Shorthorns Bailer Fish in Final, 7-3 Extending their two-year victory skein to 21 games, the Texas Shorthorns put the icing on a complete white wash of A&M spring sports by the Austin school with an easy, 7-3, win over the Fish yesterday on Kyle Field. ' The Shorthorns blasted loser Percy Sanderson for 15 base hits as the Nederland righthander lost his second game to the Texas freshmen. The Fish picked up nine safe blows, but could get nothing started until the seventh, and it was too late by then. First baseman Bobby Lackey, who led all batters with four hits in four trips, got Texas off on the right foot to open the second with a pass to first. Lackey advanced to second on an error, moved to third on a fielder’s choice a n d scored standing up on David Sad ler’s long fly ball. Gary La Fouers opened the Tex as third with a single, stole second and dented the plate on Max Al vin’s double, the only extra-base blow off Sanderson. Lackey figured in the next three Shorthorn tallies, scoring when Sadler’s ground ball was mis-play- ed after singling to left in the sixth and driving home a pair of runs with a base hit in the seventh. The Fish finally found the range in the home half of the stretch inning. Sanderson opened with a line shot to left and ambled to sec ond on Jess Foster’s single to cen ter. Bill Houchin drove a base hit into left scoring Sanderson with Foster digging into third. The Texas hurler, Greg Martin, threw wildly past the platg scoring Foster with Houchin taking third. Gerald Walling drove out a long fly ball to send Houchin home safe ly for the final Fish run. Texas got a pair in the top of the ninth on four straight hits. Sanderson, Foster and Jim Tur pin all had two hits for the Fish, who finished the season witli a 7-3 record.

Aggies Drop Twin-Bill Lose to Texas, 5-1, 1-0 The Aggies dropped a double- header to Texas yesterday by 5-1, 1-0 scores on Clark Field in Austin to close out the season. Texas on the basis of the two victories became the clearcut Southwest Conference champion. A&M’s record fell to 4-10 for league play and dropped them into last place in the standings. Dick Monday, starting his last game in Aggie Uniform, lost the opener after giving up a run in the first inning and two in the third. Coach Beau Bell then pitch ed Lefty Toby Newton the middle three and finished up with Donnie Hullum. Newton gave ..up two more runs. The Aggies managed only two hits in the first game with one of them being Jim Smotherman’s double off a cliff in left center that opened the fifth. Dickie Thomas singled into left to drive home Smotherman after Munday had walked. Joe Worden bunted and Munday was tagged out at third and Worden thrown out at first. Wayne Balke flied to left to end the Aggie threat. Smotherman got the first hit of the day off Harry Taylor, the Tex as starter who has a record of 5-1, and ended his perfect game effort! Not a man had reached first for A&M up until that time. Newton was called on to start the seven-inning second game and locked up with Texas ace Howard Reed in a pitcher’s duel. Newton allowed but one hit through four innings. Reed scattered six A&M hits and received brilliant support afield in winning his sixth SWC victory without loss. Hullum again relieved Newton, this time in the fifth, and gave up only one hit. Newton’s record is 1-3 in SWC play. A&M blew scoring opportunities on two occasions in the second game. Smotherman led off the second inriing with his second double pf the afternoon and advanced to third on Thomas’ ground out to short. With the infield playing in close, Munday hit a shot to second and second baseman Glenn Von Rosenberg easily threw Smother man out at the plate. Again in the sixth, A&M ad vanced a man as far as third but failed to score. Cliff Tuttle was hit by Reed after A&M’s Wendell Reed popped out. He advanced to third on Gary Herrington’s single to right; Herrington moving to second on the throwin.
