THE BATTALION
Sophomores Figure Big
In ’60 Baseball Team Hopes
A&M went from the top to the
bottom in one year in Southwest
Conference baseball competition
and will lean heavily upon soph
omores in 1961.
Winner of the conference title
in 1959, Coach Tom Chandler’s
Aggies fell to the bottom last
spring with a 5-17 mark, one of
the lowest in recent years.
The Aggies’ lone SWC victory
last season was a 16-6 verdict
over SMU. The 1-11 conference
record left A&M in last place.
Chandler sees brighter things
ahead for his varsity, though,
since his frosh team won 10 of 11
games and include a perfect-
pitched game against the Baylor
Cubs by Ed Singley, stylish right-
Tennis Team Up
Under New Coach
Under the guidance of Omar
Smith, first-year tennis coach at
A&M, the Aggies drove to a fifth-
place finish in the Southwest Con
ference last spring and should be
stronger next year.
Two members were lost through
graduation—Captain Bob Jones of
Garland and Frank Blazek of
Elizabeth, N. J.
Returning will be Richard Hal
ter of Baytown, Tommy Morris of
Waco and David Knox of Green
ville. Halter will be a senior this
season while the other two will
be juniors.
Members of last year’s frosh
team include Larry Cannon of
Corpus Christi, Jerry Cox of Palo
Alto, Calif., Bill Miller of Coro
nado, Calif., and Mike Young of
Beeville.
hander from Oklahoma City.
Singley, his twin brother Jack,
a third baseman, Catcher Bill
Puckett; Shortstop Terry Cobb
and Outfielder Ray Hall were the
stars of the 1960 Fish team that
won all its games except splitting
a pair with the Texas Yearlings.
Chandler loses by graduation
Captain J. B. Carroll, Catcher Don
Chase, Outfielder Bill Houchin
and Infielder Dink Patterson. Re
turning lettermen include Byron
Barber, John Burton, Don Costlow,
Clifford Davis, Dick Hickerson,
Johnny Hudson, Olen Jordan and
Randy Wortham.

’59-’60 Cagers Set Records,
But ’60-’61 Looks Brighter
Basketball at A&M under Coach
Bob Rogers has been booming the
mst three years and the 1960-61
quad should continue the recent
trend.
In the three seasons Rogers has
been at Aggieland the Cadet cag-
rrs have risen from the cellar to
become Southwest 'Conference
’ontenders. Although the Aggies
■f last season had a late slump,
osing three of four games, the
'9-5 record posted by Rogers’
'barges was the best in decades.
In addition to many upset wins
hi loop competition the past three
years, A&M won two pre-season
tournaments in the conference
Yacas at Houston, and retired the
ast two trophies since the con-
’erence fathers voted to discon
tinue the annual pre-season tour
ley that began in 1951. Those
/ins in 1958-59 and 1959-60 were
the only two tournaments won by
he Aggies.
Gone from the 1959-60 team are
3-7 Wayne Lawrence, 6-3 Wilmer
Box and 6-4 Kelly Chapman, but
returning will be the exciting
Stanley twins, Pat and Don, of
Buna; Carroll Broussard of Port
Arthur; Wayne Annett of Chicota
plus 7-0 Lewis Qualls of Houston,
6-7 Jerry Windham of Hamilton
and 6-0 Charlie Minor of Pampa
up from the freshman team.
Broussard will return for his
junior season after a fabulous
sophomore year in which he be
came the school’s first 400-point
producer and if he continues his
fast pace will easily become A&M’s
first 1,000-pointer for a career.
Broussard, 6-5 ace who does every
thing well, put his name in the
A&M record book four times last
^eason and before he plays out his
eligibility in two more seasons
should own all or most of the
Cadet records.
Replacing the annual SWC pre
season tournament are two double-
headers at Houston and Lubbock.
The Aggies will switch opponents
in these two affairs with the Uni
versity of Houston and Texas.
