V | !■ Aggies At Fort Worth By GARY SHERER The Texas Aggies baseball team takes the field at Fort Worth today for a 2:30 p.m. game with Texas Christian. The two teams will play again Saturday afternoon. TCU and the Aggies have iden tical 4-3 conference records and are tied for the third spot in the Southwest Conference race. The Aggies have won their last four conference tests after losing the first three. One of those three was a 6-0 loss to the Horned Frogs at Travis Park. In that game, the Aggies stranded 17 men as they could not come up with a decisive rally against the TCU pitcher, Mickey McCarty. McCarty, the All-SWC basket ball player, has been stingy with everybody in the SWC in giving earned runs as he sports a 0.21 ERA in 43 innings of league play and has a 3-2 conference record. He is 4-0 outside the conference. POOR DEFENSE has been the reason for McCarty’s losses in the conference. The Aggies will undoubtedly face McCarty in one of the weekend games. McCarty isn’t the only effec tive Frog pitcher. The team pitching staff will carry a 40- inning string without yielding an earned run into the two-game series with the Aggies. Over on the hitting side of the ledger, TCU’s third - baseman Richard Hooper is the number three full-season hitter with a .367 average. Shortstop Parke Davidson is runner-up to Hooper with a .324 mark. Davidson is the Frog’s leading conference hitter along with out fielder Abby Stratton. They both have .308 hitting norms. THE AGGIES’ Joe Staples is now the fourth-leading hitter in the SWC with a .360 mark. Sec ond baseman Richard Backest is one of the top ten conference hitters wtih a .296 average. Staples is the number nine hitter in the SWC wtih a .333 mark as far as full season is con cerned wtih Mike Arrington close behind at .321. The Aggies are currently 13-6 for the season, as compared with the Frogs’ 14-7. Both teams will be going into today’s game off wins earlier this week. TCU topped Rice on Tuesday 6-1 with McCarty getting the victory. The run off the Pasadena lefthander was unearned and he extended his unearned run streak to 33 innings. The Aggies nipped Houston Wednesday night in a 2-1 tenth inning victory. With McCarty pitching last Tuesday, the Aggies will probably face Bing Bingham today. Mc Carty will undoubtedly go in Saturday’s game. ROCKY Thompson is pitching for the Aggies in today’s contest with Ricky Schwartz a possibility for Saturday. Thompson is now 4-1 on the season and is 3-1 in conference play. The conference standings are now shaping up into a four team race. However, with the unpre dictable SWC, anything can hap pen. Texas is in first place with a 5-2 record wtih Southern Meth odist in second wtih a 6-3 mark. As mentioned, the Aggies and TCU are tied for third at 4-3. Baylor and Rice are 2-5 and 2-7, respectively, and are apparently out of the race. Following this weekend’s games the Aggies will play at home all next week. They will meet Texas Lutheran Wednesday night at Travis Park and then play SMU on Friday and Saturday also at the Bryan field. The Aggies lost to Texas Lutheran at Seguin in March 7-1 and they will be seek ing revenge for that loss. The Aggies defeated SMU 10-6 at Dallas also in March and the win started the Aggies’ current four-game SWC winning streak. Brown, Williams Top Winners In Billiards Matches Ken Williams, Mike Brown and the team of Brown and De Frank Howell were first place winners recently in the Memorial Student Center’s Spring Semester Bil liards Tournament. Williams, winner of the one- pocket event, was the big surprise of the tournament, according to Karl Caillouet, chairman of the Billiards Committee. “Williams came from behind to defeat both Brown and Howell, two of the best billiards player.: around,” Caillouet sa. Howell finished seconu in the one - pocket competition, with Brown third. Brown was the champion in the eight-ball event with Howell sec ond and Gary Cash third. The team of Brown and Howell won the team eight-ball compe tition wtih Ronald Rankin and Johnny Okiyama second and the team of Geoffrey Minnick and Caillouet third. 42 Schoolboy Gridders Signed Spring Training To Begin More than 90 candidates, in cluding 21 lettermen, are expected to be on hand Saturday when the Texas Aggies open spring foot ball training. THE LETTERMEN are evenly split between offense and defense with 10 on each unit. The lone specialist letterman back is punt er Steve O’Neal. The offensive lettermen: Ends Tommy Maxwell and Tom Buck- man; tackles Maurice (Mo) Moorman and Mark Weaver; quarterbacks Edd Hargett and Charlie Riggs; halfbacks Wendell Housley, Bill Sallee and Bob Long and fullback Dan Schneider. The defensive lettermen: ends Grady Allen and Joe Wood; tackles Rolf Krueger and Harvey Aschenbeck; linebackers Jerry Campbell, Bill Hobbs, Robert Cortez and Ivan Jones; halfback George Walker and safety Curley Hallman. THE AGGIES are slated to work on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, with squad scrimmages usually on Saturdays. The final spring game will be played the afternoon of May 20. One of the key problems going into spring practice is developing some offensive linemen. Moor man, Buckman and Maxwel are the only returning starters from the offensive line. Several position switches are contemplated but will have to await experiments during spring drills. WITH THE beginning of spring football practice just one day hence, Coach Gene Stallings will have his thoughts on this present squad of candidates. ARROW SHU at 3tm j&tarnw ^ ^ menfc wear • Bm AS.

Carol is being married in less than a month, yet it seems only yesterday John and I brought her home from the hospital. Hansel and Gretel were last, and I smiled as I packed them. For they remind me of Carol and her young man. They seem such dreamy young innocents, but are really quite practical.

It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the Church. They are: (X) For his own sake. (2) For his chil dren’s sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and to g _ . and read your Bible daily. material support.
