Leissner Benched
Injury Sidelines
Baseball Captain
By ERIC MILLER
Battalion Staff Writer
Charles Leissner, physical edu
cation major from Austin, is the
present captain of the Aggie base
ball team.
Misfortune struck Chuck, as
most of his friends call him, early
this season during a practice ses
sion while attempting to start a
double play. A wrong step in the
wrong direction dislocated a disc
in his back which has caused him
much pain.
It will be a while before he can
get back in shape but he hopes to
be back in the lineup before the
season ends.
One of his most surprising
moments came last year at the an
nual spring sports banquet when
Chuck was awarded the Ted Mohle
award for contributing the most
to the team.
While attending Austin high,
Chuck lettered three years at short
stop and had a batting avarage
of .349 his senior year. After com
ing to A&M, he switched to second
base and was occupying this posi
tion when the accident occured.
Chuck was a member of the
Austin American Legion team from
which he was selected to serve on
the all state team. This Legion
teapi won the state finals and at
tended the Little World Series at
Charleston, S. C. where they finish
ed sixth in the nation.
Chuck receives his degree in
physical education May 21 along
with a commission in the air force.
