THE BATTALION Page 4 College Station, Texas Wednesday, April 15, 1964 A&M—New Home Of 60-Foot Putter By MAYNARD ROGERS Battalion Ass’t Sports Editor Aggieland now holds a status in the sports world that may be compared in Hollywood to a ring side seat to Liz’s and Richard’s wedding night. A&M is the “Home of the 60-Foot Shot Putters.” Since Danny Roberts’ tremendous effort of 60-7 with the 16-pound iron ball at a quadrangular track meet in Waco Saturday with Bay lor, Texas and Southern Methodist, coupled with the 60-plus tosses of teammate Randy Matson, the Ag gies have more shot putters past the elite mark than any other uni versity in the nation. Roberts said he felt pretty good after the big throw that put him in front of all the nation’s collegi ate varsity weight men. “I knew I could do it,” he said. “All I needed was to get under the shot for some heighth. I hope I can stap past the 60 mark.” The big senior from Cleveland looked like a different man when he stepped into the ring Saturday. It wasn’t the same Danny Roberts who had lost two big meets in a DANNY ROBERTS Joins the club. row to his arch rivals, Jim Lan caster and Frank Mazza of Baylor. Lancaster took the Texas Re lays with a put of 59-5 while Dan ny finished third with 58-3%. Maz za beat the Aggie at the San An gelo Relays without even breaking 59 feet. Now Roberts has his eye on the Kansas Relays coming up this weekend in Lawrence, Kan. Although the Baylor boys won’t be there, George Woods of South ern Illinois will. Woods threw his way past Danny for a second place at the Texas Relays. With the gathering of these two men at one more meet, Roberts looks forward to the competition with blood in his eye and strength in the arm. He stated that he had laid off his life’s blood — weight training — during the time he was in the slump. But Danny started back on his program the Monday before the Waco meet.

Keeping Houston Classic Title May Be Hard For Lefthander HOUSTON (A>) — History in dicates lefty Bob Charles of New Zealand will have difficulty as the defending champion in the opening Thursday of the $50,000 Houston Golf Classic. No champion has ever repeated in the 16-year history of the Classic and seven of the former defenders, including Arnold Palmer, have failed to make the 36 or 54-hole course. Gary Middlecoff, the 1953 win ner in a five-way playoff, was the runner-up to Dave Douglas in 1954 but no other defender has managed to finish higher than an eighth place tie. Charles collected $10,000 one year ago and was the first left hander ever to win a PGA sponsored tournament. His 67- 66-66-69-268 set Classic records for 72 and 54 holes. Charles, the British Open champ ion, will be testing a new course this year. His record 268 was carded at the 7,021-yard par 35- 35-70 Memorial Municipal Course. The Classic, after 11 years at Mem orial, has moved to the 7,223-yard par 35-36-71 Sharpstown Country Club course. The New Zealand bank clerk probably will share the role as pre-tournament favorite with Jack Nicklaus and Dave Marr, who tied as runner-up to Palmer in Sunday’s Masters finish. NOW!

JOE FAULK AUTO 220 E 25th TA 2-1669 Aggies Win Sixth Straight; Beat St. Mary’s Rattlers, 9’ By JIM BULTER SAN ANTONIO — Tuesday was a perfect day for baseball, spec ially if you were viewing the game through Maroon-colored glasses. The Aggies appropriately slashed 12 hits to notch their 12th season win, avenging an early season loss to St. Mary’s by easing to a 9-1 victory. FINE PITCHING was the rule for the sixth game in a row which coincidently is the length of the current A&M win string. Billy Crain and Richard Beller limited the Rattlers to six hits and only a pair of Aggie miscues in the first inning kept St. Mary’s from being shutout. Jerry Pizzitola, George Hargett and Bill Hancock wielded the big sticks, getting a pair of hits each and driving in five Cadets markers. AN ERROR BY Frank Stark on Jim Langley’s hot liner plus singles by Preston Kuykendahl and Lyle Siemer pushed across the lone Rat tler run in the first inning. From then on St. Mary’s bats were silenced and had to wait until the ninth inning before they were allowed more than one baserun- ner. THE AGGIES WENT through the first 12 hitters before getting a safety off Rattler lefty Dickie Franz. Lance Cobb and Crain led off the fourth with singles. Then three straight sacrifices by Stark, Hargett and Pizzitola brought in the first two Aggie runs. The Maroon batted around in the sixth inning for five tallies to break the game open. Stark walk ed, Hargett singled and Pizzitola doubled to right field to bring in the first run. Jerry Ballard’s run scoring fly followed by a walk to i for four more scores.
