Ag Baseballers Clinch Tie
With Victories Over Baylor
By JIM BUTLER
Associate Editor
The Aggies clinched at least a tie for their second major
title this year with a double-header sweep of Baylor in base
ball Saturday. Coach Tom Chandler's Cadets will be trying
to add an outright baseball championship to A&M’s basketball
crown when they take on the University of Texas in a two-
game series in Austin Thursday and Friday.
The Aggies need to win only one of the pair for its first
title since 1959, Chandler’s first year at A&M.
The Maroon diamondmen showed they could come
through when the pressure is on with their double victories
over Baylor. A&M had to win both games for a chance at
the crown and that they did, 7-4 and 2-0.

Mrs. H. H. Williamson, presi

“Short of breath ? Cough too
much ? Don’t take chances. See
your doctor.”
The campaign will be financed
by Christmas Seal funds, but it is
not a drive for contributions.
. Allen Koonce slammed a
340-ft. home run in the
seventh inning of the nine-
inning first game to give
A&M the decision. Koonce’s
blast came after singles by Jerry
Ballard and Bill Grochett and gave
the Cadets a 6-3 lead.
A&M started the scoring in the
first inning on Ballard’s single and
Grochett’s double.
The Bears tied it up in the sec
ond when Donnie Laurence tripled
and Bill Bain doubled off A&M
starter Steve Hillhouse.
Hillhouse got his lead back in
the bottom of the second with a
two-run triple to rightfield. The
diminutive lefty protected the lead
until control trouble started a
Baylor rally in the seventh.
Two walks, two hits and an er
ror produced two Bear runs to
tie the score. Then Koonce smash
ed his homer off Baylor starter
Henry Perkins to put the game out
of reAch.
The seven-inning second game
turned out to be a pitcher’s battle
with A&M’s Chuck McGuire the
winner pitching a fine one-hitter.
Baylor hurler John Porter allowed
only four hits but three Bear mis-
cues doomed the Baptist cause.
The Aggies picked up their two
runs in the second inning on walks
to Billy Crain and Frank Stark.
George Hargett doubled to left
field to bring in one run. Mike
McClure, subbing for an injured
Ballard, reached first on an error
