A&M countered with three runs in the next inning to go ahead to 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 ’irst of the season. Tech scored two runs in the next Tame wJrile the Cadets could push cross only one. Scoring ended in i.he eighth wiren the Red Raiders score their final tally on two singles and a wild pitch. 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 up 34 yards in nine carries to lead 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. Tankersley had hit a liner into Jim Owens, 31-year-old Univer sity of Washington football coach, served six years under coach Paul (Bear) Bryant, three at Kentucky and three at Texas A. & M. — 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. LIFE INSURANCE IS LIKE THAT. EUGENE RUSH American National Insurance Co.
