Rocky Arnold Still
In There Fighting
Charles “Rocky” Arnold is a
Texas A&M junior civil engineer
ing - student from Sherman who
wasn’t even supposed to he hi
school this semester.
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.”

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.

WACO, March 1—</P) — Baylor
outscored Texas A&M 79-65 last
night in both teams’ final South
west Conference basketball game.

match the scoring of the Bruins’
Don Dickson, Tommy Str as burger
and Murray Bailey, who scored 17,
15 and 9.
The Aggies fought the Bears on
even terms in the first quarter,
which ended with Baylor in front

I had a lot to learn before
I could lead my own band.
I studied singing; eventually did
