Since the association sponsors the events that aay rath er than the Athletic Department as such, student activity Ag Varsity Bowling Team' Wins Region IX Tourney The A&M Varsity Bowling Match Team rolled the 14th high est team score in the nation to win the mail-in Region IX champ ionship, which includes all college bowlers in Texas, Louisiana, Ark ansas, Mississippi and Oklahoma.

The stubby co-captain has rack ed out five doubles and three homers, scoring 40 runs. Herring ton has 18 hits in 50 trips to the plate. Out on the pitcher’s mound, sophomore Larry Ayres boasts a 3-1 record and the best earned run average of the A&M starters with a 2.92 ERA. Ayres has given up 34 hits in 43 innings, allowing 20 runs to cross the plate. The right hander has struck out 30 and walked 17. Tied with Ayres in the won-loss column is lanky Wayne Schaper who has struck out 18 men and allowed 26 hits in 26 innings of ball.

Corps Baseballers Try Again Tonight Corps baseball tries to spring back into action tonight with two games on the docket. But the weather will have to cooperate. If the weatherman gives the green light, the Engineers will cards will not be honored. Instead students will have to defeated for the season in match pay the small sum of $1 to view the intfasquad and base- ball games, the track meet and the golf and tennis matches. One ducat lets you view all these events. There isn’t a better way to spend a buck. The asso ciation takes the money it makes from the Sports Day and spends it on charity, social functions and other recognized functions. Probably most of the interest Saturday will center around the baseball game and the Maroon and White in- trasquad skirmish. Baseball takes the limelight in the afternoon when Coach Tom Chandler’s nine faces the Rice Owls at 2 p. m. on the Kyle Field diamond. The two teams will meet in Houston Friday. This is a big series for the Aggies since two wins would leave the Cadets within striking distance of Texas, but a split would give the Longhorns a comfortable margin at mid-season. A&M has a 4-2 Southwest Conference mark, a scant half game behind the Longhorns. Rice and the SMU Mustangs are the only two teams to have dropped the Farmers so far in conference play, with the Owls turning the trick by a 4-3 score after capitalizing on Aggie errors. The Cadets will probably start senior Donnie Hullum on the mound Saturday against Rice’s Jim Brock. Hullum, a righthander from Baytown, has a 0-1 season record after dropping his lone start of the year Tuesday against St. Mary’s University. Hullum has been out the entire season with a s6re arm and threw against the Rattlers at about three-fourths speed, but his control and curve were very good. In five innings he gave up only two runs on three hits. Meanwhile the Owl’s Brock has a 1-1 league mark with a fine 1.35 earned run average. Rice also boasts one of the top sluggers in the league in big Dick Kristinik, a sopho more third baseman. Kristinik’s average in conference war fare is a sterling .429 while he is batting .359 for the sea son. Come 7:30 p. m. and all hands will move to the football Columnist Charles Burton Ranks 1959 Aggies Sixth Last season the Horned Frogs won the conference race with a 5-1 mark, trailed by Rice and SMU who boasted 4-2 records. Texas was next in the standings with a 3-3 record while the Aggies and Arkansas tied with 2-4 marks. Baylor managed to win one game in six. The 1959 Aggie football team should be rated no higher than sixth next fall in the Southwest Conference, according to The Dal las Morning News’ columnist Charles Burton in his sports col- flmn, The Inside Story. Burton, going by the records of the past season and by spring training reports, ranks the SMU Mustangs first followed by TCU and the Texas Longhorns. Texas Christian won the race going away in 1958 and returns virtual ly all their starters from that championship team. Burton does believe that all three teams are capable of finishing first. The columnist goes on to say that Rice should be ranked fourth and Arkansas fifth while Baylor will probably again inhabit the cellar. Burton says that the majority of the coaches in the SWC firmly believe that this is how the 1959 race will end. In about eight months, everyone will know just how true his prediction is. meet the Army Civilians in the fomL°n Q W a j 1 , 6 field where Coach Jim Myers will unveil his second new formation since coming to Aggieland, the multiple offense. Really the new formations won’t be sjcrmew to the Ag--] gies who saw the single wingle last season, a rather dis appointing attack, and the “T” formation in the previous years. In other action on Sports Day the tennis team will meet the Trinity Tigers at 1 p.m. on the A&M tennis courts, the Aggie track and field team will duel SMU and Rice in a triangular meet at 2:30 p.m. at Kyle Field while the an nual high school invitational golf meet will tee-off at 8 a.m. takes on the Air Force Civilians in the 9:15 nightcap. No games have been played since the Easter holidays due to bad weather and local high school teams using Travis Park, and the Corps program is somewhat be hind schedule. However, all of the 35 remaining games can be played if the skies clear up to some ex tent. Schedules for the remaining tilts have beep revamped again, and copies may be picked up Monday afternoon, in The Battalion of fice, Fred Meurer, program coordi nator, said. ' There are no games scheduled for Friday night, but play will continue Monday when the 4th and 6th Groups clash in the opener- while the AAA and Medical bat talions vie in the second g-ame. Meurer said that in the future, the two teams playing should sup ply umpires for the game if no officials frdm the college show up. All the games will be counted in the standings, he said.
