Handball is by far the most popular individual partici
pant sport on the A&M campus. Records show that 115 six-
man teams and from 100 to 150 individuals participate in the
intramural team and open handball action alone, much less the
hundreds of others who play the game on their own.
A&M has, five handball courts—three doubles and a pair
of singles. At the most, 16 men can play at one time, and
rarely can you drop by the “Little Gym” and not find Aggies
waiting to get on a court. In fact, intramurals tie up the
meager facilities for the entire second semester, outside of
the Physical Education Department classes.
The five courts are located in the grey, frame building
west of Downs Natatorium. The building has been here since
before 1920—and looks it. The doubles courts are 22 feet
wide, 12 feet high and 28 feet long, with the singles courts
two feet narrower. The walls are nothing more than plain
boards, the ventilation is nil and the lighting is very poor.
Regulation handball courts call for dimensions of 20
by 20 by 40 feet with hardwood floors, plaster walls, good
lighting and proper ventilation (if you’ve ever smelled a court,
you’ll know why). A&M’s fall so short of regulation as to be
ridiculous. They are cold in the winter and absolutely un
bearable in the summer.
approximately 30 by 40 feet and
lined with rusty, metal lockers.
There is one shower room that will
accommodate 12 men and a quasi
training room which includes one'
commode and one sink. The Ag
gies are the Southwest Conference
champs on the field, but the facil
ities for their visitors are still in
the cellar.
r
A&M needs at least 15 good,
regulation courts to even meet the
demand. It’s obvious that a new
building just for handball courts
is out of the question, but we al
ready have a place to put in new
courts—DeWare Field House. The
main structure of DeWare is still
in good shape, and will be for some
time to come. The seats could be
ripped out and the old basketball
floor partitioned off into regula
tion courts. The situation is des
perate and something must be done.
Whether or not it will is yet to be
seen.
The Aggie football team, too, is
in need of some better facilities.
A&M’s dressing room is adequate,
no more, but the eyesore is across
the stadium. All visiting teams to
Kyle Field must dress in one room

Mickey Mantle, star slugger of the
New York Yankees, says one of
his former teammates was the
toughest pitcher he ever hit
against.
“Allie Reynolds used to pitch
batting to us at half-speed anrl
I couldn’t get a base hit against
him,” says Mantle.
ANYONE FOR HANDBALL?—probably not if you’ve got to wait as long as these two
disgusted Aggies. Handball, the most popular participant sport on the campus, finds
itself stuck with the very worst of the poor facilities. Note sign in background limiting
play to three and two games for singles and doubles. A&M has three doubles and two
singles courts for more than 1,000 men who enjoy the game.
Aggie Tracksters Try Rice
In Dual Meet Here Saturday
Inspired by a surprisingly good
showing at the Border Olympics
and the probable return of two top
hurdlers, A&M’s thinlyclads host
Rice Institute in their first dual
meet of the 1957 season tomorrow
at 2 p.m.

i-he Garrett Corporation com
prises one of the most unique and
diverse research, engineering
and manufacturing organizations
in the world.
The parent company, founded
in 1936, has grown from three per
sons to nearly 10,000 scientists,
engineers and production specialists.
From the AiResearch laboratories
have come the pioneer developments
in aircraft components and systems
which have pushed back the barriers of
speed and altitude. Today, 90 per cent of
the free world’s aircraft carry this equipment.
Divisions and subsidiaries are also engaged in
creating industrial products in such varied fields as
marine equipment and, turbochargers for diesels, and
in supplying sales and installation engineering services to
airframe companies, airlines and the military.
Through foreign licensees, Garrett’s products and
engineering services now circle the globe.
ed fourth in the huge Laredo cin
der meet behind the University of
Texas, Abilene Christian College
and Oklahoma A&M. The Cadets
placed only four men, but they
took enough points for their fourth
place finish.
“We’ve never lost a dual meet
to Rice as long as I can remem
ber,” said Colonel Andy, “And I
don’t want to see us lose tomor
row. I think we can take them.”
Both Emmett Smallwood and
Herb Carper will run for the first
time tomorrow, and, although
neither is in top shape, should
pick up some points. Smallwood
took second in the 1956 Southwest
Conference 220-yard low hurdles
as a sophomore, leaped to a fourth
in the broadjump and anchored
A&M’s third-finishing sprint re
lay. Carper finished fourth in both
frosh hurdles in ’56.
Rice, who finished fourth in the
conference last season, will be aid
ed by a number of footballers, in
cluding swift Don Shuford, who
excels in the dashes. The loss of
Harold Griffin via the graduation,
route hurt the Owls chances, but
Roy Thompson, SWC 220-yard
hurdle champion, returns in the
lows and should win easily tomor
row.
The Aggies place the majority
of their hopes on the right arm
of Herman Johnson and the vault
ing ability of Winton Thomas and
James Clark. Johnston took sec
ond in the shot put and won the
discus in Laredo while Thomas
took the pole vault with Clark sec

Garrett’s growth has been rapid and its position sound
and stable, mainly because of the creative ability and ideas
of its engineers.
