THE LONE STAR LUTHERAN
Friday, February 8,
By RON BACA
After what could be -described
as a “trying winter” signs of
spring are beginning to pop up
all around us. The afternoons are
warm and sunny and TLC is tak-
ing advantage of the situation,
obviously fearful that the ground
hog did see his shadow and that
another cold, wet norther is going
to inhabit our fair campus in the
near future.
TLCers are migrating to Dam
No. 5, Starcke Park, the golf
course, and other exotic places,
but for over 25 those sunnny aft-
ernoons are being spent with
Coach Buzzy Keller in prepara-
tion for the 1963 baseball season.
The first game is only a month
away and in that time Coach Kel-
ler must weed out the good pros-
pects from the bad. This could
be quite a job, not because of the
lack of good prospects but rather
from the abundance.
The Bulldogs have 12 lettermen
returning from a ’62 team that
posted an 814 Conference record
and finished second in the Big
State Conference. Among these
12 lettermen there are six play-
ers who made the 1962 all-confer-
ence, the most outstanding mem-
ber of this select group being
Kenny Voges, who was selected
to the NAIA All-American team as
a second baseman.
Voges was the Bulldogs’ leading
hitter last year with a hefty .446
average. That’s a pretty good
average in anyone’s league. Ken-
ny also led the team in home
runs with 6 and runs batted in
with 25.
The only other Bulldog to hit
over the .300 mark was All-Con-
ference outfielder Eddie Hall who
whacked the ball at a .319 clip.
Hall, who played summer ball
with the Brenham Colts and hit !
well over .300, had three home \
runs and 24 RBI’s last year.
Other All-Conference players !
returning are outfielders Frank
Arnold, .221; infielder Juno
Druebert, 297; outfielder Wayne
'‘Scooter” Jordan, .280; and
pitcher Edmund Kuempel who
posted a 6-4 record and a 2.30
earned run average in 1962.
A close look shows that the
Bulldogs will have an all-confer-
ence outfield in Jordan, Hall and
Arnold. In the infield, two new
comers could break into the
starting lineup. Bidding for sec-
ond base honors will be Ronnie
Ahlhorn, an all-city selection for
John Reagan High School of
Houston. Trying to take over
the shortstop position will be the
little guy who is currently lead-
ing the Bulldogs’ basketball team
in scoring, Newton Grimes. It
seems as if basketball is not the
only sport the remarkable Grimes
is proficient in, for he was an
all-state selection for South San
Antonio.
If Grimes and Ahlhorn live up
to their advance billing this could
present welcome problems for
1 Coach Keller for he then would
have to find a place for Iasi
year’s double play combination,
All-American Voges and all-con-
ference Druebert. Third base still
has to be filled (seems like we’ve
run out of all-conference players;
and possibly Voges or Druebert
could move there. We won’t pon-
der the thought any longer, only
time will tell.
Up to now everything looks
good, but there are some draw-
backs. Pitching again will be the
big question mark as it has been
in the past. Only two letter re-
turn to the mound, Kuemple who
should have another good year,
and Marty Hoffman who had a
1-0 record last year with a 3.50
ERA.
Two pitchers won’t be able, to
do the whole job so Keller’s major
concern will be to find adequate
strength for the mound corp.
Einstein once said, “A boy can I
sit with his girl on a soft sofa for j
an hour and it seems like a min- !
ute whereas if he sits on a hot |
stove for a minute it seems like i
an hour. That’s relativity.”
Length being a relative thing, !
let’s hope it’s a short season for :
the Bulldogs in ’63.

Judo Prospects Bright
Once again this semester tour-
nament prospects look bright for
the Texas Lutheran College Judo
Club. It appears quite possible
that the club will be given the
opportunity to repeat last semes-
ter’s successful performance for
tournaments are expected to be
plentiful.
At the present time there will
be at least three major tourna-
ments in the spring in which the
club will participate. The dates
for two of these have as yet not
been definitely set. They are the
South Texas AAU Champion-
ships which will be held in San
Antonio, and the Austin Judo Cluo
invitational tournament.
In addition to these matches
there will be an all college con-
test held at TLC either shortly be- j
fore or immediately following the
Easter vacations. Possible en-
trants in the tournament are St.
Mary’s, San Antonio College, Sam
Houston State, Capital University
of Columbus, Ohio, and Texas Lu-
theran College.
Some of the upper classmen at
TLC may recall the match with
Capital U. held here two years
a'go. In this tournament the
Bulldogs only lost one match. Due
to this it will be a sure bet that
the Capital team will be in top
condition for this meeting. The
Bulldogs, however, will be out to
make it two in a row over the
matmen of Cap.
Overall it appears that it will
be a crowd pleasing tournament.
New members in the judo club
this semester are Don Anderson,
John Riddick, and Dave Krueger.
Any one else interested in joining
the club is welcome. Those desir-
ing information should contact
either Harry Jones or Ronnie
Murray.
