College Station (Brazos County) 9 Texas Friday, May 4, 1956 PAGE 3 Aggies Second in Austin Meet t> I A'Vfz> iKi z OfeTTiKiQ err / By BARRY HART Battalion Sports Editor Texas took both ends of last night’s triangular - track meet in Austin as two of their fabulous freshmen stole the spotlight from their varsity brothers. The Longhorns ran roughshod over A&M, and Rice, scoring 82 5/6 points to the Aggies’ 45- • 1/3 and the Owls’ 41-5/6. In the frosh division the Shorthorns to taled 58 to 41 for Victoria Junior College, 28 for Rice, 18 for the Aggie Fish and 17 for the United States Air Force Academy fresh man. The Shorthorn’s Joe Villerrael knocked 1.7 seconds off the nation al freshmen mile mark with a tre mendous 4:10 and the little Steer mile relay team, anchored by Eddie Southern’s 46.4, ran a brilliant 3:14.4 to set a new mile relay rec ord. A crowd of 3,500 watched as the Texas sprinters swept to eight firsts, while Rice was gath ering four and A&M’s Tom Bon- orden garnered the Ags’ only first position—in the shot put. Besides running to a new mile record, Villerrael was the number two man in the mark-making mile relay while Southern took first in the 120-yard high hurdles and ran a leg on the Shorthorns 440-yard relay team. Brooks Patrick and Wally Wilson were the remainder of the mile relay foursome. • A&M’s Frank Madura and Ordnance, Squadron 3 Win In ’Mural Softball Playoffs James Welpman tied for first in the freshmen high jump for the Fish only first place. The Texas Longhorn’s mile re lay team of Lavern Voight, Ralph Rosenberg, Immy Holtz and Jon Totz ran to a new meet record with a 3:14.4 mark, identical with that of their freshmen, to break the mark set in the first meeting this year, 3:14.8. Bobby Whilden turned in his usual sweep of the sprints, win- ^ ning the 100 in 9.5 and the 220 in 21 flat. The Texas men swept all four places in the century. A&M’s improving 440-yard relay team ran second behind the Steers 41.0. VARSITY SUMMARIES INtAvion Takes Mound Against Rice Tonight at Travis Park By RONNIE GREATHOUSE Toby Newton, the Galveston swifty, tries to baffle the bats of Rice’s erratic’ Owls tonight at 8 in Bryan’s Travis Park. A&M will play host to the Owls again tomorrow afternoon on Kyle Field in a doubleheader. Game time tomorrow is 1:30 pan. Newton, a lefthander, is Coach Beau Bell’s choice for the starting mound assignment tonight, while righthander Dick Munday and Paul Lang get the nod tomorrow. Seven lettermen form the nucle us of a Rice team that is currently tied with A&M for fifth and sixth in the Southwest Conference. This will be the first meeting between the two teams this season, and both come into tonight’s contest with 3-6 won-lost records. Opposing Newton on the hill to night will probably be crafty John Wolda. Wolda pitched superb ball last Friday to gain credit for Rice’s 4-2 victory over the University of Texas. The Owls swept the second game of the Texas series also, while the Aggies were dropping two to the SMU Mustangs last weekend at Dallas. Newton is the strikeout artist of the Cadet ball club with 50 whiffs in 43 and two-thirds innings. His record over the season is two wins and three losses. Munday owns a 3-4 won-lost record, while Lang boasts an even two won-two lost slate. TCU meets a hopeful SMU to day in a game that will help decide the conference championship. TCU leads the loop with a record of nine wins and one loss, while the Ponies rank second with a 7-3 mark. Baylor, who smashed Tex as 12-5 yesterday, meets the Long horns again this afternoon at Aus tin to round out this weekend’s ac tivities. • IMtOBABI.K STARTERS A AM John Hoyle . . .

By JOE DAN BOYD Pat Brune held Squadron 17 to four hits as A-Ordnance ground out a 14-4 softball win in upperclass man playoffs. Squadron Three edged Squadron 21 10-9 in a fresh man playoff, rallying in the final inning with six runs. Jerry Harris did a marvelous job as Ordnance catcher and accounted for two of the winning scores. Richard Lott was the top hitter for the winners hitting clean once in the first inning and again in the sixth. The Squadron 17 battery fielded Jim Hutchison on the mound and Dudley Swofford as backstop. A combination of good hitters and six walks limited the Sqd. 17 combi nation as the Ordnance nine rang up five clean hits, but capitalized mostly on walks for their scoring barrage. Brune struck out six men for the lead in that division as Swofford only found three. Alexander Meri-Akri was the winning pitcher in the Sqd. 3-Sqd. 21 match. Meri-Akri allowed no hits until the fifth inning when Sqd. 21’s centerfielder James Car- berry and second baseman Ralph Taylor finally solved his style. Right fielder Bill Wood connected cleanly in the sixth with the other ’21 hit. Johnny New was first, on the mound for Sqd. 21 and was re placed by left fielder Russql Mi nor. Meri-Akri was the first to hit the Sqd. 21 brand of hurling and John Marr, Kyle Parnell, and Gary Proffer also slugged clean into Sqd. 21 field. Bob Langford, first man up for Sqd. 3 drew a walk and racked up the game’s first run when Man- powered him in with a nicely-placed hit. Sqd. 3 maintained a 1-0 lead until Tommy Keith came in on a walk for Sqd. 21 evening things up in the third. In the fourth inning Sqd. 21 capitalized on walks and errors to bring in seven runs. Don. Kirk patrick initiated the volley after advancing on a walk. Dick Cow ley, and Tommy Keith also came in via walk route. 440-yard relay—1) Texas (George Schnei der, Jerry Prewit, Bobby Whilden, J.
