Ags Thump Cougars, 12-3
The Aggie baseball team, led
by the booming bats of Gary Her

seven to coast to a 12-3 victory
over the University of Houston
Cougars yesterday afternoon on
Kyle Field.
Ag Bowling Team
Topples Arlington
The A&M varsity bowling team
remained undefeated Saturday by
downing the Arlington State Rebels
in a five-game match at the Ar
lington lanes, 4568 to 4229.
The victory was the eighth
straight of the season for the Ag
gies who are propping for the na
tional championships to be held at
A&M in the near future.
High individual honors for the
five-game match went to A&M’s
Don Jones who averaged 197. Lar
ry Dantzler followed his teammate
with a 187 average.
The Cadet second team did al
most as well as their varsity bro
thers by winning four of five
games from their Rebel opponents.
Final score in those matches were
4181 to 3883.
Arlington is scheduled to face
the Aggies in a return match
sometime during the next month,
the date to be announced later.
Herrington made the first Aggie
hit and scored the first run when
he stepped to the plate in the bot
tom of the second and slammed the
first pitch over the left field fence.
Barber’s lone homer came in the
fifth when he lifted a high drive
over the fence scoring Windel
Reed.
Sophomore Larry Ayres re
ceived credit for the win after go
ing three innings and pitching no
hit, no-run ball. Coach Tom Chand
ler used Percy Sanderson, Joe
Brooks Thompson and Jack Roeder
on the mound in downing the
Cougars. Houston’s Charlie Pieper
was the losing pitcher.
Both hurlers retired their bat
ters in order in the first inning
with Ayres sinking the next three
in succession. Herrington opened
up the Aggies part of the second
inning with his homer followed by
Bo Paradowski who grounded out,
second to first. Shortstop Ralph
Plumlee walked and right fielder
Lloyd Stone banged out a sharp
double to score Plumlee. The next
four men were issued walks by
the Cougar’s Pieper with Byron
Barber smacking out his first
hit, a single, scoring Ayres.
Herrington made his second

Frosh Baseball Squad
Meets Tarleton Today
The A&M freshman baseball
team, fresh from thefr triumph
over the Allen Academy Ramblers,
tackle the Tarleton Ploughboys
today at 3 p. m. on Kyle Field.
Expected to start on the mound
for the Farmers is Jessie Mc-
Quire, the short rightrander from
Plainview. Bill Vincent, winner
over the Ramblers, will be ready
in the bull pen to relieve the frosh
of the going gets rough.
McQuire’s battery mate is Fred
Praetorious. The 215-pound catch
er slugged a three run homer in
the first outing of the season.
Jay Bowman, a 6-6 lefty from
Paris, will be at first while John
Hudson holds down the shortstop
position.
With McQuire throwing, second
could be a toss-up, but Pat Clancy,
fresh from the basketball squad,
could hold down that position.
Clancy'is a quick moving six-footer
from Beaumont.
Felix Burton, a 6-2 athlete from
Henderson, should be ready at
third. Burton showed he could be
a long ball hitter against the
Ramblers when he lofted a long
drive into the center field fence

trip to the plate that inning and
walked, bringing in another run
ner. The Cougar coach then jerked
Pieper from the mound and shov
ed Ted Langlie onto the diamond
to face the Ags.
Paradowski greeted the new
pitcher with a single through short
stop and the inning finally ground
to a halt with Plumlee forcing
Paradowski at second and Stone
flying out to left.
The Farmers scored one run in
the fourth on two errors and a
passed ball. Their final three runs
came in the fifth on four hits, one
of them Barber’s two-run homer.
Houston came to life in the
seventh to push across two runs
on three hits off A&M’s Thompson.
The Ag slinger issued one walk
while his teammates scored one
error helping the Houston cause.
Freddie Green, the Cougar’s
third sacker, showed that all the
power wasn’t with the Cadets
when he connected on one of
Thompson’s pitches in the eighth
for a home run.

Before the Southwest Conference baseball race opens,
and opens it does Saturday, I hope the powers-that-be hold
spring house cleaning at the Kyle Field diamond.
Perhaps the first thing they should do is run the pigeons
and sparrows out from under the eaves of that sturdy top
that covers the seats.
It would be a very handy thing if they would do so, be
cause for some reason or the other people refuse to sit
where droppings lay. As one wag commented, “the place
is plumb unsanitary.”
And after the seats are cleaned a carpenter could be
hired to sand down some of the rough spots and a spot or
two of paint applied judiciously here and there. Splinters
have become an occupational hazard to those who watch, the
game and squirm about in their seats during moments of
excitement.
If the sanding or the splinter removing is not done a
first aid station with an ample supply of iodine could take
care of many of the injured.
Perhaps the next thing that could be taken care of would
be the wooden passageway to the press box. He who treads
those steps must have a strong heart, because from the first
wobbling steps onto the ladder until the last lunge towards
the comparative safety of the press box one is in complete
terror of falling, along with the steps, to the floor below.
A sign or two might also be erected at conspicuous spots
telling the fans where the rest rooms might be located. It
might save a lot of people the embarrasment of charging up
and down the aisles with anguish in their eye and hope
dying in their breast.
But be that as it may, fixed or unfixed, the loyal will
arrive in droves to watch the game in enjoyment and suf
fer their seats in stolid quiet.
That’s the spirit of Aggieland.
