HERE IS ONE MAN THAT BROUGHT BACK THE EVI
DENCE—Above is Jim Henry, cousin of W. G. (Breezy)
Breazeale, civilian counselor at A&M with a 54-pound buf
falo fish taken out of a three quarter acre stock tank on
Breazeales’ farm near Crockett. Breazeale caught this fish
and another—not worth taking a picture of, it only weigh
ed 51 pounds—in the tank on a gill net. The above fish was
39 inches long and had scales on it about the size of a silver
dollar. Breazeale says authorities have estimated the age
of the fish to be around 19 years old.

Sports’ fans of the College Sta
tion area are presently showing a
rapidly-rising interest in a “minor”
sport, tennis. Interest among both
adults and youngsters in this sport
is probably higher now than at any
time in many years.
Plans are now underway for a
tennis club to be organized among
enthusiasts of the sport in College
Station and Bryan.
Miss Mary Bell Kidd, Bryan
High School tennis coach, has an
nounced that a meeting of all
those interested in forming such a
club would be held next Thursday
night, August 16. The exact time
and place will be announced at a
later date.
According to Miss Kidd, director
of the local tennis meet to be held
at the A&M College Concrete
Courts next week, almost 50 en
tries had been received with the
entry deadline still several days
away. Play will be in three divi
sions—12-and-under, 13-15, and 16-
18 for both boys and girls. Singles
will be run off on Monday, doubles
on Tuesday, and mixed doubles on
Wednesday. (
Making up in quality wliat they
may lack in quantity, College Sta
tion swimmers are creating a large
“splash” in more ways than one.
Coach Art Adamson’s charges have
competed in several meets through
out the state this summer, and they
have always managed to come
home with quite a few honors, both
as a team and individually.
Doing the bulk of the swimming
for College Station this summer
has been John Harrington, Tetsuo
Okamoto, Jim Covan, Jerry Mount,
Martha Shawn, Gail Schlesselman,
Ann Cleland, Judy Litton, and Ann
Schlesselman, and all of them, at
one time or another, have finished
very high in their respective events.
Swimming, like tennis, is often
called a “minor” sport, but, none
theless, Coach Adamson’s tankers
have brought many honors to this
city during the past two months.
Skippin’ around: The Brooklyn
Dodgers’ Don Newcombe, often re
ferred to as “gutless” in the past
is riding a real streak at the pres
ent time. He has won eight
straight games, giving him 17 for
the year, pitched three consecutive
shutouts (one shy of the record)
and 33 consecutive scoreless in
nings. . . Don’t be too surprised
if “Bear” Bryant’s South All-Stars
upset the “dope” and down Abe
Martin’s favored North All-Stars
tomorrow night in Lubbock at the
Texas High School Coaching
School. Aggie-bound Charles Mil-
stead may be one of the main rea
sons. It will be a genuine upset.
Intramural Sports
By DON BISSETT
Law Hall is the stardust team
of the current Intramural softball
league. Behind the winning pitch
ing of right-handed Danny Valdez
the team has won six while losing
only one game. Clayton Molle has
been a stalwart on defense and is
striking fear into the hearts of op
posing pitchers with his power at
the. plate.
Walton Hall is in a distant, and
none to secure second place, with
a record of four wins and three
losses. They have come back strong
after a slow start to win their last
three games. Waltons’ improve
ment stems from the return of in
jured pitcher “Chick” Dvoracek
who went in to put down two ral
lies then handed Law Hall its only
defeat, a 10 to 9 thriller.
Puryear, with a record of three
wins and three losses, holds third
place, followed closely by College-
view “A” and Collegeview “B”,
each with records of three wim
and four losses. Dorm 16 is in
last place with a record of two
wins and five losses.
All games are played on the
A&M softball field the first foui
night of the week. Two games arc
played each night, starting at 7:15
p.m. and 8:45 p.m. They are free
and stands are available for the
public.
