Moore Ready to Prove That Life Begins at 40 CHICAGO, (A*) — Archie Moore, who is ready to prove that life begins at 40 or more, has nothing but disdain for hecklers who inti mate that Rocky Marciano may have pushed him over the hill. Marciano kayoed Moore in the ninth round of their heavyweight title fig'ht 14 months ago. Rocky’s retirement now has brought about a unique situation that will make boxing history. By defeating 21-year-old Floyd Patterson at Chicago Stadium Fri day night, Moore can become the oldest man ever to wear the heavy weight crown and the first light- heavyweight champion to gain it. “I’m a Moore man,” says Sam Pianl, who helped pilot Tony Zale to the middleweight championship. “But the thing I’m thinking about is how much, if anything, did Marciano take out of Moore.” Ag Basketballers Open Season With Centenary If you’re planning to be an ENGINEER PHYSICIST MATHEMATICIAN OikJL Start your career with Douglas where promotions are from within . .. where every effort is made to place you in the kind of work you like best.

The Aggies begin their second year under Goach Ken Loeffler still lacking the 6-10 man necessary to get the ball off the backboards, but looking to McKeesport, Pa.’s Stu Heller for help under the bas ket. “Getting the ball is a necessity,” observes Loeffler, “and everything this year depends on Heller’s im provement.” A standout on last year’s Fish quintet, Heller came down with an old ear injury late last month KEN LOEFFLER—A&M’s head basketball coach opens his second season as Aggie hardwood mentor Saturday night in Shreveport as the Cadets meet Centenary.

Usually weighing in at 205, Heller lost 15 pounds during convalescence and is still weak, but progressing*. Loeffler, one of the nation’s most successful coaches, tutored the Aggies to as many victories in 1955-56 as his predecessor won in two years. In six seasons at La Salle, Loeffler won 145 games, lost but 30 and captured two na tional championships. The coach developed the fabulous Tom Gola, called by many the greatest play er in collegiate history. “WE’VE MADE PROGRESS,” says Loeffler of this Aggie hard wood team, “But I’m afraid every body else has too. Our big prob lem is getting the ball. If we had our two freshmen (6-8 Wayne Lawrence and 6-6 Dave Corson) we could get it.” The Aggies open the season against a Centenary team that is A&M’s equal as to height. “For a change they’re close to our size,” grins Loeffler. With Heller still on the recovery list, Loeffler will start Jack Sch- wake (6-5, LaGrange), George Me- haffey (6-4, Houston), Fritzie Connally (6-2, San Antonio), Ken Hutto (6-0, Amarillo), and Neal Swisher (6-1, Victoria). THE REMAINDER of the A&M squad finds Ted Harrod (6-0, No. Little Rock, Ark), Tom Kolle (6-4, Inez), John Henry (6-3, Oklahoma City), Harry Max (6-0, San An tonio), Jim McNichol, (6-5, Phila delphia, Pa.) and Ernie Turner (6-4, Beaumont).
