. . . 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.

ter a six imn stampede in the fifth
frame.
Nine walks, eight in a row, were
the prominent factors in the rally

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,

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.

Gordien holds the world record

counts for the fact Doyle won that

The 15-man squad competed in
