Page 4 THE BATTALION Thursday, March 31, 1955 Play Baylor Saturday Improved Aggies Lead SWC Race By RONNIE GREATHOUSE Battalion Sports Staff “Improved all-around” is the way the Aggie baseball team stacks up at present, says Coach Beau Bell. Behind the hurling of Joe Hardgrove and Jerry Nelson, the Cadets have tumbled two straight league foes, and jump ed to an early lead in the young Southwest conference season. A&M’s 7-2 season record is also tops for the conference. The Aggies challenge Baylor, a strong SWC title con tender here Saturday in hopes of keeping their perfect con-* ference record intact. “Our infield is smoother this year,” said Bell, “and it seems we’ve already gotten more double plays than all last season.” *■ A slick fielding trio of shortstop Dick Bleckner, sec- Intramurals Virgil Morrison pitched no-hit ball yesterday to help his C infan try teammates shutout C armor 3- 0, and highlight freshmen soft- ball. Twelve men came to bat for the white band in the first inning of its game with squadron 6 to score six runs. White band went on to win 13-0 in the afternoon’s most lopsided contest. Bob Clark led D infantry to a 13-2 victory over A engineers with three hits. D infantry scored 10 runs in the second. In other freshmen games D field artillery edged squadron 4, 7-5, get ting all seven runs in the second frame. Maroon band downed squad ron 5, 9-4'. Carl Zeitler got a home run and a double for the winners. Fred Galley’s homer with two men aboard got A transportation off to a good staid, as it beat A ordnance 7-2 in upperclassmen ac tion. In two slug-fests of the day, squadron 7 outscored squadron 13, 12-9, and squadron 19 downed A field artillery 10-7. Squadron 7 scored nine of its runs in the first with Jack Thomas, Bill Keen and John Vass getting three successive hits. Squadron 8 squeezed past A sig nal corps, 6-5, with all six runs coming in the last inning. A infantry shut-out A armor, 4- 0, and squadron 20 beat squad ron 14, 5-0, to round out Thurs day’s card.

Hardgrove and sophomore right hander Dick Munday have 2-0 rec ords, followed by Wendell Baker, another sophomore, with 1-0. Nel son pulled up to a 2-2 season mark by twirling a win over TCU Tues day. “I’d put our staff up against any in the conference”, said all- SWC catcher Jimmy Williams. Hitting was supposed to be the sore spot on the team this year, but the scrappy Aggie nine has shown the ability to produce runs and hits when needed. A&M has scored 17 runs in its two confer ence games. Last year they man aged omy 19 in the first four. “lies Byrd and Joe Schero ap pear to be two of the most im proved players on the squad,” said Bell. Leftiielder Byrd leads the Cadets at the plate with a .357 average compiled in nine games, and has led all season. Senior third base- man Schero ranks next to Byrd in hitting yyith a .294 mark, but is steadily improving. In the last six games Schero has batted the ball at a .409 clip. Track (Continued from Page 3) into the high jump. Another of Anderson’s men who took a roundabout way to a track uni form, he has done 6-4 twice this season, but it took a 6-7% to win at the Relays last year. Connally, a high jumper on the San Antonio Brackenridge team which won the Relays high school title in 1953, came here as a basketball player. One day after practice, he and several others were jumping for a “pot,” Anderson saw Con nally clear 5-8 in fatigues and street shoes, and that was that. — Legal Notice — ORDINANCE NO. 202 AN ORDINANCE GRANTING TO THE SOUTHWESTERN STATES TELEPHONE COMPANY ITS SUCCESSORS, OR AS SIGNS.
