THE LONE STAR LUTHERAN
Friday, April 10, 1964,,.
| Sideline Slants
By WALTER BALDERACII
As was expected, runs would
come few and far between for the
Bulldogs this season. But it hasn’t
been ali the hitters who have been
field at bay this season. In six of
the 13 games to date, TLC hurlers
Lave allowed eight or more runs
to the opposition.
On occasions the hitters have
supplied the hurlers with enough
runs to win. The reverse has also
been true that when the pitching
is outstanding, the hitting is not
up to par. Notable examples were
the games with Texas and St.
Mary’s where these two fine op-
ponents were given but three
earned runs by our pitching.
In these two games, the Bull-
dogs managed to score but two
earned runs themselves. The hit-
ters and pitchers are not co-
operating with each other.
As the season %?5ws to its
close, it will be interesting to see
how Kenny Voges fares witlp the
major league scouts. Word is
srbund now that the Chicago Cubs
are definitely interested in Kenny.
The consensus among coaches and
scouts is that Voges is definitely
a big league prospect with all the
tools of the trade.
If Kenny hits anywhere near his
present clip upon his return to
the lineup, he should have little
trouble in being selected by the
NAIA for the third year in a row.
Coach Keller has been search-
ing for the right combination in
his lineup. In two recent games
against Nebraska and St. Mary’s
Keller arranged his lineup accord-
ing to a method suggested recently
in Sports Magazine.
This theory is that the lineup
will progress from its most pro-
lific hitters down to the less con-
sistent ones. Thus Voges was
leading off, followed by Bohls,
Krause, and so on. This may work
for collegians, but it would be hard
to conceive of Mantle and Maris
leading off, followed by Kubek
and Richardson for the Yankees
. . . Or would it?
Voges had nothing on H. A.
Knebel in 1924 for it is he who
holds the all-time TLC batting
mark of .625. How about it Ken?
Voges Leads Bulldogs
Kenny Voges continues to lead
Bulldog baseballers at this junc-
ture of the season. Voges is belt-
ing the ball at an even .500 clip
v.-ith 16 hits in 32 times at bat.
The Bulldogs, now 5-8 for the
campaign, have gotten excessive
mileage out of their two-time All-
American. Injuries have beset the
Converse flash, but he is expected
to return to the lineup soon.

match of the season.
Monday at San Antonio the

The team score was 1-3, with
Kathy Graeber being the only vic-
tor for TLC, winning 6-0, 6-1.
Today and tomorrow the girls
are participating in a tournament
at Mary Hardin-Baylor College in
Belton. T*
The boy’s team has been mak-
ing a fine showing of late. Follow-
ing the Easter holidays the net-
ters met Gustavus-Adolphus from
Minnesota here at the TLC courts.
Dicky Orsak, Danny Peterson, and
Marty Hoffman won their singles
matches. The two doubles teams
of Peterson and Schlender, and
Orsak and Hoffman were victor-
ious also.
On Tuesday, April 6, the team
played Texas Wesleyan College at
Fort Worth. The boys made a
clean sweep of the matches by
winning 6-0.
Orsak won his singles 6-0 and
6-1; Peterson Avon 6-0 and 6-2;
Schlender 6-0 and 6-3; and Hoff-
man 6-0 and 6-2. Peterson and
Orsak won their doubles matches
6-1 and 6-4; while Schlender and
Hoffman won theirs’ 6-2 and 6-4.
The team has two matches this
weekend. Today they play South-
west Texas in San Marcos. Tomor-
row they play Southwestern /at
home.
Dale Pitts, a senior from Angle-
ton, was selected as the outstand-
ing player on the football squad
at the recent Seguin All-Sports
banquet. Guest speaker for the
event was Hayden Fry of Southern
Methodist University in Dallas.
Pitts was selected on the basis
of his versatility and his team
spirit. During the season he played
in any number of backfield posi-
tions both offensively and defen-
sively.
Kenny Voges was accorded the
outstanding baseball player for
the second year in a row. Voges
selection leaves no room for argu-
ment.
Bulldogs Out-Run
ig Ten, Big Eight
In basketball, the award went
to Dan-Schlender, a 6-2 junior who
was an all-conference pick at for-
ward. Schlender was also the lead-
ing scorer and second leading re-
bounder.
David Kunkel was selected as
the outstanding golfer at TLC.
Kunkel is a senior from Seguin
who has lettered three years on
the links for the Bulldogs.
The TLC Bulldogs for all prac-
tical purposes have defeated the
Midwest this season in baseball.
The past several weeks saw the
’Dogs down four of the six op-
ponents from the central U.S.
The first of these schools to
meet defeat at the hands of TLC
was the Minnesota Gophers. Stan
Hartman went the route for the
victory. The final score was 8-1.
The following day Minnesota
gained revenge by hammering out
a 12-3 decision. The Gophers put
the Big Eight Conference, the
the game on the ice with eight
runs in the seventh and eighth
innings.
The next opponent was from
Nebraska Cornhuskers. Stan Hart-
man went all the way in a 5-2
squirmish won by the Bulldogs.
Kenny Voges paced the attack
with three hits in five trips. A*,
The first shutout of the season—
a combination job of Ed Kuempel
and Larry Olson — turned the
Kansas Jayhawkers by the score
of 4-0. The Bulldogs picked up
only four hits, but were pushed
along by five errors for theSh
Hawkers.
Another Big Ten school, Indi-
ana, also won a one-sided contest
by the score of 11-3. Two long
homeruns off Kuempel in the first
inning proved to be the downfall
for the ’Dogs.
The Bulldogs then turned the
: University of Illinois for a 13-8
j victory. Billy Russel and James
Bohls each had three hits for TLC
in this contest.
The Bulldogs opened their 1964
Fig' State Conference slate by go-
ing down to defeat at the hands of
the St. Mary’s Rattlers. The final
score was 2-1.
Tommy Wimp went all the way
for the ’Dogs and was charged,
with the defeat in spite of allow-
ing only six hits and one earned
run. Benton Moore went all the
way for the Rattlers to pick up
the wdn.
The game was very tight through-
out as there were only ten hits
by both sides combined. The only
extra base blow of the ganm was
a homerun by Marvin Koehn, the
Rattler third baseman, in the sec-
ond inning.,
The Rattlers also pushed an-
other run across in the second
inning on a hit and two Bulldog
errors. The lone tally for the Bull-
dogs came in the eighth when
Voges walked, stole second, stole
third, and came home on a throw-
ing error.
The Bulldogs are now 0-1 in
conference play, and the Rattlers
extended their lead in the Big
State by running their record to
3-0.

At Texas Relays.
Last Friday night the TLC
tracksters participated in the
Texas Relays at Austin. In a
special mile relay for small col-
leges, TLC finished third wTith a
time of 3:36.3. This relay was
composed of Stephen F-eller, Jerry ^
Bubert, Sandy Guillaudeu, and
Billy Nelson.
Nelson clocked the fastest quar-
ter for the ’Dog's as he turned in
a 52r5 second 440. Kenny Voges
placed fifth in the broad jump with
a 23’5” leap. Voges pulled a-<sv
muscle on his first jump in the
finals necessitating his fifth place
finish.
In the preliminaries Nelson fin-
ished fourth in his heat in the
100-yard dash. His time Avas 9.8
seconds, but it was not quite gooc^ v
enough to advance him to the
finals. v
This weekend the tracksters
will participate in the Howard
Payne Relays at Brownwood.
Coach Hightower plans to take
the entire squad to this meet. \
