With Texas, Rice Tonight
Aggie Golfers
Finish Second
In S WC Chase
A&M’s fine golf team came
within reach of the Southwest
Conference title this week, but
once again it was powerful
SMU who walked away with
the crown.
The Aggies, who finished second
behind the Mustangs last year, put
on a determined drive in the final
stages of the conference race only
to see their hopes dashed with
SMU’s crushing 6-0 victory over
Rice Monday.
A&M lost to the University of
Texas, 4-2, at Austin Tuesday, but
the match meant little as SMU had
already cinched the championship.
SMU had 31% wins and 4 1 / 4 losses
against conference competition,
while the Cadets finished second
with 26 wins and 10 defeats. Tex
as was third with a 23%-1214 rec
ord.
Member’s of Coach Joe Fagan’s
crew, four of whom will compete
in the SWC tournament at Fay
etteville, Ark. May 11-12, include
Jerry Durbin, Bobby Nichols, Mar-
celino Moreno, David Vandervoort,
Gary Fletcher, Dick Chapman,
Jim Christopher, Stuart Nuckols,
and Harry Stietler.
Vandervoort, a 21-year-old Dairy
Manufacturing major from Dallas,
is the only senior on the team.

GOLF STANDINGS
*► While TCU and SMU are making
a two-team race out of the South
west Conference derby, A&M tries
to hit the .500 mark this weekend
with three games against the Rice
Owls.
The Aggies open the series
with a game Friday night in
Bryan’s Travis Park at 8. Sat
urday afternoon the same two
clubs square off again on Kyle
Field in a doubleheader that be
gins at 1:30.
All three games will be import
ant from the standpoint of A&M
and Rice, as both are currently
tied for fifth and sixth in SWC
standings. The Cadets and Owls
stand 5% games out of first place
with identical 3-6 won-lost records.
A meeting between the two teams
was postponed earlier in the sea
son because of bad weather.
The Owls were surprisingly
potent against cellar dwelling
Texas last weekend, spanking the

gether in Fayetteville, May 11-12.
The Aggies will be out to even
things up on this year’s “big three”
meets. The Longhorns sprinted
their way to victory in the first
affair wuth Rice second and A&M
third. The Cadets have beaten the
Owls twice already this season,
but as yet haven’t placed ahead of
the Texas thunderers.
“We hope to beat Rice Thurs
day,” said head track coach Frank
Anderson. “We can if we turn in
the performances we’re capable of
doing.”
As usual, the Steers^ rely on
their -teriffic array of speedsters
and middle distance men. The Tex

night in Dallas, finishing second
behind Texas in 41.9. The Aggie
crew of Emmett Smallwood, Bob

Ken Hall placed a step-behind the
Longhorn team, who turned in

The Aggies will be favored in
the field events, hoping their

By JOE BOYD
C-Tnfantry copped a semi-final
berth last night in a nine-inning
pitcher’s duel with Squadron 10.
Bill Boyd, speedy infantry second
baseman, placed a short single over
the Sqd. 10 third sacker and cleared
a path for George Johnson’s tie
breaking score to edge the airmen,
2-1.
Infantry pitcher Norman Mor
rison struck out thirteen men al
lowing no hits until the seventh
inning when the airman center
fielder Bob Brown caught on for a
double. Brown climaxed the in
ning with a complete ch'cuit to tie
up the contest.
Ray Bowen allowed only five
hits for Squadron 10 and struck out
seventeen infantry softballers with
his deceptive mound strategy. Jake
Lyon was the first to solve Bowen’s
style with a single in the second
and converted the opportunity into
an early infantry lead when short
stop Don Fai-ek caught on with a
double.
The infantry nine displayed su
perb fielding and as a whole the
entire team exhibited a confident
cagey batting form, adapting well
to Bowen’s fine hurling. They
should give someone trouble in
further playoffs.
A-Ordnance edged Squadron 17
in a freshman playoff game 13-12
with second baseman Anton Stacha
and center fielder Jimmy Best
heading the slugging list.
Longhorns 4-2 and 7-3 at Hous
ton. A&M, on the other hand,
absorbed two defeats at the
hands of second place SMU, 1-4
and 5-4, in a series at Dallas.
Centerfielder John Stockton’s ex
plosive bat continues to be an im
portant asset to the Aggie nine.
Against SMU last Saturday he
knocked in all four A&M runs with
two doubles to pace the Cadets at
the plate.
Pitcher Tobf Newton, who was
unable to start against the Pon
ies last Friday because of illness,
should be able to take his turn on
the mound this weekend and will
no doubt bolster the Cadets’ al
ready fine corps of moundsmen.
