Isbell Optioned

FORT WORTH, April 8—<A>)—
Larry Isbell, former Baylor All-
America football player, has been
optioned to Fort Worth by the Bos
ton Red Sox’ Louisville farm club.
Isbell is a catcher who hit .268

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.

The fish must be caught within
a 50 mile radius of College Sta
tion. Seines or nets are not eli

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

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

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.

Favorites in these events will be

Notre Dame’s Jim Harrington.
Ridwell vaulted 14 feet and three

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.
