KU’s Wilty Stilt
Joins A-Gyes
Giant All-American to Play
For King Lifter Next Year
LAWRENCE, Kan., (Special to the Batt) — Wilty
Stilt, the Kansas Jayhawks’ great all-American basketball
center, today told reporters he is withdrawing from the
university at the end of this semester to join forces with
Coach King Lifter and his Texas Athletic and Military College
A-Gyes next fall.
Stilt, the seven-foot Negro giant from Philadelphia, home
of LaSalle where Lifter won a pair of national cage titles,
was a unanimous all-American choice after taking the Jay-
hawks to the NCAA runner-up position as a sophomore this
season.
Lifter, reached at his one million-acre ranch in Wyoming,
was bubbling with anticipa-'
tion of the 1957-58 round ball
season.
“We can’t be beat now,”
said the piano-playing coach
whose A-Gyes almost won the
Southwest Conference title, losing
only nine of 12 games. “We had
to pay plenty for him, but it’ll be
Worth it, just you wait and see.”
Stilt, who will have to take a
pay cut when he joins the pro
ranks, admitted that A&M had
offered him double what he was
making at Kansas—or $48,000 per
year—to come to Texas.
“But don’t get me wrong,” said
the retiring young giant, “The
money doesn’t mean a thing to me,
it’s the chance to play some real
basketball for a school where it
means something. You know, up
here at KU, they couldn’t get more
than a couple of hundred people to
see the games. Basketball just
doesn’t count here. I’ll be glad to
go to A-Gyeland where they really
go for it.”
The added height with the advent
of Stilt will give the 1957-58
A-Gyes an average of 6-6 inchese
on the starting five. Stilt will join
Wane Larry (6-9), Jay McDime
(6-6), Dive (Basin Street) Car
sick (6-6) and Nole Swisssh (6-2)
on the A&M varsity.
Registrar Hurt
In Negro Incident!
H. S. Hotwon, College registrar, is in the Veterinary
Hospital today recovering from what veterinarians described
as acute constriction of the cerebullus membrane.
Hotwon was rushed to the Horsepital Friday following
an attempt by a student dressed as a Negro to enroll at the
Athletic and Military College of Texas.
Miss Ima Lone, secretary to
Hotwon said she was standing
near his hole in the Admoni
tion Building when the inci
dent occurred.
She said the young trickster,
looking very much like Louis Arm
strong, asked Hotwon for registra
tion papers. She said Hotwon
made a wild grab at the telephone
and cried, “I’ve got to talk to the
president.”
Miss Lone said he never made it.
She said he fell to the floor in
convulsions screaming, “What’ll I
do” and “Got to talk to Herring
bone”.
She said she immediately called
the ambulance from Callabash-
Smith Burial Experts and asked
that they bring a doctor with them.
Hours later the meat wagon
crashed to a halt in front of the
building. Hotwon was strapped
into a straight jacket and thrown
in the back of the ambulance.
Later in an interview with Hot-
won at the small animal hospital
he said that he wouldn’t be in bed
today if it wasn’t for that childish
cadet who deceived him.
The cadet, N. T. Grate, who per
petrated the incident had only one high school,
thing to say.
“Beat the hell out of TU.”
WHAT IS THIS $250,000 BUSSTOP IN FRONT OF THE PRESIDENT’S HOME?—A
ranch-style Austin stone monstrosity mushrooming into the skyline along Jones St is
a “gift” from our sanctimonious former student association. Labeled as a “new religion”
by North Gate ministers, the building is being constructed only the most earnest ef
forts on part of the contractors who are already six months behind schedule. When
finished the altar will be graced by 5 ft. high pictures of Bear Bryant and his winning
Aggie team of 1956 and the presidents, both now and future, and past presidents of the
ESA.
Ags ? Mouton, Hurlunt Sign:
Contracts With Yankees
Dopy Mouton and Duster
Hurlum, two of A&M’s most de
pendable hurlers, were signed by
the New York Yankee^ Satui’day
night in Waco.
Mouton, the terrific little leftie
from Galveston, reportedly signed
with the Bronx Bombers for
$50,000 while Hurlum, the Baytown
product, took away $20,000 from
the world champions.
The loss of the pair will cripple
Coach Bo Brummell’s mound staff,
leaving only Captain Joe Friday as
a regular hurler.
“It was quite a shock,” mur
mured Brummell after reporters
told him of the signing. “I was
depending on those two to pitch us
to Southwest Conference titles for
the next two years. I don’t know
what we’ll do now. Guess I’ll just
throw in the towel and go back
to Bellville, look’s like they’re not
going to build a new concrete
baseball park, with lights and
dougouts, anyway.”
Both Mouton and Hurlum are on
their way to Florida where they
will join the Yankees at their
training camp.
“I should’ve done this a long
time ago—when I graduated from
commented Mouton
with a broad grin. “I’m not at all
interested in higher education—

or any education at all, as a mat
ter of fact. I really don’t know
why I let my parents and Coach
Brummell talk me into coming to
college in the first place.”
Hurlum was not available for
comment, but his parents, talking
over the phone from Baytown,
were noncommittal about the mat
ter.
“It makes no difference to me,”
said Duster’s father, “What the
kid does. All I want to see are
those dollar signs. That’s enough
for me. A college education is fine,
but Duster has always had an
unnatural attraction to the dollar.
This is just down his alley.”
FIRST FEMALE
(Continued from Page 1)
Betty has many ambitions while
here at A&M. In her list of de
sires she includes student senate
president, cadet colonel of the
corps, RV commander and presi
dent of the MSC Council.
In elaborating on these Betty
said “I have just must at least
be a senator. They always talk
about so many interesting and
weighty subjects. Just think,
maybe I can help choose a summer
home for Reveille and her guard
ian during the school year.”
As for the MSC Council, Betty
said “the MSC is run so demo
cratically that I couldn’t bear to
leave A&M without having been
through the MSC machine.
1956 Grid Profits
Oicing Gives
To Water Skiers
Knife (Shake, Rattle and Roll) Giving, watcher of the
almighty peso for the A&M athletics, today gave the entire
net profits of the 1956 football season—$37.71—to Coach
Arch Eveson to use as he sees fit.
The A-Gye water skiers, already overflowing with four-
year scholarships, took it as another indication that A&M is
putting the brakes on football
and encouraging the buildup
of other sports.
“I don’t know what we’re
going to do with all this
dough they’ve been giving us,”
yawned Eveson. “I guess we’ll just
put it into our new dormitory fund.
You know, we’re building a dorm
just for water skiers and polo
players.
“Plans aren’t complete yet, but
it’ll hold 80-92 boys with our own
olympic-size pool.
“We won’t have to come down to
to Downs to practice anymore,
just step out the room and into the
pool. By the way, the architects’
sketches call for the pool to be in
the center with the dorm built
around it.”
Giving said he was glad to give
the money away and that if he had
more, he’d have given that, too.
“I love to give money away,”
said the lovable Giving. “In fact,
I never have any of my own, I’m
always giving it to someone. But
that’s my way of enjoying life.
Easy come, easy go.”
. Giving, known state-wide for his
philanthropy, has been giving away
money for years, and is sometimes
called “The Rockefeller of Texas.”
