The committee set aside $2,000 for
the Boy Scouts.
Mrs. Lloyd Keel, representative
of the Bryan-College Station Girl
Scout Council, submitted the Girl

helping supply food, clothing, and

its own building in Bryan at the
corner of West 26th St. and Sims.
The attendance has jumped from
an average of 30 men each night to
200 men per day when the USO is
open over the weekends.
The USO asked for $600, and re
ceived it.
The Brazos County Hospital
Fund, through its representative
Benny Zinn, received $300 to con
tinue its program of assisting
charity cases in entering the John
Sealy Hospital in Houston.
Dr. E. E. Ivy, representative of
the College Station Recreation
Council, presented the Council’s re
quest for $1,350 to continue the
summer recreation program. The
amount was alloted as asked.
The YMCA general secretary,
Gordon Gay, requested $400, to be
used mainly for improvement of
Cashion Cabin, meeting house in
Hensel Park owned by the YMCA.
The sum was granted.
Bob Cherry, chairman of the
College Station Youth Committee,
received $200 to pay the last debts
incurred in lighting the softball
field at Lincoln School, and to pur
chase supplies for the future.
The Community Center, Inc.,
through its representative, the
Rev. Robert L. Darwall, asked for
$839 to improve its facilities at the
day nursery and kindergarten for
colored children.
W. A. Tarrow, principal of Lin
coln Schools, reported that due to
the facilities at the day nursei'y,
enrollment is up in the schools.
“Prior to this, some students
were staying at home to care for
younger brothers and sisters,” he
said.
After careful consideration, the
committee gave Community Center,
Inc., $1,000.
Vic Ehlers, county youth coun
selor, presented the budget request
of the Brazos County Youth Devel
opment Committee for its services
of counseling and correcting the
youth of Brazos County.
The committee granted $300 of
the proposed $600 with the sugges
tion that Ehlers submit a request
to the City of College Station in
July for the remainder of the re
quired sum.
Finally, the committee set aside
$1,500 for local charities in the lo
cal Chest Charity Fund.

A&M Freshman
Kidnaped; Returns
Neill Perry, freshman pre-den
tistry major from Austin, was
“kidnaped” yesterday and carried
to Baylor to be put on exhibition
before the Baylor student body at
a pep rally scheduled for 10 this
morning.
The Dean of Men at Baylor said,
through a telephone call last night,
that he had told the students to
get the freshman back to A&M
before the sun came up this morn
ing. And, Perry was here when
the sun came over the Academic
Building.
Here’s the way things went yes
terday evening. When Perry re
turned from classes, he found one
of his home town “buddys” from
Baylor waiting for him in his
room. The “buddy” asked him to
go for a cup of coffee at the East
Gate, but upon arrival there, it
was assumed more boys were wait
ing and they sped away to Waco,
with Perry in their car.
Perry, a member of Squadron 21,
got to a telephone and called his
first sergeant telling him that he
was alright but the Baylor stu
dents had taken his -clothes.
Lt. Col. Taylor Wilkins, assist
ant commandant, called the Baylor
Dean of Men to inform him of the
incident and try to get the student
back here. The dean said he would
handle the Baylor students, who
were to be in his office at 8 this

Ags Meet Bruins
Tomorrow at 2
By RONNIE GREATHOUSE
Battalion Sports Editor
Firming down Baylor’s flexible offense poses the big
problem for A&M tomorrow afternoon in seeking its first
win over the ill-tempered Bears since 1947.
“TCU stuck to a routine. Not so with Baylor,” says
Lorin McMullen, of the Ft. Worth Star Telegram, “The Bears
will mix ’em up, inside, outside, short and deep. If one quar
terback doesn’t display sufficient chance-taking, they’ll put
in another.”
Fans who counted on watching the 2 p.m. contest on
television are in for a disappointment. More than 6,000
tickets are still available, and under NCAA rules, any
game not a sellout can’t be televised locally.
*■ The Aggies will be out
weighed 10-pounds per man,
not an unusual situation this
season, by the burly Bruin
Rodeo’s Second
Performance
Goes Tonight
Cowboys from universities
and colleges all over the state
donned their western attire
yesterday and came to Col
lege Station for A&M’s spill-
packed All-Aggie Rodeo.
Approximately 75 contestants
were entered in the three-show ro
deo. The second and third shows
will start promptly at 8 p.m. today
and tomorrow.
Two new events have been ad
ded to this years show, “Profes
sors’ competition,” and an “intra
mural pig scramble.” Representa
tives from each group competing
in campus intramurals try for
points to add to their year’s total
by chasing, catching and toting
back to the finish line a half-grown
shoat.
Other events include bareback
bronc riding, wild bull riding, steer
wrestling, ribbon and tie-down rop
ing and a girl’s barrel race. Tro
phy buckles will be awarded to
winners of each event.
Profits are used by the Saddle
and Sirloin Club, sponsors of the
rodeo, to help send student judg
ing teams to national shows all ov
er the Midwest, said Ken Killion,
president of the club
linemen. Baylor’s stout de
fense held previously unbeaten
Washington to a minus 5 yards
rushing for more than two-thirds
of last Saturday’s game at Seattle.
“They’re stronger and faster
than TCU,” observed Coach Pat
James, who scouted the Bears
twice this year, “and, I wouldn’t
say they were dirty—but they’re
about the meanest, roughest, hard
est tackling bunch I’ve ever seen
play this season.”
THE BRUINS and Aggies
have identical 4-1 season marks,
and both are currently knotted in
a three-way tie with SMU for first
place in the young SWC race. Bay
lor won its loop opener against
Arkansas, 25-20, while the Aggies
hold a 19-16 decision over TCU.
Coach George Sauer plans to
save Doyle Traylor, his sophomore
passing expert, for the TCU game
next week. Traylor will be the
only player missing fi*om Baylor’s
first three teams, and as a result
the Bears will be in their best
physical condition of the year.
“We’re ready to play a good
ball game,” says Sauer.
JOHN CROW, brilliant both on
offense and defense this season, is
definitely sidelined for Saturday’s
