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 base­ball 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. -------------------------------------------->

This radar system was with­drawn about two or three months ago. It was said to have been less susceptible to jam­ming, capable of faster target tracking, and probably was for use against low-flying planes.

It will continue for six weeks under the sponsorship of the Bra­zos County Tuberculosis Associa­tion, according to a statement is­sued today by the Christmas Seal organization’s board of directors.

Mrs. H. H. Williamson, presi­dent of the association, pointed out that the campaign is an effort to alert people to the fact that chronic cough and shortness of breath are often indications of res­piratory disease and should not be taken for granted.

Explaining the TB Association’s interest in Respiratory Diseases other than tuberculosis, Mrs. Wil­liamson said: “There is a relation­ship among all diseases of the breathing system. The sooner all Respiratory Diseases are con­trolled, the sooner will final eradi­cation of TB become possible.”

The motto of the campaign is: “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 sec­ond 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 er­ror produced two Bear runs to tie the score. Then Koonce smash­ed 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 to bring in the other run.
