Against Baylor Tomorrow
By BARRY HART
On the home court for the last
time this season, A&M’s cag'ers
try the Baylor Bears at 8 p.m.
tomorrow in White Coliseum.
The world’s largest portable
basketball court in the coliseum
has been worth at least 20 points
to Coach Ken Loeffler’s five. Med
iocre on the road where they have
won only two in two years, the
Aggies play 100 per cent better
basketball at home.
Beaten by 19 points at the
hands of TCU in Ft. Worth, A&M
went into an overtime period be
fore bowing, 62-59, to the Frogs
here Tuesday. The Cadets were in
the game all the way against
SMU here, losing 62-53. Their
single Southwest Conference win
came over the University of Texas,
69-67, in overtime last week.
The Golden Bears, led by the
terrific shooting of Jerry Maliett,
beat A&M in Waco, 67-58. Maliett
scored 30 points Tuesday as the
Baptists slaughtered the until-
then crown contenders, the Rice
Owls, 95-70.
If Captain George Mehaffey can
remain in the game for 40 mirn
utes, the Aggies are capable of
beating Baylor, despite the Bears’
recent showing. Mehaffey left in
the waning minutes of the first
half against TCU and his pres
ence would have turned defeat
into victory for A&M.
Jim McNichol and Ernie Tur
ner, a pair of sophomores, turned
in perhaps their finest games in
the absence of the 6-4 Mehaffey.
Turner scored 10 points before
fouling out, and McNichol drop
ped in five more, garnering five
rebounds and kept the Aggies in
the game.
Neil Swisher, Victoria soph,
meshed the pair of free shows that
put the game into overtime, and
his 15 points led Aggie scoring.
A&M is 1-7 in season play and
hold a 5-15 season record. The
Aggies must win one of their final
four games to tie their 1955-56
won-lost margin.

Baltimore "s Kell to Retire
At End of Coming Season
MEMPHIS, CP) _ Infielder
George Kell who needs only 38
more major league hits to reach the
2,000 mark said Thursday he plans
to retire from baseball after this
yeai*.
The Baltimore Oriole third base-
man said he figures he’s good for
that 2,00th hit and “at least” 125
games this season. But after that,
he said he “definitely” will retire
to give full time to his Swifton,
Ark., insurance business.
Kell, 34, told Wall Carruthers,
sports writer for the Memphis
Press-Scimitar:
“I want to play one more year,
because I believe I can help my
friend, Paul Richards. When he
left the White Sox, Paul said he
was going to get me.”

Aggie Swimmers
Battle NWL Here
Fresh from a resounding, 56-30,
victory over the Rice Owls, Coach
Art Adamson’s Aggie swimmers
take on Northwest Louisiana to
morrow at 3 p.|m. in Downs Nata-
torium.
The Fish splashers meet Texas’
top high school team, Reagan of
Houston, in the preliminary at 1.
After losing their first meet in
two years, 52-35 to Florida State,
the Aggies bounced back to
slaughter Rice. Adamson swam

the year.
The Louisiana swimmers aren’t
expected to give the Southwest
Conference defending champions
much of a battle. NWL managed
only 23 points a year ago, losing
by 38 to the Aggies.
A&M’s first-year swimmers
take on a Reagan team that Thurs
day beat their arch rival, Lamar
of Houston, for the first time in
recent years. The Bulldog swim
mers took the championship of the
Texas invitational high school
meet earlier in the year by beat
ing 19 of the state’s top teams,
including Highland Park of Dal
las.
Dieter Ufer, brother of varsity
performer Norman Ufer, will be
one of Adamson’s top swimmers
against his old mates. Ufer swam
second behind Orlando Cossani’s
record-breaking 1:01.6 timing in the
100-yard butterfly and was a
member of A&M’s first-place eight
lap medley relay.
Cossani, 24-year-old fi’eshman
from Concepcion del Uruguay, Ar
gentina, also took the 200-yard in
dividual medley.

Live a little as you build an
Engineering Career in Dallas
Talk shop or sports cars to Don Carter, and youTI find his keenest
interests. At Chance Vought, in Dallas, Don keeps up with
both subjects. He’s living while he’s building his professional career.
Fun, to Don, means sports car races at nearby Eagle Mountain
Lake, a night at the Dallas Little Theatre, or a splash in his swank
apartment pool. Fun means career, too, because Vought helped
Don find a field he thoroughly enjoys — exploring new applications
for human engineering in Chance Vought's Reliability Design
Group. Don’s helping designers develop electronic gear that’s pro
ducible, simple to operate and easy to maintain. His electronics
training comes in handy, and — for the human aspects involved — so
would a good grasp of psychology. So Don’s working toward
an M.A. in Psychology this winter at Southern Methodist University,
and Chance Vought’s helping with tuition.
Don helps Chance Vought designers create producible, edsy-to-maintain
electronic gear for products like this Regulus II surface-to-surface missile.
It’s an old Vought custom, helping young engineers. Our
symposiums on creative thinking, programmed job rotation for
broadening purposes, and expert career counseling have helped
start some spectacular careers. And there’s long-standing
agreement in bachelor circles that Dallas is a good place to
live. Our campus representative can tell you more about living
and advancing* in Dallas. Ask your Placement Office to make
your appointment. Meantime, if you’d like, write for immediate
information to:

CHANCE VOUGHT AIRCRAFT

Part of Don’s assignment is to improve cockpit displays in supersonic
fighters. Here he and a Vought psychologist study a problem ia
human engineering.
Our representative will be in your Placement Office Monday and Tuesday, February 25 and 26,
to describe firsthand Chance Vought’s program for young engineers. Reserve time for
your own interview by making your appointment today.
