Transcript | The Houston baseball squad was as inconsistent and erratic as Houston weather and wound up with a poor twelve won and eleven lost record. Coach Hill's team was expected to give Oklahoma A&M a tough battle for the Missouri Valley Conference title, but finished up in third place. The Cougars boasted a strong hitting team, with five of the starting nine hitting over .300. However, many errors at strategic times proved costly and a lot of ball games were lost that should have been won. Carlton Hanta, shortstop, led the Cougars again this year. In addition to hitting a hefty .354, he connected for seven home runs. Jack Schultea led the pitchers with a seven won two losl record.
