s THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Wednesday, February 20, 1963 Coach, Baseballers Start ’63 Season At Friday Practice Coach Tom Chandler and the 1963 Aggie baseballers got into the swing of things with their first formal workout Friday. Almost intact after last year, and a sea son older and wiser, the Cadets are apt to make up the best team at A&M in years. Five men are missing from last season’s lineup; only two of them were starters. Chandler will miss David Johnson, last year’s most valuable player in the SWC, who could have played but will instead report to the Baltimore Oriole training camps in March. Out fielder Roger Crouch decided to give up baseball for studies this season. The entire pitching staff, which only slipped up twice last season,' will return. Veteran standouts Chuck McGuire, Richard Belief, Ed Singley and Johnny Grain will join five more youngsters on the mound. Bill Puckett and Arthur Uresti give two-deep experience behind the plate. Offensively, the Ags can count on defending SWC batting- champ Bill Hancock, a junior infielder from Shreveport, La., and lads like Robert McAdams, Ray Hill and Frank Stark — all proven sluggers. Despite the loss of Johnson at short, Chandler figures to have a strong defensive effort with veter an Bill Grochett back at second base. Footballer George Hargett and newcomer Jerry Balard will help in the infield as well.

Texas took an early lead on the shooting of Larry Franks and held a 10-4 margin in the opening minutes. A&M caught the Long horns midway through the first half and gained a 25-24 lead on a pair of fre6 throws by Bill Robinette. The Farmers built the margin to five, 35-30, but the Steers cut it down to one point, 37-36, at halftime. Lenox hit 17 points in the first half and the Cadets out- rebounded Texas 23-13 with Jerry Windham pulling off the most. Texas went ahead as Franks hit a jump shot for the first bucket of the second half. The score was tied again minutes later as Lenox dropped in two foul shots. The pair of charity tosses started a string in which Lenox scored the next 23 Aggie counters. But the junior from Clear Creek couldn’t keep pace with the whole Texas team and the Longhorns started pulling away. Lenox’s 43 points came on 17 free throws and 13 shots from the field. The total broke the existing recoi’d of 37 set by Carroll Brous sard against Texas and Arkansas in 1961 and tied by Lenox against Arkansas last Saturday night.

Falcon picked the world's roughest winter ordeal to reveal an astonishing new brand of total per formance. Four days and three nights through an inferno of ice, snow, freezing fog, endless curves —2,500 miles against an implacable time schedule, designed to try a car's reliability, road-holding and performance to the ultimate. Experts said a first-time car couldn't hope to finish—and two thirds of the 296 competitors did drop out. But Falcon not only placed first and second in its class, it defeated every car, regardless of class, on the brutal Chambery-Monte Carlo final leg, set best time among all finishers in all of the six special test sections — and showed its heels to every sedan in the dramatic three-lap elimination on Monaco's famous round-the-houses course. You couldn't get better proof of total performance anywhere! *You can read the dramatic report pf the world's most rugged winter Rallye in Sportk Illustrated's February 4 issue. And you can get the full story of this and Ford's other total performance accom plishments from your Ford Dealer. ::T " ’ 7 FALCONS TOOK CURVES LIKE THESE—hundreds upon hundreds of them—and proved that road holding is not a European monopoly. In fact, Sports Illustrated magazine called them "the new kings of the mountains" and quoted a London newspaper as declaring, "The Falcons are part of a power and performance plan that will shake up motoring in every country of the world." DEEP SNOW on the Col de Turini special section didn't even slow the "Sprint." And sure-footed Falcon also amazed the Rallye experts by its traction on glare ice. "LACETS" is French for zigzags like these. It means "bootlaces", but to Rallye drivers it means an ultimate test of steering, stability, brakes and, above all, durability. BEST OF ALL "TOURING" CATEGORY CARS in the three-lap Monaco circuit was the Falcon piloted by Swedish ice expert Bo Ljungfeldt. It was surpassed by only three cars, all of them two- seater sports cars in the Grand Touring category. STORMING ALONG IN THE FRENCH DUSK, a Falcon plunges into the third night behind the special lights that let a Rallye driver see around curves, spot patches of ice, penetrate fog.
