Sideline Slants
By WALTER BALDERACH
- It was quite heartening to see
the roundballers begin on a suc-
cessful note against the Aggies.
Even though we took advantage
of wild pitching and sloppy de-
fense, it was good to get off on
the right foot. As one member of
the squad pointed out: “At least
they can’t take that one away
from ua . .
As was expected, the bats of
the Bulldogs have been very
militant. During the course of the
first two games, the squad has
managed to garner only nine hits
for a rather anemic .138 batting
average.
On the bright side has been the
work of the mounds corps.
Especially noticeable was the
sterling performance of Tommy
Wimp against the Longhorns. As-
suming no small task, Wimp
managed to shut the door on the
Steers as he allowed only six hits
and two earned runs. In light of
our two most recent battles with
UT, this is a tremendous accom-
plishment . . .
There are still some students
around who will remember a 6-9,
250-pound giant from Pan Amer-
ican who performed against TLC
two years ago, Lucious Jackson
also performed on the baseball
diamond. Admittedly he wasn't
much of a ball player, but no one
can doubt his ability on the hard-
wood.
Recently Jackson was named
to the Sporting News All-Ameri-
can team. Thus he becomes one
of the few players ever to be ac-
corded a berth on the major col-
lege team while competing at a
small college. Here is what one
pro scout had to say about this
lad: “Perhaps the best player in
| the country. Can’t play defense as
well as Bill Russell, but he isn’t
far behind, and he is better offen-
sively.” A college player has to
be great if he can be compared
at all to the great center of the
Boston Celtics.
The Big State Conference cham-
pion St. Mary’s continues to be
the Cinderella team in college
basketball. The Rattlers have ad-
vanced to the quarter-final round
of the NAIA national tourney at
Kansas City.
The Rattlers opened with a
victory over the previously un-
beaten squad from Central Con-
necticut. Then they whipped
Grambling College of Louisiana
the third ranked team in the na-
tion by the score of 72-66. Impos-
sible though it may seem — only
! three games separate our confer-
ence champion from the national
championship . . .
The baseball team has come a
long way in the prestige of their
schedule: in 1924 the Bulldogs
won but nine games and seven of
them were against high school
teams . . .
WNs fDogs Whip Aggies
The University of Texas handed
the Bulldogs their initial loss of
the ’64 campaign by the score of
3-1 on Tuesday afternoon in Aus-
tin.
The Longhorns scored in the
first inning on a pair of doubles,
and pushed across the winning
run in the sixth on a double and
an error. The Steers added i
single tally in their half of the
eighth inning.
Tommy Wimp turned in a super-
lative effort on the hill, for the
’Dogs as he scattered six hits off
the big bats of this perennial
national power. Wimp was never
in serious trouble as he allowed
but three walks in addition to the
six hits.
Charley Hartenstein, a native of
Seguin, worked the first eight in-
nings, and was credited with the
victory. Hartenstein scattered five
hits and struck out 12 Bulldogs.
Henry Krause garnered the
lone extra-base hit for TLC as he
tacked on a double in the eighth
inning. Center fielder Joe Gideon
of Houston Bellaire led the Steers
with two hits in three appearances

Tracksters Prep
For Texas Relays
Coach Fred Hightower has ap-
proximately 15 track candidates
working out daily as the defending
Big State Conference Champions
make ready for the 1964 season.
First action for the thin-clads
will be at the Texas Relays in
Austin . . . The conference meet
will be held .May 8 at Seguin’s
Matador Stadium.
Hightower figures the track
team will have better balance this
season after copping the 1963
crown on the strength of a stable
of fine sprinters. Sprinters include
Billy Nelson, Billy Russell, Ken
Voges, and David Berg.
Last season Voges won the 100-
yard dash in 9.7, while Nelson won
the 220-yard dash. Middle distance
men include Arnold Schultz, Bob
| Springer, Dale Pitts, Jerry Bu-
bert, Paul Ramsey, Steve Feller,
and Jim Shackleford.
Pitts and Bubert will also vie
in the distance events while
Sandy Guillaudeu will join Pitts
and Bubert in the hurdles. Com-
peting in the high jump will be
Charles Koch and Bubert.
Nelson, Russell, and Vcges vie
in the broad jump and Feller will
continue in his speciality — the
pole vault. Throwing the shot put
and discus will be Stan Skavnak
and Aaron Theilengerdes. Henry
Krause will throw the javelin.
A&M Gains Revenge
The Texas Aggies squared the
season series with the TLC Bull-
dogs as they defeated the ’Dogs
13-4 at Fairgrounds Park in Se-
guin. The victory was iced by
some lusty hitting late in the game
by the Aggies.
The Bulldogs led by the score
of 4-1 entering the sixth inning
with Stan Hartmann allowing only
two Aggie hits. In the sixth, the
roof caved in as the Aggies scored
five runs.
Poochie Greg relieved Hart-
mann but to no avail as the Aggies
continued their onslaught. A&M
added two runs in the seventh,
and iced the game with five big
runs in the eighth.
Johnny Crain hurled the first
eight innings, allowing eight hits
and was credited with the win.
Hartmann was the losing pitcher.
Ken Voges again proved to be
the main cog for the ’Dogs as
he had a homer, a single, a
stolen base, three runs batted in,
and two runners thrown out try-
ing to take the extra base.
Leftermen Named
Eleven basketball lettermen
were announced by Coach Verl
Westergard which marks the
largest number to win letters in
the history of the sport at TLC.
Earning their third letters were

bert, Seguin; and Marty Hoffman,
Madison, Minnesota.
Winning their second letters
were Dan Schlender, St. Joseph,
Michigan; Doug Boeriing, Poth;

Ken Voges, as he has been
time and again in games as a
Bulldog, provided the impetus at
the plate. For the afternoon,.
Voges had two hits in three of-v
ficial times at bat; walked twice;
and stole three bases. He aiso
drove in a run and scored a run.
James Bohls and Ed Kuempel
had the only other hits for the
