BAT THAT BEAT SMU
Frank Stark was sad news for Mustangs.
FROM THE
Sicteiii
ines
By MAYNARD ROGERS
One of A&M’s or at least the athletic department’s
most respected institutions, Smokey Harper of the trainer
and philosopher set, has been known to be a tough and hard
individual, and a guy that you have to prove yourself to
before he takes any stock in you at all.
01’ Smoke’s judgment of character has carried many
coaches through a lot of seasons from football to track in
his 36 years in the business. And a lot of people around
the sports circles have a lot of respect for the white-haired,
65-year-old talker who has worked for more schools around
the country than the New York Yankees have won pennants.
Some of those schools were UCLA, Stanford, Kentucky,
Alabama, Vanderbilt, Florida and Clemson. A lot of those
teams went to the Rose Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Sugar Bowl,
Orange Bowl and Gator Bowl while Smokey was at the
helm of the tape and bandage corps. Yes, his knowledge
and ability with athletes has taken Smokey to the peak in
the sports world.
Not only has Harper been known to be a confidant for
the boys he oversees, but as one of his colleagues put it:
“Smokey has been known to talk more boys out of
injuries than any other guy in the business.”
And since Smokey came to Aggieland with Paul (Bear)
Bryant in 1954, his gift of gab has soothed many injuries
and ailments, and has put a big fire in a lot of athletes.
Holding the confidence of coaches is another one of
Smokey’s attributes. A story from Harold Ratliff, Associ
ated Press sports writer, tells about the time a certain coach
got into an argument with the Bear, but the assistant was
too afraid of Bryant to do much about the situation. So,
he went to Smokey.
“Smokey,” the assistant cried, “I’m so mad at Bear,
do you know what I’m going to do? I’m going home, walk
into the bathroom and lock the door. Then you watch me
give that so-and-so hell.’
Well, last Saturday it looked like Smokey was finally
going to choke up for the cake of sentimental reasons.
It was after he was given a plaque by the Southwest
Athletic Trainers Assn, recognizing his retirement this June
after a long, outstanding career among athletes, at a break
fast at the Driskill Hotel in Austin. Smokey was also nomi
nated by the trainers to the Helms All-America Foundation
for his contribution to athletics. But nobody would mind
him choking up for that.

Stark Strafes Ponies;
Aggies Pull One Out
BY JIM BUTLER
Battalion Sports Editor
SMU’s baseball team learned
the Stark facts of life Tuesday
afternoon and decided that they
were better off without them as
the Aggies used a last ditch spurt
to nose the Ponies at the wire, 3-2.
SENIOR FIRSTSACKER Frank
Stark was the jockey that kept
the Mustangs from the winner’s
circle in Travis Park. Stark belt
ed a 400-foot drive over the right
centerfield fence to account for
A&M’s first two runs, then dou
bled and scored the winning tally
in the bottom of the ninth.
Up to that point it had been
strictly a pitcher’s battle between
a pair of sophomore portsiders—
Steve Hillhouse for the Aggies
and Bob Bohren for SMU.
HILLHOUSE PITCHED his sec
ond straight complete game with
out giving up an earned run. He
went the distance in beating Tex
as 5-2 with both runs the result
of errors and it was the same
story Tuesday. Both wins were
seven-hitters.
Hillhouse struck out six and
walked none in pulling his SWC
record to 2-1. Bohren was nearly
as effective, limiting the strong-
hitting Cadets to seven safeties
until the fatal ninth.
THE AGGIES threatened in the
first inning when Bohren walked
Jerry Ballard and Billy Crain. Bal
lard was thrown out trying to
steal just before Bill Hancock
lined a double to right center. But
Bohren left the runners stranded,
retiring Lance Cobb on a deep fly
to left.
The Aggie bats were silenced
until the fourth inning when Cobb
led off with a double to the cen
terfield fence. Robert McAdams
struck out. Then Stark smashed
his home run driving in Cobb and
making the score 2-0.
SMU CAUGHT UP in the fifth
when Charles McCallum reached
first on an error by George Har
gett. After two were out, catcher
J. W. Davis doubled to right cen
ter scoring McCallum. Bohren
followed with a double to left field
bringing’ in Davis.
The pitchers took control until
the eighth frame. Crain singled
and Cobb lined his second two-
bagger to left field putting run
ners on second and third. But
Bohren got out of the jam by
striking out McAdams to end the
inning.

SMU TRIED TO make their
final chance a productive one get
ting runners to second and third
with one out in the top of the
ninth. Danny Thomas was safe on
Hargett’s second misplay, followed
by McCallum’s single and steal of
second.
Hillhouse, showing all the poise
of a Warren Spahn, got pinch-
hitter Larry Jernigan to pop-up
to second base and Davis to
ground out.
STARK THEN LED off the last
of the ninth with a double to the
left centerfield fence. And Har
gett redeemed himself by slash
ing the first pitch down the right-
field line driving in Stark and
giving the Aggies victory.
A&M now stands 3-2 in confer
ence play, one-half game behind
co-leaders Texas and Baylor, each
with 3-1 records. Coach Toe
Chandler’s Cadets are 9-5 on tli
season.
THE LOSS knocked SMU into
last place with a 1-2 record.
Hargett paced the Aggie attad
with three hits in four trips to tie
plate. Stark and Cobb were two.
