Okamoto Wins Honors 0 CS Tankers Take Second By MAURICE OLIAN Battalion Sports Writer Facing what was probably their roughest competition of the season, College Station’s swimmers failed by only seven slim points in their attempt to capture the team title in the Gulf Amateur Athletic Union Swimming Meet. Their total of 85 points, however, was good for se cond place in the rugged meet, which was held in Houston.

Senators Take White Sox 11-1 For Pennant After scoring four runs in the bottom of the first inning last night at College Station Little League Park, the Senators had little diffi culty in subduing the White Sox 11-1 and capturing the second-half pennant of the American League South. The Senators became co-champ ions for the full-season with the White Sox, who had previously won the first-half title. The trophy for the league winner was awarded to both teams following last night’s battle. Senator hurler Johnny Williams had almost no trouble with the White Sox, who had two of their regulars missing from the line-up in the “blue-chips” play-off. Wil liams allowed only one hit, a two- base blow by Pat Thompson, in the five innings that he toiled. (That made a total of six innings that he had pitched this week, which is the maximum for Little League pitchers, so he had to be relieved at the end of the fifth frame,) He struck out eight White Sox, walked three, and hit two. The last inning was worked by Joe Olian, who retired the side in order. He fanned two batters in the process. A batter hit by the pitch, a walk and doubles by Jimbo Carroll and Harry Lewis, plus a single by Sid ney Coufal, assounted for the first- inning uprising. The White Sox’ lone tally came in the top of the second. After a base on balls, Thompson’s double, and the batter being hit by a stray pitch, Ozzie Burke walked to force home the losers’ first, and last, run of the game. Three runs on three hits gave the Senators a safe lead in the bottom half of the second. A walk, singles by Larry Lewis and Jimbo Carroll, He won first places in the 200- meter individual medley and in the 200 - meter freestyle, as well as teaming with John Harrington, Jer ry Mount and Jim Covan to win the 400-meter medley j-clay. Harrington finished first in the 100-meter back stroke, and he came in second in the 200-meter individ ual medley and third in the 100- meter breast stroke. Mount took a second in the men’s 100-meter free style. In the women’s division, Martha Shawn captured second place in the 100-meter back stroke, and Judy Litton finished -fifth in the 200- meter freestyle. Gail Schlesselman gathered additional points by tak ing first in the 100-meter butter fly and third in the 100 - meter breast stroke.
