Picking an all-conference team is
never an easy job, and the local team

en A & M men on the team.
We present our selection:

Pitchers: Shaw, A & M; De ]a
Fuente, Texas; Hawes, A & M; Peo-
ples, Texas.
First Base: Carpenter, A & M.
Second: Davis, A & M.
Third: Pampell, A & M.
Short Stop: Ater, Texas.
Left Field. Bell, A. & M.
Center Field: Veltman, A & M
Right Field: Koy, Texas.
Nightmare Of First InltinW'
Proves Beginning Of A
Happy Dream
Captain Beau Bell, the slugger from
Bellville, and Axel Hawes, the curve
ball artist from Dallas, ended their
baseball careers at Aggieland in a
blaze of glory when the figured
prominently in defeating Uncle Billy
Disch's heretofore invincible Long-
horns 8 to 16, to win the conference
baseball drown Saturday afternoon on
Kyle field.
Bell had his second perfect day at
bat in as many games with a home
run, a single, and two free passes.
His play on the defense was flawless
throughout and in the fourth round,
with the score tied, two men on and
two out, he slammed the ball to cen-
ter for four bases. In all, Bell scored
three runs himself and batted in two
more.
With two down in the first, after
four unearned runs had been scored,
Ab Hawes took charge of the hurling
duties and had the Steers "eating"
out of his hand until the ninth frame,
when he weakened slightly and allow-
ed three hits, which accounted for two
tallies.
After Carpenter had gone out, pitch-
er to first in the second, and Davis
had gone out swinging, Garvey reach-
ed first when Baumgarten dropped his
easy fly to left. Hawes. next up, with
a terrific wallop trippled to left cen-
ter to bring in the first Aggie marker.
Pampell then singled sharply to left
scoring Hawes. Mitchell rolled out,
short to first to retire the side.
