Paradowski Leaves Mound
To Become First Baseman
By TUCKER SUTHERLAND
Bo Paradowski, pitcher-turned-
infielder, has made an apparent
change for the better, becoming
one of the leading first sackers in
the conference.
The junior letterman began his
career as a pitcher for a sandlot
team at Sue Haswell Park in Bryan
when he was 12 years old.
From the sandlot Paradowski
graduated to American Legion ball
where he pitched for three years.
He then moved onto the high school
team as a pitcher and outfielder
and helped Bryan win two co-cham-
pionships during his junior and sen
ior years.
The summer after he graduated
from high school, Paradowski went
to New Ulm, Minn, to play in the
western Minnesota semi-pro league
play-offs for the New Ulm Burros.
Paradowski won two games before
being declared ineligible because he
arrived 35 minutes after the player
deadline.
September of that year found
Paradowski pitching for the Aggie
“Fish.” He ended his first season
of.college ball with a 2-1 record.
Paradowski returned to New Ulm
for the entire season after his Fish
year. The Burros finished second
in rthe league and their Texas pitch
er ended the season with a 7-2
standing.
During his sophomore season
Paradowski began switching back
and forth between the mound and
first. Last summer he moved from
semi-pro to amateur ball for Em
pire Broom of Houston as a pitcher.
This year Paradowski became the
starting first baseman for the Ag
gies. At that post he has become
a stand-out in the conference. Up
to the two games this past week
end Paradowski had a .286 batting-
average.
The stocky infielder has not been
slack in the field either. His field
ing average for conference games
is .980. His fielding and batting
averages are both among the top
on the Cadet team.
This summer Paradowski will
again play for Empire Broom after
he returns from six weeks of ROTC
camp at Fort Knox, Ky. At camp
he hopes to play baseball for the
Fort Knox summer camp battalion
team.
With fond memories of the 14-6
shellacking of the single wing still
swimming in their helmeted heads,
the Texas Aggie exes have once
again challenged Coach Jim Myers’
varsity to a test of supi’emacy this
Thursday night on Kyle Field at
7:30.
This will be the final practice day
of the spring training season for
the' Myers-men, and will be the fi
nal performance here for many past
Aggie greats — to include John
Crow, Charlie Krueger, Lloyd Tay
lor, Jimmy Wright and many oth
ers.
The game will be played under
actual game conditiops this time,
with the scoring team kicking off
to the opponents instead of yield
ing possession of the ball.
In contrast to last Saturday’s
game, the exes will play “both
ways” this time—both offense and
defense.
The exes will be bolstered by the
return of John David Crow, every
body’s All-American and Heisman
Trophy Winner. He was not pres
ent last week due to a previous
commitment.
Starting at ends for the exes will
be Henry Pearson and Bobby
Max-ks. At tackles will be Charlie
Krueger and A. L. Simmons, while
the guards will be Jim Stanley and
Darrell Brown. John Gilbert will
play at center.
In the backfield, Jimmy Wi'ight
will quarterback the “T” attack

which Myei’s’ team will face next
season in 10 straight games. Crow
will i'un at left halfback, Lloyd
Taylor at right half and reckless-
running Geox-ge Gillar at fullback.
Chai’lie Milstead, Goxdon Le-
Boeuf and other members of the
varsity eleven have sworn to make
this game the real picture of the
future for Texas A&M football.
Students of the college will be
admitted on pui’chase of a 50 vent
deket from the Athletic Sergeant of
their unit, while all others will pay
a $1 enti’ance fee.
Staff Member Lost
There’s a member of the
Sports staff missing.
He’s about no feet eight,
weighs about 12 pounds and has
black-Jiair—all over him.
It’s like he’s a dog.
Jon, as the smallest member
of the staff is called, walked
out of the Batt office last night
and failed to “mention” where he
was going.
If Jon is found, he can be
brought to the Battalion office,
room 6, YMCA or the finder may
call VI6-4910 for free pickup.

PORT
By BOB
A&M’s grid prospects for 1958
are not as bleak as the scribes and
campus quartei’backs make it out
to be.
Granted that the intrasquad
game pointed out the tremendous
rebuilding job Coach Jim Myers
faces at Aggieland, and granted
that he faces a serious handicap
in graduation losses and* the switch
from the T formation to the single
wing—but ....
The picture is not black!
The genial young mentor has the
most valuable asset a coach could
have in a team—the desii'e the Ags
have to play ball and their winning
attitude towai’ds the game.
The cadets lack speed and are
short on experience, but with
powerful Ken Beck at tackle, de
pendable John Tracey at end and
the savage Murray Trimble at
guard, Myers has a nucleus around
which he could build the finest line
in the conference.
The backfield should prove the
strongest in the league. Dick Gay,
unpublicized in his blocking back
role, turns in a good job at his
position on offense and was the
mainstay of the team on defense
last season.
Milstead is slow on the ground,
but makes up for his lack of speed

SLANT
WEEKLEY'
with the constant threat of his
thx-owing arm. Goi'don LeBeouf—
John Grow in a small package—
will probably turn iixto the team’s
leading ground gainer. Randy
Sims and Jack Estes will improve
as they mature at the wingback
position.
The exes x’ipped large holes in
the varsity’s defense, but fans
should remember that Myers is
devoting most of the training
pei’iods to teaching his team a new
formation—the single wing.
The second unit will prove to be
the Aggies greatest strength in
the coming years, being composed
of nearly all sophomores. George
Gi’ay should see a lot of action for
the Farmers, along with Jei-ry
Feveto, Carter Franklin gnd Tom
Austin.
Aggies will have another chance
to see and judge the gridsters this
spring in the unpi’ecendented se
cond intrasquad game Thursday
night. It will be an improved team,
but one riddled with injuries they
will be viewing.
Beck will be otit of action with
an eye injury, as will Tracey with
ankle trouble, but the 11 men on
the field should give a favorable
preview of things to come.
