Saturday at Kyle Field
Aggies To Battle Froggies
Friday Night at Travis Park
League leading Texas A&M and
runner-up Texas Christian meet in
a crucial Southwest conference
baseball series Friday and Satur
day before the home folk.
The Aggies and TCU tangle Fri
day night at Travis Park in Bryan
in a night contest starting at 8.
The Saturday afternoon game on
Kyle field will begin at 2.
The Aggies were rained out at
Houston Tuesday and ‘ the three
Rice games now will be played at
Bryan and College Station May 4
and 5. The May 4 Rice game will
be another night contest at Bryan
while the two teams play a double-
header May 5 on Saturday after
noon on Kyle field.
A&M has two other games sched
uled for Travis park under the
lights. They are the two Baylor
games of April 13 and 14.
The Aggies divided a pair with
the Corpus Christi Clippers of the
Big State league over the holidays.
The Clippers shelled four Aggie
hurlers for 14 hits in winning the
first game, 15-8, but Dick Munday,
righthander from Bryan, pitched
A&M past the Clippers, 5-2 in the
Friday night game at Corpus.

into the SWC leadership Tuesday
while their Rice game was post
poned due to wet grounds. SMU’s
win over TCU and Baylor’s upset
of Texas sent A&M into the lead
with a 1-0 record. TCU and Bay
lor are tied for second with 2-1
records while Texas is fourth with
a 1-1 mark.
The Aggies stand G-3 for the
season having divided games with
Corpus Christi, University of Hous
ton and Texas Lutheran, beaten
Sam Houston State twice and SMU
once.
The hitting of Outfielders Phil
Newport and Behn Hubbard at
Corpus cheered Bell's hopes for be
ing a strong contender to repeat
as SWC champions. The Aggie
coach has had trouble finding the
big hitters in the outfield and if
Newport and Hubbard continue to
wield a big stick the outfield will
be set along with the veteran John
Stockton.
Another note of progress during
the holidays was the way Munday
regained his 1955 form. The Ag
gie junior has been belted around
in his first three mound appearan
ces this season but looked great in
limiting the Clippers to just six
hits. He has walked only five in
24 innings and his earned lam av
erage dropped to 3.7.
Toby Newton, the ace lefthander
from Galveston, after the beauti
fully pitched 1-0 shutout over SMU,
was wild at Corpus and walked
seven in the five and a third innings
he worked before being chased by
Corpus in the first game. He was
hit for five runs, all earned, and
his ERA went quickly from zero
to 1.8.
Bell will have several relief hurl-

'the “pick of the pros”—SPALDING’
You’ll stop a lot of horsehide with either of these fine"
Spalding gloves. These are the very same gloves used
by two great names in baseball—Alvin Dark,* short
stop captain of the New York Giants and Phil
^izzuto,* veteran shortstop of the New York Yankees.
Both these gloves are made with the finest leather,
deep grease pocket and solid web in trap. You don’t
have to break them in; Spalding does that for you. You
can see the complete Spalding line of fine gloves at
your Spalding dealer’s, now.
A list of what and what not to
do in contacting prospective A&M
athletes has been drawn up for
former students by Dr. Chris H.
Groneman, A&M’s representative
to the Southwest Conference Fac
ulty Committee.
“Most of the trouble at A&M
has been traced to former stu
dents,” Dr. Groneman said in the
list which was printed in “The Tex
as Aggie”, official publication of
the Former Students Association.
“We must remember that an
athletic contest is only a game, not
a matter of life or death,” the story
read.
The list outlined procedures for
contacting high school athletes
that would help coaches, and allow
the boy to maintain his amateur
standing. Suggestions in the list
include the following:
“Attend as many high school
contests as possible, and forward
all information on good prospects
to the A&M coaching staff.
“Do not contact a boy until the
coaching staff has requested it, and
do not bring boys to A&M without
permission of the coaches.
“Give no gifts of any kind to
prospective athletes, except on spe
cial occasions to old family friends.
This includes money, goods, or ex
cessive entertainment.
“Financial aid to athletes is lim
ited, by the Conference, to standard
scholarships, which include room,
board, tuition, institutional fees
and $10 per month for incidental
expenses.”
“The best policy for ex-students
interested in helping the school
should be ‘Don’t do anything with
out contacting the coaches at
A&M”, said Groneman.
