\The Battalion College Station (Brazos County), Texas Thursday, February 1§, 19S9 PAGES Baseball League Play to Begin Wednesday I Corps baseball will get its third annual season under way Wednesday night on Travis Park in Bryan if the tyrannical weath er permits. ■ For the first time this year, a sprinkling of Civilian students will join the Air Force JvOTC groups and Army battalions in play, along with the formerly neglected day and married stu dents. I This and several other minor changes will greet the diamond diggers in the two independent leagues which are not recognized as an official college activity but will be run strictly by the students themselves. Still the players will be aided by certain factions bn the campus. Intramural Athletics will furnish catching equipment, Air Force and Army officers from the Tri- gon will see duty as umpires, late tables will be set up in Sbisa Din ing Hall and several other sources will lend assistance. Both leagues will be enlarged this year over the 1958 version, each claiming eight teams. A Civ ilian team will join both the Air Force and Army leagues, with Consolidated Band to also play in the former. Each team may sign two play ers not connected with any other team as long as the students do not possess a "Southwest Confer ence baseball letter. This will al low married day students and Corps day students to participate. A $5 entry fee from each team crappy Collier Proves Able n New Aggie Starting Role ■s I h . By BILL HICKLIN Assistant Sports Editor n Jack Collier, who persists in giv ing opposing coaches gray hair with his hustling tactics, has prov en to be a creditable performer for the Aggies since being promoted to a starting role two weeks ago. K Winning the job on an outstand ing performance in the first league meeting between the two rivals, Collier has been noted more for his hustle and drive than for point production. In three contests since the Frog clash, Collier has scored but 18 points—six a game. But the 6-1 guard has filled in well since, the loss of Aggie rebounding ace, 6-7 Wayne Lawrence, who suffered Shuffling Jack Collier S The speedy guard stepped into the injured Wayne Law rence’s shoes and filled them to perfection. Though not a high scorer, Collier is a team player with a lot of hustl<^ a broken foot. Against Baylor, it was Collier and Neil Swisher who led the Ca det rebounders in their victory which dropped the Bruins from the SWC race. Four nights later, the Frogs again had the Ags’ number, but Collier turned in his second fine performance in a week against TCU. Then, for the third game in a row, Collier totaled six points as the Farmers sunk another confer ence title contender’s tub, whip ping Texas Tech here Saturday. Like other team members Col lier expresses hope for an invita tion to the National Invitational Tournament in New York this spring. “It would be great to go,” said the scrappy senior from Ama rillo, “but despite our season rec ord, we still stand in fifth place in the conference.” Collier, who was an all-district performer for Amarillo High School during his prep days, came to A&M on the invitation of Joel McDowell, a performer on the 1951 SWC championship team. Now at tending Aggieland on a basketball scholarship, Collier said McDowell and his coach convinced him to come to A&M. A marketing major, Collier said he hoped to get a job in Dallas after graduation this spring. He cited several Aggie-exes that work with construction firms in Dallas, adding that a sales representative post with such a firm is his first choice. Among his playing days on the hardwoods both in high school and college, Collier lists a remarkable comeback by Amarillo’s Golden Sandies and the opportunity to play on a winning college outfit like this year’s edition of the Ag gies as his greatest thrills. will be used to buy baseballs for game play. The individual teams, however, will furnish their own bats. Thanks to the negotiating of Pete Rodriguez, storekeeper in the Department of Chemistry, the City of Bryan again approved the use of Travis Park for the stu dents. Games are scheduled for 7:SO and 9:15 each week night, with makeup games to be slated at 5:15 daily as the need arises. Games were set up for either 5-inning or 1%-hour duration. No inning may start after the time limit has been used up. One round will be played in each league wuth playoffs to be set later. This is the first year Civilians were asked to sponsor teams. A squad composed of Hart, 16, Wal ton and Law residents will join the Air Force league while a Puryear, Bizzell, Mitchell and Leggett congregation will play with the Army. “With the earlier start, larger leagues, greater interest and bet ter weather, these can be the best Corps baseball leagues yet,” said Fred Meurer, who together with Homer Hershey is coordinating play.

The pitching staff, led by right hander Donnie Hullum, will be composed of a hard core of veter ans, none of whom had outstand- play, Hullum was a fast starter last season, teaming with the graduated Toby Newton in a no-hitter against Texas Lutheran in one of the early contests, but lagged in the home stretch as the baseball race came pitcher threw this summer for a semi-pro team and could develop into one of the top hurlers in the conference this season. Other strong pitching candidates are right-handers Wayne Schaper of Galveston, Percy Sanderson of Nederland and southpaw Bo Para dowski of Bryan. Joe Thompson and Larry Ayres, both outstanding pitchers on the frosh squad last season, could lend strength to the moundsmen.
