Bill Dayton
A&M Team Trainer
Dayton Well Liked
By A&M Athletes
By RAY HOLBROOK
Texas A&M’s athletic trainer for
the past two years has been Bill
Dayton, and according to reports
from the athletes, they hope he
will remain here for many years
to come.
Bill is a native of New York
City, the same place where he
began and completed his formal
education. Graduating from high
school in 1933, he completed three
years of schooling in which he
participated in almost every form
of athletics, having his mind set
on being an athletic trainer.
He enrolled at the Swedish In
stitute of Physiotherapy in his
home.city New York and graduated
in 1937. The Institute has since
Barney Welch
Intramural Director
Welch is in charge of the Intra
mural Athletics for the second
consecutive year. Along with
the regular program which was
offered last year, a similar and
separate intramural program is
being planned for the freshmen.
Included in the different sports
are tennis, swimming, flag foot
ball, horseshoes, softball, volley
ball, badminton, golf, basketball,
wrestling, boxing, weightlifting,
handball, et al which truly makes
this “the largest intramural pro
gram in the world.”
TALL, SHORT YANKS
New York—(TP)—The recent pur
chase of 6-foot, 5-inch John (Jum
bo) Yonaker, defensive end, from
the Cleveland Bi’owns, give the
New York frid Yanks the Mutt &
Jeff championship of the league.

become a part of the New York
University and was at the time
of his education one of the two
schools of physiotherapy in the
country, the other being at Colum
bia.
It took Bill the four years to
graduate, but considering the fact
that he worked days in order to
put himself through school, at
tending night classes, it is remark
able that he finished the four year
course when he did.
The following year, Dayton took
graduate work at the Institute in
X-ray and athletic training which
he completed in August of 1938.
He then took the position of
trainer at the University of Miami
where he remained until 1946.
There was a slight interruption
during that time while he spent
three years in the Navy from 1942-
45. During that time, he was the
athletic trainer at the Naval Pre-
Flight Base at Athens, Ga.
Returns to Miami
Returning to Miami in 1945, Bill
helped put the football team
through their most successful sea
son which was climaxed with an
Orange Bowl.
In 1946 Dayton took the ath
letic trainer position at T u 1 a n e
University. Remaining there for
two years, Dayton saw the Green
Wave have two good seasons, the
best of which in 1947 left the
Tulane footballers with a 9-1 rec
ord.
Bill accepted the trainer’s job
at A&M in the summer of 1948 and
has been here ever since, keeping
the boys in working condition.
Dayton runs his athletic train
ing program in a most efficient
method. He operates and is com
pletely in charge of the training
room which has just recently been
“remodeled.”
Hasn’t Missed A Trip
He has not missed an athletic
trip with the teams since he has
been here, excluding such times
when there were two teams mak
ing trips at the same time. In
cases of that order, he is the sole
judge as to which trip he will
make, in most cases the trip on
which an injury may occur.
Bill likes A&M’s all-around ath
letic program which emphasizes all
sports. “This is the best and only
good way to run a sports program
and I am quite pleased and very
happy with the set-up at A&M,”
Dayton said “I am looking for
ward to many good years to come
with the Aggies.”
Rated as one of the top trainers
in the country, Bill continues to
smoke his pipe every day, and
when he isn’t around his work or
with his wife and eight-year-old
daughter, you might find him out
playing golf, although he won’t
say exactly when he plays for he
claims his game isn’t “in shape.”

★ Colonel Andy ★
The athletic career of Col. Andy
began back in Sparta, Tenn., in
1910 where he attended high school.
He was a standout halfback in
football and won the state pole
vault in track.
After high school he attended
Brandon Prep School nearby and
played under D. X. Bible. Col.
Andy followed Bible to Mississippi
State the next year and played
from 1913 to 1917 under him.
Andy finished his BA work in
1916, but played his 4th year re
ceiving his MA in 1917.
In 4 years of College football,
“Rat” Anderson, as he was called,
Avas team captain 3 years as half
back, scored a touchdoAvn in every
college game, but one against LSU,
led his team usually to victory, al
ways superbly, and was acclaimed
the greatest back in the South.
Defeated Once
As a track star he was defeated
in the 100 yd. dash but once and
in the pole vault but once in 4
years of College. He also lettered
on the baseball team for 4 years
and was captain his last year. In
cidentally, he batted either right
or left handed and fooled many a
pitchei.
One newspaper Avrote, “It is in
teresting to note the b'aze of
blory in which “Rat” Anderson left
Miss. State and his athletic ca
reer. In his last football game on
Gie last play, he scored a touch
down. In his last baseball game
at his last chance to bat, he hit
a home run. On his last college
quiz, he made 100. And to that
might be added that he left school
the most popular man on the Cam
pus.”
Elected Battery Commander
In 1917 the National Guard Bat
tery of which Andy was a member
was called to war. His classmates
and other battery members elected
iiim Battery Commander and so he
went into the Army as a- Captain.
After successfully struggling
through the Ft. Sill Artillery
School, “Andy” was sent overseas
and came back the youngest Major
in the American Expeditionary
Force.
The year following the 'jwar
found “Rat” Anderson back\ at
Miss. State as coach, but in 1920.
D. X. Bible asked him to come to
Texas A&M as freshman coach of
all sports. At that time he and
Bible and Dr. T. F. Mayo, Head
of the English Department roomed
together.
In 1921 Col. Andy took over var
sity track and cross country as.
well as all fish sports and remained
in that capacity until Bible was
replaced by Matty Bell, and Col.
Andy gave up all fish sports but
kept track and cross country.
Though no basketball player,
Andy had spectacular luck with his
fish teams, many times beating
teams that had defeated the var
sity.
Won 4 Track Titles
From 1921 to 1935 Col. Andy
won 4 track championships and
6% cross country titles.
In 1935 it really became Col.
Frank Anderson as he assumed the
job as Commandant of the College.
He held that position for 2 years
then returned to the physical edu
cation department in 1937. Dough
Rollins was the track coach at
that time. He did, however, keep
cross country and also took up
coaching the golf team.
In 1940 Col. Andy was elected
Mayor of College Station for 2
years. AH the city mapping and
ordinancing was done under his
administration.
The Army called again in 1942,
and Col. Anderson ansAyered, serv
ing this time for 3 years. He was
an instructor of the Artillery
School at Ft. Sill some of his

A&M Track Coaches
Tulsa, SdnAnionio Clash
Tonight in TL Playoffs
By Associated Press
Tulsa, which finished third, and San Antonio, which
wound up fourth, over the regular season route, clash Tues
day night at Tulsa in the opening game of a seven-game
series to determine the Texas League champion.
Tulsa took out second place Fort Worth and San An
tonio eliminated first place Beaumont in the first round of
the play-offs nine times since the league adopted this system
of determining the pennant, in 1933.
The oilers and Missions play two games at Tulsa then
go to San Antonio for three more. If the title isn’t determined
by then they return to Tulsa for two more games.
Although, Texas A&M lost the
1950 track title to Texas, Col. ,
Andy and Ray Putnam will be back
in ’51 with perhaps the strongest
track team in Aggie history, even
better than the undefeated ’48
ream, and which may include a
mile relay to top the A&M Na
tional Championship quartet of
’48.
★ Ray Putnam ★
Ray Putnam, the other half of
that winning staff, is a graduate of
Iowa State in 1931, where he was
a great college miler. He at one
time held the Avorld’s record in the
mile run at 4:08.
During the years folloAving grad
uation, Putnam taught in high
school at a feAv Missouri towns and
coached football and basketball
also.
His football team once won the
State title and was undefeated
throughout the seoson. Putnam
coached basketball team is said to
have lost but one game in 3 years
and that loss nearly made the coach
quit.
Putnam came to Texas A&M in
1940 as an instructor in the Agri
cultural Economics Department.
Col. Andy knew Putnam well from
his running days and asked Ray to
help Avith cross country which he
eventually took over Avithout any
publicity or knowledge or pay from
the Athletic Department.
Coach in Absence
During Col. Andy’s absence dur
ing the war, Putnam Avas the cross
country coach without anyone but
the boys knowing it. Ray also
helped Dough Rollins with the
track team in ’41 and ’42, and Avith
Rollins in the 1 service .in ’43. Put
nam held the team together, with
small help from Lil Dimmitt, the
official coach, enough to win the
SWC championship.
This continued throughout the
Avar with Ray coaching the team,
supposedly under Lil Dimmitt,
A/ithout any acknowledgement
whatsoever from Athletic Director
Homer Norton.
Also during the war as an in
structor in the P. E. department,
Putnam had additional time and '
actually coached the basketball
team in 1944 when the coach went
to the Army, without anyone’s
knowledge or thanks.
Andy Talks For Ray
With Col. Andy back in the
fall of 1945 to take over track,
he told Norton Avhat a fine job
Putnam had done and asked for
a part time pay as assistant coach.
But this, Norton refused to do say
ing, he knew nothing of Putman.'
Ray went on with track how
ever, and helped produce the ’47
champions. In ’48 however with
Norton gone, Putnam was hired as
part time coach with a small sal
ary.
But College officials caught this
and cut Putnam’s salary in the
Economic Department, where he
was teaching, the exact amount as
his part time coaching salary!
claiming the college hired him at
a certain salary and no more.
But Ray Putnam Avent on with
out a word producing champion- ,
ship teams in ’48 and ’49 and
here’s hoping for another in ’50.
Senior letterman Dwayne Tucker,
who is out for his third letter, will
celebrate his 25th birthday when
the Cadet eleven plays the Uni
versity of Texas November 30.
