Texas University and a surprisingly strong Oklahoma A&M team tied for second with 40 points. SMU was fourth with 18 followed by Houston and LSU, seven, and TCU, one. ■ < Rice and Baylor failed to score a point which shows Rice’s complete void in sports other than football and bas ketball. Rice is usually the conference number 3 team. Led by record smasher and high point man Darrow Hooper, with 10 points, A&M took five first and host of other places being shut out in only the 100 and 220. Hooper broke his own record in the shot pushing the iron ball 53 ft. 8 5/8 in. to better his 51 ft 8 1/2 in of last He also won the discus with-* Whites Clip Maroons, 27-13 For First Intersquad Win Aggie weight man, Darrow Hooper was high point man of the Border Olympics with his double win, the shot put and the discus. He broke last year’s shot record with a 53 ft. 8 5/8 heave and tossed the discus 156 ft. 1114 in year. a 156 ft. 11% in. tos^., Ace Aggie broad jumper Bobby Ragsdale tied the old record in winning the event with 23 ft 6% in. He was followed by Bill Henry also of A&M. Favorite Event In the Farmer’s favorite event, the 440 dash, Bob Mays, Jim Bak er and John DeWitt, all of A&M, finished in that order to rack up the top three places and 10 points. Mays won in 49.5 seconds. Jerry Steel teamed with the above three boys to take the only other Aggie first, the exciting mile relay. Bak er came from behind on the stretch to beat Oklahoma A&M in 3:22.9. DeWitt gave Baker a five yard lead. Oklahoma A&M looked strong as expected in the distant events win ning the 880, mile 2-mile beside the high jump and pole vault in upset wins. Oklahoma Bill Heard won the 880 in 1:56.7, closely followed by J. A. Terry of A&M. Norwegian Fred Eckroff, a fx-eshman at the Oklahoma school, won the mile in 4:20.4. Jim Blaine of A&M was a close second. In the 2-mile run it was Hefnie Geller, Oklahoma A&M, as the winner with Aggie Charles Hud gins making a race of it that fin ished in 9:43. Jerry Perry was the upset win ner in the pole vault for Okla homa A&M at 13 ft. 6 in. and Roscoe Vrooman won the high jump with a mediocre 6 ft. 4 in. TU supplied the stars in the short races with Dean Smith far out ahead of the field with 9.5- 100 yard dash and Charley Thomas blazing to a 21-220 win. They teamed with Red Mayes and Jim Brounhill to set a new 440 relay mark of 41.9. (See OLYMPICS, Page 4) By BOB SELLECK Battalion Sports Editor Saturday afternoon on Kyle Field the Aggies displayed the first edition of their 1952 football team. It was the first indication of what could be expected from the Cadets next fall. Head football coach Ray George divided his entire 80-man squad into two teams of equal strength. The game was just regular foot ball in the first half except the quarters were 45 minutes long. The full scale scrimmage start ed at 2:30; howevex*, the first half didn’t end until 4 p. m. Whites 27, Maroons 13 The Whites, sparked by quar- terback Ray Graves and running backs, Raymond Haas, Connie Ma- gourik, and Howard Zuch defeat ed the Maroons 27-13. Highlight of the sunny after noon battle was the sparkling play of Maroon quarterback Don Ellis, who displayed a sharp ball hand ling technique and kept the White lineman guessing most of the time. Numerous times Ellis was caught behind the line of scrim mage with no one to pass to but always managed to evade being trapped for a loss. The ex-LSU star was the first to score in the initial half which saw three quarterbacks doing all the scoring. White quarterback Ray Graves pulled a one-yard sneaker to tie up the score 6-6. Both squads missed their try for extra point. Roy Dollar, another White quar terback and Graves added 12 more (See WHITES, Page 4) The ZARAPE Restaurant (Formerly The Flamingo Lounge) WILL BE OPEN EVERY DAY EXCEPT MONDAY To serve you . . .

The Cadets went down before the Comets 11-2 and 4-2. Three big innings Friday gave the Comets their first victory over A&M, and Bob Tankei’sley, the los ing pitcher. Poor fielding by the Aggie out field and mixups on covering bases in the infield aided greatly in the Comets six-run uprising in the third inning. Bob Tankei’sley went three in nings for the Aggies, but was i’e- lieved in the fourth by fast bailer Ernie Johnson. Tankersley had trouble keeping the ball away from the big bats of Dick Kokos and Ken Staples and other Comet bat ters. Johnson Relieves Tankersley After Johnson’s first inning in the game, he settled down but not until BAMC collected three runs and three hits. The Cadets got three hits to the Medics’ 11. Britt, Russell and Hunt got the blows for the Farm ers. Mickens, ex-Ft. Worth pitch er, kept the ball out of the Cadets’ reach all afternoon. The Farmer’s went runless and only collected one hit until the ninth inning, and then collected tw r o runs on two hits, and tw r o walks. Hunt’s hit came with the (See BAMC, Page 4) By JIM ASHLOCK . Battalion Sports Writer Scoring nine runs on eight hits, A&M’s Freshmen baseballers took an easy 9-5 victory in their season opener against Blinn Junior Col lege here Friday. Fish coach Wally Moon used sub stitutes freely as the Freshmen piled up a 9-0 lead in the first eight innings of play. Freshman Joe Hardgrove, pitch ing the fourth, fifth, and sixth inn ings, was the outstanding mound performer of the afternoon. A left hander from Ft. Worth, Hard grove struck out four of the nine men he faced and assisted in. .an other put-out. Nelson’s Pitching Sharp Another Fish hurler who turned in an impressive performance was Jerry Nelson, who led off the first three innings on the rubber. Nel son sent 3 of 13 batters down swinging and did not give up a single hit during his three innings work. The Freshmen took to the field first and quickly ousted Blinn from the dugout on a strikeout, a fly- ball, and a putout at first. Taking over at the plate the Fish smashed out four runs to take the lead and stay in front the rest of the way. Scoring the first period runs were Jim Par- x’ish, Claude Northrop, Sam Ablon, and Sam Rowland. Single hits by Rowland and Hugh Byrd were the tools lead. used to build the four run Blinn Held Runless Blinn was held runless until the top of the eighth. Their first scoi’e came as a x’esult of two consecutive errors in the Fish infield, the first of which allowed the JC player to get on base and the second allow ed him to score. Blinn staged their weak rally in the first half of the. nineth when they gained four of their five runs off Tex Vanzura, third pitcher to see action for the Freshmen. Three pitchers were used by Blinn, but only six of the Fish were marked with strikeouts. Aggie Swimmers Down NW of Louisiana, 53-31 A 53-31 win by A&M’s swim ming team gave them their second victory of the year over Norwest- ern of Louisiana. Noi’thwestern fell before the Aggies earlier in the season in Louisiana.
