To Stay in ’Mural Top Spot
A&M’s chances for a second con
secutive Southwest Conference
baseball title seem very dim indeed
this week after splitting a two-
game affair with Texas’ languid
Longhorns at Austin last weekend.
Texas Christian’s powerful Frog
gies pulled further out in front of
the fast-thinning pack by downing
hapless Rice nine, 5-0. TCU stands
two full games in front of SMU
and Baylor, now tied for second
place in conference standings with
5-3 won-lost records.
Despite dividing the Austin se
ries, the Aggies held on to their
fourth place spot and at present
have three 'wins to show against
four losses. Baylor, in a surprise
display of strength, downed SMU’s
Mustangs, strong pre-season fa
vorites to cop league laurels.
John Stockton, A&M’s all-con
ference centerfielder, broke out of
his four-game batting slump
against the Steers by blasting two
Qualify for State
Four Tigers Win
Regional Crowns
By winning their events in the
regional meet in Houston last Sat
urday, Jo Ann Walker, Margaret
Manthei, Betty Meade and Dick
Hickman will represent A&M Con
solidated at the State meet in Aus
tin May 3, 4, 5.
The three Tigerettes swept to
the tennis crown with Miss Walker
winning the singles title and Miss
es Manthei and Meade combining
to capture the doubles champion
ship. Hickman took the 880-yard
run in the track meet.
After sweeping two matches,
Miss Walker battered Peggy Mills
of Anahuac, 6-2, 6-3, to walk away
with the singles crown.
The Manthei-Meade duo drew a
bye in the first round, won a three-
set second round and then downed
Gwen Anderson and Ginger Hare,
6-4, 3-6, 6-2, to take the doubles
title.
Hickman became the only Tiger
thinlyclad to place in the regional
fiasco when he ran to first in the
880 with a fine 2:05.2.
The Consolidated golf team of
Jerry Holland, Louis Leighton,
Steadman Davis and Bill Lewis fin
ished the same as they-did in the
district race, second behind Tom-
ball, in the regional links meet.
Winner Tomball shot a 533, while
the Tigers had a 571.
Holland, Leighton and Davis shot
140’s for CHS, while Lewis had a
151. Tomball’s Mike Higgins was
medalist with a 125. The Tomball
foursome will go to the state meet.

Aggie runs.
Stockton, who had only one hit
in 13 tries against SWC competi
tion before Friday, led the Cadets
in hitting with a .375 mark and
raised his batting average more
than 100 percentage points.
Paul Lang, junior righthander,
relieved starter Toby Newton Fri
day and received credit for A&M’s
5-4 triumph. Lang now has a 2-1
record. Dick Munday went all the
way Saturday in an 11-inning con
test that saw the Longhorns eke
out their first win in eight games.
Little Dick Bleckner, 5-7 Aggie
second baseman, got the Aggies
longest extra-base blow of the
weekend with a triple Friday. First
sacker John Hoyle, a flawless field
er, got two hits in eight times at
bat, drove in a run and scored one
himself against Texas.

Jack Mitchell yesterday greeted 21
returning lettermen in a squad of
around 80 as spring football prac
tice opened at the University of

It rained in the forenoon, forcing
postponement of a scheduled var
sity baseball game, but the grid
iron drills started as scheduled on
a muddy field.
Mitchell put his charges through
a lot of running and a little bit of
everything else.

What young people are doing at General Electric
Young chemical
engineer works
on new ways.
to make silicones
Silicones are a new class of man-made chemi
cals with very unusuai properties. Made from
sand, they assume the form of rubber, grease,
oil and resin. Under extremes of heat and
cold, the rubber stays rubbery, the oil oily.
Silicones added to fabrics make them excep
tionally water-repellent. Silicone makes
waxes spread easier . . . paints almost imper
vious to weather.
One of the men responsible for finding new
ways to produce silicone products is 26-year-
old Frank V. Summers.
Summers’ Work Interesting, Important ,
As process engineer of the Silicone Products
Department, Trank Summers first compares
the results of small-scale, pilot-plant experi
ments with the production methods in actual
use. Then, using his own knowledge of
chemical-engineering principles, he designs
faster, more efficient and more economical
methods of producing silicone products.
Frank Summers’ excellent training, diversi
fied experience and outstanding personal
qualifications nuake him a valuable contribu
tor to this engineering team.
25,000 College Graduates at General Electric
When Frank Summers came to General
Electric in 1949, he already knew the kind
of work he wanted to do. Like each of our
25,000 college-graduate employees, he was
given his chance to grow and realize his full
potential. For General Electric has long be
lieved this: WTien.ever fresh young minds are
given the freedom to make progress, every
body benefits —t:he individual, the company,
and the country.
