Wednesday, December 2, 1958 THE BATTALION Page §
S P O RT Q
H O R T ^
Battalion Sports Editor
By BOB BORISKIE
Football interest on the campus lingers around just long
enough to include the annual 12th Man Bowl game between
the army and the air force on Dec. 17.
However, before we bid goodby to the varsity variety,
there are a few changes we’d like to suggest to the athletic
department for next season.
We feel the student body rates a personal report of Ag
gie road games in The Battalion, and not merely rehashed
versions of game stories carried in
Sunday newspapers.
During the past season,‘‘we paid
our own expenses to cover the
Georgia game in Dallas, the TCU
game in Fort Worth and the Rice
game in Houston.
Games beyond our financial
reach were the Kentucky game in
Lexington, the Arkansas game in
Little Rock and the Texas Tech
game in Lubbock.
We made several efforts to get
on those planes, but were told it
wasn’t college policy to carry Bat
talion sports writers on road trips.
In the future, a Battalion re
presentative should be carried
along, even if it is necessary to
bounce some non-official passenger
off the plane.
Speaking of bouncing off the
plane, there certainly shouldn’t be
a recurrence of the Lubbock in
cident, when Herb Wolf, sophomore
fullback made the return trip by
train in order to make room on the
plane for an additional passenger.
Before going into the next point,
it should be said that Coach Ray
George is keenly conscious of the
value of good press relations and
was completely cooperative during
interviews. But somewhere in the
lower echelons, some character
failed to get the word.
After the TCU game, a Bat
talion reporter- was brusquely
ordered from the Aggie dressing
room by an underling smelling of
rubbing alcohol. Such delusions of
grandeur should be curbed.
Outdoor Sports
The Battalion plans to begin an
outdoor sports column which we
hope will be an interesting source
of information to Battalion read
ers.
Outdoor sportsmen are invited to
submit items of general interest,
and to ask questions concerning
game laws, hunting seasons, fish
ing information, game and fish
diseases or anything else that can
be answered.
All game and fish questions sub
mitted will be turned over to our
panel, Dr. George K. Reid, pis
catorial authority; Dr. William B.
Davis, mammal and reptile ex
pert; and Dr. Keith Dixon, ornith
ologist sans peer.
So if you have any questions
about fish, animals, snakes or
birds, the panel is almost certain
to know the answer.
Panel members are all members
of the wildlife management de
partment.

SELF TREATMENT PERILOUS
INDIANAPOLIS (^) — Self-
treatment of skin Yashes and itches
can often make troubles worse,
firing up allergy-type reactions to
the remedies used, two Indiana
physicians report. By patch test,
they found that one-fourth of a
group of patients Rad skin troubles
caused by one of a succession of
remedies they’d used. The report
is by Drs. L. E. Kaul and G* B.
Underwood in the Indiana State
Medical Association Journal.
