Not Only Pitches But Hits .222
Letsos Establishes Right
To Tennis Championship
The team-crushing racket of Eu
gene (Golden Greek) Letsos has
more than proven this year that
he is a top contender for the
Southwest Conference Individual
Tennis Championship.
Letsos will compete in the
Southwest Conference Toumament
in Austin for this crown. As yet,
the date of the tournament has
not been set.
The first officially scheduled
team to feel the might of his arm
was the Rice Owls. Letsos blasted
Wayne Bennett in two straight
sets, 6-0, 6-1.
He kept rolling through the sea
son with victories which were def
initely evidence that Letsos is one
of the top individual tennis play
ers in the conference.
Beat Okie Aggie
He played his first game in a
series of two against the Oklahoma
A&M Number 1 man, and found
himself behind in the first set.
Letsos made a come-back despite
the powerful winds which were
whipping the tennis ball around
the varsity courts like balloons.
He came out on top of the con
test by a narrow margin but show
ed his courage to stay with the
game and never let up.
Letsos lost his first match of
the season to Johnny Hernandez
of the University of Texas.
Hernandez demonstrated bril
liant tennis as he beat Letsos 6-2
and 6-1. Letsos’ sharply angled

entire season. He pitched in only
two conference games.
The 19-year-old right hander
from Dallas lost his two conference
games, won two non-conference
games, and dropped another non
conference tilt.
He came out of the season with
a record of two wins and three
losses.
Work has improved a great deal
over last year, and has shown
promise this season that he will
improve even more before the
1954 baseball sea/son rolls around.
The young hurler can’t be satis
fied with pitching top-notch games.
He comes along and takes a berth
on the top end of the batting aver
ages.
Work was hitting around .222
nearly the entire season, and stay
ed near the top all the way
through.
forehand drives failed to stop the
favored Hernandez, and he couldn’t
get near the net as the Steers’ top
man kept him in the back court.
Letsos is 21 years old. He is
from Galveston and stands 6 feet
tall. His height is one factor
which contributed to his tennis
ability plus the fact that his 180
pounds gave his drives plenty of
power.
The Aggie tennis team will miss
the “Golden Greek’’ next year be
cause of graduation.
Aggies Score 104
Despite Wet Track
The Aggies totaled 104 points in
the official tally of the SWC Track
Meet held Saturday in Dallas.
Nearest contender for the title
was the University of Texas with
76% points. SMU followed with
33 and 1/5 points.
Good times were recorded re
gardless of the heavy rain and
muddy track which the teams cov
ered.
However, contenders for break
ing the records were disappointed
since the weather was enough to
prevent good chances at recoi’ds.
