Battalion S-ports Editor
A&M will seek its 14th con
secutive track victory in Houston
this week. A triangular meet be
tween Rice, Texas and A&M will
be repeated.
Last week the Aggies rolled up
101 points to stomp Texas, scor
ing 58 and Rice with 11. The Owls
were shut out in the Border Olym
pics.
Tfie Aggies captured 10 first
places, 11 seconds and scored in
every event except the 100 and 220-
yard sprints.
Cadets Favored
Because of their past perform
ances the Cadets will be favored
t6 win again. The outcome of this
week’s meet should not vary much
from last Saturday.
The Cadets, with talent and
depth in every event will be led
by their outstanding weight man
Harrow Hooper'.
Hooper is expected to continue
his unbeaten ways Saturday, he
threw the shot 53 ft. and tossed
the discus 149 ft. 8% in.
Added strength was gained when’
A&M’s Glenn Spradlin vaulted 13
ft. 7 in. in one of the outstanding
performances last Saturday.
The only upsets during the Rice-
Texas meet were within the Ag
gies themselves.
In a mild upset John Garmany
slipped by sophomore Jim Blaine
in the mile ram with a fine time
of 3:22.5. Garmany, a senior, was
the top A&M miler last season
but had been beaten repeatedly
this year by Blaine.
Another upset was J. A. Terry’s
[win over E. Wilmsen in the880
in the good "time of 1:56.9. !

again with the often played Ohio
State Buckeyes, coached by for
mer Aggie baseball and basket
ball coacb Marty Karow Thursday.
The northern squad will stay
at A&M for a three game series

year and also met the Aggies in
a post-season play-off for NCAA

with Aggies wiftning 3-2.
Karow’s crew will be facing
much the same lineup they saw
when the Aggies knocked the
Buckeyes out of the running in
the NCAA meet. . Back are men
like Lale Lary, A1 Ogletree, Hank
Candelari, Joe Ecrette, Bill Mun-
nerlyn and Bob Tankersley.
Rounding out the possible etart-
ing lineup for the Aggies will be
Charlie Russell and Carl Menger
with Lary in the outfield.
Ag Golfers
Prepare For
Rice Meet
Charlie Leissner, a sophomore,
seems to have the inside on the
shortstop post vacated when all-
NCAA, all-SWC Guy Wallace com
pleted his eligibility.
Leissner possibly will be joined
in the infield by Munnerlyn at
first, Ecrette at second, and team
captaint Candelari at third.
Either Ogletree or Martin Ham
ilton will get the startling nod
behind the mask.
Coach Bell will pick his start
ing pitchers from Helvin Work,
Tankersley, Ernie Johnson, and
possibly Louis Little.
Relief work will be handled
by Bill Stirling, James Cook, and
Sid Goodloe.
Karow Starters
Karow probably will start Ed
Bohnslav, Paul Williams and Dave
Bechtel in each of the games as
his pitcher. Their relief could come
from eight other moundsmen listed
on the Buckeye roster.
Behind the plate will be Jack
Gannon, junibr lettermen, wth re
lief coming in the form of Bill
Wisler, up from the B-squad.
Infielders probably will be Bill
Sachs at first base, Dave Leonhard
at second, Jack Jones at shortstop
witch Charles Brontlinger or Bob
Blanchard at third.
CORRECTION
An error was made on yester
day’s Sport page. A statement
was made saying that “Intra
mural Fight night would be held
Thursday,” but because of the
extra scheduled holidays, the an
nual fight night will be Wednes
day night, April 2, not Thursday
as originally scheduled.
