With only five more practice
periods remaining now, we’re
working under a new training pro
gram that we think is rather uni
que in college football.
AT THE BEGINNING of the
week Coach Bryant divided us up
by positions for separate “skull
practices”, or study periods, to be
conducted by a Coach who special
izes in teaching a certain posi
tion.
Now, instead of working out in
pads every day, we spend every
other day inside studying plays

Baseball Team Battles
Bearkats Here Today
By J. BARRY HART
Assistant Sports Editor
With two wins of the young
season under their belts, the
Aggie baseball team plays
host to the always-dangerous
Sam Houston Bearkats at 3
p.m. today on Kyle Field.
A&M downed the Bearkats in
their season opener last Friday,
6-3, in Huntsville behind the fir
ing of Dick Munday and Doug
Mullins, and edged Houston 7-6
here last Saturday.
Either Mullins or Munday will
get the starting-nod this afternoon
with the other ready for relief
duty. Munday picked up the vic
tory in the opener, giving up three
runs on seven hits, and Mullins
hurled two impressive innings,
striking out four and walking one
of the seven men to face him.
“They’re coming around fine,”
said Coach Beau Bell, “and im
proving day by day.”

den has an infected leg and may
not be able to start today. If so,
Lupe Fraga will open at the hot
corner, Clyde Stinson will go to
left field and Phil Newport will
move to right. Newport leads the
Aggies in runs scored with three.
Catcher has fallen into the
able hands of James Smother-
man, the Frisco sophomore who
looks like a solid replacement for
the departed Jimmy Williams.
Smotherman doubled home the
tie and go-ahead runs in the sev
enth inning against Sam Hous
ton in the first encounter.
“Smotherman has got catcher
sewed up unless he gets hurt,” said
Bell. .
Starting today will be Smother
man behind the plate, John Hoyle
at first base, Dick Bleckner at sec
ond, Fraga or Worden at third,
Captain Joe Boring at shortstop,
Stinson in left, all-SWC John
Stockton in center and Newport in

and working out our problems.
These meetings are designed to
give the individual the special at
tention that his position calls ' for,
and as a result we learn assign
ments faster, have less confus
ion on the practice field, and have
more time for serious work.
DURING THESE special meet
ings we can look at the 16 mm
movies of the previous day’s scrim
mage and go over our assignments
to see what mistakes we made,
and with help from the coaches,|
try to correct them. These films
can be run at regular speed, slow
motion, reverse or stopped at any
point so that we can get the mos'
accurate picture of how we ran a
certain play.
As you know, you can’t keep
any secrets from the camera, so
we have to go all-out in these 30
or 40 minute game-condition scrim
mages. The coaches give us a|
grade on our performance, and
we’re placed on the different teams
according to the grade we make in|
the previous scrimmage.
THE COACHES encourage us
to come in and question any grades
that we get, and they even let us
grade ourselves if we want to.

Sales results...and something more 1
Two and a half months after he began
training with The Chesapeake & Potomac
Telephone Company of Maryland, Bill
Colonna went into the army, spending a
year in Korea.
“While, in the service,” Bill says, “I
never thought of having to look for an
other job. I resumed my career in the
telephone business as soon as I got back.
What’s more, my rate of pay was in
creased by crediting my time in the army.
“After training, I was promoted to
Sales Manager in Salisbury, Md. Tm re
sponsible for initiating, planning and co
ordinating sales activities in an area
serving 50,000 customers in nine counties
on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. 1
select and train men for my sales force,
and help business office managers with
their sales problems.
“Sales and marketing in the telephone
business are growing more important
every day. We’ve many new and different
services to offer people. It’s a job with
scope, variety and challenge.
“Arranging for customers’ communi
cations requirements keeps me in touch
with all departments of the company.
These contacts add valuable experience
that will always prove useful. I wanted
a career that was broad and full of oppor
tunities, and that’s what I’ve got.”
Bill Colonna is typical of the many young men who have
interesting jobs in the telephone business. Career oppor
tunities of many kinds exist in other Bell Telephone
Companies, and in Bell Telephone Laboratories, Western
Electric and the Sandia Corporation. Your placement
officer has more information about these companies.
