THE BATTALION
McAdams Sparks Win
Over Longhorns, 4-3
Sophomore Robert McAdams hit
a two-run homer in the bottom of
the eighth and stopped a near-dis
astrous fly ball in the top of the
ninth for the Aggies Saturday,
leading them to a 4-:i victory over
the Texas Longhoi-ns.
The winning pitcher was Ed
Singley, now 2-0 for the season,
who gave the Longhorns nine hits
but bailed himself out of several
tight spots. The Ag infielders
hedped with two clutch double
plays. They now have 16 for ‘11
games.
The Aggies handed formidable
Tom Belcher his first conference
dejfeat. The Texas right-hander

test and had defeated A&M clubs
five times previously. Belcher is
now 4-1.
Coach Tom Chandler’s baseball-
ers collected only five hits but got
them when they counted. Trail
ing 3-1 in the bottom of the
eighth, the Ags boomed, two big
ones and put three men across.
Pinch-hitting for Singley with
one man away in that period, Bill
Hancock put a shot down the
third-base line and when the dust
had cleared he was safe on third
with a triple.
Jack Singley then punched a
line-drive single into center field,
shoving Hancock across the plate.
Belcher put the next man out
but McAdams met his fast ball
and blasted it 330 feet into the
gusty wind over the left field
fence. His round-tripper drove
Singley home and put the Farmers
out ahead, 4-3.

Maroon Offense
Stops White, 24-0
Jim Keller, Travis Reagan and
Jim Linnstaedter led their ma-
roon-shirted teammates to a 24-0
victory over the White squad Sat
urday night in the annual intra
squad game that climaxed Coach
Hank Foldberg’s first spring
training session at A&M.
Keller completed four out of
four passes in the first half for
83 yards. The Maroons connected
on nine of 11 passes in the game
foi* 157 yards.
The Maroons took command
eai'ly in the game, receiving the
opening 1 kickoff and driving 80
yards in four plays. The drive
was climaxed by a 30-yard toss
from Keller to Ken McLean for
a touchdown.
The ball changed hands twice
and the Whites were twice unable
to move the ball. Driving 55 yards
in 12 plays, the Maroon squad fi
nally pushed Reagan over from
the 1-foot line for the second
score, the Whites making an ad
mirable goal-line stand for three
downs.
Soon after the second quarter
began, the Whites, still failing to
make a first down, had to give
the ball up again and the Ma
roons were also stymied after one
first down.
After four more unsuccessful
downs, Lee Roy Caffey had to
punt the ball out of bounds on the
Maroon 25. With James Willen-
borg in command, the Maroons
moved 75 yards in 11 plays and
Linnstaedter carried across on a
27-yard end sweep.
Ronnie Brice kicked his third
extra point and a few minutes
later, after the Whites failed in
their last chance to make a first
down in the half, he booted a 27-
yard field goal.
There was no scoring in the
second half, although the Whites
came alive twice. Sophomore Mel
vin Simmons of the Maroons re
covered a Caffey fumble on his
own 5-yard line to end the only
serious White threat. Simmons
was a standout in the line for the
Maroons.

and Thad Crooks finished with
a fine 1:53.0 for the victory.
