Swim Crown
Despite the efforts of Tetsuo Okamoto, A&M’s swimmers
were knocked out of the Southwest Conference crown by SMU
in Houston Saturday.
The Mustangs piled up a new high of 151 points, followed
by the Aggies’ 115, Texas trailing with 90 and Rice a very
poor fourth with 27.
Okamoto won three events—the 1500-meter and 220
and 400-yard freestyles. His 4:50 timing in the 440 broke
the record of 4:51.5 he set in 1956.
SMU’s Ted Scherer shared gold medals with Okamoto,
winning the 200-yard breaststroke, the 200-yard butterfly
and the 100-yard breaststroke, a new event this year. Scherer
erased the 200 - breaststroke
record of A&M’s Dick Weick
with a 2:32.4.
Dick Hunkier broke his own
23.1 record in the 50-yard
freestyle with a 22.8 and turned in
another mark-setting win with a
51.2 in the 100-yard treestyle.
The Aggies’ Hippy Woodard
splashed to a new record in the
100-yard butterfly with a 1:02.6.
A&M captured seven of the 16
events with the winning Ponies
garnering eight and Texas manag
ing one.

Cadet Nine Meets,A’s 1
On Kyle Field at 3
A&M hosts the Columbia, S.C., Athletics, farm club of
the Kansas City A’s, today at 3 p.m. on Kyle Field. Columbia
has been training at Huntsville.
Once more the weatherman denied the Aggie baseballers,
with a game against Texas Lutheran in Seguin that had pro
gressed two innings, ending in a rain storm and a game
scheduled Monday in Houston
with the University of Hous
ton being cancelled due to
rain-coaked grounds.
The A&M nine led 1-0 after
two innings in Saturday’s game
with Dick Munday pitching for
the Aggies.
The Bulldogs had advanced men
to second and third on two hits
in the first inning only to see a
a third out kill chances for a run.
In the second, Lupe Fraga

Texas A&M’s coaching squad has
put the covers over the 1957 edi
tion of their “Fightin’ Aggies.”
Coach Paul (Bear) Bryant issued
notice that the last week’s practice
will be under wraps—no visitors.
The squad is light in weight and
heavy in aggressiveness; in these
last few practices, Bryant and his
assistants will choose men who
will play the most football next
fall.
This should be the last of this
series, in spite of practice con
tinuing—you see, the subject mat
ter of these final practices would
make very interesting reading for
certain members of the athletic
fraternity who are not regular sub
scribers to the BATTALION.
Don’t you agree, Otis L. Robin

After securing field data, Mac McLeran lays out plans for new and additional telephone services.
Figuring on the future
Thurston B. McLeran, called Mac
by his friends, is an engineer with
Southern Bell Telephone and Tele
graph Company at Decatur, Georgia.
Much of his work is concerned
with the future — planning for tele
phone service to meet predicted de
mands a year, or five years ahead.
“My biggest job to date,” Mac
says, “has been engineering addi
tional communications facilities for
an airbase and adjoining aircraft
factory in our district. This means
making field studies of the cus
tomer’s requirements and planning
how new telephone facilities can best
meet them. Then I translate this in
formation into working plans for our
construction and installation people.
It’s a big job, and gives me a lot of
responsibility. It’s challenging work,
too, for an engineer.”
Figuring on his own future con
cerns Mac also. He graduated from
Georgia Tech in 1952, with a B.S. in
Electrical Engineering. He went with
the telephone company because of
the advancement opportunities it of
fered. Today, Mac is married and
has one child. He looks forward to
an interesting career in a growing
business where individuals can ad
vance as far as their abilities will
take them.
There are many rewarding career opportunities
in all Bell Telephone Companies, and at Bell Tele
phone Laboratories, Western Electric and Sandia
Corporation. Your placement officer can give you
more information about Bell System Companies.
