Sports Chatter Concerning the hiring of A&M’s new basketball coach, very few people seem to be able to get to gether on the subject . . . D. W . Williams, chairman of the Athle tic Council, has said that the new coach has not been hired . . . John L. Floyd, who coached at Little Rock Junior College last year, has commented that he has been hired, and that terms have been agreed on . . . The other controversy arises from the fact that the Associated Press has reported that “Floyd’s quintet last year which was beset with poor material won but one game of 19” . . . Other information obtained claims that the once Okie Aggie star tutored his five to a six won, ten lost record. . . If Floyd is hired, and it is very prob.able that he will be, we hope that he will follow through with his statement on installing the kind of basketball that is played at Oklahoma A&M . . . Winning base- ketball, that is. losers were caught short, even af ter a six imn stampede in the fifth frame. Nine walks, eight in a row, were the prominent factors in the rally staged by Dorm 15 in the fifth. Scorers for the losers included Monks, Le Blanc, Glen Goodman, Johnny Mueller, Pete Dean, Jack Alexander, Bernard Place, Fitts, and John Gottlob. Texas Geo. 7, Milner 6 Texas Geology rushed across seven runs in the second inning and winning twirler John Cooley held the Milner Tigers under con trol most of the way until the sixth when the losers combined two singles and a circuit clout to tally a trio of markers, closing the gap to a one run lead. Gooley retired the side in order three of the innings and at the same time gave up six hits while the winner’s hit John Vaughan for three bingles. Sadler reached first on an error as he led off for TU in the sec ond frame. Jones got a hit, scor ing Sadler and then four consecu tive walks by Vaughan brought in Jones, Wessely, and Weatheral. McGhee and Tschoepe, who had also reached first on walks, scored when Cooley singled. Cooley came home on Dean’s double to end the scoring for the Texans. Three runs in the first and the same in the sixth were not enough for the Tigers. Joe Bennett, the leadoff man, walked to first and scored the initial run when Bert Reyes gained a hit. Ken Voss was given first on an error, and scored on Vaughan’s bingle. In the sixth the trio of Reyes, Voss and Vaughan scored with each man gaining a hit, Vaughan’s slugging out a homer, after which Cooley retired the side, ending, the scoring for the game, Maltimore, Alta—6P)—He looks like a dog, barks like a dog, and walks like a dog, but Teddy, a four- mohth-old Dalmatian, eats like a goat.

Tigers Shutout Yanks; Gain Two Game Lead Detroit, Aug. —Little Hal White gave the Detroit Tigers’ pennant hopes a big. boost yester day as he blanked the New York Yankees 4-0 on a two- hitter' in creasing Detroit’s American League lead to two full games. White, who wasn’t even sup posed to pitch in the Yankee series until Tiger righthander Art Houtte- man came up with a side injury Tuesday night, faced only 31 men as he became the first righthander to shut out the New Yorkers this year. Only singles by Gene Woodling in the third and Johnny Mize in the fourth marred White’s day as he outpitched the veteran Allie Reynolds to get credit for his third win of the year as against four losses. He drove in what proved to be the winning run with a second- inning single that sent Detroit’s first run across the plate. White then protected his 1-0 lead in a pitching duel with Rey nolds which was broken up in the seventh as Detroit banged three runs across to get its second straight victory in the important Expansion Of Coaches’ School g Planned Austin, Tex., Aug. 3—(AP) —Expansion of the Texas Coaching School to meet a mushrooming growth will be the major topic at the annual business meeting of the Texas High School Coaches Association today. Austin, with facilities that would have been adequate in other years, has been hard pressed to handle the big school with more than 1,500 coaches enrolled. The school now operates five days. Officials of the association will advocate adding a day and better distributing the various sports handled instead of carrying them all on at once. Some, of the coaches also are expected to ask that in naming instructors for the school that they be handled by sports instead of by the general membership. In other words, the football coaches will pick the gridiron instructors, the basketball coaches the cage instructors, etc. There is a possibility that the coaches will discuss running base ball through the summer months 4 ’ instead of during only the spring term of school, claiming that under the present schedule they do not have enough time to play an ade quate schedule. Regional meetings of the asso ciation were held today with four new directors being chosen. They were Howard Lynch of Amarillo for region 1, Johnny Stovall of Fort Worth Tech for region 3, I. B. Griffith of Silsbee for region 5 and Weldon Phillips of Harlin gen for region 7. Phillips was re elected. Hold-over directors are Abe Houston of Brownwood, region 2; F. O. Scroggins of Monahans, re gion 4; Buck Prejan of Lufkin, region 6, and Jewell Wallace of Thomas Jefferson (San Antonio) for region 8. Maco Stewart of Longview, the retiring president, becomes a di rector at large. Grady Heeter of Corpus Christi is slated to be elected president tomorrow. He is now vice-presi dent.

Doyle went to Finland June 26 with 14 other athletes, including Fortune Gordien of Minnesota,. Gordien holds the world record for the discus throw, which ac counts for the fact Doyle won that event in only eight of the 10 meets in which he took part over seas. The 15-man squad competed in three meets as a unit. Gordien won the discus event in two of them, and was unable to take part in the third because of a muscle strain, so Doyle won that one. After the three big meets, includ ing one at Helsinki witnessed by 13,000 spectators, thq squad split into small groups for barnstorm ing tours. “The people there really are track minded,” Doyle says. “They start training as kids for the dif ferent events.
