Cadets, Raiders Meet Here Today | Aggie baseballers take on Texas P'ech today in Kyle Field at 3 p.m., hoping to even their score in the ■vin-loss column. I After Tuesday’s loss to Houston, the Cadets stand 3-4 for the sea- j. son, however, one of their victories was over SMU to give them one win in conference play. ■ Tech’s record is perfect, but they have only played two games this year. They have beaten West Texas State 18-8 and 17-11. h The Ags are in top shape phys ically with the exception of Don Davis, shortstop, who injured his knee in the conference opener with SMU. I Don Costlow, David Pitcock and Olen Jordan will probably make up the mound staff for the Aggies. Charles Flanagin is slated to start on the mound for the Red Raiders. Del Ray Mounts, who gained recognition on the basket ball court earlier this year, is also a top pitcher and^ boasted a 4-0 record as a freshman last year. The Ags have been packing a little more punch at the plate in the last two games and have brought their team batting aver age to .250. Henry Batten is at the top of the list with his .500 followed by Dink Patterson’s .400. Most of the starters have pulled above the .200 mark which is a marked improvement over last week’s count. J. B. Carroll is still having his problems at the plate, but will get a chance to come up in today’s* game. INTRAMURALS I Pan American copped the Class ||) championship in tennis by de feating Law.
