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.

The Texas Longhorns added
another win to their string of SWC
victories despite a record breaking
43 point performance by Aggie
guard Bennie Lenox by toppling
the Cadets 83-73 in Austin Tues
day night.
A capacity crowd saw a hard
foug-ht ballgame with nip and tuck
action until the Steers pulled away
in the final five minutes.
The win moved Texas within
one game of clinching the confer

Two special games will be play
ed in the A&M Consolidated High
Schol gym , this week —- one with

events. Guy’s score won him a
place on the regional team and
an all-expense paid trip to Buffalo,
N.Y., for the National ACU Tourn
ament in April.
Korose rolled 1,807 for the three
event and fourth in all-events. But
due to a rule allowing only one
representative per school on the re
gional team, he will not make the
trip to Buffalo.
a 10-0 record. The Aggies dropped
into third place with a 6-4 slate.
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.
In his last three games, the
cool sharpshooter has averaged a
phenomenal 38.3 points per game
and has made 49 free throws.
In the preliminary game, the
A&M Fish won a thriller from the
Texas Shorthorns, 61-59.

HUfiON (SHEW KING OF IKE MOUNTAINS
IN TOUGHEST 2,500« MONIE CARLO RAUYI
Special edition Falcon V-8 "Sprint"
defeats the world's best in fina!
490-mile test section on icy
Alpine cliff roads ... then
outperforms every sedan on
famous Monaco circuit!
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.

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.
America’s liveliest,
most carefree cars!
