If you've watched them on
: the course, you’ve probably
j thought: “Boy, if i could
i just get my game down like
. that!"
Constant practice is the answer, of course, but getting the best
from your equipment is just as important, too.
That's where Spalding TOP-FLITE- clubs have the edge.
They have more to offer in precision balance that gives an
absolutely uniform swing-feel with every club in the matched set.
That's the secret of Spalding SYNCHRO-DYNED 1 clubs.
And, it will pay off for you from the first round. You'll make
the same shots with new uniformity. The perfect balance of
these clubs lets you swing through the ball with confidence.
H ithout “choking-up" or “compensating.” You get the bal.
away cleaner, longer, and with more shot control.
These are the clubs that have lowered handicaps b\as mm ■ 0\
Vs'. Spalding SYNCHRO-DYNED TOP-FLITE clubs^ Your Go'|
pro has them now. And, now's the time for jum to start pkr Inr
better golf.

SETS THE PACE IN SPORTS
Leftfielder Les Byi'd’s bat
ting average dx-opped slightly
in the Aggies loss to New Ox - -
leans, but he still leads the
team in hitting with a re
sounding .381 average.
Little Fred Ablon ranks be
hind Byrd with a .312 mark,
collecting five hits in 16 trips
to the plate.
Dick Munday, sophomore
righthandei', leads A&M’s fine
ari'ay of hurlers with a 2-0
record. Wendell Bakei', anoth
er sophomoi'e, has a 1-0 re-
coi'd.
The Owls, cellar dwellers in
the conference last season,
showed little hopes of better
ing their position this year in
dropping their two games
to Oklahoma A&M at Hous
ton, 17-1 and 13-4 this week.
Rice committed 21 errors in the
two lop-sided contests.
“I hope they saved a few'
eri’ors for us,” said Bell, “but
' we’re going to have to get
some base hits if we do any
good in the conference.”
