“We should be stronger this
year,” said Coach Bell, “but our
biggest concern is catching. If we
find a catcher we’ll give someone
a fit.”
Gone is Jimmy Williams, twice
a unanimous all-SWC choice be
hind the plate, and filling his shoes
will be Bell’s main chore. Reserve
lettermen Louis Nelson and Dale
West, 1954 Fish letterman who
didn’t play last year, will be bat
tling for the heavy duty depart
ment.
DEPTH AND experience fill
piactically every other position,
with a complete letterman infield,
two outfielders and four pitchers
returning.
John Hoyle, first baseman, Char
lie Puls, second baseman, Joe Bor
ing, third baseman and Dick Bleck-
ner, shortstop will be the men to
beat out in the infield. Boring
moved to regular shortstop from
second base in 1955 when Bleckner
was injured and is expected to
make the change to the hot corner
without much trouble.. Puls took
over the second sack and did a
terrific job and Hoyle was the
starting first baseman all last sea
son.
RETURNING TO his centerfield
spot is John Stockton, who gained
all-conference honors in 1955 and
was third in hitting among the
champions with a .341 average.
Behn Hubbard, a 1954 letterman
who didn’t play last year, will be
hack in right field.
On the mound will be Dick Mun-
day, the big Bryan Junior who
fashioned a 4-1 record last season
with a terrific 1.1 earned-run aver
age. Back of him is two-year let
terman Wendell Baker and reserve
lettermen Doug Mullins and Lynn
Monical.
Clyde Stinson, outfielder, Elo
Zatopek, pitcher-first baseman, and
Billy Frank Ross, outfielder are
returning squadman. Adding depth
to the infield will be Joe Worden
and Phil Newport, both transfers
from Florida junior colleges while
pitcher Paul Lang is an Arlington
State transfer. v
SOPHOMORES Toby Newton,
pitcher, Ed Dudley, outfielder who
will report after football spring
training and pitchers Cam Castle-
man and Ira Oertling are expected
to bolster the squad.
The Aggies journey to Hunts
ville to meet the Sam Houston
Beai’kats in the season opener
March 2, then return to Kyle Field
the following day to face the Uni
versity of Houston Cougars.

B-Armor captured the freshmen
tennis championship by clipping C-
Infantry, 2-1, yesterday. A1 Smith
and Harold Oxspring bounced back
from a so-so showing in the semi
finals to a thumping 6-2 win over
Infantrymen Bill Martin and Don
Stringer.
Charles Schurig and George
Fleck had a field day on the court,
drubbing Jim Vrba and Bob Snead,
6-0. Jack Smith and Jim Kelly
took a 6-2 pounding from C-In-
faritry’s Loyd Neal and Johnny
Dennis.
Sqd. 17 romped over A-AAA for
the upperclassman horseshoe title
2-0. Bpb Kidd and Larry South-
worth defeated Gene Haddox and
John Polk, racking up the cham
pions’ first win. Larry Martin and
Dave Westfall responded for win
number two by downing Dale
Avant and Glynn Chandler. Pat
Robertson and Philip Johnson are
the remaining members of the Sqd.
17 team.
A-Field Artillery frounced a
powerful Sqd. 9 freshman basket
ball team 31-23 yesterday. Some
aggressive defensive work has pro
vided A-Field with three straight
impressive wins. Their first vic
tory was 11-8, the second 27-6, and
the third 34-0. It would be inter
esting to watch them paired with
powerful A-AAA’s team in the fi
nals.
John Chamberlain, standing 6-2,
was the big gun for A-FA. Cham
berlain was a superb center ac
counting fox 1 eight points and mar
velous on defense. Tommy Daw
son, also 6-2, was another defensive
ace and sank two points. Windel
Reed sank nine points, edging
Chamberlain for the team’s top
slot. Robert Powex^s, and Jack
Harzke sunk three baskets each,
completing the scoring.
Other basketball victoi’ies went
to Sqd. 5, Sqd. 15, B-AAA and
Sqd. 20. Football wins were scored
by A-Inf., Sqd. 15, Sqd. 18, A-Eng.
and C-Infantry.
