Off to a fast start in its drive
toward a second straight South
west Conference championship,
A&M’s baseball team is currently
engaged in a three-way scrap for
the loop leadership.
Coach Beau Bell’s hustling
Aggies turned back previously
undefeated SMU on Kyle Field
last weekend to join the Univer
sity of Texas and Texas Chris
tian on the conference’s top rung.
TCU leads the loop by a half
game.
Toby Newton, a sophomore left
hander with blinding speed, ex
pressed his thanks for being al
lowed to start the conference open
er against the Mustangs by tossing
a three-hit shut-out. Newton, who
fanned 14 of 18 batters to face him
in the Texas Lutheran game here
last week, stopped the potent
Ponies in flawless fashion.
Newton was backed up by an
equally flawless infield of first
baseman John Hoyle, second sack-
er Dick Bleckner, shortstop Joe
Boring and third baseman Joe
Worden. The Cadet infielders play
ed erroless ball while their SMU

counterparts committed four er
rors, one which allowed the only
run of the ball game.
The Cadets take a rest from con
ference warfare this week, taking
on the pro-Corpus Christi Clippers
at Corpus Christi tomorrow and
Friday. A&M returns to league
action April 3 against Rice’s up-
and-coming Owls at Houston.
A&M’s one-run victory over
Coach Alex Hooks’ Mustangs
marked the fourth successive time
the Aggies had beaten the Dallas
nine by a single run. Last year the
two teams met three times, and
three times the Ags downed the
Ponies by one run. Two of last
season’s games went 11 innings,
including the contest at Dallas
which gave the Aggies the champ
ionship.
The Aggies will carry a season
record of five wins and two losses
into tomorrow’s meeting with the
Clippers of Corpus Christi. Two
games scheduled here this week
against another professional club,
the New Orleans Pelicans, were
cancelled.
Aggie Pistol Team Tied
For Third in Standings
Although A&M’s Pistol Team
downed both the United States
Military Academy and the United
States Naval Academy while win
ning the national pistol 'title, the
Aggies are only tied for third be
hind the two military academies
in the inter-collegiate competition.
The Aggies are 97^’^ bem.,u
leading West Point and 42 behind
runner-up Annapolis with the U.
S. Merchant Marine Academy in
fifth place and the U. S. Coast.
Guard Academy in seventh posi
tion. At present the fifth and
sixth matches have been completed
and the entire competition will be
over within four weeks.
The matches are run on a
postal system with the targets
used by the various teams being
mailed to the U. S. Revolver As
sociation where the scores are com
puted.

V-8 WINS CLASS A
*
In this year’s Economy Run a new’ Ford
V-8, with Fordomatic, was the official
victor over every car in its field, with
3 Winning average of 47.7643 ton-miles
per gallon. This means that the sturdier,
heavier Ford carried more weight, with
greater gas economy per pound, than any
car in its field.
This latest Ford victory was scored
over a rough and rigorous 1,468.8-mile
route running from Los Angeles to
Colorado Springs. Through the heat
of Death Valley and over chilling
mountain heights . . . through gas

Tht "Ion-mile’’ formula is used by contest officials to insure equal chance for all cars in each class,

line open road . . . Ford proved anew
its traditional reputation for economi
cal performance.
The winning Ford was a regular-
production model taken right from the
assembly line. It was no different than
thousands of ’56 Fords you see on the
road and in dealer’s showrooms. This
proves that Ford, the Performance,
Style and Safety leader, leads in Econ

reasons why the ’56 Ford is worth more

and when you sell it, too!
