THE BATTALION Page g Thursday, February 17, 1955 s PORT H O R T S Ag Swimmers Meet Texas By JERRY WIZIG Battalion Sports Editor So now they’ve finally decided Paul (Bear) Bryant isn’t going to Baton Rouge after all, when the principal involved wasn’t remotely thinking of such a tnove. The whole incident of “The Mass Migration” (Bryant was supposed to take most of his present staff with him) shows how distorted a single rumor can become. Incidentally, the whole thing originated from Austin, more particularly from the University of Texas athletic office, says a reliable source.

The freshmen meet will begin at 3 p.m. and the varsity at 7:30. “We have a well balanced team this Saturday. That made it obvious that the only place Bryant and his staff would be going is to the Aggie practice sod behind Kyle field.

Word has it the rest of the staff was sweating it out until the pair NEW LSU COACH BATON ROUGE, La., Feb. 1GGP) Louisiana State university yester day handed youthful Paul F. Diet zel, 30-year-old Army line coach and former assistant to Paul Bryant at Kentucky, the job of rebuilding the Southeastern con ference school’s football prestige. The handsome, former Miami (Ohio) star was given a three- year contract at $13,000 yearly to succeed Gaynell Tinsley as head football coach. The LSU Board of Supervisors delayed action on naming a suc cessor to Athletic Director T. P. Heard. this year,” said Coach Art Adam son, “and we’ll certainly be in the i-unning for the conference champ ionship.” In the conference relay meet at Dallas earlier this year the Aggies finished two points behind first place SMU and two points in front of Texas. “That’s the kind of race we have this year,” said Adamson, “no team is a cinch to win.” The Aggies appear strongest in the medley relay so far this year. In a meet with Florida State the Cadets time in the medley was five seconds under the Southwest conference record. Members of the relay team are John Speich, Norman Ufer and Richard Weick. Adamson singled out Ufer and John Devenport as doing “very well” in the back stroke. He also praised Don Horne, Richard Hunk ier and Speich in the sprints, and Weick in the breast stroke. Top Fish swimmers this year in clude Jose Merino and Jerry Mount in the sprints, Charles Cook and Jimmy Dye, back stroke, and Chuck Price, breast stroke. 9 Mural Highlights Jack Lonquist, Tom Sudderth, Jack Offield and Odes Mattiza paced B anti-aircraft artillery to an easy 24-0 victory over squadron 8 yesterday in upperclassmen in tramural football. Lonquist returned a punt for a touchdown, Sudderth scored on an end run and Offield ran a kick-off back for a scoi’e and was on the receiving end of a pass from Mat tiza for the final tally. Squadron 13 won over squadron 20, 14-7 and squadron 23 shutout A chemical corps, 8-0. Dischler Loses; Two Draw Byes Aggie welterweight F. L.

He reportedly talked with Dar rell Royal, head coach of Missis sippi State, about the split-T. Next to Jack Mitchell, new head coach at Arkansas, Royal generally is rated the greatest split-T man- under ever at Oklahoma. (You can also bet that LSU of ficials wanted to talk to Bryant about Dietzel, a former assistant to him at Kentucky, so Bryant probably had to spend some time in Louisiana after all.) The whole unfortunate incident might have been an honest mistake that simply got all out of propor tion because the name Bryant was involved. • The big guy has fired the imag ination of the whole state as few people have been able to do. It wouldn’t be surpi-ising if Bryant was the best known public figure in the state, next to the governor of course. Think of the effect this in cident would have had on A&M recruiting o f athletes this spring if the LSU announce ment hadn’t come so soon.
