■ •* / George, Floyd And Stiteler Converse On This And That By FRED WALKER Batt Associate Sports Editor “As far as I can tell these boys are as good or better than any boys with whom I have worked before. They are a swell bunch and I enjoy working with them. I appreciate their enthusiasm.” That was what Ray George, new Aggie line coach, had to say about the 1951 edition of the A&M Football Team. A few seconds later Head Coach Harry Stiteler broke in: “Well, we have about 70 men out this year and they look really enthusiastic. It looks like we are going to have the men to put out the kind of team that we and every one around here has been wanting—a win ning team.” The subject of Roy Dollar, transfer from Delmar Junior College, Corpus Christi, then inched into the conversation. Dollar came here with very favorable reports trailing him at every step. “Of course we are always glad to have a new man on the team.” (We interrupt to say that we can see Mr. Stiteler’s point. Dollar is 6’ 1” and weighs 190. Last year he threw 15 TD-passes and had a punting average of 40 yards plus.) “It is a little too early to tell “This thing (SWC basketball exactly what advantage he will be, race ) j sn - t over y e t and anything Walker but Hearing a slight sound behind, we turned around to see John Floyd entering his office. A few f questions and comments were pass ed and this was born. Floyd: can happen.” That was all he said, but if you could have seen the look in his eyes, you would have been able to tell more. Draw your own conclusions. “These Are the Times It seems that the Manhattan bas ketball scandal is a long ways from finished and the New York column ists seem to be widely at variance in their views. Several wanted to put the sport back on the campus; ing for paid athletes. That’s where the chief responsibility lies. If the college is mercenary, is it reason able to expect the athlete not to like the smell of money? In a money deal the medium of ex- others insisted that locale didn’t change is money. Athletes with matter, that the flaw was deeper, wives and youngsters get no gro- Herc is how some of crack New York columnists feel. Bob Considine, International News Service: “I’m not sure there would be an appreciable drop-off in the amount of gambling if teams returned to their band-box gyms. The thing has gone hog- wild.

A mercenary age, with mercenary athletic de partments who are hiring and vy- cery bills paid with college veils. Jimmy Powers, Daily News: “Temptation is everywhere. You beat it by facing it and turning it down, not running into the hills. Junius Kellog was approached in his campus bedroom.

Thattaway, that- taway.” These and many others are the sounds heard around Kyle Field beginning this afternoon and John DeWitt, star Aggie bas ketball forward, will hurry back to the baseball diamond to pro tect his left field position as soon as basketball season is over.

Bell expects 70 boys to report Thursday afternoon when varsity baseball drills begin at Texas A&M College. A&M, which won nine and lost five conference games in 1950 to place second behind the University of Texas, will have most of its pitching staff back this year plus several good prospects up from the 1950 Fish team. Nineteen boys have indicated they will try out for the mound position, but Pat Hubert, George Brown and Sam Blanton appear to be top pre-season candidates for the spot. Other candidates for the job in clude William Warriner, a senior; A1 Goodloe, Ernest Johnson, Carl Menger, Norman Robertson, Ed Sandlin, Bob Tankersley, James Taylor, and James Tunnell, juniors; and Lee Baker, James Cook, El mer Elkins, John Heft, George Martin, Charles Smith, and Wil liam Sterling, sophomores. At least three boys will miss the first portion of training. John DeWitt, Bobby Farmer, and Don Heft are currently giving their full time to basketball. Among the 10 seniors going out for baseball, there are five letter- men. Two of the 18 juniors are lettermen, and eight of the present sophomore group won freshman numerals last season. Because of the great number of boys out, Bell plans to issue uni forms to varsity lettermen and squadmen and freshmen numeral winners first, and then distribute the remainder of uniforms among the boys out for the first time. Two Father-Son Sets In Aggieland Sports Texas A&M has two father-son combinations in athletics. 1). W. Williams, chairman of the Athletic Council, is father of Bill Williams, guard for the Fish cagers. Coach Art Adamson depends heavily up on his swimming son, Van Adam son, individual medley champion.

Tutors for A&M Athletes Urged To See Dawson “Any man who would like to tutor athletes come and see me,” Bill “Dog” Dawson, Aggie end coach, announced today. Dawson went on to say that Going forth to engage the Tra velers were Peck Vass and his ex- Aggie All-Stars. Composing the starting line up for the All-Stars were Wally Moon, Taylor Wilkins, Jamie Dawson, and Homer Adams, all former Aggie cage stars. Floyd Plays Starting also with the Exes was John Floyd, A&M basketball coach who formally played for Oklahoma A&M. From the very start it was a show of horseplay and prankiness, plus moments of good solid basket ball. And in the end, the score, stood 43-42, the Travelers out frorit.

The re ferees undoubtably found it dif ficult to call the game against the girls, especially after Margie Arc- nos, professional model, placed a very affectionate kiss upon the forehead of each official immed iately before the game. The girls concentrated mainly on entertaining the crowd through out the majority of the game, rath er than running up the score. How ever, the boys were unable at any time to build up a sizeable ‘lead. Fouls Frequent Midway through the first half in came the All-Stars quintet of giants, the group height averag ing approximately 6’ 3”. This ad vantage held by the males in no way slowed down the girls, who, making use of the officials appar- i ' ent favor toward them, preceded to handle the boys with cave man methods. When a towering All-Star recovered a rebound, three girls simply drug him down to their level and took the ball from his grasp, wbile the other two kept the referees occupied with other antics. Halftime activities consisted of a challenge sent forth by Hazel to anyone in the gym for a free throw contest. Challenge Acc Despite her record of having won the free throw championship six times and holding the international championship for two years, the challenge was accepted hy Frank Tucker and Taylor Wilkins. Hazel placed 15 of 16 through the hoop against Tucker’s 12. Then, from a kneeling position, she sank 13 of 15 and eight of ten from sitting position.
