The Battalion College Station (Brazos County), Texas Thursday, Apri\ 23, 1959 PAGE 5 Out at Home Senior co-captain Gary Herrington tags freshman Felix Burton out at homeplate during baseball practice yesterday at Kyle Field. Herrington leads the Aggie sluggers in con ference batting at the plate and is an All-Southwest Con ference catcher. The Aggies play SMU at College Station Friday and Saturday. Carroll Proves Agile, Consistent Performer Dimunitive J. B. Cai-roll, the smallest player on the Aggie base ball varsity, has become one of the most consistent and perhaps the most agile performer on the squad. The little 5-6 junior has posted a .286 batting average over the season and a .410 percentage in loop play as the Cadets have rolled to a 10-4 season record and a 4-2 conference mark. In addition, the 132-pound jack-of-all trades has performed capably at every position except pitcher, catcher and first base. In competition, Carroll possess a strong arm either from the out field or from his usual posts around the keystone. He is also talented at stealing the important base when it counts and has been outstanding in the clutch. Carroll’s best performance of the season undoubtly came in the circuit opener against the per ennial loop favorite Texas Long- Gymnastics Team Takes AAU Meet The A&M gymnastics team kalked away with the Southwest &.AU Gymnastics Meet, April 17- 18, with first place honors in three events. James Ellisor took first place in both the novice and junior division side horse. Richard Trapp, also a freshman, won first place in the novice long horse. Other members who placed were Charles Teas in the novice long horse knd trampoline and William Watkins on the junior horizontal bar and rope climbing. Walton said that this weekend the team will participate in the unofficial Southwest Conference Gymnastics Meet in Austin in which A&M, Texas, Baylor and Texas Tech will be represented. Also, this will probably be their last meet of the season. horns. Against the Steers, he pounded a single, double and trip le and drove in four runs as the Ags stopped the Longhorns, 7-6. Since that victory, the Farmers have remained in the middle of the Southwest Conference pennant chase. The Ags are currently one and one-half games behind the league leading Steers. But nature has not been favorable as the last three loop tilts have been rained out. “Coach Chandler has us in a good spot,” says Carroll, “and we can take it all if we ever get all our games in.” A letterman with the Ags last year, Carroll has been a much im proved ball player this season. And one of the chief reasons for his improvement is the experience gained last summer playing semi- pro ball in Canada. Carroll played for the Regina, Saskatchewan, Braves . until the team folded late in the season. While playing for the Braves, he batted an even .300 and held down either the second base or shortstop posts. He also sold real estate for a construction firm. Chandler calls Carroll, “a whole lot of little player.” “Too bad he’s not a little bigger,” said the mentor, “but he s an ex cellent clutch player, who comes through with the important throw or the important hit.” Carroll plans to enter profes sional ball and “go as far as I can.” The agile little College Sta tion resident who played baseball for A&M Consolidated then wants to become a school supervisor. S PORT SLANT By BOB WEEKLEY S To paraphrase Hamlet, “To make up a game or not to make up a game is no longer a question.” Coach Tom Chand ler resolved that problem yesterday. The whole discussion to date has centered around whether or not the Farmers will make up their rained out tilts with Baylor and Rice unless it has some direct bearing on the final Southwest Conference standings. It seems the conference has two rules that deals with our quandary: 1. If the missed game is a single game it will not be made up if it does not interfere with the stand ings. 2. If the game was part of a series, and the game missed was the first game of the series, a double header can be played. Rule No. 1 deals with the Baylor tussle that was post poned, but the two Rice-Aggie games pose something of a problem. A&M was originally scheduled to play Rice a single game at College Station April 4, but the Aggies, having no home game for Spring Sports Day, asked the Owls if they would mind changing their April 18 game at Houston with the April 4 contest in order for the Ags to have a home game for the sports day. The game scheduled for the 18th was part of a two- gamo series that was to be played in Houston. Rice agreed to’ play one gamd' in Houston (April 17) and one game in College Station (April 18) and play the April 4 game in Houston. Everything would be fine now except the Farmers played the game on the 4th and didn’t play either one of the series’ games. Technically now the Farmers could ask Rice to play a double header before the season ended to make up for the games missed, but Chandler says such a thing would not happen. Chandler believes that the first game of the series was played the 4th and the game rained out the 17th was the single game that does not have to be made up. Confused? You don’t have to be. Just forget about the whole thing and read The Battalion to find out when the Aggies play and how they stand in the conference. The Aggie coach does think that perhaps he can sched ule a double header with Rice after the season ends, if the games have no bearing on the final standings. If they do the conference will solve the problem for him and schedule the missed tilts. With the missed freshmen games there is no problem. It’s a tradition that when the freshmen squad misses a game it does just that—no makeup possible. INTRAMURALS Two intramurals games have gone into the finals this week.

Injuries Mar Practice For Spring Gridsters Injuries and illness have mul tiplied in Coach Jim Myers’ spring training camp to put a series cramp in the remaining four days of football practice. Three members of the starting eleven have been sidelined so far this week with another declared out for the rest of spring drills last week.
