"7 J 9 Texas, iRic M'pus Relays 9y RAY HOLBROOK Defending: champion A&M em barks Friday for the Corpus Chris- ti Quarterback Relays where the Cadets will again-vie with Texas , and Rice for tratk and field hon ors. This meet, which is sponsored by the Corpus Quarterback Club, is the equivalent of what was for- m'erly the Little Conference Meet since it involves the three teams that usually finish first, second, , and third in the SWC meet. Th(? Aggies won last year by quite va margin since two of Texas.’ fop sprinters were out with pulled < . muscles. On the basis of meets to * date, the Cadets are favored to take this or^e again by a close margin over TU. Giant George Kadera is favored in the' shot and discuss for A&M and Ray Marek of Texas and Tobin Rote of Rice are expected to fight it out in the javelin. ' x ' Ag Vaulters Favored ,» The Aggie pole vault twosome. Jack Simpson and Don Graves, should top Texas’ Bob Walters, but Walters and Vern McGrew of Rjce are expected to battle in the high jump with Buddy Davis and Graves close behind. Meeks and Johnson of TU and Grawunder i of Rice are top contenders in the broad jump with A&M entries in! this event being J. TV'Weber artd Glenn Lippman. j Charley Parker and Perry Sam- yels of L Texas are sprint favor ites jvith Red Brown of Rice closet behind. Texas should; take tho 440 relay with Rice again sec ond. Probably the best race of the evening will be the 440 dash. Tom Cox, of Rico and Don Mitchell of A&M will tangle in this one a,hd the record of 47.8 may fall. "V A ’Timely” Question Some claim th(*i _Cox ran 40.5 anchoring Rice's winning mile re lay at Ti\xuh Relays last week and Mitchell was clocked. In 47.0 or slightly under. It is interesting to note that although Mitchell’s lime was clocked slower than Cox's ho gained two or three yards on tho Klee anchor ’man. Otha Byrd' end^JIm Hoff of Rice are defending 8WC chamn- iorf and runner*up respectively In the 880, but TU's Lowell Hawkin* son and Don Sparks look like the best half mile bets.

Other A&M half-milers entered are Clifford Shaeffer and Ocil Inglchart. | J. D. Hampton is the odds-On choice in the mile and two-mile and the Cadets could easily make a clean sweep in the mile with Jul ian Herring and John Garmanjy. Dick Brooks of Texas is the nejet best miler. Behind Hampton in the two-mile will be Bobby Whiseh- hunt of TU and A&M’s Jerry Bop- nen and Jim McMahon in a mighty good race. , [ Hurdles A&M Events \ The hurdles look like Aggie events' again with Paul Leming favored in the highs and Bob Hall in the lows. Billy Bless may push Hall in the lows, along with Lean ing, and is hoping to find himself in the.highs this week. Rice looks like the class in tijpl mile relay but the improving An gies will give ’em a racq. Some other A&M entries are Dave Yiengdfr Gary Anderson, and Jack Bond in the sprints. Probably Bernard Place will run in the 440 and with Buddy Shaeffer, Dion Cavdbn, and Mitchell will form the mile relay. Ed Hooker will garner points in the discus and Elmo Wade will be the third Aggie in Ifhe pole vault.

ROLAND A successful seven-foot putt ’by Texas!-Morris Williams with “the pressure on” meant a 4-2 victory for the Austin team over AAM’s linksmen in conference‘competition Wednesday over the Bryan Coim- try Club course. /I | \ < • Williams' bull plunked Into ihc cup on the 18th green to give him a 1-Up victory over Aggie ace Gone Darby. The two golfers w^ere all tied up coming onto the final hole, hut. Darby's pav for the hole Just fulled to stop Williams, who holed out with a birdie for the win. , J , IF—everyone i has heard', about "IPs”—Williams’ m,tt had missed, the doubles match involving the two and Darby’s partner Tinny GuefrorO and Texan Recce Alexan der would have been tied and each team would receive/'14 a point. Still IMpe Dreaming s IF—still another "Jf"—the putt hud missed,'the singles match be tween' Darby and Williams would have continued and IF Darby bad won -pn a later hole—then A ; &M would have defeated Texas, .3t4 to 2'y. BUT—since this is all specula tion and the putt: didn’t miss— A&M lost, but in doing so still held the favored Longhorns much better than the “experts” had pre dicted. ' In another close match Alexan der topped Guerrero, 2 and 1. ,The combined results of this match and the Williams-Darby duel gave the UT doubles team a 1-up vic tory, also. Fletcher Downs Texan The remaining singles matches saw Aggie J. C. Fletcher down Steer Billy Penn, 3 and 1, and Texan Marion Pfluger top Ag Monty Currie, 6 and 6.

To Buffs with Miscues By CHUCK CABANISS Too many charity passes to first base and poor base*running marred an otherwise fine performance of the Cadets aa they dropped a 10- inning tilt to Houston, 4-6, yes terday afternoon on Kyle Field. The Bayou City’s AA Texas League Buffs were outhit by the Maroons six to eight, but the pro fessional nine tallied two runs in the tenth frame to break-up the tight contest. Zernia’s home run af ter Czaplekski had been issued a base on balls provided the Houston club with its twb-run- margin. Ag starter Bruce Morisse was charged with the loss despite the shortness of his mound duty. The Nordheim hairier was derricked after walking the first four bat ters to face him. With one .man already given free passage home, Sam Blanton took over the hurling chores and walked the .fifth player to enter the bat ter’s box for Houston, forcing a second run home. Starting Buff first-sacker Kellert drove in a third run before Blanton retired the side. For the remainder of the clash Blanton’s pitching was superlative. Ag Rallies Fail Aggie uprisings in both the ninth and tenth innings threatened to reclaim the win, but fell shy of the needed scores. Veteran Houston relief hurler Stevens ended the game by setting down long ball hitteri Herschel i Maltz and Wally Moon while a trjio of Cadet base- runners waited expectantly 011 the loaded sacks. - After Yale Lajry was Waved out on strikes to open the bottom of the tenth, A1 Ogletree waited out a walk, us did pinch-hitter Guy Wal lace, making hid first appearance of; the campaign.1 The next* batter, Joe Ecrette, was safe on first when the Buff baseman failed to tag him after fielding a dribbling bounder down the first base line. It was at this point that Ste vens relieved tip; tirin* bayou moundsman Hahp, and,Jljalts pop ped up to the catcher and Moon knocked a ground ball to the mound for an easy third out / Moon Ties Score A&M had tied the fray up in the ninth when Moon singled, Shug McPherson was walked, and John] DeWitt sacrificed to move the run ners to second jsnd third. The next man up. Hank Candelr ari, attempted to sacrifice—and did squeeze Moon heme for the tying tally. But the former Jeff Davis star was credited with a single rather than a sacrifice when the Buffs left the initial bag unguard ed and allowed him to make the sack safely. However, the rally was ended abruptly as McPherson was caught in a rundown between third and home following Moon’s success ful move home. Then to top off the '‘baek - firing" Candalai i was thrown out when ht attempted to steal second just as M cPherson was successfully rap'd own and tigged out. Hind-Sight Situation Maroons had seem »d due to have ratiners on first i.nd third with onij^ one out—but t le unsuc cessful Cadet' base-runr ing pre vented this situation fron develop- ~fiartier scoring had cojLe in tho second iinhing for the E uffs and the first and seventh f»r A&M. Hausmanh singled Haus home for Houston’s fourth score, and tin Aggie tally ,'in the first sad coi when Lester Lackey wai walked, then driven honrk by M001 ’s doubb Two more Cadet talliei came ii the seventh frame when 1 lalt on with a charity pass qn ball Moon was safe at first >n an ror, and McPherson do ibled 1 duo home with a ringing tw bagger.

Bryan, Texas From the dawn of human intelligence to the present, man has divided the day into measured periods. This interest in time is a natural development, because time is the essence of human life. At first, the passing of dajf’s. was marked by the sun, moon, and stars. Then m@n in vented mechanical timekeepers — the sun dial, the hour glass, the first crude clock. Eventually our present highly-perfected time keeping system was evolved. Because man’s life is measured in hours and days and years, it is Important that he put into each of these, the greatest amount „of good he can; for life passes swiftly. Religion teaches a man to lead a good Ufa, to worahip Ood and serve hia fellow man. Oo to Church and make the Bible your d ?
