College Basebailers Travel To Big H For Practice Game With Rice By JOE CALLICOATTE The Aggie baseball team will make its second appearance of the 1961 season today as they travel to Houston for a practice bout with the Rice Owls. A&M will still be seeking to chalk up a mark in the win column after falling to Sam Houston State last Friday on Kyle Field, 7-5. Even though Friday’s game was the season opener, Coach Tom Chandler said he was quite dis appointed in the Cadets’ showing. The main thing that hurt was the A&M Bowling Team Sewes Up Title By LEE WILSON The A&M Match Bowling Team all but mathematically sewed up its second straight .Texas Inter collegiate Bowling Conference championship in San Antonio last Saturday. The Aggies, long recognized as one of the best college bowling teams in the Southwest, went into Saturday’s action leading the con ference by only seven games. Af ter matches with Southern Meth odist University, Arlington State College, and San Antonio College the Aggies found themselves with a solid twelve and one half game margin over the second place Po nies. Bowling for the Aggies were Larry Dantzler, a junior civil en gineering major from Dallas; Parks Mahaney, a senior electrical engineering major from Ft. Worth; John Tinney, a junior industrial education major from Longview; Bob “Possum” Korose, a freshman chemistry major from Houston; and Lee Wilson, an education ma jor from Austin. Accompanying the team was Marvin “Pro” But ler, economics profesor, who is the team faculty advisor. In the match with SMU the Ag gies set two new scoring records as they won four. In the second game they shot 1030, which repre sents a 206 average per man. They ended the match with a total pin score of 2890, a 192 average. High (men for A&M were Bob Korose, with 226-622, and Lee Wilson, 213- 627. The second match found the Ca dets taking three of four from the Arlington State Rebels. Parks Mahaney supplied the big guns as he shot 236-625. Larry Dantzler offered support with his 207-591. Rounding out the day’s activi ties, which saw the Aggies win 11 of 12 points, the match team swept four from San Antonio College. In this series the entire team shot relatively the same with Lee Wil son’s 232-606 being high. The victory was a sweet one for the team, as they had comments from SAC rooters about their sloppy strikes. In the end, however, they all looked the same on the score sheet. With but two matches left, the Aggies are comfortably on top of the heap by twelve and one half games. The standings are: Team A&M SMU ASC Texas SAC W L GB 55 17 — 42 y 2 29 Va 12 Va 371/2 341/2 171/2 341/2 371/2 201/2 32 40 23 The conference meets on Mar. 25 at the Memorial Student Cen ter Lanes before going to Dallas in May to round out the season on its yearly televised meeting. A&M will be bowling SMU and Arling ton State. Should the Aggies de feat the Ponies, they will cop the championship. s fielding errors, said Chandler, “and our hitting just wasn’t up to par.” Chandler pointed out, that to have a winning team, you must have one of several combinations. A team must have good hitting and a strong defense or a strong pitching staff. The Cadets are a little weak on the mound this sea son so Chandler said he was rely ing on the latter combination and as he put it, “We just didn’t work it that way Friday.” In Friday’s outing, Sam Houston jumped to a 3-0 lead in the third inning as a result of two errors and one hit. Three more runs were scored by the Bearcats in the top of the sixth inning as Jerry Warren relieved Starter Ed Sing- ley on the mound. Warren gave up four bases on balls, walking in one run, before Ray Davis banged out a single to score the fifth at sixth runs. Don Costlow came in during tt sixth inning to retire the side, li not before the final Sam Housto run was scored.

Sophomores Star In Scrimmage Game Saturday was a day for the sophomores as they lead the Ma roons past the Whites, 26-0, in a game-condition scrimmage on Kyle Field. The scrimmage wrapped up the second week of spring training with only two more to go. The second team backfield which is made up only of sopho mores—Quarterback Jim Linn- staedter, Halfbacks George Har gett and Phil Peter and Fullback Jerry Rogers—combined to score the first three touchdowns. Coach Jim Myers cited first team center, Jerry Hopkins, sec ond team center, Jerry Jenkins, and second team left tackle, George Plogan, for their outstanding play during the afternoon. Myers also liked the play of the entire second team line. The Maroon team consisted of the first and second units while At fast the Whites were made up of tliii and fourth squads. Rogers started off the scoria ), ave with a two-yard slant off tackli (on f e Hargett converted and the scor stood, 7-0.
