UPCOMING MILER—Billy Cocke, a sophomore distance
runner finished first in the two mile race in Kyle field last
night. Running against veteran Aggie runner Verlon
Westmoreland, Cocke finished in the very creditable time
of 9:46.4. Jim Blaine, regular Aggie two-miler, ran a two-
mile in Dallas Saturday which was only two seconds faster.

3-2 on Wild Pitch
AUSTIN — (A*) — Texas won at
least a share of the Southwest
conference baseball championship
for the 11th straight time Thurs
day on an eighth inning wild pitch
by Aggie Jerry Nelson that let in
the winning run in a 3-2 victory
over A&M.
The Longhorns can take exclu
sive possession of the title today
when they meet the Aggies again
in Austin.
With the score tied 2-2, Texas
shortstop Billy Daniels scored
from third on a wild pitch by the
Aggie hurler. Ronnie Keller, who
relieved Longhorn starter Don Rei-
fler in the eighth, received credit
for the victory although he threw
only one pitch.
Southpaw hurler Joe Hardgrove
will start for the Aggies today,
probably against the Longhorns’
Boyd Linker.

IN 3:59.4 RACE
By CHUCK NEIGHBORS
Battalion Sports Editor
The strength of the Aggies and
their ability to gain vital second,
third and fourth places enabled
them to sweep the triangular track
meet last night with a total of
80 points.
Abilene Christian college scored
48 points and North Texas state
37. ACC, although compiling sev
en firsts to A&M’s six, had fewer
entries in the meet than the Ag
gies, so failed to pick up the nec
essary second, third and fourth
place points.
Billy Copke ran a fine two-mile
run for the Aggies, chalking up a
race just two seconds over Jim
Blaine’s time in the quadrangular

By MILT MARMOR
OXFORD, England, May 6 <.#*)—
Roger Bannister tonight ended the
athletic world’s quest for the four-
minute mile with a monumental ef
fort in which he was timed at
3:59.4.
Competing in his first race of the
year, and on his own track at Iff-
ley Road, the shy former Oxonian
burst through the legendary four-
minute barrier as a meager crowd
of 1,000, mostly Oxford students,
watched the memorable perform
ance during which he drove him
self mercilessly through a :58.9 fi
nal lap.
Thus he thrust into the dustbin
of sports history the world record
mark of 4:01.4 established July 18,
1945, at Malmo, Sweden, by the
great Gunder Haegg of Sweden.

An Open Letter
TO ALL AGGIES
In a very few days you will start checking the contents of your room
and deciding what items you will dispose of before packing for the trip
home.
Among your possessions, textbooks will doubtless loom large and
heavy—and recall to your mind the cash you spent for them. Although we
are in the book business—in fact we make a considerable portion of our
profit from buying and selling books—we hope you’ll keep the ones you feel
will be useful to you in the future. By the same token we hope you’ll
bring those you want to dispose of to us.
In order that we might understand each other better—and to prevent
misunderstandings—we feel it is appropriate that we restate our book
buying policy at this time so it will be fresh in your mind—and ours.
First, let’s dispel one misapprehension which seems to be prevalent
at this season of the year. YOU AREN’T GOING TO GET RICH WHEN
YOU SELL YOUR BOOKS TO US OR ANYONE ELSE. However there
are other compensations. You are going to relieve the freight load home,
make some used books available for your fellow Aggie in September and
in the process — acquire some loose change and perhaps folding money for
your-self.
Second, let’s classify the books you will have for sale. They will fall
into four classes as follows:
Class 1. Current copyright books, now in use on the campus and
which professors have told us they will re-use, and on which our existing
stock is inadequate for supplying next semesters classes. If all of your
books fall into this class we can predict now our last transaction with you
will be pleasant and profitable to both of us. On Class 1 books we will offer
you 50% of publishers list. Publishers list is the retail price of the book
when new.
tlEf
Suppose we take an example. Last Fall you paid $6.00 for a new book.
It’s now. worth $3.00 to us. If you bought the same book used at $4.00
and it’s in sound condition you also get $3.00. Now suppose during the year
the publisher raised the list to $7.00 (and many have been raised) your
used book is worth $3.50. If the publisher has reduced the list to $5.00
then your book is only worth $2.50, but don’t lose any sleep over this one.
Publishers are allergic to reductions.
Class 2. Several titles ot current copyright have been droppea on our
campus, or professors are undecided as to their re-use. Many of these
books however, will still be used on other campuses. Just where we don’t
know, but we have several large Used Book Jobbers scattered over the na
tion who make it their business to find out. These fellows will buy this
type of book, ship it to their ware-houses in Tuscaloosa, Lincoln, Chicago,
Columbus, or New York and then try to resell them to Oskosh, Siwash or
any other college using the title. Obviously these firms must buy the book
at a low enough figure to cover shipping charges, ware-house costs, sales
mans salaries and traveling expenses and to cover the hazard of a title
going “sour” on their hands.
Many factors—some of which fluctuate—enter into their priciiig out
generally speaking if the book is authored by a professor of standing in
his field, is published by a reputable publisher, and a new edition is not
eminent, their price will approximate 25% of list. Thus your $6.00 book
is worth $1.50. As a convenience to you we have adopted the policy of
paying you just what the used jobber will pay us for Class 2 books. There
is no profit to us in handling this class of book. (Frequently we complete
our stock needs for a Class 1 book before the book buy is over. Necessarily
we then drop that title from Class 1 to Class 2.)
Class 3. This class consists of old editions, out of print books and
sometimes books of current copyright which have waned in popularity over
the nation. These books are referred to by the trade as “dogs” and usually
have no value. However some few of them may be worth 25^, 50^, or
even $1.00. Bring them along and we’ll give you an appaisal.
Class 4. Class 4 books are Class 1 and 2 books in damaged condition,
necessitating a re-binding job. We can use these at regular Class 1 or 2
prices less 75^.
We hope this letter will explain a few of the complexities of the used
book business. We further hope you will sell us a lot of used books to
resell to 1954-55 Aggies, but above all we hope we’ll still be friends after
you visit our book buying department.
