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

Hearing a slight sound behind,
we turned around to see John
Floyd entering his office. A few

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

Bob Considine, International

would be an appreciable drop-off
in the amount of gambling if
teams returned to their band-box
gyms. The thing has gone hog-

Bill Corum, Journal-American:
“Back at the source its the times
in which we live. A mercenary

partments who are hiring and vy-
cery bills paid with college veils.
Jimmy Powers, Daily News:

continuing through May 18.
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.

Dawson went on to say that
Going forth to engage the Tra

Aggie All-Stars. Composing the
starting line up for the All-Stars
were Wally Moon, Taylor Wilkins,
Jamie Dawson, and Homer Adams,

Floyd Plays
Starting also with the Exes was
John Floyd, A&M basketball coach
who formally played for Oklahoma

From the very start it was a
show of horseplay and prankiness,
plus moments of good solid basket
ball.

The Traveler’s Dorothy Jones,
popped the net with a neat two
hander from the free throw area,
and then the fun started. 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.
