Major Leagues Switch Script
With Players in New Cities
NEW YORK h*P)—The big
leagues are switching the script
for this year’s openers. The clubs
will be in the same cities but the
players w"ill be in new towns.
Only about 50 percent of last
year’s starters will be manning the
same battle stations when the
baseball season gets under way
with two special openers Thursday
and a seven-game schedule in Fri
day.

players have decided to stay home
and play the market. Most of
them merely shifted uniforms dur
ing the off season trading spree.
The closest thing to standpat
lineups will be offered by the New
York Yankees and the Chicago
White Sox, who did no swapping.
Once again the Yankees and Mil

College Unions in a national inter

The toux-nament, in which repi'e-
sentatives of all national ACU re

match for the first time, will be
held in conjunction with the Amer

paid trip to the national x-oll-off

bowlers from 30 colleges in Texas,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Ai’kansas
lind Oklahoma.

man of the Memorial Student Cen

Dantzler’s bowling average in
the MSC committee is 182, while in
the Bryan “Mix and Match” and
the “Bryan All-Star” leagues he
holds 192 aixd 187 averages, re
spectively.
The avid bowler repoi’ts that his
interest in the game began on the
Aggie campus approximately five
years ago. He bowled his first
game in the YMCA building while
hex-e visiting his brother, J. Ed
ward Dantzlex’, ’56.
In Janxiary, 1956, after 18 league
games, he had a 115 average. From
that tiixxe Daxxtzler estimates that
he bowled seven or eight games a
