Only One Basketballer Aggies Sign 16 High School Stars Unofficial announcements of the signing of several high school athletes by the A&M athletic department to let ters of intent have leaked out from newspaper sources across the state. The 1956 Southwest Conference champion Aggies have cornered 15 prospects in football, and, one outstanding bas ketball prospect. It is not the policy of the Athletic Depart ment to release these names and their signing of letters-of- intent or scholarship agreements cannot be confirmed. Those reported as planning to attend A&M are quarter back Jerry Rogers and end Thomas Moore of Navasota; six- man footballer Jerry Peveto from Orangefield, regarded as a terrific prospect; tackles Jack White and Arthur Lan dry of Port Arthur; center Bill Zaleski and halfback Bill Bkyant of Temple; center Tommy Morris of Houston San Jacinto; tackle Bobby Greenwood, two-year all-stater . from Lake Charles, La.; center David DeCor- dova, fullback David Wilson and tackle Charley "Cummings of Beau mont High; end Nolan Adams of Port Neches and halfback Ronnie Martell of Orange: Elliot Craig is the basketball player and was an outstanding starter on district champion teams at Beaumont’s French High. Craig is a 6-1 guard and playmaker. B U L L E T I N HOUSTON, d*)—Randy Sims, Houston’s leading schoolboy football scorer last fall, will join the Texas Aggies in September. The Stephen F. Austin High School two-sport letterman said Wednesday he would sign an Aggie letter of intent after base ball season. With big name stars going else where, it seems that the A&M re cruiting story will be as in 1956, one of quantity in high school un knowns. Rogers, the Navasota quarter back, was an all-district choice in football and basketball and was the leading ground-gainer for the Rattlers with 1,100 yards. He scored 67 points, did the punting for the Rattlers and as a part-time defensive halfback, in tercepted eight passes. A recipient of 26 of those pass es was Thomas Moore, three-year letterman end and a 1956 AA all stater for the Rattlers. Moore, a 6-1, 185-pounder, scored nine touchdowns and gained 310 yards on his pass receptions. End Nolan Adams of Port Ne ches, an all-stater in 1955 when the Indians won the AAA state championship, was not considered large enough for college ball, but after a year’s layoff he grew up and now stands 6-3 and weighs 195. Zaleski was all-district at Tem ple and honorable mention all- state. He has been selected to play in the Texas High School all-star game in San Antonio in August. Bryant has announced that he plans to attend A&M and will sign as soon as the high school baseball season is over. Morris, the center from Houston, was a two-year letterman at San Jacinto. He weighs 198 and is 6-2 Pa. WHITE “WINDSOR WALKERS” (You have to see them to appreciate them.) CHEAP! COMFORTABLE! HARD to WEAR OUT!

Tomori'ow’s encounter is sche duled for 3 p.m. with the second game at 2 Saturday. Both the Ponies and the Aggies find themselves in a tie with the Rice Owls for the conference base ment with 1-4 records. The Ca dets of Coach Beau Bell, after hav ing handed four league games to three foes, will be without the ser vices of sophomore hurler Donnie Hullum, the Baytown righthand er. Hullum was hit on the left el bow by a pitched ball in Wednes day’s practice and will be out for at least two weeks with a bone chip. This leaves Bell with only two proven pitchers — portsider Toby Newton and Captain Dick Munday. Backing them up are Paul Lang (0-2) and sophomore Bo Paradow- ski, who has thrown only two in nings and owns a 9.00 ERA. SMU brings into town a team with probably the lowest batting average in the league. The Mus tangs are stroking the ball at a meager .169 percentage. Only one regular, first-baseman Don Car ter, has more than a .300 average. Carter has seven hits in 18 at bats for a fine .388 mark. The Mustangs’ only win is at the expense of the cellar-sharing Owls while they have lost twice to Texas and once each to Rice and TCU. A&Mi, on the other hand, has seen four games fly out the win dow, with their only victory against Baylor. Practically out of the pennant race, the Maroon is hitting the ball better than in many years past and still have one of the top teams in the league, despite their four losses. Newton will probably get the nod tomorrow. The Galveston lef- tie has a 1-1 record, but sports a Fish Batter Allen With 17 Hits, 15-6 A&M’s Fish won another nesday, defeating the Allen Bryan’s Travis Park. Fish batters had a field pitchers for 17 hits, including Centerfielder Jess Foster in six trips and slammed out a double. Firstbaseman Bill Houchin blasted out three hits in six tries, one a triple, and had two runs batted in. Power in the Fish batting order was supplied by Dink Patterson, second-baseman from North Dal las, who hammered a single, doub le and triple in five trips to the plate and batted in three runs. Percy Sanderson was the starter on the mound for Coach Les Palm er’s freshmen and went the route to gain credit for the. win. Law rence Kuhl started on the mound for the Ramblers and absorbed the loss, being relieved by Jack Arnold in the seventh. Though being credited with the win, Sanderson, for the most part was ineffective throughout. He al lowed six hits, walked nine and struck out seven. In fact, about the only thing Sanderson did not nightmare baseball game Wed- Academy Ramblers, 15-6, in day, teeing off on two Allen seven extra-base blows, led Fish batters with four hits do was make an error, and posted marks in the score book for being left on base, hitting a batter, toss ing a wild pi t ch, batting two for six and batting in a run. One of his hits was a double. The Fish scored three times in the first inning only to see the Ramblers tie it up with three coun ters in the last of the third. Scor ing four in the fourth, the Fish took a lead that they were never to relinquish. Other hitters for the Fish were James Turpin with two for six and an RBI; Gerald Walling with two for six and a double and two RBIs. J. B. Carroll doubled for his only hit. Only one starter for the Fish failed to hit. Line Score: Fish . . 300 413 202—15 17 3 Allen . 003 020 001— 6 8 9 Sanderson and Walling. Kuhl, Arnold (7) and Murray, Smith.

Ed Dudley, who recently joined the Aggie nine at the end of spring football training, will prob ably start in the outfield for the first time. Dudley, the Pampa junior who had scouts raving about him as a freshrhan, didn’t play much in 1956, but his big bat could help. Three Cadet regulars are past ing the ball at a better-than-.300 clip.
