The Battalion College Station (Brazos County), Texas
Tniirsd-y. M-y 23, 1957 PAGE 5
By JIM CARRELL
It appears that only the Dallas JNews lias gotten around
eking an all-!Southwest Conference baseball team, and
Charley Burton lists two Aggies, catcher Gary
ton and third baseman Wendell fieed on the first
h mention made of the performance of Jim Smoth-
* is'
“ihere had to be a choice between defense and oilense
[at third base,” writes Burton, “and Heed, slightly the weak
er fielder among hot-corner men, was far and away the best
Iwith a bat in his hand.” Reed batted .308 in conference.
The Baytown sophomore, Herrington, was selected on
Ithe basis of his fine backstopping as well as his top batting
■average of .264 among catchers. Dick Carrington of Texas
■ followed him with .235 but SMU’s Billy Eannin, who caught
■ in 12 games to Carrington's six, was nominated to the second
■ place with a .156 average.
Smotherman, whose batting average of .300 in SWC ac-
■ tion was below that of the selected outiieid of Baylor’s Jerry
1 Mallet .455 and Bill Dennis .370, and Texas’ Bill Moore .341,
■ led the league in total bases with 33, hits with 18, at-bats
[with 60, tied for first in triples with two and second in doub-
Jles with five, and is the only batter among the first 26 in
the conference who failed to draw a walk. He only struck
)ut twice.
Mallett, the conference’s
op hitter, was also a picture
f futility, batting in only one
un in conference action but
vary pitchers walked him 13 times.
^Johnny Lowry of Texas drew the
nost walks, 15, and batted only
L242.
i Shortstop Lupe Fraga of Hous-
ton led hitters for A&M and was
B eventh in conference with .320.
le had the minimum number of
^■it-bats, 25, but missed the last
frathree games with a badly sprained
CONTINEN TA L/S
iinkle.
I The Aggies, last in the standings
at 4-10, were second in team bat
ting with a .230 mark following
the Texas average of .267. How
ever, clutch hitting was not a
trait of A&M batters, who tied
for last in RBIs with Baylor and
’•'SMU at 33 and left 120 batters
stranded on the basepaths.
I More Aggies struck out, 97,
^ than any other team, but had the
■jpecond highest ' number of hitg
■ 107, to Texas’ Ilf. Lowest in the
Lafctt^erence in double plays with
yv^jjir, A&M was fourth in fielding.
Team captain Dick Munday
S'.: lad the best pitching record for
I A&M, posting a 2-4 mark, and
! pitching 40-2/3 innings for a
■ fine earned run average of
I 2.21.
| Donnie Hullum appeared in more
games than any other SWC huil-
lier. He pitched in nine games,
throwing in 36-1/3 innings and
- . -J... *3tCi!»c. /
had an ERA of 2.23. His season
ERA of 2.01 was the best on the
Aggie squad and was fifth in
conference. Hullum has a 1-2 rec
ord.
Toby Newton, the southpaw
from Galveston, who will pitch for
the Alpine Cowboys this summer,
chalked up a 1-3 conference mark.
He pitched 36 innings, striking
out 36 to lead A&M tossers in
that respect, and posting an ERA
of 2.50.
Bobby Nichols and Marcelino
Moreno were the four-ball match
leaders of the SWC over the past
golfing season, winning 2 , /2 to
'/a. In the battle for the team
championship, Moreno was the
top performer with a 4 '/z - '/z rec
ord. Nichols was second for
the Aggies with 4-2. A&M tied
for second with Texas at 23-13

A&M’s No 1 tennis player, Rex
Reed of Baytown, with continued
improvement,, could', bedbme a ser
ious threat in SWC play next year.
Reed extended Sammy Giammalva,
SWC champ and Davis cup star,
6-3, 6-3, in the quarterfinals. Giam
malva defeated Tommy Roberts of
Rice in the finals, 6-1, 6-0, 6-0.
Reed and Roberts both played to
gether in high school at Baytown.
Ted Harrod, three-year bas
ketball lettermen and one of
last year’s co-captains, is the
father of a week old, seven-
pound, five-ounce boy, Tedford
Emmett, Jr.
The Bryan Aztecs, a local ama
teur team, will receive support from
the summer school attendance of
a number of Aggie baseball play
ers. . . . Due to play with the Az
tecs this summer are Hullum, Joe
Worden, Herrington, Reed, Mun
day, Bo Para do w ski Louis Nelson,
Buddy Klaus and Percy Sanderson.
Incidentally, Sanderson, a fine

Fish, is to marry Margie Harris
of Nederland on June 1 with Hul
lum as best man.

Aggies, Rice
In Houston
Through ’61
HOUSTON— UP) —Rice Athletic
Director Jess Neely confirmed to
day the report that Rice Institute
and Texas A&M would play their
football series in Houston every
year for the next four years.
The SWC champion Aggies are
scheduled to play Neely’s Owls at
the 70,000 seat Rice Stadium Nov.
16 this year. The two teams will
continue to play here through 1961.
The move was reported made be
cause of the convenience to a large
number of Aggie fans. The Hous
ton A&M club is the largest in the
state.
The- larger stadium will increasfe
both team’s attendance since every
other year the two team’s have met
on 45,000 capacity Kyle Field at
College Station, and seldom fill it.
