their top spot in the Southwest
Conference race and possibly a
spot in the nation’s top ten. The
Aggies are currently ranked as
the No. 2 team in the nation.
TCU’s weekend series proved
one thing. You cannot win a
ball game with press clippings.
The Aggies lacked everything
good they have showed all sea
son long. They did not get the
clutch hitting. The pitching - was
erratic. The fielding was worse.
As it turned out, TCU won the
first game, 10-6, and the second,
5- 3. A&M is now in third place
in the conference with a 6-4-1
record compared to Texas’ 7-4
and TCU’s 7-3-1. A&M has four
games remaining — two with
Baylor and two with Texas. They
must win all of them to remain
in contention for the title.
But it wasn’t a bad weekend for
all. The Aggie netters can
vouch for that.
Coach Omar Smith’s netters
brushed a good Baylor team,
6- 0, to take a giant step toward
the first SWC net title in the
school’s history.
A&M will go to Rice Tuesday
and will need only a 3-3 split
with the Owls to take the title.
The Aggies are now 29-1 for
the season.
The victory was the 11th in
a row for the Aggies and their
fifth consecutive shutout. Their
overall record now stands at
16-5.
With the exception of the No.
3 singles, the Aggies won every
match in straight sets and only
one set went overtime.
In the football scrimmage held
Saturday, coach Gen Stallings
said there was a big improve
ment in the defensive play over
Wednesday’s scrimmage and add
ed that the offense improved
some.
The Maroons beat the White,
24-0, as Lloyd Curington scored
two touchdowns and Ken Caffey
and Ronnie Lindsey added an
other apiece. The scrimmage
was the second. of the spring
drills and seventh workout for
the Aggies.
Harry Ledbetter directed the
first touchdown drive while
sophomores Ed Hargett and
Charlie Riggs guided the others.
Hargett quarterbacked the mid
dle two.
“We’re a long way from being
a good football team because
we don’t have enough players
who know what it takes to be
good players. We’re working to
ward that, though,” Stallings
said.
The Aggies will hold their
eighth workout of the spring at
5 p.m. Tuesday in the practice
field behind Kyle Field.
The track meet which A&M
entered at Lubbock was rained
out.
Waxahachie’s Harvey Huff
stetler, 6-7 all-state center, was
signed Saturday by Texas Ag
gie coach Shelby Metcalf to a
pre-enrollment application to at
tend A&M on a basketball schol
arship.
Huffstetler hit on 81 per cent
of his free throws and 68 per
cent of his field goals attempts
last year when he led his team to
a 26-5 record. As a junior Huff
stetler led the team to the finals
of the state tournament.
“We are thrilled to get Har
vey,” Metcalf said. “He was our
number one choice in the state.
He’s a big boy who can jump and
shoot and who can play either in
side or out.”
The three-time all-district per
former, twice unanimous choice,
averaged 29 points per game last
season. Because of his outstand
ing play, he has been picked to
play in the all-star basketball
game this summer at the state
coaching school.
Huffstetler is slender at 180
pounds for his 6-7 frame, but
Metcalf believes “he will put on
some weight, and he’s
through growing yet. He rri
add another couple of inches,'
Huffstetler is currently 1
