that game by Coach Norton, and
the Aggies played a heads-up ball
game and won 7-3. After the game,
as the custom goes, the captain of
the team that wins gets the ball
used in the game. Herbie Smith
brought that Santa Clara ball
back to Texas.”
“All year Bill Duncan had been
trying to get a game ball, but had
never been appointed captain in
any of the games. Nevertheless,
Bill played some fine ball for the
Aggies. About time the big Texas
game had moved into the pictui'e,
and the Thanksgiving ducats were
at a premium. They were nractical-
ly impossible to set, but Bill and
Herbie had managed to obtain
some tickets for a gentleman in
Houston. So through appreciation
this man of Houston gave Bill and
Herbie a little extra for getting the
tickets for him.
“Herbie received the money, just
before the game, but he didn’t see
Duncan until the Aggies had given
the Loughorns a thorough tromp-
ing, 20 to 7. Herbie was agaib cap
tain in this game, and he got the
Texas ball. After the game Herbie
saw Bill, and asked him how .much
of the money was his. Bill Duncan
wanted a game football bad. He
still didn’t have one. So he tells
Herbie Smith that he can keep all
the money if he will let him, Bill
have one of the game footballs for
a keepsake. Bill knew how Herbie
felt about the Texas ball, so he
asked for the Santa. Clara ball.
Herbie Smith, being the man ,.that
he was, not only gave Duncan the
ball, but his share of the money
also. Bill Duncan was a very hap
py man.
“Well, about three weeks ago
Bill Duncan moved to Belton, Tex
as to take up his duties as head
coach. And, as all of us do when we
start moving, he began to gather
up odds and ends from here and
there. What should he find but
the Santa Clara ball, all wrapped
up in tissue paper. Bill decided he
would retrace all the signatures
on the ball for they were fading
with age. After he was settled in
Belton, Buncan got the ball out
one night, and began his job of
retracing names.

Soccer Team Tops Allen 5-2
To Win International Crown
The A&M soccer team emerged
as Texas International Soccer
League champions when they
downed the Allen Academy Ramb
lers Wednesday on Allen Field in
an easy 5-2 victory.
Scoring four goals in the first
half, two by A. Casas and two by
Guillermo Cardenas, the Aggies
were content to coast in the second
half, scoring one more goal on a
fine play by Casas.
Allen scored a single goal in
the first half and were unable to
score any more points in the re
mainder of the contest.
With the victory, the Aggies
clinched first place with a season
record of six wins and two ties.
They also led the league in scor
ing, chalking up 31 goals during
the season while permitting nine
goals by opponents.
Fernandez Outstanding
Guy Fernandez was the out
standing goalie for the league,
permitting but seven goals to be
scored against him during the en
tire season.
Cardenas was the .league leader
in scoring, booting 1 goals in the
eight games played.
The Allen game wound up play
for the A&M team, which is com-
Aggies Down Rice,
Amateurs; 4-1, 4-3
The Aggies won two baseball
games in three days, downing Rice
Saturday on Kyle Field, 4-1 in a
conference tilt, and defeating the
Bryan Amateurs by a 4-3 margin
last night at Travis Park in Bryan.
Victory in the Rice game gave
the Cadets a three won and three
lost record in conference play,
while last night’s win over the
Amateurs gave them a season
mark of seven wins and seven
losses.
Nelson and Hennig Win
In Saturday’s game, Jerry Nel
son went the route to pick up the
win and Ed Hennig duplicated the
feat against the Amateurs last
night.
The Rice game found the Farm
ers still unable to bunch their hits,
registering only three bingles, but
Nelson was equally stingy to the
Owl batters and set them down
with four safeties.
Taking advantage of nine walks
and three Rice errors, the Aggies
scored two earned runs and two
unearned runs.
Hennig allowed two hits in one
inning twice against the Amateurs,

Players
Track Team Wins
28th Kansas Relays
Texas A&M won the 28th An
nual Kansas Relays for the third
straight year, racking up 35 Mi
points. The Aggies more than
doubled their closest rival, the Uni
versity of Kansas, who scored 17%
points.
Darrow Hooper was voted the
most outstanding performer by
the press and radio men, by virtue
of his double victory in the shot
put and discus. This was the first
time in the history of the relays,
that a performer had won those
events for three straight years.
Hoopers shot put distance was
55 feet, 3% inches, and his discus
distance, 163 feet, 2 and one eighth
inches. Hooper was given two
watches, one for winning the shot
and the other for winning the dis
cus.
Pole vaulter, Malcolm Marks of
the Aggies, was also given a watch
for winning his event with a vault
of 13 feet, eight and three quarters
inches,
Anderson Pleased
Col. Andy Anderson, A&M
track coach, was well pleased with
the nfeet, and said, “the high point
of the meet to me was Hobby
Ragsdale’s broadjump.” Ragsdale
broadjumped 25 feet and one half
inch, and placed second in this
event behind John Bennett of Mar
quette, who leaped 25 feet four
inches.
The players are: Rafael Nunez,
manager, Venezuela; Ruben Gon
zalez, team referee, Guatemala;
William Wilson, Washington, D.
C.; Romain Slabbaert, Dallas; Bill
Cunningham, Brazil; Lee Blocker,
Brazil; M. Lesage, Honduras; A.
Casas, Venezuela; Max Casalta,
Venezuela; E. Pavon, Colombia;
Pedro Perez, Nicaragua; Fernando
Montez, Honduras; Richard Block

Jorge Ducos, Argentina; Marshall
Lester, Dallas; Cyril Lartique,
Honduras; Guy Fernandez, Peru;
Miguel Muyshondt - Yudice, El
Salvador; Georges Cunningham,
Brazil; Juan Letts, Peru; Guil
lermo Fernandez, Cuba; and Guil
lermo Cardenas, team captain and
coach, Mexico.
Ragsdales’ jump was a new Ag
gie record and was also two and
three quarters inches better than
the Southwest Conference broad
jump record of 24 feet nine and
three quarters inches.
Weightmen, Dan Pratt, and Bob
by Gross finished third and fourth
respectively in the shot put, and
Gross finished third in the discus.
“It was remarkable that we finish
ed one, three and four in the shot
put,” Col. Anderson, commented,
“since there were so many schools
entered in the relays.”
According to Col. Anderson,
“every major school from the Gulf
of Mexico to Canada and from the
Mississippi to the Rocky Moun
tains was represented at the re
lays.” i
Pete Mayeaux finished second in
the javelin throw, with a toss of
186 feet, eight and three quarters
inches, Glen Spradlin of A&M, tied
for second in the pole vault, at the
13 feet, two and three quai'ters
inches mark, for other Aggie
points in the field events.
The A&M four mile relay finish
ed second, the 440 yard relay was
fourth and the Aggies were second
in the distance medley for the
other Cadet points.
