Ags Lead S\V C
Wonder
&
By BARRY HART
With three hitters in the South
west Conference top 10, and lead
ing the team batting, A&M’s nine
takes on the SMU Mustangs on
Kyle Field at 3 p. m. today wonder
ing why they’re tied for the cellar.
Coach B,eau Bell’s Aggies, sport
ing a 1-4 record, lead the league in
hitting with a .267 mark while the
Ponies trail the other five cl^t/s
with a dismal .169 average. Short
stop Lupe Fraga stands third in
the conference at the plate with
five hits in 12 at bats for a .417
mark. Behind him are soph catcher
Gary Harrington (.333) and in
fielder Wayne Balke (.333).
Sophomore righthander Don
nie Hullum, who was reported
out for at least two weeks
with an injured elbow, has
responded to treatment and
will be available for duty
against SMU. Hullum sup
posedly had a bone chip on his
left elbow, but after further
investigation, it was diagnosed
as torn cartilage.
The Aggies find themselves in
fourth position defensively with a
.952 fielding percentage, but their
errors seem to be more on the
mental, rather than physical, side.

’ Big Word in Detroit
1957 Pennant Vocabulary
DETROIT, UP) — The Detroit
Tigers are just as much of an
“if” team now as they were when
they started spring training six
weeks ago.
If they get solid second-line
pitching, if Bill Tuttle can regain
his stride in centerfield, if Red
Wilson and Frank House can han
dle the catching chores in big
league style and if someone can
play third base, they’ll jell into
the first division club everyone ex
pects them to be.
With a fast start in the 1957
