STUDENT CO-OP STORE Ph. 4-4114 North Gate Maxwell slugged a home run ov er the left fielder’s head to lead off the third and start a three-run out burst that pushed A&M into a mo mentary 3-1 lead. The visitors had scored once in the top of the third on a walk, hit batsman, single and sacrifice fly. Wharton scored twice in the fourth for a 3-3 tie that stood until the eighth, as Castleman and Bob Stauffacher shut the gates. Castleman permitted only two hits and two baserunners the rest of the way, on a fifth inning single and a seventh inning double. He struck out four and walked four. Stauffacher gave up 13 hits, at least one in all but the seventh frame, but bore down with men on base and stranded 11 base runners. After Maxwell’s homer in the third, right fielder Ed Dudley slap ped out an infield hit and went to second on a throwing error, Bob- Why do more college men and women smoke VICEROYS r than any other S. filter cigarette?

In the fifth, Conrad beat out an infield hit and Smotherman singled to left-center to start the inning. Then Stauffacher got Jerry Schu- hart to pop up to second and Kru- pa to bounce into a double play. Wharton threatened in the sev enth when second baseman Billy Williams doubled down the right field line with one out. Krupa threw him out when he tried to steal third, and Castleman retired the next man on a popup. In the Fish eighth, Castleman forced out Krupa at second after Krupa’s infield hit. Phil Beeson struck out, but an error on Don Smith’s grounder put runners at first and second. Then Maxwell smashed a hard- hit ball that bounced over the first baseman and rolled into right field, scoring Castleman and Smith. Max well went to third on the throw from the outfield and scored on Dudley’s infield hit to shortstop. ★ FISH - WHARTON BOX SCORE Wharton (3) AB R H O A Stuzenbaker, ss 3 2 1 3 0 1.

There is no admission charge. By RONNIE GREATHOUSE Battalion Sports Staff A key factor behind the Aggie baseball team’s rise to the upper bracket of the Southwest confer ence race has been the booming bat of third sacker Joe Schero. “I don’t think anyone on the team has improved as much as Schero in batting.” says Coach Beau Bell., Schero paces the Cadet squad at the plate with a steady .338 aver age over season play, and is pound ing the ball at a resounding .451 in conference action. The 21-year-old senior also leads A&M in runs scored with 14, doubles with six, a .508 slugging average, 33 total bases and is tied with Cap tain Les Byrd for the most runs-batted-in at 12. “There’s no other third baseman in the conference who’s any bet ter,” said r ’Bell, “and if he con tinues to hit like be is now, he’ll probably make all-conference.” Bowers, Proud Down BU, 1-0,5-2 DALLAS, April 26—-(7P>—SMU rode the strong right arms of ace pitchers Tommy Bowers and Er nie Proud to a double victory over Baylor here yesterday to stay unbeaten in Southwest con ference play. Bowers, registering his sixth victory of the campaign, shut out the Bears 1-0 behind shortstop Bob Boggan’s homerun over the left field fence. Proud had an easy time whip ping the Baptists 5-2 in the sev en inning nightcap. SMU now has eight wins and is well in front of second place A&M, which is 5-2.

BRYAN TEXAS Bat Leads Aggies Of seven conference games the Aggies have played so far this season, Schero has led the team in hitting in four. He was swinging at only .184 through the first four games of the season. In the Cadets 10-9 triumph over TCU here earlier in the season, he garnered three of A&M’s eight hits. He was the only Aggie who got more than one hit in the con test. Schero’s double off the boards in the first meeting with Baylor here proved to be the winning margin in A&M’s 4-2 trimming of the Bruins., He went 3 for 4 at bat that day. He had four hits in five trips in A&M’s 13-1 slaughter of Texas, and went 5 for 11 in the two-game series with the Longhorns. Against Baylor last week, Schero failed to get a hit in the first game loss to the Bears, but came Fish Golfers Beat Rice Frosh, 4-2 With Bobby Nichols taking med alist honors with a 71, A&M’s freshman golf team downed the Rice Owlets 4-2 in Houston Mon day while the varsity was losing a 5-4 decision to Lamar Tech in Beaumont, Nichols defeated Rice’s Tommy Driskoll, 3 and 2, hut Rex Jordan heat A&M’s Joe McKune, 4 and 3, and Rice won the foursome, 1-up.

He scored two runs and drove in two with a ringing two-bagger. “He has the hustle and fight it takes to make a good ball player,” Bell said. The speedy Schero also starred in A&M football as a halfback, and earned three varsity letters. He was fourth in ball carrying on the Aggie eleven last fall with 166 yards, giving him a 4.5 yard aver age each time he carried the ball. Schero was second to all conference end Bennie Sinclair in pass receiving on the squad with 78 yards on seven catches. He also handled punting chores at times, and had a respect able 34.0 yard average in 19 kicks. , He is from San Antonio, and is an architecture major.
