SUNDAY & MONDAY TFojans Invade SWC Saturday USC Up Against A&M, UT and SMU By CHUCK NEIGHBORS N Battalion Sports Editor Three Southwest conference track teams will literally “stand” against that power of the cinder path, University of Southern California’s Trojans, in a quadrangular meet Satur day night in Dallas. The Aggies, the University of Texas Longhorns and the Mustangs of Southern Methodist, will be out to snap the string of consecutive track victories piled up by the mighty Trojans. However, the Trojans of ancient history were once defeated by an army which attacked from a wood en horse, and the modem Trojans would do well not to enter the Dal las meet with a complacent “We- can’t-help-but-win” attitude. The Southwest conference is known the nation over as a section of the country which grows “champion- breaking”. teams. Upset Territory For example, take the rivalry be tween SMU and Notre Dame and Texas’ upsets of highly-ranked teams. The Aggies have added their share of upsets to the prog nosticators’ guess lists too. South ern Cal had better enter Dal-Hi stadium with a will to win, or they’ll leave it without a victory. In solo meets, the three South west conference teams entered in the meet might look ridiculous against mighty USC, but with the three allied against USC, the Tro jans are in a meet which will cer tainly be no breeze for them. Each of the teams will realize a financial gain from the meet, as 10,000 persons have paid to see it. Almost unprecedented in the his tory of SWC track meets, the crowd may be the largest ever to view a quadrangular meet in Texas. Expenses and Profit All of the teams will receive their traveling expenses as a re sult of the proceeds of the meet and in addition some profit from the unexpectedly large ticket sale. It should be a meet well worth seeing. The Longhorns’ sprint teams will be out to lower their times as will the distance teams of the Aggies and the Trojans. SMU will serve in more of an harrassing role than as a real point getter. The way we see it, the Trojans will wind up with the most points, with Texas close behind, the Ag gies in the third slot and SMU also running. From Mound To Field Lou Little Excels In Either Position By ERIC MILLER Battalion Staff Writer Lou Little, recently switched to a spot in right field in the Aggie lineup, has been one of Coach Beau Bell’s steadiest relief huilers. Lou proved the wisdom of the move however, with a two for four hitting exhibition against Rice Tuesday. He began playing ball while in high school and by his junior year in Schulenburg high was a start- CIRCLE LAST DAY )ABRE INCOLOR — Also — Paulette GODDARD )c wjjK \ in Ansco ' 1 COLOR SATURDAY ONLY “GUN SMOKE” Audie Murphy —ALSO— “STEEL HELMET” Gene Evans ing pitcher. His last two years at Schulenburg he had a 5 and 2 rec ord. And playing American Le gion ball his record climbed to 10-0. In addition to baseball, Lou played football, basketball and ran track. He played end for the Schulehburg grid squad, forward in basketball and ran the high hurdles in track. Lou’s most exciting moment in collegiate competition came in 1952, when he hurled a sparkling two-hitter against the University of Minnesota Gophers and boosted the Cadets to a 6-1 win. During his four years.at A&M, Lou hasn’t excelled only on the diamond. During the fall and part of the spring, while not participat ing in athletics, Lou is hard at work in the class room. He has been a distinguished student four of his seven semesters at A&M. Lou’s major is agricultui-al edu cation. Following graduation May 21, he plans to enter the air force.

Here he recalls v, the variety of his training jobs. » {Reading time: 36 seconds) i U “Training”can really be interesting. I found that out when I joined A.T. &T.’s Long Lines Department after getting my B.A. at Cincinnati and my M.A. at Michigan in ’52. Long Lines is the organization specializing in Long Dis tance communications. I was put in the training program, and there wasn’t a dull minute. “For instance, one of my jobs in the Traffic Department was estimating the exact number of calls that would be placed in a city on Christmas Day. My estimate was off by only 68 calls! * “Then in the Plant Department, I made a study of damage done to a certain cable. Found out that the most damage occurred in an area used by hunters. Some special public relations work among hunters .helped improve that situation. ,* “And irTthe Commercial Department,^ j I helped analyze the communication prob- 1 f lems of one of the largest textile com- j panics —it had widespread offices and i plants. The recommendations made are 1 now in use. £ “The variety in my training has carried over to my regular job here in Cincinnati.* My job is to see that good service is maintained for private line customers — , pipeline and power companies, theater j TV and the like. Every day is different.' I “As far as I am concerned. Vve found . my career.’’^ Aj Like so many college people who have joined the Bell System, Dick has a job he enjoys.
