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.”

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.

one! baseman Joe Boring and
first sacker John Hoyle has
turned five twin killings so
far this season.
“Pitching is good, as I expected
it to be,” said Bell.
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.

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.
