The Battalion College Station (Brazos County)^ Texas j-iAUi.ouaj', ivxcty i, ±vov Aggies Meet Texas Today on Kyle Field Texas’ fabulous Elmer Rod, the winningest pitcher in Southwest Conference circles, is scheduled to toe the mound at Kyle Field today against Percy Sanderson, the tire less Aggie righthander. Rod goes into today’s contest with a 6-1 won-loss record oppos ing the 4-2 mark of Sanderson. Rod has struck out 28 men during sea son play while compiling an earn ed run average of 2.33. He has walked only nine men in his seven conference outings. Sanderson is only a step behind in the strike out department, send ing 2 men down swinging in 41 innings. The Aggie hurler has been wild at times, issuing 20 free bases to the opposing batters. His ERA is 1.63. The 6-0 senior threw a total of 13 innings last weekend when he received credit for two wins over the TCU Frogs. Sanderson threw 12 innings in one game and came on in relief in the ninth frame in the other to record the win. A&M has the edge in batting, boasting a team average of .279 as compared to the Steers’ .262. Both teams have four sluggers batting over .300, with the Farm er’s Randy Wortham leading the batsmen with a .385 average. Wortham will be starting cat cher for the Aggies in place of Gary Herrington who is out with an injured shoulder. If Herrington should get to take his turn at bat, he will be an edge for the Cadets with his .379 average. Other Aggies batting over .300 are J. B. Carroll, .359; Stuffy Davis, .300; and pitcher Wayne Schaper, .333. Schaper will be on the mound for the Cadets in Fri day’s contest. The leading Longhorn sluggers are Pete Embry, .324; Wayne Me Donald, .375; and George Myers, .333. McDonald leads the steers in runs-batted-in with 20 to his credit followed by Myers’ 19.

The Longhorns have dominated the SWC sprints for the past sev eral years but Taylor Jones, Rice sophomore, is favored to win both the 100 and 220-yard dash events Saturday afternoon on Kyle Field. With Eddie Southern going af ter the quarter-mile record and not defending his two sprint titles Jones could become the first non- -Longhorn to win the two dash events since A&M’s Bill Stalter won the 100 and 220 in 1951. Jones is a big, strong runner who finished second in last year’s freshman division sprint races to Texas’ Ralph Alspaugh. But Als- paugh has trailed Jones every time they have met this spring. If Jones continues his dominnatibn &f Alspaugh this weekend Texas domination of the sprints will be ended, at least temporarily. The Orange and White, though, are still top favorites to win both relays this spring and barring un relay events. The Longhorns car ry the nation’s best times in both relays this spring nd barring un foreseen accidents or injuries will take both baton races again. Southern, the 1956 Olympic ace, could possibly win seven events in FISHERMEN WON’T TALK MADISON, Wis. GP)—State fish experts here don’t agree that fish ermen brag too much. Quite the opposite, they say. Because fish ermen are reluctant to talk about their exploits, they pose a serious handicap to scientific fish arrange ment. Fishermen probably keep things to themselves, they add, be cause big stories draw competition. Automobiles are one of the saf est places possible during an electrical storm, says the National Geographic Society.
