Against SMU
Ags To Face ‘Good’
Hurling in Dallas
The Aggies will be up against
some “good pitching” when they
open a two-game series with SMU
in Dallas tomorrow.
Aggie baseball coach Beau Bell
said Wednesday, “SMU has some
good pitching but it is too early to
tell about their hitting.”
SMU split a two-game series
with TCU earlier in the season.
Jerry Nelson, big right-hander
from Beaumont, will start on the
mound for the Aggies Friday, fol
lowed by the left handed curve-
ball artist, Joe Hardgrove on Satur
day.
Nelson has a 2-0 record for the
season. He has worked 24 % inn
ings, given up four earned runs, 14
hits, and has a earned-run average
of 1.4. Hardgrove has toiled 21
innings, given up eight earned
runs, 15 hits and has a won-lost
record of 3-1.
Aggie hitters will be led by first
baseman Les Byrd, who has an
average of .350, including two
doubles, a triple, and a home run.
Behn Kubbard, right fielder, is
second with .280, followed by cat
cher Jim Williams with .209.
A&M has a 6-2 season record.
The losses were to the Minnesota
Gophers 4-3 and 5-2.
The Aggies have improved in all
departments over last year’s club,
Bell believes, especially in hitting.
Bell credits the club’s improvement

NCAA May Be
Forced to Lift
Grid TV Rules
CHAMPAIGN, HI., March
31—UP)—The “beginning of
the end” of football televis
ion control by the National
Collegiate Athletic Ass’n. was
envisioned today ^by Athletic Di
rector Doug Mills of Illinois.
Mills has been a strong propo
nent of a Big Ten plan of regional
TV control which the NCAA’s TV
Committee rejected yesterday in
recommending restricted national
control.
Concerning the NCAA commit
tee’s recommendation, Mills said:
“This could be the beginning of
the end of NCAA control of TV
from the viewpoint that its pro
posed 1954 program px-obably will
invite legislative pressure through
out the various states.”
Mills described the NCAA pro
posal to continue telecasting of a
national football game of the week
as “just a stop gap plan.”
Texas League Sets
Same Seat Prices
FORT WORTH, March 31 UP)—-
Texas League prices will remain
the same as last year, League
President John Reeves said today.
He said a reduction in the federal
tax had prevented any of the clubs
from raising their prices.
Congress cut the tax on tickets
costing over 50 cents from 20 to 10
per cent.
“Some clubs in organized base
ball, including the Texas League,
were going to be forced to raise
then* prices in order to meet ex
penses had not this tax relief
come,” Reeves said.
Maximum prices in the league
ai*e: Individual box seats $2.00, re
serve seats $1.75, grandstand and
general admission $1.50 and
bleachers and pavilion $1.00.
New Cub Pilot
Explains Stand
SHREVEPORT, April 1—OP)—
The Chicago Cubs had their game
with Baltimore rained out yester
day, giving them a chance to learn
what their new manager, Stan
Hack, has in mind.
“The idea is to win,” Hack told
his Cubs as he met them officially
for the first time. Stan replaced
Phil Cavarretta, who Monday was
released as manager.
“I feel we’ll all get along fine,”
Hack said. “Pm sure I’ll get full
cooperation from everyone. These
men are all pros. They have a job
to do, and they’ll give the fans a
run for their money.”
Cavaretta left the Cubs at Dal
las yesterday with the remark:
“I’m cold and sick at heart and
I’m going home.”
