This afternoon on Kyle Field, with weather permitting, the Cadets play host to the TCU Horned Frogs, A&M defeated the Frogs earlier in the year at Fort Worth, 10-5. Through five conference games, the Frogs have been having their troubles, with a 1-4 record. In season play they are 7-6. Despite the rather mediocre sea son record, the Frogs have some impressive batting averages — which means they are weak in an other department, pitching. In SWC competition, six TCU starters are batting over .300 with centerfielder Bob Bigley leading the pack with a .471 average. Leon Baze, TCU’s rightfielder and last year’s SWC home run king, is hit ting an even .400. Rox Covert, TCU Coach Frank Windegger’s shortstop, is hitting .500, but he has only been to bat twice in conference play. That one hit was a homer against Baylor. Others batting over the .300 mark are second baseman David Terry, with .333; leftfielder Jay Walrath, with .381; and Don Reynolds, the first sacker with .318. Walrath is the team’s leader in three season marks; runs with 21, hits with 23 and RBIs with 19. Windegger is expected to start John Serben, a 6-4, 230-pound junior, on the mound against the Aggies. The 20-year-old right hander owns a 0-1 SWC record and is 1-1 for the season. Aggie Coach Tom Chandler will probably put righty Chuck McGuire against the Frogs. McGuire is 2-1 for the season and 1-1 in confer ence. His loss was to Baylor, 2-0. Ace reliever Johnny Crain will be in the bullpen if McGuire should run into any trouble. Although A&M’s batting aver ages may not be too impressive, the Aggies get the timely hits that bring in the runs and win ball games. Through 13 season games, the batting leader is shortstop Dave Johnson, who has a .421 aver age. He also leads the team in hits with 16, doubles with six, total bases with 31 and RBIs with 13. Ed Singley, a pitcher, has proved that he can hit the ball too. He has been to the plate 12 times and has connected on five occasions for a .417 average.

Bill Puckett . Ags’ top catcher point to work on. The fact that a boy may be smart as a football player doesn’t count a mark on his status as an egg head. Actually, the athlete with sense is more sought after today than ever before. The main reason is that the colleges are getting stric ter. The athlete now is expected to make his courses as well as those who spend all their time studying. Southwest Conference coaches say that the first thing they look for today is the fellow with good grades; then they in vestigate his athletic ability. It’s a far cry from the days of the old Oil Belt of Texas school boy football. It was said that a boy didn’t have to make much of Wally Butts, the former Georgia coach, had a story to tell about dumb football players. It seems the fullback had failed a course and was given another examina tion. But the teacher found his answers were the same as another student who sat next to him so he failed the boy. The coach pro tested. “Well, they were the same questions; why shouldn’t they have the same answers?” asked the coach. “That’s what I thought,” said the teacher, “until I came to the answer for the last question.
