The A&M track team will be
busy on two fronts this week.
Coach Charley Thomas will en
ter his varsity and freshman teams
in the A&M-Rice-Texas triangular
meet at Houston Thursday and
then will take the varsity to Big
Spring for the ABC Relays Satur
day.
Although the Cadets have not
won a meet in four starts they
have shown steady improvement
and Thomas, in his first year of
rebuilding Aggie track fortunes, is
well pleased with the progress.
With two of his top field men
sidelined with injuries a junior
javelin thrower—Newton Lamb of
Houston Lamar—has been the big
surprise for the Aggies.

mark twice this spring with tosses
of 206-6 at Shreveport and 204-6%

Discus man Owen Hill of Dallas
and pole vaulter Jerry Davis of
Lubbock have been slowed with in
juries and have not reached their
potential.
Henry Bonorden of Port Lavaca
has improved weekly in the shot
put. His best put to date was at
Baton Rouge last week, a toss of
51-4% that took second behind
LSU’s Billy Cannon.

of the season for both clubs and
the win shoved the Aggies into a
three way tie with Rice and Bay
lor for first place honors.
Righthander Percy Sanderson
was the winning slinger for the
Farmers, receiving credit after he
relieved sophomore Larry Ayres in
the sixth and allowed only one run.
Loser was Bob Suddeth.
Sanderson gave up four hits dur
ing his stint on the mound, struck
out one and walked none. Ayres
was touched for eight hits and
struck out five.
Little J. B. Carroll, 5-6 junior
center-fielder, led the Aggie slug
gers at the plate with a single,
double and triple while knocking
in four runs.
The Aggies opened the scoring
parade in the top of the first
when left-fielder Byron Barber,
lifted a high drive over the left
field fence for a homer.
Texas countered in their frame
when they pushed across a tying
run on three hits, all of them
being singles off Ag starter Ayres. 1
A&M hit their big inning in the
third when they scored three runs.
Dink Patterson opened the inning
by walking and then scored on
Ayres’ double to right. Ayres came
home when Carroll hit his first
double and Carroll crossed home
base on Barber’s second hit, a
single to left.
The Longhorns refused to be
left behind and scored three runs
in the fifth, two of them via the
home run route. A&M went ahead
in the next frame when Patterson
and Ralph Plumlee scored on Car
roll’s triple to right.
Texas was still in the race, be
hind one run in the bottom of the
sixth when George Myers slammed
a 400-foot plus home run all the
way across Red River Street in
back of center field.
The Aggies winning run was
pushed across in the eighth when
Patterson managed to reach first
on a single to right and made sec
ond base on a sacrifice by Sander

for the fifth time that night and

Enters Two Area Meets
Aggie Line Biggest Problem
As Spring Drills Draw Near
Developing a strong line will
be the top item on the agenda
when the Aggies begin spring
football practice March 31.
Coach Jim Myers expects 70
hopefuls to report including 20
returning lettermen and a host of
sophomores-to-be from the frosh
team that had a 3-1-1 record last
fall.
Myers, beginning his second
year at Aggieland after posting
a respectable 4-6 mark, figures if
a football team “hasn’t got it up
front—it just hasn’t got it.”
“Our biggest problem is to de
velop a strong; line,” he said this
week as he and his busy staff
make final preparations for the
opening practice session.
“If we improve it will have to
be in the line,” he said, but plans
to work a lot on defense and the
running attack, too.
The Cadets had one of the best
passing attacks in the nation last
fall but “didn’t have it up front”
to make the running game go.
Myers will have several sopho
mores to sprinkle in with his let
termen and has added a multiple
offense to go along with the single
wing. This, along with a better
line, should give A&M better run
ning.
“All positions will be wide
open,” the Aggie chief declared.
“We’re hoping the sophs will win
out but they’ll have to beat out
the veterans first,” he added.
The annual Spring game and all
sports day will be Saturday, April
18. The night grid game will cli
max a full day of sports as the
Aggie track, baseball, golf and
tennis teams will compete at home
before the several hundred high

ITS WHATS UP FRONT THAT COUNTS
This filter, be it e’er so pure and white
Must needs give flavor too, full clear and bright
Else would the trusting smoker, filled with hope
Again be dashed, dejected be ... and mope.
And thus we come to Winston’s obvious truth
It’s what’s up front that counts— and ’tis, forsooth
In that the fine tobaccos, in the end
Are by exclusive process—Filter-Blend —
Become the tastiest taste that e’er hath played
Across your dancing taste-buds, man or maid'
