Farmers Rap Texas Tech, 11-4
The Aggie nine jumped back on
to the winning trail yesterday as
they mauled three Texas Tech
pitchers for 13 hits and a 11-4
victory in a non-conference tilt at
Kyle Field.
The win gave the Farmers a 11-4
1 season mark, but did not improve
their Southwest Conference stand
ings since Tech does not partici
pate in SWC baseball. The Cadets
currently trail the Texas Long
horns and the Rice Owls in con
ference battle with a 4-4 mark.
Ag second baseman Don Davis
led the sluggers at the plate with
four hits in five trips to the plate.

Heavyweight Contenders
Ending Drills for Title Bout
INDIANAPOLIS (^P) — Their
heavyweight title fight only four
days off, Champion Floyd Patter
son and challenger Brian London
honed themselves to a fine train
ing edge in drills Monday.
The lithe Patterson sparred
three rounds, two against Ike
Thomas and one against Cuban
Julio Mederos. He dropped Thom
as once with two stabbing lefts
and a crushing right that lifted
his sparring mate off his feet.
A driving rain forced the champ
to cut short his daily run around
the Indiana State Fairgrounds
track.
Patterson said he felt sharper
than he has for any of his three
previous title defenses, and ob
servers said the champ’s combina
tions were working well.
London, working out in Munici
pal Gardens while Patterson drilled
in the Fairground Coliseum where
the fight will be held Friday night,
sparred three rounds with Dusty
Rhodes.
London’s camp expected him to
enter the ring at about 205 pounds,
some six pounds lighter than when
he dropped his British heavy
weight crown Jan. 12 to Henry
Cooper. Patterson will probably
go in at about 184.
stay. Catcher Randy Wortham op
ened the inning with a walk and
scored after Hickerson had rapped
a single over second and a passed
ball and a wild throw allowed him
to come home.
Plumlee reached first in that
frame on an error in the outfield,
scoring Hickerson, and advanced
to second when Stuffy Davis was
thrown out, third to first. Plum
lee came home on D. Davis’s double
to center.
Tech managed to get tw'o Aggies
out in the next frame before Wor
tham, Hickerson, Plumlee and both
Davis’s scattered singles over the
diamond to score two runs. The
other tw^o runs came on two con
secutive wild pitches by reliefer
Butch Adams.
The Aggies countered for three
more runs in the fourth frame on a
single, double and a homer over the
left field fence by Plumlee, his

Maroons Bop Whites, 24 - 8,
As Aggies End Spring Drills
Sophomore Jon Few and Fresh
man Rodger MacFaxiand proved
trouble can come in bunches Satur
day night on Kyle Field as the two
athletes led the Maroon team to
a 24-8 victory over the outclassed
White squad.
It was virtually a battle between
halfbacks with Few and MacFar-
land running from the left half
back slot on the Maroon team and
Jesse McGuire doing the honors
at that position for the Whites.
Few and MacFarland accounted
for 52 and 53 yards respectively
to cop ground-gaining honors for
their team while McGuire racked

Mustang Power Halts Aggies
As SMU Sweeps Two Tilts
Carl Trepagnier’s two home runs,
each with a man aboard, powered
the SMU Mustangs past the Ag
gies 5-4 Saturday for a sweep of
a two-game series at Kyle Field.
The Ponies won the series open
er Friday by one run also in a
5-4 decision. The Farmers now
stand 4-4 in Southwest Conference
play while the Mustangs are 4-5.
Errors were costly to the Aggies
in the Fi-iday tilt, as five miscues
cost them three unearned runs.
Marvin King was the winner and
Percy Sanderson the loser.
Little J. B. Carroll and big Don
Chase paced the Aggie sluggers in
khat contest with Chase hitting for
a double and a triple.
Trepagnier’s two wallops in the
Saturday game, each clearing the
Kyle Field football stand outside
right field, came in the third and
seventh innings, with the last cir
cuit blow bringing the Mustangs
from behind a 3-4 deficit.
SMU opened their scoring in the
first frame on an error on Tre
pagnier’s ground ball, a double by
Don Jansen and Lawrence Tanker-
sley’s single. Trepagnier was
caught in a rundown between third
and home after Jansen’s double,
but Jansen came home on a play
that caused a mild rhubarb.

— A LEGEND —
One night in ancient times,
three horsemen were riding
across an open desert. As they
passed through a dry river bed,
a voice called out of the night,
“Halt!” The riders reined in
their horses, and then the voice
ordered, “Dismount—pick up a
handful of pebbles and re
mount.”
When the horsemen were
again in their saddles, the voice
said “You have done as I have
commanded. Tomorrow at dawn
you will be both glad and sorry.”
Mystified, the three men rode
off into the night.
As the sun climbed above the
horizon the next morning, they
reached into their pickets. A
miracle had happened, for in
stead of the peebles, their hands
rubies and other precious stones,
were filled with diamonds,
And then they remembered
the strange omen. They were
both glad and sorry—glad they
had taken some, sorry they had
not taken more.

The Cadets, trailing 0-3 going

left field fence, his first of the
year.

Maroons Tally First
The Maroon team, quarterback
ed by veteran Charley Milstead,
took the ball on the opening play
and marched 60-yards on 11 plays
for the score. Fullback Gordon Le-
Bo'euf tallied on a three - yard
plunge over left guard. Milstead
passed to right halfback Randy
Sims for the points-after-touch-
down.
With time running out in the
first quarter McGuire scored the
lone touchdown for his team when
he took a handoff over right tackle,
reversed his field, and outran the
Maroon pack 56 yards- for the
score. The speedy freshman then
sped around right end for the PAT.
Caskey Plunges Over
The Maroons came right back in
the start of the second period with
a 65-yard march for their second
touchdown. Few made the longest
gain for the Maroons on this drive
with a 17-yard dash to the White
30 in a play that originated from
the single wing formation. Reserve
fullback Bob Caskey scored the
touchdown on a plunge over the
middle. Milstead passed to End
Ralph Smith for the PAT.
The Whites received the kickoff
and were held to a six-yard loss
on the three plays, forcing them
to punt out to their own 41. Few
made a fair catch at that point.
Angermiller Over
Six plays later the Maroon sec
ond team had marched the distance
for the score. Longest gain of the
series occured when MacFarland
took the ball up the middle, fum
bled, and Robert Garner recovered
for a 14-yard gain. Pete Anger-
miller scored for the Maroons off
left tackle and Quarterback Powell
Berry rah the ball across for the
PAT.

His performance in his first 14
games this season seems to indi
cate it. While his St. Louis Car
dinals are floundering in the Na
tional League race, Musial, 38, is
floundering at the plate.
The seven-time batting champ
ion, who has a lifetime major lea
gue average of .340 for 16 seasons,
has collected only 11 hits in 49
tries for a .224 mark. A year ago,
after hitting safely in his first 14
games, Musial was hitting .509
with 29 hits in 57 times at bat.
Musial has had only two extra
bases—both doubles—this season
and he has batted in five runs. The
only distinguishing features of his
performance were base hits that
