Battalion Sports Editor
A&M opens its 41st Southwest
Conference baseball season here
Saturday against SMU, and if
past scores are any criteria, this
should be one of the most exciting
games of the season.
Coach Beau Bell’s Aggies nip
ped the Ponies three times last
year and all three games were de
cided by a single run, two of them
going 11 innings. SMU was run
ner-up to the SWC champion Ag
gies last year.
SMU’s undefeated Mustangs
come into Saturday’s game sport
ing the conference’s most outstand
ing record, holding eight straight
wins over non-conference oppon-

BARNEY WELCH, A&M INTRAMURAL DIRECTOR
Former Grid Star
Heads Ag 9 Murals
By BARRY HART
Assistant Sports Editor
Once the leader of A&M foot
ball teams, Barney Welch now di
rects one of the largest intramural
athletic programs in the world.
“We took a survey last fall that
indicated 78 per cent of the stu
dents enter into at least one sport”
said Welch. “I’m sure we have the
largest percentage, of students
competing in our program of any
school in the world.”
Welch, captain of the Aggie
team in 1947, holds the distinction
of being the first Aggie to ever
cross the goal line against the Uni
versity of Texas in Memorial Stad
ium. As a sophomore, Barney
scoi’ed A&M’s only touchdown on
Thanksgiving day, 1942, as the
Cadets fell before Texas, 13-6.
World War II put a slight delay
into Barney’s college football ca
reer, however, with 20 months in
the European action, including the
Battle of the Bulge and three bat
tle stars, between football seasons.
Oddly enough, Welch never par
ticipated in intramural sports as
an undei’graduate at A&M.
“Playing football never gave me
much of a chance to enter into the
intramural pi’ogi’am,” said Barney,
“and even after the season was
over I devoted my spare time to
my wife and young son.
Welch and his wife, Jane, were
married in 1943 while Barney was
