OBRIEN MORRIS MORAN Ag Tennis Team Loses to Texas In Austin, 6 - 0 The Aggie tennis squad took it on the chin, Tuesday, March 31, as the high flying Texas University netters shut them out 6-0 on Penick courts in Austin. The Longhorns are the defending Southwest Conference Tennis champions. The Cadets number one netman, Eugene Letsos, lost his first match of the season to Johnny Hernan dez of the Steers. Hernandez demonstrated bril liant court generalship as he blast ed Letsos, 6-2, 6-1. Letsos’ sharp ly angled forehand drives failed to stop Hernandez, and the Texas ace kept Letsos from the net by deep drives, making him play the back court. Letsos lost his service in the first set, then lost three straight love games to his little opponent. Her nandez finished out the first set after getting a 40-0 advantage in the eighth game. Aggies number two netter, Tom my West, met the same fate as Letsos, when the Longhorns’ James Saunders, won 6-2, 6-3 in a match marred by erratic play by both players. Ronny Wolfe, Aggies number three man, put up a good fight before falling to the Steers’ Bill Bonham, 8-6, 6-3. Aggie Jack Jacobson, number four man, also gave his man trou ble before bowing to Texas’ Tom my Springer, 7-5, 6-1. Springer’s big overhead and powerful ground strokes, spelled the difference. Letsos and West, teamed for the doubles mg.tch, were overwhelmed by the Longhorn combination of Hernandez and Saunders, 6-3, 6-1. In the final match, Wolfe and Jacobson, fell to the Steers’ Sprin ger and Bonham, 6-2, 6-2.

Around the Conference Nebraska Hits Baylor In First of Dual Slate WACO, April 8—(A 4 )—Nebraska beat Baylor, 8-1, yesterday in the first game of a college baseball double-header. The second game was called after eight innings with the score tied at 8-8 to allow the Cornhuskers to leave for Oklaho ma. Charley Wright and Dick Mc Cormick limited the Bears to two singles in the opening game as Nebraska scored four first-inning runs and coasted on to victory.

When in Dallas why spend a dull Sunday afternoon? No Entries In Student Co-op Fishing Contest Where are all the College fishermen? The Student Co op has been sponsoring a Fishing contest since March 25, and not one fish has been turned in. The contest will close April 30, and at the rate things have been going, no one will collect any of the prizes. Prizes will be awarded to the fishermen bringing in the largest Bass, the largest White Perch (crappie), largest Bream, and the largest catfish. The fish must be caught within a 50 mile radius of College Sta tion. Seines or nets are not eli gible. Over fifty dollars worth of prizes will be given to the win ning anglers. Prize for the larg est bass is an Airex spinning reel. For the fisherman bringing in the largest white perch, an Action-Rod flyrod will be given to him. The person bringing in the larg est catfish will be awarded a salt water surf rod, and the prize for the largest bream is a tackle box with a large assortment of flies. The prizes mentioned are in the window of the Student Co-op. To enter the contest the fisher man must bring his catch to the Student Co-op and have it regis tered. The field is wide open, since no fish has been turned in, however, there is not very much slated for this weekend. Entries are ex pected to be turned in Saturday and Monday. SEEKS DOUBLE VICTORY—Darrow Hooper, Aggie’s top shot putter and discus thrower, will be after his third straight Kansas Relays triumph in his specialties, April 18, in Lawrence, Kan. It will also be Hooper’s third double victories in major Relays this season if he does it. Mayeaux, Hooper May Win At Kansas Relays Pete Mayeaux, the Aggies top javelin thrower, will be in conten tion for the javelin crown at the Kansas Relays April 18. Mayeaux has split even in two meets against the Kansas Relays champion of last year, Wes Ritchey of TCU. So far this year, Ritchey has not thrown over 182 feet one inch, while Mayeaux has bettered this mark twice this year. In last years Southwest Con ference meet, Mayeaux placed sec ond, but beat Ritchey who finished third. In their first meeting this year, Mayeaux beat the TCU champion in the Border Olympics at Laredo with a tljrow of 185 feet six and a half inches. Ritchey Wins Ritchey beat Mayeaux in the Texas Relays in Austin. However, Ritchey won the Kansas Relays last year with a throw of 204 feet and three quarters inches, and Mayeaux hasn’t reached that far yet. Darrow Hooper will be defend ing his shot put and discus crown. Last year Hooper won the Kansas Relays shot put with a put of 53 feet nine inches. Hooper will al most be certain to break this mark since he has yet to go below 54 feet this season. Hooper tossed the discus last year 152 feet eight and quarter inches. Last week at the Quarter back Relays in Corpus Christi, Hooper, threw the discus 168 feet nine inches. Hooper Favored No one appears to be able to challenge Hooper in his two spe cialties, and he is a heavy favorite to take his third triple crown at the Kansas Relays. Aggie vaulters, Malcolm Marks and Glenn Spradlin will face their toughest competition in the Kan sas Relays, and will have to vault over 14 feet to take the crown more than likely. Neither Aggie pole vaulter has hit that mark this year. Cadet Golfers Face U of H Team Today The Aggie golf team will be try ing to even up their series with the University of Houston golfers when they meet on the Aggie golf course this afternoon. In their last outing against the Cougar linksmen, the Cadets came out on the short end of the match, 5-1, which was played at Houston. The Cougars hold a two to noth ing won lost record over the Farm ers, having won one and tied one with the Aggies last year. Aggie golfers facing the Hous ton team will be John Barrett, Bob Briggs, Homer Calloway and Mal colm Douglass. A week from Thursday the Ag gies will meet SMU on the „Aggie Golf Course in their third South west Conference match, of the year. Plans for Building To Be Drawn Soon Plans will be drawn up soon for a new building for the dairy poultry, and bio-chemistry depart ments, said Dr. I. W. Rupel, head of the dairy department. Expert j-^icture ^jrum letch ec applies Chapman’s Paint & Wallpaper Co a Next Door to Post Office in Bryan Favorites in these events will be Colorado’s Gordon Ridwell and Notre Dame’s Jim Harrington. Ridwell vaulted 14 feet and three sixteenths inches in this year’s Colorado’s Indoor Invitational Meet. Harrington cleared the bar at 14 feet three and one eighth inches in this seasons Central Collegiate meet. Mai’ks Undefeated Marks is undefeated this year, and Spradlin has either tied for first' or placed second behind his teammate in their five meets this season. Both the Aggies should be able to pick up points in the Kansas Relays however. Last year, Cadet track captain, Bobby Ragsdale, placed second in the Kansas Relays broadjump be hind Gene Wilson of Kansas State. In doing this, Ragsdale beat Nev ille Place of Oklahoma, who beat him in the Texas Relays for the last two years. Price is an erratic broadjumper who has his bad days and Rags dale could very possibly come away with the Kansas Relay broadjump honors if the Oklahoma ace has another bad day like last year. Ragsdale has consistently jump ed around 23 feet eight inches, and has hit 24 feet two and three quarters inches this season. The winning Kansas Relays jump last year was 24 feet even.
