Tuesday’s scheduled baseball opener against Texas Lutheran was postponed because of the un timely chill and will be played at 3 p.m. Thursday on the Kyle Field diamond. Aggie coach Tom Chandler and the TLC mentor decided not to risk having any of their baseball- ers hurt right off the bat in the 1963 season. Chandler was pleased with Sat urday’s intrasquad game and thinks he has found “who wants to play.” Pitchers Johnny Crain, Richard Seller and Ed Singley will prob ably be used in the Thursday opener. A&M will be counting on out fielders Robert McAdams, Ray Hall and third baseman Bill Han cock, last season’s SWC batting king, for most of the big hitting. Hall, a senior center fielder from Fort Worth, went four for four in the Saturday game. He hit two homers in a row, including a grand slammer on a line shot that hit the ramp under the football stadium. Gary Cavasas will probably go at left field. Bill Puckett will han dle the catching- chores. Frank Stark will be at first, Bill Grochett at second and Jack Singley at short. meant the difference in the game but the Aggies weren’t able to take advantage. With a little over a minute left and the Maroon trailing by three points, Bill Robinette fouled Rice’s Larry Phillips who missed his free throw. The Cadets, who had scored only three field goals in the sec ond half after shooting a phe nomenal 56 per cent in the first half, rebounded the missed shot but didn’t score. THIRTY SECONDS later with the Ags only one point shy fol lowing a bucket by Robinette, Jei'- ry Windham fouled Warren Schick. Schick missed his shot, and the Cadets again cleared the boards and quickly called time out. When play resumed, Paul Tim mins fell short with a long jump shot and the Owls closed out the game with a pair of free throws by Phillips. The loss left the Aggies with a 16-8 season record, while Rice fin ished with 12 wins and 11 losses for the full route. Both teams had 9-5 conference records to tie for second place. THE SCORING battle between Bennie Lenox and Kendall Rhine for the SWC title ended in a tie with each having 352 points. Rhine, who trailed Lenox by 11 points going into the game, scored 22 in the first half and seven in the second for 29 points while the Lynx netted 18 before fouling out midway through the final period. Lenox’s personal battle with Carroll Broussard’s school scoring records ended in a draw with the Clear Creek guard bveakiiJ record for most points ill ference season, the old out 339. However, Lenox needd field goals to hold the ras most field goals in a seasonj and only netted two. tv When surance, happen . man says "no" toll me of three thiniil 1.

Most men simply think Menthol-Iced Skin Bracer is the best after-shave lotion around. Because it cools rather than burns. Because it helps heal shaving nicks and scrapes. Because it helps prevent blemishes. So who can blame them if Bracer’s crisp, long-lasting aroma just happens to affect women so remarkably? Of course, some men may use Mennen Skin Bracer because of this effect. — How intelligent!
