Cadets Limited to Three Hits\^^ As Rears Score 8-0 Shutout The light-hitting Aggies were blanked 8-0 by the Baylor Bears yesterady afternoon on the Kyle Field diamond for their second conference loss. Head Coach Beau Bell Juggled his line-up freely in a desperate effort to locate bat power, but Baylor’s Isenberg gave up only three hits while going the full nine innings. Jerry Nelson started for A&M and gave up two runs on two hits in the first inning. After Baylor loaded the bases with a walk and two' singles, Nelson’s wild pitch let two runners cross the plate. In the second inning, a walk, fol lowed by a single to center which Tex Farmer let get through him, was responsible for the third Bear BAYLOR (8) Davis, ss Willoughby, cf . . . . Newton, 2b Baylor combined a walk, a base MUesT^ib^ on a wild pitch, and a single to chalk up run number four. Work took the mound for the Aggies in the fourth, and in four innings gave up two runs on one hit. His fine pitching performance was marred by four Aggie errors. Hardgrove finished for the Cadets and allowed 2 hits and two runs, but an error, followed by a walk and a sacrifice, put the run ners in position to score on Will oughby’s sharp single to right. The Aggies will be in San An tonio today tomorrow for a two game series with the Brooke Army Medical Center.

Two records may fall in the duel meet and a third is possible. If the Longhorn 440 yard relay can equal the time it posted in the Texas Re lays last weekend, they will set a new record in this event. The record is 41.9 seconds, and last week the steers ran the distance in 41.7 seconds, two tenths better than the record which they set last year. Darrow Hooper should set a new record in the shot put. Last year he set a new record of 53 feet, eight and % inches. This year he has not gone below 54 feet. Last week in the Texas Relays, he set a new record with a heave of 56 feet two and % inches. TODAI The 100 yard dash time made by Dean Smith of Texas last year could be beaten by his teammate, Charley Thomas. Thomas has run the 100 in 9.5 seconds, two tenths better than Smith’s time last year. The high jump record of six feet seven and % inches, set by the Aggies’ Walt “Buddy” Davis last year is in no danger, since neither an Aggie or Longhorn jumper has (See TRACK MEET, Page 5) DON’T COTS FUSE THE ISSUE Keep Our High School In College Station — Re-elect — f KIEL'S ii; tali Pauli Manu CLOSED for the Holidays “Pita CIRCLE 4-1250 TONIGHT thru FRIDAY Children Under 12 Admitted FREE When Accompanied By An Adult.
