Ag Baseball Team Starts Wednesday THE BATTALION Page 4 College Station, Texas Tuesday, February 28, 196" Read Battalion Classifieds By GARY SHERBR “It’s not a rebuilding year, but we do have problems,” said Ag gie Baseball Coach Tom Chandler in assessing the diamond for tunes of this year’s Aggie nine. CHANDLER, STARTING Mb ninth year as head baseball man at A&M, welcomes back several lettermen from last year, along with a lot of newcomers. "Our main problem is pitching,” Chandler noted, as the Aggie men tor will kave only one experienced starting hurler. The pitcher with experience is Tommy Chiles. Chiles, a senior from Shreveport, La., was All-SWC as a sophomore but fell off last year because of injuries. PITCHER BOB SANDERS, jun ior from Houston, returns to head the bullpen corps. Sophomores Bab Arnold from El Paso, Walter Varvel from Col lege Station and JC transfer Rocky Thompson are expected to do well on the mound. “We have some strong points,” Chandler pointed out as he re- Yearlings Top Ag Fish 60-58 A halftime lead of 10 points proved too small for the Fish cagers as the Texas University Yearlings made up the difference plus two and edged the Aggies, 60-58, Saturday afternoon in Austin. The loss gave the Baylor Cubs the undisputed Southwest Con ference title. The Cubs cinched a tie Friday when they defeated the Southern Methodist fresh men. A win for the Fish was necessary for them to have a chance to tie. High point for the Aggies and the game was Ralph Hill, who started his first game for the Fish in place of injured Mike Hazel. Hill also was the high rebounder for the Fish with 15. Mike Doyal was the top scorer for the Shorthorns, with 19 points. The Fish close out the season Thursday when they play the Texas Christian Wogs at Fort Worth. •9M S®. Col Ug« Art - ftryAR.Tijtaf For all your insurance needs See U. M. Alexander, Jr. ’40 221 S.

Joe Staples from Houston is back to handle the catching chores. Stap les also was All-SWC last year. MIKE ARRINGTON, senior from Freeport, returns for his final year at shortstop for the Maroon and White. “We’re going to depend a lot on speed and hustle,” Chandler said.

Matson, Strong, Fish Netters Top Bright Spots For Aggies By CHARLES ROWTON Despite double wins by Randy Matson and Deward Strong of Texas A&M, Baylor University managed an 80-56 win in a dual track meet with the Aggies Fri day. Matson won the shot put with a heave of 68-8?4 feet, more than 13 feet farther than Aggie junior George Resley could manage. Resley’s throw of 55-5 was good enough for second place, how ever. THE AGGIE strongmen also finished 1-2 in the discus. Mat son’s best toss was 173-1014 while Resley flipped the sphere 142-6'/2. Strong won both hurdles events in two too-close-for-comfort races. His time of 15.2 in the 120-yard hurdles was only .06 of a second faster than Baylor’s Steve Lane, and a time of 55.2 in the 440- yard hurdles gave him a .2 second victory from Joe Ratliff. Top point-getter for either team was Wayne Brandt of Baylor. He was on the winning 440-yard relay team, won the 100- yard dash, was second in the 220- yard dash, and placed third in the javelin with a throw of 174-0. Two other Aggies took victories in their events. Steve O’Neal won the broad jump with a leap of 22-3, and Donnie Ayres won the javelin with a throw of 181- 6i/ 2 . THE TENNIS TEAM suffered a similar fate at the hands of the University of Houston netters as they lost 6-0. Ed Livesey beat Pete Faust, 6-4 nd 6-4, Larry Brownstein topped Joe Tillerson, 6-1 and 6-2, Scott McWilliams stopped Marcus Beleck, 6-8, 9-7, and 10-8, and Don Sampson beat Terry Smith, 6-3 and 6-2. In doubles competition Livesey and Byron Tankersley teamed to stop Faust and Beleck, 6-4 and 6-4, and McWilliams and Samp son won their match with Tiller- son and Smith, 6-3 and 8-6. The freshmen had a more suc cessful weekend as they scored 6-0 wins against the Houston freshmen and the San Jacinto Junior College squad. Jon Rag land, Dwight Howard, Bruce Crumley, and Nathan Finke com posed the winning Fish team that lost only 1 of 25 sets in the two matches. LET US ARRANGE YOUR TRAVEL... ANYWHERE IN THE U. S. A.
