27-POUND CAT PULLED OUT OF LAKE TEXOMA—A
double-0 fish hook—about the size of a bent pin—hooked
this 27-pound yellow cat on a rod and reel for Mr. and Mrs.
L. E. Brannan of Dallas. Even with the help of Gene Whit-
tiker of Big Spring and George Firth of Farmington, N.M.,
it took an hour and 20 minutes to land the fish at High-

Legion Splits Two
With St. Thomas
By BARNEY WELCH
Mural’s Writer
With six games completed dur
ing the first week of the second
six weeks of Intramural Softball,
the results indicate a torrid, close,
dog-eat-dog race.
Every team has won at least one
game and all but Project House has
lost at least once.
Law and Puryear played the first
game of the tournament. Bill
Becher led his Puryear team to a
5-1 win over Law giving up only
one hit while striking out 15 Law
men. Ray Barlow was the losing

jAuch line stars as Mor-

may put the finger on

(Boogie) Robinson, the senior safe
ty man.
Or Abe may slip in himself.
Which is a way of saying the
Frogs art weaker than weak at
end.
And it’s the same at center. Not
a let ter man returns and two soph
omores, Bob White of Fort Worth
and Hugh Pitts of Woodville, may
be “it.” Dale Brakebille, squad-
man, may help out.
Otherwise, the Frogs look pretty
stout despite the loss, by one means
or another, of some 13 boys from
the spring training roster. The
varsity squad this year will number
only 52 boys against 68 or so last
season.
The backfield looks especially
good. Malvin Fowler, the power
ful five-year man, looms as the
man-under on the new T formation.
However, he must miss the opening
game with Kansas under the Con
ference ruling that gave him an ex
tra year of eligibility. Fowler got
hurt in the opening game of 1951
and missed the remainder of the
season. So the conference decided
he could have another year of eli
gibility minus the opening game.
Ray McKown, sensation of the
1951 champions, is F’owler’s “un
derstudy” and will open the Kan
sas game. Both of them are big
and versatile-
Ronald Clinkscale, one of the
fastest men in the country, will be
at left halfback. He will be a jun
ior and should go great. He’s
backed by a fine sophomore in
Van Williams, son of Blackie Wil
liams, captain of the TCU team of
1927.
Ronald Fraley, the defensive
star, looms as the right halfback
despite his lean 165 pounds and the
one-platoon system. Two seniors,
Sammy Morrow and Danny Hall
mark, make fullback strong.
Williams, the senior guard, is the
standout of the line. The 200-
pounder does everything well and
has made the swap to offense in a
breeze. Malcolm Wallace and
Claude Roach are lettermen at
right guard.
There are four lettered tackles—
seniors Marshall Harris, Hal Lam
bert and R. C. Harris and junior
Bill Sikes. And look for Ray Hill,
a 200-pound Marine veteran who is
coming up at right tackle.
But anyway you' cut it, the Frogs
are shy on the flanks and up the
middle. Albert Smith, who has
charge of the equipment at TCU,
has been ordered not to issue a.un
iform to one Abe Martin. But he
may slip by. Abe won’t worry
so much if he’s out there getting
batted around instead of sitting on
the bench looking for an end to
show up.
pitcher giving up only one hit while
striking out 5 men of Puryear.
The first night', game found the
Project House eking out a 7-5 win
over Mitchell Hall. Project House
seems to be the team to beat as
they have two wins with no losses.
Sonny Pruitt led the Project House
attack giving up only 2 hits' to
Mitchell, both being home runs, one
by C. D. Gwen, Mitchell first base-
man, and one by Paul Henojasn,
center fielder for Mitchell. Leon
Shepley was the losing Pitcher for
Mitchell in the game.
Law. .b( > unc.ed_.back from, their de
feat by Puryear to trim Colleg'e
View, a new entry into the Softball
Tournament, by a score of 9-5.
Kirby Helbig proved to be too much
for College View as he gave up bn-
ly’ 4 hits while Gordon Moore, a
great golfer, gave up 8 hits to Law
Hall. College View will be one of
the threats after they become a
little better organized by getting
to play together more.
Mitchell dropped Puryear for
their first loss on July 29 by a
score of 10-8. Marian pitched a
good game for Mitchell as he gave
up 9 hits and struck out 7 Puryear
men. Claude Harris was the losing
pitcher giving up only 5 hits and
being credited with 9 strike outs.
The Project House won their sec
ond game from College View by
the score of 5-3. Sonny Pruitt was
the winning pitcher again as he
struck out 7 College View men and
gave up 4 hits. Buddy Moore, the
golfing great, was credited with
his second loss of the season as he
gave up 8 hits with one strike out.
In the final game of the first
week of play Mitchell downed Law
8-0 in 4 innings.- This was Mitch
ells second win of the week. Leon
Shepley is given credit for the win
as he pitched a no-hit-no-run strike
out. Paul Garza did a good job of
pitching until the bottom of the 3rd
inning when Mitchell jumped on
him for 5 hits and 3 runs.
In the only volleyball game Mit
chell received a win over Law by
forfeit.
Entries for open golf and tennis
can still be made before Wednes
day, August 5. Each athletic offi
cer in the area has an entry form.
Anyone interested in competing can
sign up with their athletic officer
or at Students Activities or the golf
shop.
The College Station American
Legion baseball team almost pulled
a tremendous upset Sunday after
noon on the Kyle Field diamond
when they defeated hitherto un
beaten St. Thomas of Houston in
the second game of the Area 3
playoff by a 11-8 score.
But the Toms, unaccustomed to
defeat, returned to form in the
nightcap on the splendid two-hit
pitching of Lupe Fraga and a 12-
hit attack off three College Sta
tion chunkers to score a 14-0 win.
Thus Saint Thomas completed
the field for the four-day state
meet, which gets underway at Pub
lic School diamond in Houston,
Thursday and runs through Sun
day.
College Station collected 12 hits
and seven walks off the first game
quartet. The Tom attack was
guilty of deserting nine runners
and having six players caught off
or going to base.
Saint Thomas grabbed a 4-0
lead in the first inning, put togeth
er on Tim Staples’ game-opening
340-foot home run, two singles and
five errors.
The advantage was quickly
erased in the second, however, and
five College Station runners cross
ed the plate. A bases-loaded three
bagger by David Bonnen featured
the rally, which chased starter
Mike. Mulvihill and brought on re
liefer Ken Stevens.
Twice the Eagles fought back to
tie the score, once at 5-5 and again
at 8-8. But the Toms collapsed for
good beneath a three-run College
Station assault on loser Armando

Majors Beat
Tyler 6-2
Righthander Bill Hockenberry
scattered six hits to give the Bry
an Majors a 6-2 Big State League
win over the Tyler East Texans
Monday night.
Major catcher Ronald Spradlin
homered in the bottom of the
sixth with two mates on board for
his first four-bagger of the year
to give Hockenberry a comfortable
lead to work with. Hockenberry
also led Major hitters with two
singles in two times at bat.
Losing pitcher for Tyler was
Boles, who gave up eight hits.
The win gave Bryan a split in
the two game series with Tyler,
since the East Texans won the
Sunday afternoon tilt by a 4-2
margin. Winning pitcher for Ty
ler was Gale Pringle, who allowed
but four hits while his mates were
picking up 13 safe blows off two
Bryan pitchers.
Joe Pipak was charged with the
loss.
Austin comes to Travis Park to
night at 8:30 for the first of a
three-game series. The delayed
starting time was set in order to
allow the District 2 Little League
baseball game to end, preventing
the little league lights from inter
fering with batters.
Tello, fourth Eagle chunker in the
eighth.
Lefty Pete Hickman, who res
cued Pinky Cooner in the seventh,
and allowed only the eighth Tom
run, was the winner.
The finale belonged to Fraga,
the little righthander coming back
from his 6-0, one-hit win in Wed
nesday’s opener in fine style. He
fanned six and permitted just One
runner to reach second.
Smarting from the sting of the
first game loss, the Eagles never
let up as they jumped off to a six-
run bulge in the first three innings
off Cooner—making his third start
of the series—and finished with
eight more runs off two successors*
In all, the afternoon saw over
five hours of hectic baseball ac-
tivity y \yith 33 runs, 39 hits and 19
errors being produced on hazy Kyle
Field.
