Freshman Baseball Candidates Report All candidates for the fresh man baseball squad should re port to the lecture room under the west side of Kyle Field, Thursday at 3 p. m., Wally Moon announced this morning. Freshman baseball practice will begin Friday at 3 p. m. Aggie Fencers Look Good In Meet Saturday Aggie fencers were in good form last Saturday afternoon when they carried away four of the six hon ors in the AFLA meet held in the MSC Ballroom. Novice Epee and Novice Sabre were the events on the bout sche r dulc, and A&M won second and third place in both events. A&M’s Lacy Breckenridge drop ped the first place position in k 5-3 fence-off with Campbell of Rice in the sabre match. Aden Magee .took third place honors for the Cadets. In the Epee match, Drake of Rice captured the number one hon ors while Bob Jones and Lacy Breckenridge took second and third respectively for A&M. Jerry Ramsey and Bill Huettel, both freshmen, showed promise of being Regular material next year. Ramsey and Huettel fought in the epee match. Bob Braslau, fighting in both sabre and epee, was the only other Aggie who entered the meet. have seven swimming duels under their belts and should be consid erably more seasoned than the Cadets who have had only one dual meet besides the SWC relays. First Year as Coach Coaching the Gators swimming squad is Jack Ryan, who is start ing his first year as head swim ming coach at Florida University. For the past two years, coach Ryan has been assistant swimming coach. In 1947, Ryan was on the Ohio Stete team that won the Big Teh Conference, the NCAA, and the National AAU indoor and outdoor meets, thus becoming the first team to capture those four in a single season. Freshmen are eligible in the Southeastern Coonference of which Florida University is a member and this gives coach Ryan a large squad with which to work. Florida has only five returning lettermen to form the backbone of the team which will face some of the finest swimming competition in the south. The five lettermen are Bobby Prevatt and Alan Wynroth, who are co-captains, Jerry Hartman, Gene Randall, and John Sandlin. 32 Man Squad Most of the 32 man Gator swim ming team is local talent with only three out of state swimmers In the group. Last year the Fighting Gators finished in second place in South eastern Conference. , Wynroth hails from Miami Beach and was the top varsity point scorer last season. He set two pool records against South Carolina last year in the 220 and 440 yard freestyle. A duel between A&M’s Adamson who won the 220 yard freestyle against SMU Saturday and Wyn roth seems to be in the offering. Adamson swam with a cold against the Mustangs and hasn’t been able to shake the cold germ so far this week, which may hin der him in the coming meets. Prevatt, Man To Beat Co-captain, Prevatt of the Ga tors is considered by most oppon ents as the man to beat. He took the triple crown in the SEC Cham pionships in the 1500 meters, 220 and 440 yard freestyle in both 1950 and 1951. It appears that Adamson will have two men to battle with when the Aggies and the Gators get to gether. The Fighting Gators seem to have plenty of 220 and 440 yard freestyle material as a third let- terman, John Sandlin, swims these two events and is a consistant placer behind Prevatt. In the diving department, Hart man is the only letterman. He accounted for 81 points in his sophomore year and is much im- pfoVed this season. A promising freshman is Ted Robinson, who swims the breast stroke and is one of the most pro mising swimmers to emerge from Florida high schools in the past two decades. He is the holder of the National High School breaststroke record for 100 yards which he set last year with a time of 1:01.5. Martin Dees will carry a good portion of the Gators backstroke load this year. He was high point man on last years undefeated freshman squad. After swimming against the Ga tors, the Farmers will travel to Tallahassee, Florida to meet the Florida State swimming team, on Tuesday, giving the Aggies little rest. Florida State Strong According to reports the Flor ida State squad is very strong, studded with many out of state boys and should give the Aggies a rough time. Most of the Cadet swimmers are in good shape, except for Adam son and Comstock, who have a cold and a leg injury respectively, Coach Adamson announced this morning. ‘THE LADY PAYS OFF DR. M. W.
