Ready for that test tomorrow, too ... if that bottle of

Nichols Falls Behind
In Race for Golf Title
A&M’s Bobby Nichols, defending
Southwest Conference individual
golf champion, shot a poor, 73-72
—145 in Austin yesterday after
breaking his putter and using his
No. 1 iron on the last seven
greens.
Nichols fell seven strokes be
hind Texas’ Phi Beta Kappa link-
sman, Kirby Attwell, with only 36
holes left. Attwell shot a three-
under-par 67 in the afternoon for
a 36-hole total of 138. Trailing
him by one stroke is SMU’s Jerry
Pittman, runner-up in 1956 with
Don Harmon of Baylor in third
place with a 140.
Rice’s John Garrett, the 1955 co
champion, arrived late and played
both rounds in the afternoon. Gar
rett, under the impression that
the tourney started today, ar
rived at noon and started the 36-
hole grind at 1 p. m. He trails
Harmon with a 141.
In tennis yesterday, A&M’s Rex
Reed proved no easy task for top-

Agent for United
seeded Davis cupper Sammy Giam-
malva of Texas, though losing in
straight sets, 6-3, 6-3, in the second
round of the Southwest Conference
tennis tourney. Reed, from Bay-
town, was A&M’s only entry.
Giammalva now moves into the
quarterfinals round and faces
teammate Richard Keaton. Clay
ton Williams and Tommy Roberts
of Rice face each other in the
other singles match. Texas also
has two doubles teams in the
finals.
With first place conceded to the
power-laden University of Texas
Longhorns, A&M’s thinlyclads
journey to Austin today to do
battle with Rice SMU, and Baylor
for the Southwest Conference num
ber two position.
The Steers are expected to
threaten the all-time high point
total, 104, set by the Aggies in
1953 with perhaps the finest col
lection of athletes in league his
tory. Texas has lost only once in
1957—to the NCAA champion Uni
versity of Southern California
Trojans.
The freshmen also meet to de
cide a conference champ with
A&M’s Henry Bonorden given the
best chance for a first. Texas

Name
Street :
City
Tech, competing for the first time
as a conference member, but in the
freshmen division only, is rated
slightly behind the Shorthorns for
the title.
The Longhorns are heavy
favorites in the 100, 220, 440, 880,
mile, two-mile, high hurdles, broad-
jump, and both relays. The Texas
quartet of Wally Wilson, Eddie
Southern, Hollis Gainey and Cap
tain Bobby Whilden have erased
the world standard with a 39.9
sprint relay and will probably
lower the 40.8 conference mark.
Probable Aggie victories will
come from the muscled right arm
of Hennan Johnson—the favorite
in both the shot put and the discus
and pole vaulters Winton Thomas
and James Clark.
High Jumper Fritzie Connally,
Dale Elmore in the broadjump, Em
mett Smallwood in the low hurdles,
Ed BusSa in the 440 and the mile
relay foursome of Bussa, Andy
Erisman, Robert McKnight and
Johnny Roberts should pick up
enough points to keep A&M in the
tight race for second.
CUT AND SLASH BY HERRINGTON—Catcher Gary
Herrington slashes one of Emil TejmTs pitches for a sin
gle in the 11th inning of A&M’s game with Rice Wednes
day. He later romped home from second on a wild throw
by the third baseman on Lupe Fraga’s ground ball. A&M
won 6-5 and Herrington’s batting average rose to .310.

Aggie Nine Meets TCU
On Kyle Field Today at 3
Ags Try King,
Court Here
©
Rained out last night, the
Aggie softballers will try to
hit the slants of Eddie Feigner
and his fabulous four-man
team Monday at 7:30 on the
lighted softball diamond.
Feigner is the phenomenal pitch
er with the 1407-138-27 record for
10 years of hurling. He had struck
out 29,867 batters, and averaged
24 per nine-inning game in one
season. The amazing right hand
er has thrown 113 perfect games
and 331 no-hitters.
Pitching blindfolded, Feigner
has faced 2,148 batters, fanning
1,986 and once pitched 34 innings
in one game in which he struck
out 73 and allowed but eight hits.
Feigner’s four-man team has
won 943, lost 94 and tied 11 in 10
seasons, during which they have
traveled over 480,000 miles and
played before more than 5,000,000
fans.

Coach Beau Bell’s Aggie baseballers attempt to put an
end to TCU’s SWC baseball title aspirations today, meeting
the Frogs at 3 p.m. on Kyle Field.
TCU now has a conference record of 7-3 and an Aggie
victory would virtually eliminate the Ft. Worth school. A&M
has a SWC record of 3-8, picking up wins over Baylor and
Rice this week.
Lefty Toby Newton is the likely starter for the Aggies
who lost two games to TCU early in April by 6-4 and 7-5
scores. The Aggies have been fuming about losing those two
games ever since and looking forward to this game.
There is, however, the possibility that the game might
be postponed due to heavy
rains which blanketed parts of
the outfield yesterday.
Grounds crews were attemp
ting to drain the water off and
Coach Bell was to call TCU’s
coach, Dutch Meyer, earlier today
and make a decision on whether to
play.
Righthanders Donnie Hullum and
Dick Munday yull be ready for re
lief work. Hullum threw three in
nings against Baylor Tuesday af
ter Newton tired in the seventh
with two on and none out, and
Munday pitched 10 innings against
Rice Wednesday but could be ready
if needed.

Fish Meet Shorthorns
Win Streak At Stake
Fastballing Percy Sanderson is
Coach Les Palmer’s mound choice
as the Fish battle for the South
west Conference lead and their
sixth straight victory, meeting the
Texas Shorthorns on Clark Field in
Austin today.
The Shorthorns also have a vic
tory string at stake, not having
lost in 19 consecutive games since
the Baylor Cubs beat them in May,
1955. They have won seven this
year.
On Tuesday the Shorthorns re
turn the visit by the Fish in a
game scheduled for 3 p.m. on Kyle
Field. Southpaw Don Pettavino is
slated to start after his five-hit, 6-1
win over Allen on Wednesday.
The A&M freshman lost their
season opener to Tarleton, 7-3,
when line drives found fielders
waiting and could do nothing right.
They have since found themselves,
walloping Dallas 18-9, Allen 15-6
and 6-1, and slapping Baylor twice
Tuesday in Waco, 7-2 and 9-0.
Sanderson has won two and lost
one this year, fanning 18 batters
in 27 innings. The Nederland ace
can really fire that ball in at the
plate and boasts a sharpbreaking
curve but has had trouble with his
control. He had good control in
his 7-2 victory over Baylor this
week, however, walking only three.
A stylish righthander, Greg Mar
tin, is due to start for Texas. He
has won six of their seven victories
this year, and is a likely starter
next Tuesday.
