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-

Yes, only Viceroy has this filter composed of 20,000
tiny filter traps. You cannot obtain the same filtering
action in any other cigarette.
Besides being non-mineral and non-toxic, this cellu
lose-acetate filter never shreds or crumbles.
The Viceroy filter wasn’t just whipped up and rushed
to market to meet the new and skyrocketing demand
for filtered cigarettes. Viceroy pioneered. Started
research more than 20 years ago to create the pure
and perfect filter.
4 Smokers en masse report that filtered Viceroys have
• a finer flavor even than cigarettes without filters.
Rich, satisfying, yet pleasantly mild. \
5 Viceroy draws so easily that you wouldn’t know,
• without looking, that it even had a filter tip . . . and
Viceroys cost only a penny or two more than ciga-
os rettes without filters!
That’s why more college men and women smoke VICEROYS
than any other filter cigarette ... that’s why VICEROY is the
largest-selling filter cigarette in the world!
by Conrad singled to center, Jim
Smotheirnan singled to left to score
Dudley, and Conrad scored on
Frank Krupa’s forceout of Smoth-
erman at second.
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.

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

Proud had an easy time whip

en inning nightcap. SMU now

front of second place A&M,
which is 5-2. The Aggies and |
Mustangs meet here Friday and

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
