Hickerson Big Mainstay
Of Cadet SWC Title Drive
• By LARRY SMITH
Dick Hickerson, the big red
headed first sacker for the Aggies,
is one of the main reasons that
the Cadets are in contention for
the Southwest Conference baseball
title.
Dick has been a mainstay on the
baseball team ever since he .en
tered A&M in the fall of 1957.
The 6-5, 190-pound senior played
his high school ball with Stephen
F. Austin in Bryan where he made
the All-State baseball team his
senior year.
As a freshman, Dick doubled as
a basketball player and baseball
and did a good job in each.
First base has been Dick’s al
most exclusive home since he was
a Fish. He has started there all
of his varsity career.
A southpaw—both batting and
throwing—Dick is noted for scoop
ing with his big mitt. It is very
seldom that an infield throw with
in four feet of the bag gets by
him.
Now in his senior year, Hicker
son is the leading regular in the
season hitting department with a
.389 average. He is also the lead
ing RBI man with 16 to his credit,
and has smashed out two homers.
Dick leads the Ags in hits with
21, and has hit three triples.
In SWC play, Hickerson is im
pressive with the bat as he has
made good on seven out of 15 times
at bat for a .467 batting average.
In his junior year, Dick tried
his hand at pitching because of the
Cadet’s pitching shortage. He
ended wih a 1-2 record, but came
out with a 1.39 earned run average
in the SWC.
Dick got some valuable baseball
experience last summer as he
played semi-pro ball for the Sas
katoon Commodores in the West
ern Canadian League. Fish Coach
J. B. Carroll and Gary Herrington,
former SWC catcher, also played
for the Commodores.
Hickerson is a talented baseball
player and the major league scouts
know it. Several of them have
been giving him the eye.

. . . first sacker
BU, ACC, Kansas
Vie This Weekend
By The Associated Press
ABILENE — Baylor, Abilene
Christian College and Kansas hook
up in a triangular track and field
meet here Saturday with Earl
Young, the ACC olympian, making
his first outdoor appearance in the
440-yard dash.
Young, w 7 ho ran on the winning
1600-meter American relay team
in the Olympics, will not run on
the mile relay team. He will do
the 220 and a leg on. the 440-yard
relay team in addition to the 440.
With Young out of the mile re
lay, Abilene Christian isn’t likely
to do anything to its national col
legiate record of 3:07.9 set at the
Texas Relays last week.
Kansas isn’t expected to press
either Baylor or Abilene Christian
although entering a crack half-
miler in Kirk Hagen, who has done
1:50.5 this season; a top hurdler
in Charles Smith, and a good miler
in Bill Dotson.
The 100-yard dash should be a
sizzler with Dennis Richardson of
Abilene Christian, winner of the
event in the Texas Relays, match
ing strides with Roy Smalley and
Bill Kemp of Baylor. All are
capable of 9.5 or better.
Calvin Cooley, the Abilene Chris
tian hurdles and relay star, won’t
compete because of a groin injury.
He was an important member of
the 440-yard relay team.
Abilene, Midland and Ft. Worth
Arlington Heights will be in a
high school meet in connection with
the ACC-Baylor-Kansas triangular.
Neale Fraser Wins
River Oaks Tennis
Tourney In Rig H
HOUSTON—Neale Fraser, the
world’s top-ranked amateur, was
forced to a 13-11 first set Wed
nesday before defeating a young
college player who gained the
quarter-finals of the 27th River
Oaks Tennis Tournament.
The first set against Neal Mar
cus, Rice University junior from
Tampa,, Fla., required one hour
and 15 minutes, but the top-seeded
Australian completed the second
set of the 13-11, 6-1, match in 20
minutes.
While Marcus was holding serv
ice through 20 games with Fraser,
Frank Froehling, a Trinity Uni
versity freshman from Coral Ga
bles, Fla., was pulling his second
upset in two days by defeating
Rudy Hernondo of Detroit, Mich.,
6-3, 6-4. Froehling, the I960 jun
ior Wimbledon semi-finalist, Tues
day eliminated Bernard Bartzen,
the No. 1 U.S. amateur, 4-6, 6-4,
6-4.

Texas Inter scholastic League
Is Rounding Out Great Year
By HAROLD V. RATLIFF
Associated Press Sports Writer
The Texas Inter scholastic
League is rounding out is greatest
year in athletics. That is speak
ing from point of participants.
When the annual track and field
meet and the baseball tournament
are run off in the next six weeks
some 123,000 boys and 28,000 girls
will have competed in the sports
offered by the league.
Texas has more teams in foot
ball, basketball and track than any
other state in the nation. Only in
baseball does the Lone Star State
bow to anybody. Iowa has more
baseball teams. That may be
fixed soon, however.
There were 914 teams in football
with 48,000 boys playing on them.
This is only for A teams. There
were about 50,000 playing on B
and junior high school teams which
do not come under the administra
tion of the League.
Basketball had 1,089 teams with
23.000 boys. There were 842 girls
teams with 18,000 players.
Track has 1,089 teams with 25,-
000 running, jumping and throw
ing*. Also there were 210 junior
high school teams. The League
directs the junior high schools in
track, the only sport where the
juniors are under the administra
tion of the League.
Baseball has 670 teams with
12.000 boys playing the game. Golf
has 800 teams with 5,000. Tennis
has 950 teams in the boys division
and the same for girls, with 10,000
participating in each.
The League finds that football
is the biggest drawing cai*d. Best
estimates are that 8,000,000 paid
their way in to see 4,800 games
last season.
Basketball is next. Some 6,000,-
000 watch the cage campaign of
25,000 games.
The oldest sports under sponsor
ship of the League are track anil
tennis. Both started back in 1910,
Football and basketball came along
in 1920. Baseball was added in
1948 and golf in 1953.
The program is so big there's
little hope of any other sport being
put on the list in the near future
at least. There should be a place
for swimming, a sport that finds
Texas making terrific strides in
the past few years. Texas A&M
has been holding a state high
school swimming meet but would
undoubtedly like for the sport to
to be added to the Texas Inter
scholastic League program. The
recent state tournament at College
Station produced two American
records and five national scholastic
marks.
There has been some talk of
adding bowling to the sports pro
gram and there is obviously suffi-
cient interest to warrant it.
