The - tackle on the Aggie B team last fall spent his evenings scrim maging against the varsity and his Saturday’s watching the Cadets play. He was seriously injured in a car accident last Oct. 3 enroute to see the Aggie-Georgia game in Dallas. His life was in danger and he was slated to spend at least a year confined to his bed. It was doubtful if ho could walk again. Rocky, a G-l, 170-pounder, fooled the doctors, though. He wap walk ing on crutches by Christmas—less than three months after the near- fatal accident near Waco. lit threw away the crutches and walk ed with a. cane by New Yeats Day. He enrolled at A&M again for the second seiuestcr stmt eight months ahead of schedule and his startled physicians say that in time he will have no effects front the accident. He credits his remarkable recov ery to “my good health and being in good condition from playing football early in the season.” “The doctors were crazy about the way I rallied,” Rocky says. “I think I’m the luckiest guy in the world.” ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS CIVIL ENGINEERS MECHANICAL ENGINEERS IN DUSTRI A G EN GIN EERS BUS, ADM.

Leissner Named Baseball Captain Charles Leissner, senior second baseman from Austin, has been elected captain of the Texas Aggie baseball team for the coming sea son. Leissner, a two-year lettermaai, was a unanimous choice of his teammates as the team prepares for the opening series March 8-9 with Sam Houston. The Bearkats will host A&M at Huntsville the 8th and the two teams will move to College Station for the March 9 game. The Cadets arc in their second week of workouts and it’s been the fine showing of sophomores to date that has most pleased Coach Beau Bell. Top sophs arc Bclm Hubbard of Cucro, outfielder; Jimmy Howell of Stcphenvillc, firstbase and John Stockton of Bryan, outfield. Unless the veterans improve oh their hit ting, these rookies will be in the starting lineup. Showing early season form among the vets are Shortstop Jim Dishman, Beaumont shortstop; Leissner, secondbasc; Los Byrd, junior outfielder from Winters and the fine pitching staff led by Jerry Nelson, all-Soiltlnvest conference righthander from Beaumont. Oth er veteran hurlers and southpaw Joe Hardgrovc of Fort, Worth, Ed Hcnnig of Tyler and Lou Little of Schulcnburg. Jimmy Williams of San Antonio and Jerry Robinett of El Paso are sharing the catching duties wit It Jim Parrish of Ballinger and Joe Schero of San Antonio battling at thirdbase. Schero will be with the spring football forces until March 29. Sophs Give Best Hopes Texas A&M’s ranking in the coming track season will depend upon the showing of the fine soph omore prospects. Col. Frank Anderson, veteran Aggie coach, although pleased with the showing of his yearlings in a recent exhibition meet with a Mex ican team, still figures the Aggies to battle Rice for second place in the Southwest conference. Col. Andy, now in his 34th year at A&M, rates Texas a prohibitive favorite to unseat A&M after the Cadets dominated six of the past seven loop meets. Five sophomores showed promise as the Aggies smothered Mexico, 85-55, recently. These sophs are expected to bolster the work of experienced hands such as Jim Blaine, senior distance ace from Imperial; Dale DeRouen, miler from Port Arthur and Bobby Gross, shot put and discus man from Big Spi'ings. First-year men are Tom Bonor- den, husky shot putter from Port Lavaca; Billy Tutor, vaulter from Temple; Jim Hollingsworth, Port Arthur hurdler; Tom Strait, broad jumper from Terrahave, La., and Terry Vetters, San Antonio 440- dash runner. Bonordcn heaved the shot 48-10 Strait won the broad jump at 22-3Y2, Hollingsworth won the high hurdles in : 15.1, Vetters ran a good 440 behind Carol Libby of Alvin while Tutor vaulted 12 feet. A&M opens the season March G at Houston against the Cougars and Texas. Col. Andy lias a var sity team composed 100-percent of men who did not come to A&M on scholarship. They all earned their scholarships after, winning points in varsity meets. Baylor Beats Aggies, 79-65 WACO, March 1—</P) — Baylor outscored Texas A&M 79-65 last night in both teams’ final South west Conference basketball game.
