16-4 at the end of the first period.
The play of Guard Joe Boring,
starting his first varsity game, was
one of the scanty bright spots for
A&M. Boring, playing in his home
town, scored 10 points and played
a hustling floor game. Harry
Hearne, soph centei', looked good
in spots and scored five points.

Ramblers Get Revenge
Friday night, with 1:15 remain
ing in overtime, Allen’s Bill Brophy
dropped in two free throws for
Allen’s tight victory. The Fish had
beaten the Ramblers, 56-54, at De-
Warc field house earlier in the sea
son.
Ted Harrod had slipped in a field
goal with three seconds left in the
fourth period to give the Fish an
apparent 67-65 win. But Brophy
was fouled as he took the ball
down court, sank his two charity
shots and sent the game into over
time.
Brophy took high point honors
with 26, and Harrod sank 18 for
the Fish. Allen's Connie Johnson
counted 19, and Lew Blood scored
15 for the Freshmen.

6 We Must Be Realistic’
Calm, Serious A ttitude
Stands Out in Bryant
By JIM ASH LOCK
Assistant Sports Editor
Tyree yelled, “It’s football
weather and we all got the spirit!”
Montgomery roared, “We got a
man here who is going to go the
route!”
And Paul (Bear) Bryant calmly
remarked, “We must be realistic.”
In that statement A&M’s new
head coach and athletic director
summed up hts established outlook
concerning the titanic task of
straightening out this school’s ath
letic machine. That’s just the kind
of man Bryant is.
He’s realistic, frank, calm and
possesses a quiet disposition that
stands out in glaring contrast to
the roaring mass of hysteria which
Welcomed him upon his arrival last
night. Surround this ivith his bus
iness-like air and you realize im
mediately that Bryant is a man
Avho knows what it takes to get a
tough job done.
Bryant Chats Easily
During a press conference fol
lowing his Avelcomc at The Grove,
the 41-year-old Bryant chatted
easily and without nervousness
with newsmen on such topics as
when he will launch spring practice
and what ivill be his first move to
ward revamping the Aggie athletic
set-up.
He firmly informed those present
that he did not care to discuss his
plans concerning changes in the
athletic staff. He said he had no
definite plans along this line at
present, and did not want to risk
any misunderstandings by discuss
ing the topic at the time.
The former Kentucky mentor
said he did not know just Avhen
he Avould start spring training
drills. He said that he wanted to
inspect the Southwest conference
football rules and become acquaint
ed with his players before he began
any organized Avorkouts.
Doesn’t Rush Into Things
Bryant gives one the impression
that he does not rush into a thing
without careful preparation before
hand. He said that he definitely
plans to use some variation of the

parked^ his pick-up truck at the
north gate to give passersby a
peck at a 104 pound Warsaw fish
he caught Sunday.
Stanislaw, 1401 E. 28th in Bryan,
was on a fishing trip in the Gulf
of Mexico out of Freeport when he
caught the fish on a throw - line.
“The people on the boat said I
fought that fish for 1 hour and. 1.0-
minutes, but it Seemed more like 2
hours and 10 minutes to me,” he
said.
StanislaAv said he Avas fishing
for red snapper from the "Sun

Capt. Carl MuchpAvieh in Freeport,
and captained by Hcrschel Gollat
“These big fish kept tearing up
our fishing tackle Avhen they AA'ould
take a snapper avc A\ crc reeling in.
“I decided I Avould go for some
big stuff, so I tied a big hook on
the end of a small rope.
He said the captain furnishes
all the equipment, but had run out
of sinkers.
“The captain gaAu me a monkey-
Avrench to use for a sinker. I baited
the line Avith a red snapper, and
tossed the whole thing over the
side.
“I didn’t have any gloves or any
thing, and that fish sure tore up
my hands.”
StanislaAv said a man on the boat
Avith him landed a Warsaw 18
inches longer than the one he
caught.
“When 1 hung the fish, he started
around and around the boat. You
should have seen the tangled lines
and heard the remarks made.
“Everyone Avanted me to cut the
line, but 1 wouldn't have for the
Avorld. I Avanted that fish bad, and
I got him.”

Waco regional Golden Gloves tour
nament and Avith them the right to
go to the state tournament at Fort

study of personnel capabilities

ascertaining how many football
players are participating in spring
sports, and an athletic staff or
ganization Avill all take place be
fore spring practice. No, it doesn’t
appear that Bryan is a man avIio
rushes into things.
“The Bear’s” outlook on the pur
pose of college, like his mannerism,
is free from foolishness. In his
response to the welcome at The
Grove, he said, “We must realize
that athletics are only a small part
of a great institution.”
‘School Work Must Come First’
In the press conference he fur
thered this statement Avith, “Natu
rally schoolwork must come first.
It is my general opinion, and that
of many Other coaches, that a boy
who does Avell in his academic Avork
will do a good job for you on the
field.”
If any foolishness existed pre
viously in the A&M athletic pro
gram, it Avill soon disappear with
Bryant in the director’s scat.
So now everyone is happy. Wo
have a big name coach who can
get the job done if anyone can.
The athletic council is happy, the
directors are happy, and the ex
students arc happy.
Chancellor Yells, Too
When Bryant was walking from
the plane following his arrival lasj?
night, a loud “Avildcat” brought
forth a roar of welcome from spec
tators on hand for the occasion.
Reporters glanced about for the
origin of the first yell, and who
should they see but Chancellor M.
T. Harrington, hands above his
head and still Avildcatting.
Be patient, you exes, for A&M
'ho\A V; has a man who is going to
put Aggicland back into the athle
tic spotlight. Not next season, nor
perhaps the one after that. But
before his contract expires, A&M’s
football teams will be high in the
standings. He’s a great guy. Aft
er all, the Chancellor doesn’t lead
