Thursday, March 8, 1956 THE BATTALION Page 3 Weather Wins Wednesday Ags Host ’Kats Today By BARRY HART Assistant Sports Editor A&M’s defending Southwest Con ference baseball champions met de feat for the first time in 1956 Wednesday—at the hands of the weather. High winds and rapidly falling temperatures with the advent of a quick norther forced postponement of the Aggies’ scheduled game with the Sam Houston State Bearkets. " Weather obliging, A&M will meet Sam Houston for the second time today at 3 p.m. on Kyle Field. With winds gusting to 40 mph * and the temperature dropping into the 40’s, Coach Beau Bell postponed Wednesday’s game rather than risk having one of his pitchers come down with a sore arm and be forced out of action. The extra day’s rest may bring regular third baseman Joe Worden back into the stalling lineup. Wor den has had an injured leg, but may be able to return^ to action today. If not, he will be replaced by sophomore Lupe Fraga. The remainder of the lineup is unchanged with either Dick Munday or Doug Mullins getting the call to the mound. Munday received credit for A&M’s sea son-opening win over the Bear- kats, 6-3, in Huntsville, giving up three runs and seven hits in the seven innings he worked.

Dorm 16, D-Field Cop Grid Crowns By JOE DAN BOYD Keith Presswood’s outstanding play in civilian football yesterday carried Dorm 16 to a 12-0 win over Leggett Hall and possesion of the grid championship. Clayton Moh- le’s deceptive ball-handling wasn’t enough to check the fired-up Dorm 16 team. A rally by p'owerful A-Engi- neers came far too late in their upperclassman title match with underdog D-FA. Jim Spencer’s artillerymen outplayed the Engi neer team with a consistent aerial attack which came to life in the second half to send them ahead 6-2. Carleton Hazelwood copped the heavyweight wrestling title for the second straight year by decis- ioning Charles Kappelman in yes terday’s wrestling finals. Both grapplers are from Leggett Hall. John Watson of Sqd. 4 won the up perclassman 191-pound title by besting C-Infanrty’s Gene White. Jones wrapped up the 177 bracket for D-Infantry by downing A1 Rial of A-AAA.

Bob McDowell of Leg gett out-grappled C-Infantry’s Dub Bailey for the 157 division crown and Don Schoenfield of Sqd. 17 took the 147 title on a forfeit. Dick Cappel of Sqd. 17 defeated Mitchells’ Billy Steele for 137- pound honors while Don Burchard, defending champion in 130-pound ranks repeated by pinning down C-AAA’s Ted Hrabel.
