Tennis Team Preparing For
SWC Meet Under Handicap
The Aggie tehnis team, with one
letterman back from last year,
faces two more matches and the
Southwest Conference meet before
winding up the season.
The varsity team, weakened
somewhat this year with the loss
of three 3-year lettermen from
last year’s team, is made up of
one junior and three sophomores.
Bob Jones, the only man on the
squad with experience, heads the
team. Harvey Barber, Richard
Box and Bill Jamison round out
the starters for the varsity.
The team works and plays un
der some handicaps which hinder
their workouts as well as their
games. The only courts available
for practice are the intramural
slabs. The clay courts were aban
doned last year after the varsity
team got tired of keeping them
themselves.
“Intramurals matches hinder our
workouts, since balls are always
flying across the court, and play
ers walking behind and beside the
courts distract the team’s attention
from the ball,” said Jones.
Barber pointed out that the run-
backs were too short. “Some visit
ing players complained about the
run-backs because the balls get
wet rolling onto the grass and ruin
the gut strings on their rackets,”
said Barber. “Those strings run
high, too,” he added.
Jones stated that other teams
had separate varsity courts to
practice on. “They have no in
terruptions, and can carry on a
good workout without other teams
running around,” he said.
The team as a whole felt at-
tendence to the games was de
creased because of the lack of
bleachers around the courts. “We
had a pretty big crowd for the
Hardin-Simmons gam e,” said
Jones, “but they had to sit on the
ground around the courts or in
cars to watch the game.” They
are trying now to get bleachers
set up around the courts for the
Southwest Conference meet May
7-9.
Coach Bell’s crew met the Texas
Christian University varsity this
afternoon, and will meet Rice here
Tuesday. They finish the regular
season against Baylor at Waco
May 2, before entering the SWC
meet.

In spite of a poor season this
year, the squad is looking for
things to pick up next year. They
will not lose any of their first four
men, and some good freshmen are
coming up. “Some of the fish are
already giving us a bad time,” said
Barber.
“Our depth should be greater
next year than in the last few
years,” said Davis. “As soon as
we get the depth and win some
games, more boys will begin to be
interested,” he added.
Wet Aggies Meet Mustangs,

Corps Baseballers
See Week of Action
Corps baseball got weakly back
on its feet this week and the Army
and Air Force leagues are aiming
for a May 15 finish of the regular
scheduled games after two weeks
of plaguing rain caused play to
sputter.
In Army action this week, the
Field Artillery battalion downed
Armor, Composite won out over
the Service nine, and the Engineers
shut out Anti-Aircraft Artillery
last night.
Four games were scheduled in
the Air Force, with the 6th and
3rd groups both winning on for
feits while a third game was post
poned. The 2nd and 4th groups
met in a night game last night.
Playoffs have been tentatively
set to begin May 17 if all of the
postponed games can be made up
in the afternoons before then.

While the Maroon line hits the blocking
dummies, the backfield runs through its
offensive plays. That’s left halfback Jon
Few lugging the ball around right end.

Longhorns tacked onto the Mus
tangs last weekend.
At 3 p.m. Friday, the Aggies
meet these same Mustangs with
Percy Sanderson (2-1) of Neder
land on the mound in an attempt
to maintain the pace set by last
year’s champion Longhorns. The
only Longhorn defeat in confer
ence this year was administered by
the Aggies on Clark Field, 7-6.
The Aggies, 4-2, behind Texas’
6-1 in conference, will off^r Don
nie Hullum Saturday, a righthand
er from Baytown who has pitched
only one inning of SWC baseball.
Hullum, plagued by a sox-e arm
since the first of the season, threw
his first game against St. Mary’s
of San Antonio, only to lose on a
two-run homer. He pitched three-
hit ball for the first five innings
but half-speed throwing for the
corners wasn’t quite good enough
against St. Mary’s accurate Gene
Cernosek.
Coach Tom Chandler, in his first
year at A&M, is expected to throw
a few changes of pace at the Mus
tangs should they attempt to throw
southpaw pitchers at the Aggies.
Don Chase, a powerful right-
hand, second-string catcher, is
scheduled to start in rightfield if
Marvin King or a Mustang lefty
takes the mound. Along with him
