Banquet to Honor
Ag Cage Champs
The men and the players who led
A&M to its first share of a bas
ketball crown in 28 years will be
honored tonight at 7. The event ? A
banquet in Sbisa Hall, one suitable
for the Southwest Conference Tri-
Champs who went into the NCAA
playoffs.
With the Athletic Department
footing the bill, the cagers will

ah E. D. prof and sports enthus

* Golfers Try
To Keep SWC
Title from SMU
For a last bit of homing be
fore the Southwest Confer-
. ence Golf Meet, the Aggie
v . Golf team will play host to
the SMU Mustangs tomorrow
^ afternoon at 1 on the A&M Golf
ajCourse.
The Aggies, who have all but
cinched the No. 3 spot in South
west golf, cannot knock the Ponies
out of second position, but they
can either hand the title to the first
, place Longhorns or keep SMU in
that No. 2 position.
If the Aggies should score more
than one and one-half points on
the Mustangs tomorrow, the title
will automatically go to Texas. On
the other hand, if the Ponies should
take five of the six matches they
would be the champs.
A four and one-half point win
to SMU would put the Red and
Blue in a first place tie with the
Steers.
The SWC meet, which starts
Friday morning on the A&M
Golf Course, will be staged to de
termine the Individual Golf Cham
pion. At 8 a.m. at least 25 as-
* pirants will tee off on the first
round of 18 holes.
The tournament will be 72 holes
of medal play, 36 holes on Fri
day and 36 holes on Saturday.
Luke Harrison, instructor in
Physical Education Department,
will serve as the tournament’s dir
ector.
A release from the Office of the
Executive Secretary of the South
west Conference stated that “each
member school may be represented
by not more than six players.”

Opportunity
Unlimited...
For men of high caliber and
university training, Douglas
offers limitless opportunity.
Today, as for the past thirty
years, our future depends on
men who can continue to
help pioneer in the field of
aeronautics.
University and college gradu
ates have made important con
tributions to our progress, and
have found Douglas a good
place to work.
As we push forward the
development of aircraft,
guided missiles, and special
classified projects for the
Government, we shall always
be interested in men trained
as aeronautical, mechani
cal, electrical and civil
engineers... physicists...
and mathematicians.

G AF pushed across four' runs
in the; final inning to edge past
E Infantry, 4-3.
George Martin, airmen hurler,
was touched for three runs by the
Infantry hitters in the first frame
but he' strengthened after the
shaky start and shutout the In
fantry ball club the remaining
five innings.
Wert Love started for E Infan
try and| seemed peerless throughout
the first five rounds of play but
wildness in the sixth was his
downfall.
Martin opened the fatal frame
by walking, Tom Spadachene was
alsft walked by Love putting two
men on the basepaths. Bob Far
row, Air Force second baseman,
popped out, but K. D. Hallmark
walked to load the bases.
L. M. Kaplan lashed a single
deep to ceriter field to send Martin
and Spadachene romping across
the horneplate and racking up the
first two tallies of the afternoon
for G AF. Donny Joseph followed
Kaplan and was issued a free pass
to once again jam the sacks. This
time Jack Bryant lined a single off
Love’s hurling to drive in the two
inning runs.

With a single victory over
SMU and a twin killing at the
expense of Baylor, the Aggie
baseball teain is a almost solid
bet for second place in the
Southwest Conference standings
and even has an outside chance
for first.
A&M with a record of 7-wins-
and-4-losses, plays Rice a doub
le bill this weekend at Houston
and then meets Texas, who has
a record of 9-and-l, the follow
ing weekend bn Kyle Field.
IF the Steers should lose one
of the games to SMU or the
sirigle contest to TCU, and
THEN lose a two-game sei’ies
to the Aggies, A&M could tie
the Longhorns for first—IF the
Ag.s take Rice twice first.
