I ’ .i'rt-* : 1 i- I Height Turns Aggie To Baseball Team By TUCKER SUTHERLAND Being too short was the key to J. B. Carroll’s start as a baseball player for A&M. “He was too short to play college basketball so he went out for the baseball team,” said George Car- roll, father of the Aggie third sack- er. Besides being an all-distinct bas ketball player during his junior year at Consolidated High School, the 5’ 7” infielder was also out standing in football, baseball and track. In football Carroll booted the Ti gers to a championship his sopho more year by kicking 45 out of 50 extra point attempts. Of these, 23 were in succession. He was too old to play high school sports his senior year, so he acted as student coach. As a high school short-stop, Car- roll batted .465 and was a big fac tor in the 1954 undefeated season for CHS. In his last season of high school ball (junior year) he hit .500 in district play. Spending most of his time on sports didn’t hurt Carroll’s popu larity among Consolidated stu dents. He was president of his class three years out of four and in two of these years he served as vice president of the student council. Carroll came to A&M last year and concentrated his skill on base ball. He moved from shortstop to right field and played the latter position without an error. Fish Carroll knocked out a .346 batting average. The Fish had a 7-2 rec ord last year. This year the righthander moved again. This time from rightfield to third base. Although Carroll has only batted .193 for the sea son he is second in total runs for the team with 12. Part of this may be because the short speedster has walked more times than any one, 13, and has the most stolen bases, nine. In conference play the third sacker has had part in five double plays and is tied with second base- man Dink Patterson in this col umn.

Ag Squad in Dallas For SWC Contest By BOB WEEK LEY The Aggie track and field squad left for the Southwest Conference meet in Dallas yesterday with slight hopes of bringing the cham pionship trophy back to College Station after the events today and Saturday. The Cadets, long a track and field power, are currently in the first year of a rebuilding campaign after the majority of the point makers entered in the ’57 meet graduated. The Farmers finished second to Texas last year. A&M will enter 25 varsity and 20 freshmen in the two divisions of the meet. Emmett Smallwood, the Galena Park flash, is expected to be top man in Dallas for the Ags. In the SWC meet in Austin last year the talented athlete broke the broad jump record and placed second in low hurdles. The A&M senior has divided his track time this spring in prepar ing for the decathlon at the recent Tennis Doubles Play Semi-Final In SWC Today Aggies Bob Jones and Rex Reed advanced to semi-finals in South west Conference tennis by defeat ing Harlan Baker and Jim White of Texas Christian University in doubles yesterday. However, the No. 1 Ag, Reed, was downed in singles by Bob Macy of Texas Tech. Macy was the fourth seeded player in the tour nament. The A&M doubles team of Jones and Reed will face the No. 1 team, Art Foust and Ronnie Fisher of Rice, today. Foust and Fisher eli minated Southern Methodist yes terday.

The Longhorns are again a heavy favorite to capture the track and field crown, with SMU regarded as the logical second place contend er because of depth. Baylor and Rice will probably battle for third with Arkansas, Texas Tech, TCU and A&M ex pected to be the second division teams. The Cadets won championships in 1947-48-49 and 1951-52-53 with an abundance of manpower, but Texas then returned to the top of the heap.

Hudack, art instructor at the Illinois State penitentiary. Romanticism is characteristic of many of their paintings the in structor says. Memory and imag ination also play an important role. Unlike painters on the out side, the prisoners have no oppor tunity to observe real landscape, no chance to watch the sea or feel the rairt.
