WHEN TIL FERDENZI, base-
ill writer of the New York Jour-
ll-American, was talking to
alph Houk about his l r ankee in-
eld, he asked him to set a price.
"1‘ve got nothing against those
ayers of the 1910 A’s,” said
ouk. “I never saw them play,
ut I don’t care how good they
ere. My men are better. It’s a
million infield. Yes, it is, and
students," It > ahead and write that if you
ant.
“This is the big story of this
all club. It’s that defensive in-
eld. Where have you ever seen
aother like it? From corner to
rnier, it’s just amazing. Nothing
ets through there unless it’s
apped real sharp through the
ole.”
HOUK BECAME more enthusi-
siie as he warmed to the task.
“I’m serious about this,” he
aid. “Compare it with any Yan-
ee infield—and there have been
ittie good ones. All that I can re-
all had one, or maybe two, slow
ays or guys who were getting a
ttle over the hill.
“This one is different. They are
oung and with the exception of
#e Pepitone — an outstanding
ielder — they’ve got experience,
ltd they are all well under 30
ears of age.
“ALL OF THEM have great
ange to either side. All of them
te fast. Pepitone has done a fine
»b at first base.
“He’s got a big glove and he
as so much range that Bobby
TICES
iiibek gets a lift, too. And what
:ets past Clete Boyer at third
use?
“It’s the best defensive infield
a baseball.”

To Bullpen.;
Minors Rumor
CLEVELAND (A 3 ) — Is Bo Be
linsky, the colorful southpaw pitch
er, headed for the minor leagues?
That’s a decision for Los An
geles Angels General Manager
Fred Haney.
The Los Angeles Herald-Exam
iner indicated in a story Monday
that may be the fate of the 26-
year-old playboy hurler who has
been hit hard this season and has
a 1-7 record.
BUT MANAGER Bill Rigney
threw cold water on that report.
“We haven’t even discussed
sending Bo to the minors,” Rig
ney said. “He’s got enough stuff
to pitch in the majors so why
should we send him down.”
What’s wrong with Belinsky ?
“He doesn’t get enough outs,”
Rigney quipped. “He’s been wild.
I don’t know what his trouble is.
He was great in spring training.
Now he gets behind on the batters
and has to come in with a pitch
and—bang!

“HE’S DISAPPOINTED and so
are we. We’re going to put him
in the bullpen for awhile and see
if pitching coach Marv Grissom
can straighten him out. I hope to
use him as a long man in relief.”
Rigney said Belinsky’s night
time activities haven’t been a prob
lem. The dapper pitcher is en
gaged to Mamie Van Doren, a
blonde film beauty. He’s been a
familiar figui’e in the Hollywood
night spots.
“He’s been behaving himself
pretty well this season,” Rigney
said. “I don’t keep close tabs on
what he does at night. That’s his
business as long as he doesn’t get
in trouble. He knows that if he
wants money and fame — and he
does —* that he’ll have to do some
better pitching.”
BUD FURILLO of the Herald-
Examiner wrote that Rigney gave
this response to a query about Be
linsky’s future:
A&M In Running
For Randy Matson,
Pampa Weight Star
ABILENE DP)—Randy Matson,
the big schoolboy weight star from
Pampa, was supposed to be trying
for national scholastic records in
the shot and discus when he com
peted in the West Texas Track
and Field Federation here Satur
day.
He didn’t make them—his shot
throw of 65 feet 1 inch and discus
toss of 188 feet 9% inches were
well off the national marks.
So he just moved up to the sen
ior division where they throw the
16-pound shot instead of the 12-
pound ball. He hurled it 58 feet 8
inches which betters the Southwest
Conference record of 57 feet 9
inches by almost a foot.
It is also the second best throw
of all time for the 16-pound shot
in Texas. Danny Roberts of A&M
has the best when he pitched it 59
feet 3% inches at the Texas Re
lays.
PAMPA (A 3 ! — Randy Matson,
the Pampa schoolboy who throws
the shot and discus farther than
the collegians, said Monday he had
narrowed his college preference
down to three schools — Texas,
A&M and Southern California.
Matson said it would be June
before he made his choice.

“See me Tuesday. I don’t know
if he has any major league options
left. I haven’t seen Bo throw it
once this year the way he did in
spring training.”
That was right after Belinsky
was blasted in New York Sunday,
giving up eight i*uns in two in
nings. “I may have been excited,”
Rigney said Monday. “It’s not im
portant whether I deny saying it
or not.”
RIGNEY SAID the Angels
haven’t discussed trading Belinsky
either. “We’re not trying to ped
dle him,” he said. “We want him
to pitch for Los Angeles the way
we know he can pitch.”
The Herald-Examiner quoted Be
linsky as saying:
“I’m bewildered. I’m jinxed. I’m
bugged. I can’t sleep worrying
about my pitching . . . I’ve never
been more serious about pitching.”

jiuMGR KEYSTONE MAN
Grochett Is Bat Champ
BY JIM BUTLER
Battalion Sports Editor
A diminutive second baseman,
who previously had to depend heav
ily on his slick glovework to keep
him in the lineup, turned tiger for
the Aggies and ended up pacing
the basepaths and the team in
hitting.
Bill Grochett, junior from Hous
ton St. Pius, hit .321 in 20 games
after being sidelined with a sore
shoulder early in the season. Last
season Grochett hit a lowly .205.
The only other Cadet to scratch
the .300 mark was Bryan sopho
more Jerry Ballard. The slender
shortstop had a .308 season aver
age.
Ballard was also the leader in
hits with 32. Centerfielder Ray
Hall had 28 safeties while Bill
Hancock and Robert McAdams had
26 apiece.
Hall and thh’dsacker Hancock
Ernie Davis
Foundation
Established
CLEVELAND (A 3 )—Ernie Davis
will fight another battle against
the deadly blood disease that took
his life, through the Ernie Davis
Foundation for leukemia research.
Arthur B. Modell, president of
the Cleveland Browns, said a few
hours after the 23-year-old Davis’
death Saturday that the club would
make a substantial contribution to
start such a project.
Davis, an All-America halfback
at Syracuse University and the
nation’s greatest collegiate foot
ball player of 1961, passed away
peacefully at Lakeside Hospital
after a 13-month fight against
acute leukemia. He was under se
dation at the end.
It was Davis’ great constitution,
his spirit and unflagging desire to
play pro football that kept him
going during his ordeal, Dr. Aus
tin Weisberger said. Dr. Weisber-
ger, a prominent blood specialist
and Davis’ personal physician dur
ing his long illness, said his par
ticular disease — acute monocytic
leukemia — is the worst of all the
forms of leukemia.
Three Ags On SWC Nine
Three Texas Aggies—Chuck McGuire, pitcher; Bill Han
cock, third base; and Ray Hall, centerfield—were selected by
the coaches to the All-Southwest Conference baseball team.
TCU and Texas tied for the championship. The co
champs landed nine men on the team.
Three Texas selections—first baseman Butch Thomp
son, pitcher Bob Myer and shortstop Bill Bethea—were
unanimous picks. TCU had two players who also received
all six votes—pitcher Lance Brown and centerfielder Bib
Bigley.
Others on the team were Gary London, Texas and Freddy
Jones, TCU, who tied for catcher; Bill McAdams, TCU, second
base; Ronnie Goodwin, Baylor, untility infielder; Jay Wal-
rath, TCU, outfielder; and Joe Tigett, Rice, utility outfielder.
Bill Grochett of A&M, who led A&M team batting and
had a .959 fielding average, got two votes for second base.
Hall is the only graduating senior from A&M to make
the mythical team. He hit .302 and fielded .978 in winding
up his collegiate career.
McQuire posted a 3-4 SWC record and pitched 60 Vi in
nings during Conference play. Hancock led the team in RBI’s
with 20.
The Aggies finished third in the SWC race with a 9-6
record.
ARMY, WHAT IS AGGIELAND TO YOU?
Aggieland means many different things to many
different people. To some it is the place they met their
lifetime friends and received their formal education,
to others it is the place they learned how to be a man
and to get along with their fellow man.
Although Aggieland may have a special meaning
for each Aggie, all have memories of yelling for that
Fightin’ Aggie Team as we beat T. U. or of singing The
Twelfth Man when we didn’t yell loud enough.
Army, when we go home after these finals let’s
throw our chests out and tell the world that we are proud
to be a Fightin’ Texas Aggie. Let’s keep alive the
heritage left to us by our buddies we’ve honored with
Silver Taps who are no longer able to share it with us.
Ole Army Lou ’32
shared the leadership in circuit
blows with six. McAdams and last
ed for five each.
Hancock and Hall also paced the
team in runs scored with 18. Mc
Adams had seven doubles to lead
year’s leader Frank Stark connect-
the club in that depaiAment and
shared the strikeout title with
Stark, each fanning: 26 times.
The runs-batted-in and stolen
base crowns went to Hancock. The
Louisiana redhead drove in 25 runs
and stole eight bases. Coach Tom
Chandler had the squad running
more this year and had 40 stolen
bases, 15 more than last season.
