Students Simmering
Over JMlAA Ruling
By JOE TINDEL
Aggie moods of anger and dis
appointment lessened somewhat
yesterday as students began to
realize the National Collegiate
Athletic Association’s refusal to
lift the Cotton Bowl ban was final.
Yesterday some students were
able to express opinions without
too much emotion.
John Mayfield, junior business
administration major in Squadron
5, calmly stated his opinion.
“I think that A&M benefited
from the NCAA ruling in some
ways,” he said. “We got a lot of
good, free publicity and besides
that, I think the team will be help
ed some. The ruling will inspire
them to play good ball the rest of
this year to show that they are
champions. It will also make them
play well next year.”
Bill Maxwell, freshman chemical
engineering major in Squadron 18
said he had Suspected that the rul
ing would be as it was.
“I was disappointed like a lot of
other Aggies but with the NCAA
law like it was, it had to come
out that way,” he said.
Bill Yates, sophomore civilian
student majoring in personnel
management, gave his first re
iction.
“First thing I thought of was that
i lot of Aggies who had planned
.,o go to the Cotton Bowl were go
ng to be awfully disappointed.
Generally Aggies were in accord
with Bill Dorsey, head yell leader,
who Tuesday night said:
“We don’t have to play in the
Cotton Bowl, Army. We can have
our own bowl game down at Austin
on Thanksgiving when we beat the
h— out of Texas.”

initely in the minority.”
“We hope that collectors and
zone chairmen can contact every
one and get every possible contri
bution,” Dr. John Milliff, co-chair
man of the drive said. “Our only
big source of revenue left is the
contribution from the Bryan Air
Force Base United Fund. In a
sense, however, the drive neveft -
ends, and we hope donations will
continue all year.”
Persons who wish to donate may
do so by contacting Milliff, Tip-
pit, Thompson or the other co-
chairman, Bob Reed.

Letters
Editor,
The Batttalion
To The Fightin’ Aggie Football
Team:
We want you to know that we
share your deep feelings about the
NCAA’s decision on our probation.
We are all proud of the way you
have worked to have a team that
should be and soon will be rated No.
1 in the nation.
I know that if everyone really
knew of the spirit you have and so
consistently displayed, there would
be no doubt in anyone’s mind as to
who is going to win the SWC
championship.
It really looked great to see all
of you show you still had this spirit
even after the bad news, a hard
practice and then come to attention
in front of the mess hall Tuesday
night when the spirit was played
at yell practice.
I speak for the men in Sqdn’ 1,
who are only a small part of the
student body, by saying that you as
a team have our vote of confidence
and that we believe you have what
it takes to beat the h— out of
Rice, Texas and the NCAA.

Mexican Gunboat
Wounds Shrimper
BROWNSVILLE, Tex., UP)_A
shrimp boat captain wounded Mon
day when a Mexican gunboat fired
on his boat yesterday accused the
Mexicans of shooting first and ask
ing questions later.
Capt. Tom Wilson, 42, of the
shrimp boat Pescador told news
men when he arived here by plane
from Tampico, Mex., that the
Mexican gunboat did not warn
him before it opened fire.
Mexican authorities claimed
Wilson was fishing inside the nine-
mile coastal waters Mexico claims.
Wilson denied his boat was ope
rating inside Mexican territorial
waters.
The United States yesterday ex
pressed “surprise” to Mexico that
a Mexican gunboat fired on the
Pescador, State Department sources
reported. They said the U. S. Em
bassy in Mexico City has asked the
Mexican government for a full re
port on the wounding of Capt.
Wilson.

AUSTIN, Tex., (A>>—Atty. Gen.
John Ben. Shepperd said yesterday
the state would begin taking de
positions immediately for an ex
pected full scale trial on the
NAACP’s right to operate in Tex
as.
Dist. Judge Otis T. Dunagan
said here earlier the NAACP had
asked for the trial on merits if
the state wins a plea of privilege

NAACP attorneys will argue at
Tyler that a trial on a permanent
injunction against the NAACP
should be held in Austin or Dal
las.
Dunagan granted a temporary
injunction against the NAACP’s
operations Oct. 23 after a five-
week hearing in Tyler.
