By JERRY ESTES
Sports News Editor
The great Aggie track team
swings into action again tomorrow
in a tri-meet with Texas and Rice
at Austin.
It will be the last meet before
the Southwest Conference meet in
Fort Worth the fifteenth of this
month.
All members of the team are in
fine shape and some of the best
times and distances of the year
should be produced.
The incomparable Darrow Hoop
er will lead the Aggies in the shot
and discus as he has for the last
three years. He, has broken the
existing shot record in nearly every
meet this year. Most of the records
broken were set by him last.
Another probable first place
will go to team captain Bobby
Ragsdale in the broad jump. Rags
dale has leaped 25 feet this year.
This is farther than any other
Southwest Conference athlete has
ever jumped.
Malcolm Marks and Glen Sprad
lin should walk off with honors in
the pole vault. Marks holds the all-
time Aggie vault record of 14 feet,
2 inches. Spi'adlin has been a close
second or tied marks all year.
James Baker will handle quarter-
mile chores quite capably. He will
also anchor the sprint relay team.
Pete Mayeaux and Roy Dollar
will toss the javelin in quest of an
other first for the Cadets.
Texas will provide most of the
competition for the Farmers. Don
Neighbors took the mile run from
the Aggies in the Quarterback re
lays in Corpus Christ! earlier this
year.
Bob Billingsly gained a tie for
the Longhorns in the high jump in
the same meet. He i~eached six feet,
two inches.
The distance run of two miles
should belong to A&M’s James
Blain without too much trouble. He
edged Texas at Corpus Christi by a
good 200 yards.
Captain Ragsdale has a good
chance to cop a first or second in
the 100 and 220 yard dashes. He
should also finish at least second
in the 220 yard low hurdles.
The meet should be a good warm
up for the Conference meet in
Fort Worth.
Hardgrove In Opener;
Nelson Pitches Friday
Baseball Coach Beau Bell has up between Jerry Lastelick and
selected Joe Hardgrove to pitch in
tomorrow’s game with the Bay
lor Bears in Waco, and Jerry Nel
son gets the starting assignment
in the Friday game.
Aggie hopes for a third place
finish in the conference race and a
mathematical chance for runner-up
honors rest on the arms of these
two pitchers, plus a little timely
hitting. Two wins over the Bears,
plus a Rice victory in one of its
three - game series with Texas,
would leave the Cadets needing
only a split in the two-game
series with the Longhorns to as
sure a second place tie with Texas.
Rowland to Start
Bell said he would probably
start Sam Rowlapd on first be
cause of the /short fences at the
Waco park, since Rowland hits a
longer ball than Bill Munnerlyn.
Charlie Leissner and Don Heft
are probable starhers at second
and short, while the starting as
signment at third is still a toss-
Brown Leads
A Ordnance
Into Semis
Bill Brown of A Ordnance
limited Squadron 7 to four
hits to advance the Ordnance
softballers into the Intramural
semifinals with a 2-0 win.
Right fielder Lawrence Los-
koski and Jim Compton, third
baseman, scored the winning
runs.
Losing pitcher Billy Steele
gave up four hits.
Capitalizing on a hit-by-
pitcher ball, Ordnance took the
lead in the second inning of
play when Compton scored.
Compton gained first on the
hit-by-pitcher ball. Loskoski
scored in the sixth inning.
Jim Parrish.
The regular trio of outfielders
will be patrolling their usual posi
tions, with Lester Byrd in left
field, Tex Farmer in center, and
Eric Miller in right field.
Behind the plate, Robinett may
get the call to start, because of an
edge in hitting power, but Jimmy
Williams is a defensive standout.
No basei'unner has successfully
stolen second base with Williams
catching.
After concluding the Baylor
series, the Aggies return to the
Kyle Field diamond for the final
games with Texas on May 14 and
15.
The Aggie record for the season
is 10 wins and 10 losses, while the
conference mark is six victories
and five defeats.

The Aggie fencing team took
second place in the AFLA sectional
finals at Lubbock over the week
end. Salle Prm of Houston-Galves-
ton was first and Texas Tech plac
ed third.
A&M’s epee team of Bill Will-
mann, Jimmy Pigg, Gus Wulfman,
and Jerry Ramsey turned in an
outstanding performance against
Salle Prin. They fought an excel-
lend series of bouts and lost hy a
narrow 5-4 margin. The epee team
won the college division title.
The Aggie foil team beat Texas
Tech 5-3 and Arizonia 5-3 for the
college title, but lost to Salle Prin

Michalske Named
A&M Line Coach
Mike Michalske, one of the out
standing line coaches in the nation,
has been named Texas A&M line
coach by the athletic council, Dir
ector of Athletics Barlow Irwin
announced today.
Michalske comes to the A&M
coaching staff after long and suc
cessful years as a college and pro
fessional player and coach. He re
ceived all-American honors while
playing at Penn State and later
was an outstanding player of pro
football for the Baltimore Colts
and Green Bay Packers.
The Aggie coach resigned as
Baylor line coach the past winter
after serving three seasons for the
Bears. He replaces Paul McMurt-
ry on the Aggie staff. McMurtry
resigned last December to return
to his farm near Rio Hondo. The
latter had served under Head
Coach Ray George as Aggie line
coach for the 1951 and 1952 sea
sons.
Michalske is a graduate of Penn
State in 1927. He played for the
