Offense Ahead Of Defense
In Southwest Conference
Special To The Battalion
DALLAS, April 28 — Offense is
far ahead of defense as the South
west Conference baseball teams
head into the second half of the
campaign this week.
The hitting is terrific, the field
ing mediocre and the pitching un
impressive as Texas moves on un
beaten in defense of its champion
ship. The Longhorns will be chal
lenged in Waco Friday and Sat
urday by an improving Baylor
crew that is a hot runner-up in
team batting to Texas (.325 vs.
.326) and leading the league in
fielding (.949).
Texas Has 30 Errors
Strangely enough, Texas is a
poor last in fielding, having com
mitted 30 errors while achieving
eight victories and one tie.

football hero, has roared into the

.619. Slowed early by a shoulder
injury, he has been red hot at the
hot corner since becoming a reg
ular. In a recent game with SMU
he handled 10 assists in a single
game ^s his fielding kept pace
with his hitting.
Six batters in the league are over
the ,400-mark and three of them
are in the TCU lineup that has
only a 4-4 recprd despite a .322
team batting average. They are
Cliff Justice (.462), Buddy lies
(.429) and Leon Baze (.412), the
third baseman who leads the lea
gue in home runs with six.
SMU’s Glynn Gregory, who shares
the greatest number of hits (15)
with four others, has hit safely in
every conference game. So have
Pat Rigby, the Texas third base
star who has not been struck out
this season, and Catcher Dick Mul
len of the Mustangs.
Making Comeback
Phil Hipps, the Texas second
baseman who is making a come
back as a senior, leads in runs
batted in (16) and is co-leader in
number of hits with Gregory,
A&M’s Ray Hall and Rigby. Out
fielder David Skinner of the Long
horns leads in runs scored (16),
while Terry Cobb, A&M’s second
baseman has pulled up even with
Baze for slugging honors. Each
has 32 total bases, and the Aggie
has four homers, one triple and
five doubles among his thirteen
hits.
Texas has four pitchers who are
unbeaten, with Bobby Callaway
heading the list with three victor
ies. Teamate Tom Belcher has
the better ERA, however, and his
8-0 shut out of Rice last week was
one of only two achieved in the
league this year. The other was
by TCU’s Don Schmidt, who blank
ed Rice in a six-inning game. Sch
midt, Weldon McFarland of Rice
and Jack Ward of Baylor also have
fashioned three victories each, with
the Frog southpaw the busiest
through 37-% innigs of duty.

Both Track Teams
Idle This Week
This weekend will be used as a
nursing period for both the varsity
and freshman track teams since
the varsity had to drop out of the
Drake Relays because of injuries.
Track Coach Charlie Thomas
said that the Aggies will be unable
to make the trip to Des Moines,
Iowa, for the annual Drake Relays
because two top sprinters are out
with pulled muscles. Both Bob
Clark and Ed Williams have been
troubled with injuries for over a
month.
If the Aggies were going to
make the trip they would be tak
ing some good times with them in
Curtis Roberts’ 9.5 100-yhrd dash
and Eugene Dornak’s 20.9 in the
220.
E. L. Ener set a new school
record in the mile run at the Dallas
Invitational when he ran a 4:14.6
which bettered J. D. Hampton’s
old record of 4:17.2 set in 1949.
Thad Crooks had his best time
of the year when he ran the 880-
yard run in 1:53.2 while competing
in the Border Olympics.
The fastest times in both the
high and low hurdles this year are
held by Kenneth Rippstein when
he raced to a 15.0 in the 120-yard
high at a meet in Austin and a
24.5 in the 220-yard low hurdles
at Beaumont.
In the field events Charles Tie-
mann holds the best distances in
the shot put with a toss of 50-9
feet and also in the discus with
a sling of 148-0 feet. Jim Brewer
at Beaumont threw the javelin
199-lli which is the best throw by
an Aggie this season.
So far this year the Fish have
looked very impressive behind the
sprinting of Pat Mitchell, R. E.
Merritt and Thomas Burns. Mitch
ell holds the top times for the
freshmen in the 100-yard dash
with a 9.7 and a 20.9 in the 220-
yard dash. He ran the century in
the time of 9.7 in both the Austin
and Houston Triangular meets.
R. E. Merritt scooted to a time
of 48.6 in the 440-yard dash in the
Austin meet to hold the top spot
in that race for the Fish.
Big Danny Roberts, the man with
the muscles, is still in the lead in
the javelin with a throw of 187-5,
in the shot put with a 54-1 toss
and in the discus with a
Both the varsity and the fresh
men will travel to Austin on May
4 to compete in a triangular meet
with Texas and Rice.
