AUSTIN, May 5—UP) — A
well-balanced Texas freshman
track team was too strong for
the freshman teams of A&M
and Rice, and Victoria junior
college, to win a four-way meet
here yesterday.
Texas totaled 71 points in win
ning seven first places to out-point
A&M, who came in second with
46 %. Victoria, rated among the
powers in junior college circles,
came in third with 28 %, while Rice
finished fourth with 15 % points.
Boasting one of the top field
teams in the state, the Shorthorns
took four out of five events there.
The only field event in which they
failed to place first was the high
jump, where A&M had three clear
the winning mark. Rice also had
a man place in the tie for first.
Aggies Bob Carter, James Fund-
ling and Joe Greenwood all scaled
the bar at 5-10% and almost gave
the Fish a clean sweep. Rice’s
James Charnquist made the jump
to spoil a clean victory.
Walter McNew of Texas barely
edged out A&M’s Bill McFadden
in the mile run and only a desper
ate spurt gave him a two-yard
victory. McNew’s time was 4:31.3,
while McFadden was timed at one-
half a second slower.
A&M’s Emmett Smallwood easily
took the 220-yard low hurdles with
a 23.7 clocking, while the Aggies’
Sam Nave took the high hurdles
with 15.3.
The only other A&M winner was
Ed Willis, who tied Charnquist in
the pole vault at 11-%.

Ags Get 17 Hits,
Tie SMU for First
Special to The Battalion >
FQRT WORTH, May 5—Joe Hardgrove pitched A&M
into a first place tie with SMU in the Southwest conference
Thursday with a 9-6 victory over TCU.
The Aggies will pitch Jerry Nelson against Tommy Hill
in today’s game, starting at 2:30 p.m.
Hardgrove recorded his seventh win of the year and
sixth league victory without a loss, but it wasn’t smooth
sailing. The stubborn Frogs stayed in the game until the
eighth and threatened in the ninth until a double play
A&M’s second—ended the game.
Pitching in his home town, Hardgrove was touched for
10 hits.. The six runs is the most any team has scored off
him this year. He walked
four and fanned only two, but
was still the master all the
way.
TCU bunched two hits for
two runs in the second, and three
more hits in the fifth produced a
couple of runs. Hardgrove gave up
single runs in the third and sev
enth. The Aggies shelled Bob Mc
Daniel and Hill for 17 hits and took
advantage' of six Frog bobbles
afield to win their eighth SWC
game of the year against two
losses—the same record SMU car
ries into its game with Texas at
Dallas today.
Fred Ablon’s triple to right-cen
ter with two on in the sixth was
the big blow for A&M. It came
with two out and the Aggies be
hind. The little right fielder had
three for five.
Captain Les Byrd also had three
hits, while Jimmy Williams, all-
SWC catcher, drove in three big
runs with two timely singles.
The Aggies chased McDaniel in
the sixth during a four run rally.
Hill came in to retire the side. He
gave up two runs in the eighth on
Ablon’s single, a walk to John
Stockton and Williams’ single.
A&M scored first in the second
inning. Joe Schero singled, took
second on ,an error and scored on
Williams’ single. Beau Bell’s Ca
dets added two in the third on con
secutive singles by Ablon, Stockton
and Byrd, and Schero’s fielder’s
choice.
The Frogs scored two in the sec
ond on Jim Mayfield’s single, an
error on Bob White’s grounder, a
single by Larry Roseborough, a
walk to Don Holland, and Tommy
Rogers’ grounder. TCU tied the
count with A1 Paschal’s fluke hom
er in the third on what would have
been a double in most ball-parks.
His liner down the third-base line
veered over a cliff behind the left-
field line.
TCU went ahead by two in the
fifth. Paschal walked, Charles
Quick doubled, and Mayfield and
White singled.
A&M’s four runs in the sixth
came with two out. Boring got
life on an error, and Charlie Puls
was hit by a pitched ball. Boring
took third on a wild pitch and
scored on John Hoyle’s infield
grounder. Hardgrove then singled,
and Ablon scored two with his
triple.
McDaniel balked to score Ablon,
and the spurt was over, but A&M
still threatened when Stockton sin-

A Chemical
Spills C Armor
9-1 in Softball
A chemical pasted C armor,
9-1, behind the three - hit
pitching of John Channing
last night, and gained the
right to face C antiaircraft
artillery in the semi-final round
of upperclassmen softball.
Centerfielder Julius Jahns star
ted the scoring by smashing a
homer with Barry Hart on base
to put the chemical men in front
early, 2-0.
The tank men scored their only
run in the bottom of the first as
Howard Andrew singled and scor
ed on errors by third baseman
Jerry Schwartz and shortstop Del-
mar Harper. C armor couldn’t
touch Channing after that, except
for Leroy Campbell’s hit in the
fifth and pitcher Ed Dardaganian’s
base knock in the sixth.
The winners used three walks by
Dardaganian in the second and
a hit batsman to score their third
tally. Schwartz doubled in two
more runs in the fourth after
Jahns had singled and Channing
had reached first safely on a bunt-
single.
Harper walked to lead off the
sixth, Schwartz was safe on a first circuit blast of the season
fielder’s choice and Channing help- with Johnny Smith on base.
