Carmichael said that nothing
would be done to old Kyle Field
Stadium. It is to be used exclusively
for Fish footb&ll gambs and Fish
track meets.
He also added that jail persons
that had subscribed money for ad
ditional seats that weije originally
going to be added to old Kyle field
would just have to forfeit it be
cause the postage bill of the Ath
letic Departmetn had risen a little
over expectations last year and
there was hone of the money left.
The hew stadium, according to
Carmichael, will be named Up
and “Downs, Jr.” Stadium in
,honor of a very famous Aggie of
a long, long time ago. It is
slated to seat 120,000 and is to
be double-decked hll the way a-
round. Included in the plans are
provisions that will include a
portable roof ko that the stadium
can! be used in the winter for a
Field House for basketball games
and for indoor track meets.
A removable basketball floor
will be built at the same time and
will be used for the first tjme next
season.., Also proposed' is an ice
hockey rink, that proposal coming
from some vague source Carmich
ael i cferned , to as “Pinky." How

The estimated cost of the neW
football stadium, according to Cari
michael is around $100,000, but he
said it might possibly run a littlb
over that.
Carmichael closed by saying
that he was sure we would be
able to schedule big-name teams;

Aggie Bowler Hits
Perfect “300” Came
A member df the A&M Bowling
team, Emmett Trant, performed
every bowler’s dream yesterday
when he scored a perfect 300. Wit
nesses were Wally Dixon and Bub-
ba Williamson.

'Trant had a few scares at first
when he f got a few had taps, bjut;
he straightened out at the end. He;
said that he had always tried to
reach this perfect score, but al
ways would falter after-a few
strikes, “I am especially proud,”
said Trant, “that it took me only
two games to make my 300.”
