SPORTS ROUNDUP
By "DUB" BRADEN Senior Sports Editor
In an effort to round Ills play-
ers into shape for the Border con-
ference baseball tourney at Tuc-
son May 9-10 Coach Murray
Evans for the past several days
has brought about a right inter-
esting situation by scheduling
cross-town jousts with Coach Guy
Scruggs' ACC nine.
The two teams have met three
times on the Wildcat diamond
and each contest has been the
kind of baseball that really Hits
the spot with the lovers of the
game. Last week the Ranchers
opened against the Christians
with a 3-0 victory featuring
Blazin' Bob McChesney on the
mound chunking a one-hitter.
Cool-operating Bob a port-
side hurler faced 25 batters the
first afternoon and whiffed 17
a masterpiece scarcely seen in
these here parts or anywhero
else. Boyl I like to watch that guy
throw 'em. Catcher-outfielder J.
B. "Gipper" Gibbs went 'hawg'-
wild at the plate. His first trip up
he slammed a triple deep in left
field. The very next lime at bat
the Gipper hit for the circuit
almost slapping the ol' horsehido
out of sight.
Monday the Cowboys dropped
a red-hot brawl to the Christians
5-4 in an over-time fracas. Fresh-
man Sam Morris a native of San
Antonio toed the slab for the

able four-hit game.
Now back to that guy McChes-
ney. If you think his perform-
ance in that first game was a
ravin' success just listen to this:
Tuesday the Californian again
look the mound assignment and
pitched a no-hit. shut-out and
walked only one batter. He faced
24 batters and sat down 17 of 'em.
Coach Evans' boys sacked up this
one 4-0.
Shifted to thirG base from the
keystone corner Eddie Carmel
was the offensive star of Tues-
day's game. At the plate the pep-
py little upstart collected three for
three. In the first game team-
mates rejoiced at Eddie's double
lifting him from an irritating
slump that has plagued the boy
for quite a spell. Carmel missed
the second -game.

Last fall he was the pride and
glory of the old high school. He
enjoyed untold glory because he
was a senior as well as the star
line-backer on tho football team.
No fault could be found in him.
He was big the most handsome
man on the campus weighed 185
pounds: he was brilliant in his
classes making a straight-A card.
When he turned his back to tho
oponcnl and called the defense
play he was usually right. He
was the big man on the high
school campus. Ho was a big man
around "John's" drug store in
the evenings but just last week I
saw him again.
He was getting himself up
slowly from the ground after
having been blocked by "Straw-
berry" Rowan and he looked
small by tho side of some of the
H-SU varsity men on the field.
His 185 pounds were nothing to
brag about here. Here was no
glory. He wondered why the
coach told him he was standing
around with his finger up his
nose when he knew he was doing
all that could be done.
When he walked into the book-
store for a coke no one knew
him. No one even gave him a
second glance. He was just an-
other freshman with his face
skinned and a slight limp wear-

Big Bob McChesney versatile southpaw from Van Nuyt Cali-
fornia had his dream come true Tuesday afternoon whan he pitched
the Cowboy Diamondeers to a 4 to 0 win over the ACC Wildcats to
round out a three-gome scries between the two schools. Seventeen
of the 24 batters who faced Bob went down swinging on mail
walked and two mon got on through errors. The victory gar the
Cowboys two wins and one loss for the series. It was Big Bob's first
no-hit gome.
Little Eddie Carmel Yankee
lad from Guion Ohio paced the
Cowboys in the batting. He got
two singles and a double from
three times at bat to score three
of the runs garnered by the Pokes.
The first tally came in the sec-
ond frame when Moo Hedrick
came in on a screeching single
laid down into left field by Little
Ed. The other three scores were
made in the bottom half of the
sixth. J. B. Gibbs sent a scream-
ing single between second and
third bases to get on. McChesney
then hit to Huffstedler on second
who hobbled the ball both run-
rors were safe. Bill Bailey then
hit to center to score Gibbs; Mc-
Chesney held up on third. Eddie
then rapped a double to right
field and both runners came in.

days of stiff workouts preceding.
Elimination was not complete for
cither the varsity or freshman

Woodson H-SU has a very good

student body.
ing a faded T-shirt and blue jeans
with shoes that looked sad for
the need of a shine.
He looked around him as lie
drank his coke. I wondered where
I had seen that look before then
I remembered. It was not so
many years ago. They used to
come in jauntily for induction but
just a few hours later they began
to get that look. They began to
feel that there was not anything
left but work work work.
He looked around him as if
weighing the long four years
ahead against the gain and glory
in the end. Four years looked
like a long time.
He has been asked to come
back May 10 for final tryouts for
the freshman football team and
twelve more grueling days of
training. He may be back and
he may not.
HOWARD McCHESNEY
Until..!. 4lA .. M..4M. . a
the campus firm of McChesney
and McChesney Inc. representing
Van Nuys California may prove
to be a vital cog in the machinery
when the Purple and Gold eleven
takes the field this fall.
Early to realize the difficult
job ahead in filling the shoes of
Cleveland at the center spot
Howard is determined to exert'
every effort despite the handicap
of a recent hand injury.
The 25-year-old junior is a
P. E. major and plans to take up
coaching duties in his home state
at the close of his stay at Hardin-
Simmons. He has a well-rounded
sports background but football
has played a bigger part in his
career than other games. He has
gained experience in both high
school and sandlot football as well
as his activity at Hardin-Sim-mons.
He lists no particular campus
activities that are of interest to
him but we have it from reliable
sources that what interests a cer-
tain blonde co-ed also is of in-
terest to him.
McChesney came to Hardin-
Simmohs at the close of his army
duty along with several other
boys from his home town. All we
can say is: California's loss was
our gain.
