A ticket pocket is the crowning point of the modern
"polished look". It is both eye-intriguing and finger-tip
convenient for tickets, keys or coins. Ticket pockets,
long a favorite subject of Varsity-Town designing skill,
are a featured detail on many of our newest suits.

Ex-Big Leaguer Producer
Of A&M Baseball Champs
By BILL BLASINGAME
Battalion Guest Writer
Ironically, Roy “Beau” Bell,
A&M’s head baseball coach, played
more basketball in his undergrad
uate years as an Aggie than he
did baseball.
Although Bell lettered three
times in basketball as compared
with two years on the diamond, his
fame came from hitting the ball
and he was all-Southwest Confer
ence right fielder both years.
As a fly-chaser, Beau led the
confei’ence in hitting during his
senior year. An exceptionally good
eye brought his collegiate average
.474 that year. His homer in
the final game of the season gave
A&M the SWC crown.
After college Bell played major
league ball for the St. Louis
Browns, Cleveland Indians and New
York Giants. In his best big
league season he hit .344.
Three of Beau’s all-conference
products of last year, Jimmy Wil
liams, Joe Hardgrove and Jerry
Nelson all signed with major
league teams and are in organized
ball now.
Coach Bell has won two league
titles in his six years coaching the
Aggies. Of this season’s team he

in 3:12.4. Gross could break the
170’ record set by ex-Aggie, Dar-
row Hooper in 1953.
THE TEXAS SHORTHORNS,
paced by brilliant Eddie Southern
and fine distance man Joe Villar-
i-eal, should walk away with the
freshman division honors. One of
the outstanding freshman perform
ances is expected to be turned in
by S.M.U.’s Don Stewart, whose
6’10!4” leap is the nation’s best
mark this year.
Head Coach Frank Anderson and
Assistant Coach Ray Putnam left
College Station by bus yesterday
morning with a total of 22 varsity
and 7 freshman thinlyclads. The
varsity entrants making the trip
are Ed Blake, Bonorden, Eddie
Bussa, Bobby Carter, James Clark,
Bill Cocke, Fritzie Connally, Harry
Cox, Dale ElmoTe, Gross, Helvey,
Kenneth Hall, Bill Holloway, James
Jackson, Herman Johnson, Bob Mc-
Knight, Lee Newman, Johnny Rob

Southwest Conference baseball
championship in 23 years as they
swamped the University of Texas,
9-1, last Tuesday.
That victory gave the Frogs
their 12th victory against two de
feats and left them two and one-
half games ahead of second-place
Southern Methodist in conference
play. Saturday’s game will be the
final for TCU in conference play,
but on May 21 they meet the Uni
versity of Arizona in the first of a
three game series to decide which
will represent District 6 in the
NCAA baseball championships.
The Aggies will be trying for
their first victory over TCU in
three starts this season. The Frogs
surpassed the Aggies in both pre
vious tilts, heating them by a score
of 5-1 in the first game and blank
ing them 2-0 in the second.
Coach Bell said Thursday that
the probable starting pitcher for
the Aggies Saturday will be Dick
Munday. Munday holds a 4-4 sea
son record on the mound and 2-3
conference record. Munday has a
2.7 earned run average in confer
ence play. The Aggies will be
looking forward to a great deal of
help from the bat of Joe Boring,
who, in the last four games, knock
ed in eight runs with four round-
trippers and one triple.
The Aggies will be going into the
game Saturday with a 10-12 season
record and a 5-8 conference record
in games won and lost thus far.
