out
of the inning came when Lucas
was forced out at second.
Two more of 16’s runs were gar
nered in the fourth with Lentzen
and Hovel crossing the plate for
the freshmen’s neighbors. Lentzen
made it to first on an error while
Hovel used his head and got on
when he was beaned with the ball.
Only other activity in the game
came in the bottom of the fifth
when 16 picked up their last five
runs. Walton pitcher Hollowly
beaned one and walked two to put
three of the runs on base. Harris
blasted the ball for three earned
bases and the only other man to
get on with a hit was McReynolds
who got a one bagger.
Winning pitcher was Pruett, and
Holloway was charged with the
loss.
Dorm 15 forfeited the only other
scheduled game to Bizzell.
Bizzell will definitely be a team
to keep your eye on this semester.
This was made apparant in an ex
hibition game with the teams
being made up of Bizzell
players and the few dorm 15 men
who showed up. Bizzell furnished
both pitchers and one of the pitch
ers, Gerretson, gave up four hits
while the other pitcher, Muery,
gave up only one hit in the game.
This gives Bizzell three or four
pitchers capable of carrying a
game.

34 in 45 Attempts
Revision Gives
Hooper PA T Title
By ANDY ANDERSON
Battalion Sports Editor
A revision of "Outstanding Plays
and’’ Performances by Southwest
Conference Football Players” has
given A&M football and track star
Darrow Hooper credit for the most
convqirsions in one season with 34.
The first edition of the statis
tics listed another Aggie, Jake
Webster, place kicking artist on
the 1941 championship team, as the
leader with 29. Since the first edi
tion, the records have added an
other man to share honors with
Webster—that in the form of Bill
Sullivan of the 1950 SMU team.
Gathered By SWC Exec. Sec’y.
These statistics were gathered
by the Southwest Conference Exe
cutive Secretary because of “the
interest shown in this type of in
formation, both by the members
of the press and the general pub
lic.”
A&M has had it’s share of out
standing performances’ and players
in the past according to the sta
tistics. In only three of the 11
categories covered have the Aggies
failed to produce a leader.
“Bruisin’ Bob” Smith ranks high
with his 75 yard run against SMU
in the 1950 classic at Dallas. The
longest touchdown run from scrim
mage was made 17 years ago by
Bohn Hillard of Texas while play
ing the Red Raiders of Texas Tech.
He galloped a cool 94 yards to
cross the double stripe.
Charley Royalty, in 1949 against
Villanova, scooted 93 yards to a
TD to rank in second place by a
scant two yard margin for men
who have run back punts for that
magical six points. His is the long
est .run. in relatively modern times
as the top performance of 95 yards
was made by Milton Evans, Baylor,
buck, in 1937.
99-Yard Interception Runback
Back in 1942, Cullen Rogers,
another Aggie, intercepted an Ar
kansas pass on the A&M one-yard
line and Vaced the remaining dis
tance to a touchdown, j This is the
record by four yards according to
the dope sheet.
Several men have had the honor
to- take a kickoff the entire dis
tance or more. The best an Aggie
has ever done is the 1927 per
formance of all-American Joel
Hunt against Arkansas. He grab
bed the pigskin on the three and
eluded the Porkers for six points.
Bob Goode, with his 90-yard scamp
er ’against Oklahoma ranks in the
top tern
The name Smith crops up again
t£e*n.

The
Exchange Store
“Serving Texas Aggies”
in this massive list and with a
massive and impressive figure in
the Leading Rusher column. Seems
A&M’s all-American has a fat 461
yard bulge over the next leading
contender—Byron Townsend of
Texas. Smith set this record last
season, same for Townsend.
Hunt Tops Scorers
Hunt tops all players who ever
performed in the SWC in the scor
ing department with his 128 points
scored during his 1927 season. The
modern record, if 1927 is considered
very long ago, is held by Doak
Walker with 88, set in 1948. Right
behirid Walker is that man Smith
agaijv with his 84 point total of
1950 when he tied with Townsend
for the scoring lead of the confer
ence.
In the Long Punt Department,
Devace Moser, chief punter on the
Aggies National championship
team of 1939, ranks up among the
best with a 70 yard boot (in the
air) against Baylor. It was made
during the 1939 season.
When it comes .to the punting
department, it seems that another
category should be set up and for
this r e a s o n—consistency. Stan
Hollmig and Yale Lary should top
this department. In 1947 against an
undefeated Baylor eleven, Hollmig
punted out-of-bounds within the
twelve yard line seven times with
one' of the boots going out on the
one-yard line.
Lary Rates “Oscar”
Lary should be given the equiv
alent of a Hollywood “Oscar” for
his outstanding kicking the past
two year’s. During the 1949 season,
he booted the bMl 71 times for
2840 yards—an exact 40.0 average
and last year, he averaged 39.7
yards on 57 punts. The amazing
part of this outstanding two-year
performance is the fact he has nev
er had a punt blocked and has
failed to get off only kick'—that
one because of a poor passback.
A&M failed to place men in the
leading passers, leading pass re
ceiver and field goal categories.
If you know of and are reason
ably sure that some outstanding
performance has been omitted
fr’om the records, please drop a
card to The Battalion and measures
will be taken to see the revision
is made.
Pancho Gonzales, two-time Na
tional amateur tennis champ and
1950 indoor pro ckiamp, started to
play tennis ten years ago with a
51 cent racket given to him by
his mother. He was 12 years old
at the time.

Ez Charles, Joe
Walcott Plan
Fall Rematch
Pittsburgh, July 19—UP)—
Jersey Joe Walcott, an amaz
ing old man of the ring who
wouldn’t be licked, today held
the W o r 1 d’s Heavyweight
Championship in an astounding
climax to an almost unbelievable
saga of the ring.
Today, plans were in motion for
a September return meeting be
tween the Brown Cinderella man
and the beaten champion, Ezzard
Charles, either in Pittsburgh, PhiJ-
adelphia, Atlantic City, or New
York. Pittsburgh, with a city rec
ord turnout of 28,272 for its first
heavyweight title show at Forbes
Field, looked the likely winner of
the fistic nlum.
At 37, Jersey Joe last night be
came the oldest man ever to win
boxing’s most prized bauble when
he flattened the superbly condit
ioned Charles in 55 seconds of the
seventh round of their 15-round
bout. A left hook to the jaw sent
Charles to the canvas.
It was the ancient Camden bat
tler’s fifth crack at the champion
ship—two more chances than any
other challenger ever got at the
heavyweight crown—and the de
vout father of six said, “I thank
God for the chance and for helping
me to win.
“I’m thankful to everyone,” said
Walcott who had twice seen the
crown slip out of his eager fin
gers. “Fin going to be a fighting
champion—and Charles will get
his chance.

Ags Take 4-1 Win Over
College View All-Stars
N Bryan Beard’s bid for a no-hitter was spoiled in the sev
enth inning last night as the Aggies took the measure of
the College View All-Stars 4-1, their second win over this
group.
Beard had the All-Stars eating out of his hand until
the top of the seventh when Dixon, All-Star left fielder lined
a drive to Beard’s left which he put a glove on but was un
able to play as the ball scooted on toward second. Dixon beat
out A1 Rollins throw to first by a lash for the only hit of the
game.
The College Viewers scored their only run in the fifth
as the Aggies committed two miscues and allowed McCurdy,
College View centerfielder, to cross the plate.
Rollins started off the Aggie half of the first with a
•fsingle, Jewell McDowell, Aggie
shortstop, fifed out and Mack
Howell, catcher, advanced Rollins
to third base on a single. Beard
drew a walk to load the bases.
Two passed balls in succession
allowed Rollins and Howell to
score before first baseman Camp
bell flied out to end the inning.
Buddy Davis, leftfielder for the
Aggies, reached first base on an
error in the second frame, went
to third on Rollins’ second single
and scored on another passed ball.
Van Adamson
Resting against the railing on
the ladder at Downs Natatorium,
Adamson, who will swim in the
Individual Medley at the Texas
Amateur Athletic Federation
swimming meeting in, Tyler this
weekend, will be favored in the
event.
Tigers, Bucs Take
Wins in CS League
In the first games of the second
half of the College Station Summer
Softball League, the Tigers mauled
the Indians 18-6 while the Pirates
tripped the Giants 6-3.
Barney Welch was the loser of
the Bengal-Tribe fracas with co
manager Newt Williamson gaining
credit for the victory. The game
was marred by frequent errors by
the Tigers.
Manager K. A. Manning sent
Homer Adams to the hill to face
Sarg White of the Giants and he
came through with a win. This
gives the Pirates the edge on the
new season and starts them off on
a bid for a repeat of the title they
won the first half.
Luke Easter, first baseman for
the Cleveland Indians, has been in
jured three times this spring.
Davis on Again
Davis led off the Aggie half of
the fifth by reaching base via an
error, stole second and third bases
and eventually crossed the plate on
a passed ball.
Tonight at 8:15, the Aggies will
face the Nedbalek Service Station
team of Bryan at the lighted dia
mond. The same pitchers will go
against each other with Winder-
starting for Nedbalek’s and Beard
going for the Ags. Nedbaleks took
the measure of the Ags earlier this
year on a 6-0, no-hit win.
