Aggies Whip 5-2 Newton Hurls Win, Brilliant in Clutch By JIM CARRELL The brilliant clutch pitching of southpaw Toby Newton and Donnie Hullum found timely hitting of another pitcher, Dick Munday, providing excellent support and the Aggie baseballers rebounded from a seven-game losing streak with a rousing 5-2 victory over the Baylor Bears on Kyle Field yes terday. Newton, the Galveston junior, turned in his best per formance to date, twice pitching himself out of the hole and fanning 10 batters in six innings. He scattered seven Bay lor hits and walked only four. Wendell Reed led Aggie hitters with two singles and a double but yielded hitting honors to Baylor’s Jerry Mallett who singled three times and TENSE Moment FOR A&M BATTERY—Lefty Toby Newton and catcher Gary Herrington, finding the bases loaded and none out, paw the dirt and talk things over in the fourth inning of yesterday’s game against Baylor. Newton then acquitted himself by striking out the side and A&M won 5-2.

THURSDAY, MAY 9, 7:30 Adults $1.00 — Students 50c Lighted Softball Diamond also doubled. Munday, play ing first base, hammered out a two-run homer in the fifth. The victory brings A&M’s conference record to 2-7 and the Bears’ third SWC defeat places them closer to elimination and Tex as nearer the title with only one loss. The Aggies, though outhit by the Bears 10-9, got the hits when they counted, and broke out with two nans in the second that end ed 34 scoreless innings. Opening scoring in the second, the Aggies combined two hits with two errors for the two runs. Lupe Fraga beat out an infield hit to short, Joe Worden struck out and Newton hit one by the first base- man for an error. Reed singled to center with Fraga holding at third. Behn Hubbard hit a ball to sel- ond for what looked like an easy double play, but Reed’s slide into the bag threw the shortstop off balance and Donnell Berry erred on the throw at first with NeWton and Fraga scoring. Hubbard was tag ged at third for the third out. In the third, Fraga hit a ground ball to third and advanced to sec ond on a wild throw. Worden sin gled over second to drive in Fraga and Newton grounded but to end the inning. Brilliant pitching by Newton in the fourth quelled a Baylor upris ing after giving up a single, hit ting a batter and walking another to load the bases. The curveballing Newton took only 12 pitches to strike out the side with none out. Fred Marberry fished for a high third strike, Bob by Jones went down swinging and Bobby Jack Oliver missed three straight pitches to end the inning.

The burden of Newton’s clutch pitching began to tell in the sixth, and in the seventh with men on first and second, Hullum, a fast balling righthander from Baytown, came on in relief. Then Hullum was too tough for the Bears, with only Davis reach ing first, that on a scratch single that bounded over Reed’s head at third in the ninth. Hullum breezed three strikes by Mallett in the ninth, the second time he has struck out the Baylor centerfielder this year—and he’s the only pitcher in the Southwest Conference to perform the feat.

WENTORF, JR., Ph.D., University of Wisconsin, 1951\ “Until I joined General Electric’s Research Labora tory in 1951, I never realized science could be such a challenge — or so much fun. My job involves re search in physical chemistry — the investigation of new ideas which can lead to new and better products people can use. In a company of this size, I have the unique advantage of having the tools and facilities I need and the experience of others close at hand. And in return, of course, I’m expected to apply myself to the best of my ability in each new job. As I see it, if a big company like General Electric invests time, money and faith in my creative ability, and if I re spond by creating, then we both benefit. To me, at General Electric business and pleasure do mix.”/ The achievements of 31-year-old Robert Wentorf speak well of his ability to make the most of the op portunities offered at General Electric. He recently created borazon — a completely new, diamond-hard substance which promises far-reaching effect on in dustrial processes and everyday living. There are more than 27,000 college graduates at General Electric. Each is provided the opportunity for self-development in the hope that his creative ability will bring forth new ideas. As General Electric sees it, these new ideas, stemming from man’s native curiosity, will lead to the development of countless products as yet undreamed of for our nation’s defense^ industries, and homes. A physical chemist at General Electric conducts studies of the atomic structure of matter, and of the way atoms and molecules interact under a wide variety of conditions.
