At present there are 25 candi dates for the freshman team with Gerald Walling, catcher from Masters Tourney Is Biggest Ever AUGUSTA, Ga., t/P)—The biggest of all Masters Golf Tournaments gets underway today with a field of 102 ama teurs and professionals and without one player who can be singled out as the favorite. The Masters started in 1934 as a rather informal golf party for Bob Jones and some of his friends, played on a then new course which was des tined to become one of the great tests of golfing skill. 1 Since then the tournament has grown in size and stature until it has become one of the most important of the season-re garded by many golfers as equal in importance to the U. S. Open cham pionship. And the big, beautiful Augusta National Course has ma tured so that the greatest skill find endurance are required to win on it. This year’s entry list passed a milestone when more than 100 golfers, the pick of the amateur and professional crop in the Unit ed States and four foreign nations, ^ indicated they would start. The previous high was 84 starters last year. The 100-plus total was assured today when Ed Furgol, Bob Ros- burg and Gardner Dickinson, all troubled by painful injuries, said they would try to play. Invitations to the Masters are gained only by past achieve ments. They go to former Open Amateur and Masters champions the top players in previous major tournaments and members of in ternational teams. Ten foreign players were invited on the basis of performance. Some of the leading winter tour performers can’t make it and few of the old timers don’t really belong in top flight competition.

Carroll, right- fielder from College Station, nail ing down starting berths. Wall ing' is considered an outstanding prospect at catcher and was a fine hitter in high school. A battle is on for starting berths at the other positions. Bill Houchin, lefthander from Byrd High of Shreveport, and Sam De Gelia of Hearne are strongest contenders for the first base job. Third base is a fight at present between Joseph Wood of Dallas Adamson and James Turpin of Port Arthur with three candidates out standing in the tussle for the left field slot in Ronald Green of Aus tin McCallum, Charles Graf of Ver non and Bill Clifford of Dunkirk, N.

Worth looking for a needed pair of league victories. After blowing a game each to the University of Texas and Baylor, A&M hopes to get off their Good Samaritan binge and play the type of ball they’re capable of. The Longhorns capitalized on Cadet errors to score seven un earned runs and take an 8-4 decision on Kyle Field two weekends ago while The Aggies gave one of two contests to the Baptists only one strike away from victory. The Horned Frogs and Texas are currently leading the SWC with identical, 3-0, records. TCU returns six regulars, including hard-hitting center- SECOND-SACKER—Doug (Moon) Mullins who switched from the pitchers’ mound to the infield in this, his senior season. Mullins has collected five hits in 23 times to the plate for a .217 average and has handled 18 chances with one error—a .957 percentage.

LOIS BETHEA, Notary Public Braves yesterday as the two Na tional League contenders battled to a 2-2 tie in the opening game of their northward road show. Bobby Thomson and Johnny Lo gan smacked home runs off Newk, who had walloped one of his own off Ray Crone-a 25-year-old right hander who dealt the defending champs only four hits in his nine innings. A single by Duke Snider, a walk and Gino Cimoli’s single scored the other Dodger run. Newcombe worked the first six innings with Clem Labine wrap ping it up. Corky Valentine pitched the 10th for thp Braves who called it quits with the Dodgers at Jack sonville to get started on their trip to San Antonio for the second meeting in the eight-game series. Elsewhere, three fourth inning home runs gave* the Washington Senators a 4-3 victory over the Cincinnati Redlegs; southpaw Harvey Haddix lined a three-run dou ble as the Philadelphia Phillies knocked off the Boston Red Sox 3-1; rookie Jim Landis delivered a two-run homer that helped the Chicago White Sox beat the New York Yankees 8-4; the Pittsburgh Pirates, despite just four hits, defeated Kansas City A’s 2-0; Detroit’s Tigers scored three in the 10th to bump the St. Louis Cardi nals 8-5; Cleveland packed nine runs into the seventh inning to bang the New York Giants 13-6, and the Chicago Cubs bopped the Baltimore Orioles 6-2. The Senators, held hitless for 3 2-3 innings by Warren Hacker, finally got the job done on home runs by Roy Sievers, Bob Lemon and Clint Courtney, with Whitey Herzog singling ahead of Court ney’s blast. The Redlegs got all their runs in the first, with Wally Post hitting a two-run homer, off Evelio Hernandez. Two singles and a walk set the Haddix’ big blow against Boston’s Frank Sullivan in the second in ning. The little lefty then gave up three walks and Frank Malzone’s RBI single in the third before set tling down again as the Phils made it 11-1 vs. American League teams this spring. Landis’ home run capped a four-run third for the White Sox, who had snapped a string of 21 scoreless innings by Yankee righthander Tom Sturdivant in the first frame. Fairbanks at 3:30 p.m. Friday on Tiger Field. Either Alton Arnold or Edgar Feldman is slated to start on the mound for Consolidated. The Tigers boast four wins to go with three losses at the hands of AAA ball clubs, scoring 47 runs on 37 hits in the four game streak. Arnold, whose won-lost record of 2-2 is not outstanding, has pitched 25 innings and recorded the phenomenal total of 54 strike outs over that stretch. Unearned runs have led to his downfall. Feldman has met the same fate, posting a 2-1 record, though not allowing an earned run in his 18 innings pitched. The Tiger shortstop, John Mar tinez, leads the club in hitting with a .368 batting average. fielder, Carl Warwick, expec ted to win all-league honors. Coach Dutch Meyer calls War wick “. . . a big league pros pect.” The Froggies turned in a 13-2 record in 1956 and their first crown since 1933. Coach Bell’s Aggies stand 1-2 in league action and 2-5 for the sea son. Weak at the plate a year ago, A&M finds their base hits coming at the right time, but costly errors are more than offsetting the runs- batted-in. The Maroon are batting .231 as a team as compared with .212 a year ago. A pair of sophomores, catcher Gary Herrington and thirdbaseman Wendell Reed, pace the Aggie bat ters with .320 percentages. Both have slapped out eight hits in 25 trips to the plate. Reed has driven in three runs to take second to Jim Smotherman’s seven in that depart ment. Smotherman has nine hits in 32 times at bat for a .281 average. Sophomore burler Donnie Hullum owns the best Maroon ERA—post ing a fine 1.68 mark. Hullum, al though he has won none and lost one, has pitched 21 % innings and given up only four earned runs. The relief ace has struck out 14. Galveston’s fine little leftie, Toby Newton, shows a 1-1 record with 26 strikeouts in 22 innings. Newton has a 3.26 ERA and pro bably will get the nod tomorrow in Ft. Worth.
