Ag Tracksters Battle Texas, UH Saturday
A&M\s power-laden track team, pre-season choice for the Southwest Conference crown, opens the 1956 carnpaigri against the Universities of Texas and Houston on Kyle Field Saturday.
Runners-up in the SWC behind Texas in 1955, the Aggies rely heavily on their field events for victory over the sprinter-laden Longhorn and Cougar squads.
Winton Thomas leads three Aggie pole vaulters who have been over 13 feet and will be favored to

win his specialty. Thomas has vaulted 13-8 already this year and Jim Jackson and Jim Clark are right behind him. The conference record is 13-11%.
A&M boasts one of the most powerful group of shot putters in the nation, with Bobby Jack Gross, Tom Bonorden and Herman Johnson all battering the 55-foot mark and Harry Cox just short of 50 feet. Gross won the SWC shot put in 1954 and Bonorden took first last year.

Aggie Nine Begins ’56 Season FridayWith the infield and outfield ap
parently set and a converted outfielder behind the plate, A&M’s de- fending Southwest Conference baseball champions meet the strong Sam Houston State College Bear- kats in the 1956 opener tomorrow in Huntsville.
Game time is 2:30 p.m.Coach Beau Bell’s nine put on
their hitting togs for the first time Wednesday, pasting second-line pitchers Ty Hungerford and Ira Oertling for 15 hits and nine runs in six innings.
“THEY GOT MORE hits in six innings today than they’ve collected in two weeks,” said Coach Bell, obviously pleased with the workout. “It’s the best they’ve looked all year. They ran harder, hustled more and really hit the ball.”
With little Charlie Puls, last season’s regular second baseman, dropping the diamond game because of poor health, Bell has had to rearrange his starting infield. Regular shortstop Dick Bleckner has moved to second with Captain Joe Boring filling shortstop, Florida Junior College transfer Joe Worden going to third and John Ho^le back at first.
BRYAN’S JOHN Stockton, all- SWC and the only two-year letter- man on the squad, returns to cen- terfield. Flanking him are 1954 letterman Behn Hubbard in right and Phil Newport, another Florida

transfer, in the left-field meadow. Newport, a port-sider all the way, drove out a homerun and two doubles in Wednesday’s intrasquad game.
With Jimmy Williams, all-SWC two years, missing at catcher, Bell has moved sophomore James Smotherman, who lettered in the outfield as a Fish, behind the plate.
DICK MUNDAY will open the season for the Aggies on the mound, and will pitch six innings against the Bearkats. Munday and Wendell Baker, slated to start against Houston Saturday, along with Lynn Monical and Doug Mullins are the lettermen hurlers. Mullins will finish the last three innings Friday.
Swift Toby Newton, left-handed sophomore strikeout artist from Galveston, is expected to carry a good deal of the pitching load this year. Newton fanned 60 batters in 41% innings as a freshman, and retired six men in order Wednesday.
Sqd. 7 Clinches Bowling Title
Squadron 7 rolled a resounding 1,499 to clinch the freshman bowling championship yesterday. Tommy Blanton was the game’s outstanding bowler with a 513. Runner-up was Sqd. 21, with 1,456, and B-FA was third with 1,400. Sqd. 19 took fourth place and B-Inf fifth. Other members of the champion’s lineup included Felton Phillips and William Burks.
Sqd. 16 and Sqd. 10, freshman basketball titans, will clash Friday for championship honors. Sqd. 10 upset Sqd. 7, 19-14, yesterday with a tight defense and an extremely deceptive offense. Squadron 7’s Buddy Schmidt, who amassed 14 points in Tuesday’s encounter with A-FA, was held to two baskets.
Sqd. 16 squeezed past Sqd. 6, 15-14 with a last minute flurry. The Sqd. 10 quintet has much in its favor for Friday’s showdown. Its defense is hard to crack, its offense is versatile, and center John Crews has scored eight points in each of two consecutive games. However, the Sqd. 16 cagers play magnificent ball when the chips are down and present a definite threat in Paul Martin and Harry Gould.

Ag Linemen PraisedBy RONNIE GREATHOUSE
Battalion Sports Editor
Spring football pi’actice at A&M passed the half-way point yesterday as Coach Paul Bryant and his busy crew of assistants groom their 63 charges for Sat u-r day night’s i n t r a- squad game on Kyle Field.
“The whole bunch of our linemen have shown a lot ofimprovement ^so far,” said StanleyCoach Bryant, “but I’m not satisfied with our backs.”
Saturday night’s Maroon-White tussle, an annual affair that climaxes Sports Day activities, will be played under full game conditions. Game time is 7:30 p.m.
Coach Bryant had words of praise for several players on the squad who have been outstanding in the first half of grid workouts. Among them are guard Jim Stanley, quarterback Roddy Osborne, tackles Bobby Lockett and A. L. Simmons and end Bobby Marks, all returning varsity players.
Sophomores-to-be who were mentioned as having shown the most improvement so far are guard Don Browning, tackle Ray Doucet and end John Tracey.
“Right now, I’d say Stanley is the most impressive player on the team, Bryant said, “His performance so far is head-and- shoulders. above last season.” The Aggies are divided into five
teams at present, with returning lettermen still dominating the No. 1 unit. Running on the first team yesterday were ends Gene Stallings, Marks, Bobby Keith, tackles Lockett and Simmons, guards Stanley and Dennis Goehiing, in the line.
Quarterbacks Don Watson and Jimmy Wright split the man- under chores, while John Crow, Jack Pardee and Loyd Taylor rounded out the backfield. The first two teams went in early yesterday after working on pass patterns and defenses.
