Ags, Longhorns Tangle
Here Today at 3 p.m.
A&M and Texas renew their an
cient rivalry here today at 3 p.m.
on Kyle Field in the season finale
for both teams.
BULLETIN: Today’s same
between A&M and the Univer
sity of Texas on Kyle Field
has been postponed until to
morrow oi* Thursday.
* Toby Newton, the rifle-armed
lefthander from Galveston, will toe
the mound for the Cadets today
against the Longhorns. Newton, a
sophomore, comes into the contest
with a 3-4 won-lost record.
The Aggies, currently fifth in
Southwest Conference standings,
boast a record of five wins and
nine setbacks against league op
ponents. The Steers hold down the
rear in the SWC race with three
victories and 11 defeats, and con-
not improve their standing even
with a win over the Ags today.
A&M, on the other hand, can
gain a fourth place tie with Rice,
which has already finished its
schedule, with a victory over their
arch enemy- In a previous meet
ing this season at Austin, the Ag
gies and Longhorns split a two-
game series, with A&M winning
the first 5-4 and Texas the second
by an identical score.
Opposing Newton on the hill will
probably be sophomore righthand
er Harry Taylor or junior righty
Oren Buckellew. Taylor has picked
up two of the Longhorns five wins
over the season, and so far has
been the main stay of a none too
stable Texas mound staff.
Texas Christian, the SWC champ,
wound up its season in a true
championship form last weekend by
clobbering the Aggies, 19-4 at Fort
Worth. The Horned Frogs will
meet Arizona at Tucson next week
in a thi’ee-game series to decide
the District 6 representative in
the NCAA tourney. The TCU rec
ord of 13 wins and two losses
against SWC teams is identical to
the mark posted by the champion
Aggies last season.
Southern Methodist and Baylor
are deadlocked for second place in
the conference-
