Nelson, ONeal Tangle
In Mound Duel Here
By RONNIE GREATHOUSE
Battalion Sports Staff
A mound duel between Jerry Nelson and TCU’s Dick
O’Neal appears on tap for the Aggies’ Southwest conference
opener at home today.
Game time is 3 p.m. at Kyle field.
A&M leads the conference in season play with a 6-2
record, and is tied with Texas in conference play with a 1-0
■fmark after dumping Rice 7-5
at Houston last Friday.
Nelson, sporting a 1-2 sea
son record, gets his first crack
at a conference foe. In his
last two outings against the New
Orleans Pelicans he turned in out
standing performances, winning
the first 5-3 and losing the second.
He gave up only one earned run in
the second game.
O’Neal, the darling of TCU bas
ketball fans, is also one of the
Froggies’ top pitchers. He recent
ly bi-oke the SWC season and con
ference basketball scoring record.
Dependable Les Byrd tacked on
19 points to his average in the
Rice game to keep his number one
position among A&M batters with
a .400 average.
Fred Ablon still holds down the
second slot with .286, although he
dropped 26 points in the Rice fray.
Joe Boring banged' out three hits
in as many trips to the plate
against the Owls to hoist himself
in to third spot on the Cadet squad
with .280.
Icy blasts from the north wind
failed to cool tempers in the Aggies
triumph over Rice last week,
as a near free-for-all took place.
Southpaw Joe Hardgrove spun
a five-hitter to take credit for the
win and preserve his perfect rec-
oi*d. He now has a 2-0 mark.
Joe Schero blasted a homer in
the eighth and Boring duplicated
the feat in the ninth. The Aggies
pounced on Owl hurlers for three
runs on three walks, a double and
a homer in the top of the ninth to
wrap up the contest.
Tennis Team
s U of H,
Then UT, TCU
Aggie tennis players begin
a busy week today taking on
the University of Houston
here at 2:30 p.m.
The Cadets meet Texas at
Austin Thursday and end the
week’s activities against TCU here
Saturday.
A&M trounced Abilene Christ
ian college 5-1 here Friday, sweep
ing all four singles matches and
copping one of two doubles events.
In the singles Gene Kinard drop
ped the first set to ACC’s Max
Leach 2-6, then came back to win
two straight, 6-2, 6-3. Don Dixon
dumped Jerry Griffitts of ACC,
6- 3, 6-3; Jack Bessellieu downed
Ronnie Walcher, ACC, 6-1, 4-6,
7- 5 and Bob Kerr thumped James
Tudox-, ACC, 6-3, 6-2.
Kei’r and Bessellieu teamed up
in the doubles to top Leach and
Griffitts, 6-4, 6-2. Dixon and Kin
ard lost to Walcher and Tudor in
the other doubles match, 4-6, 8-10.
A&M’s freshmen team is one of
the stx’ongest in histoi'y, said
Coach W. M. Dowell, and gets a
chance to px - ove it against the pe
rennial strong .Shorthorns on
Thursday.
“I expect the freshmen to show
up very well against Texas”, said
Dowell.
Paul Wilkins,„ last year’s state
singles champion from Baytown,
leads the promising young Aggies.
Rex Reed, John Medlin, John
Young, Joe Simmons and Larry
Patterson round out the team.
Medlin and Patterson teamed to
win the state doubles champion
ship at Freer high school last year.
Ag Soccer Team
Blanks Allen 8-0
Thi'ee players kicked a goal each
in the first half, then the Aggie
soccer team added five more in the
second period to shut out Allen
academy 8-0 hex-e yesterday.
The game was originally set for
last Satux-day but postponed be
cause of cold weathei'.
Y r estei’day Jacintho lacovone
scored the first goal, Roberto II-
dari’az booted a short one and
Joi’ge Hildago scored on a high
