Jim Myers Moves Closer To Aggie Job
State Defers Pay Raise
As Myers Leans To A&M
By GARY ROLLINS
With a smile on his face and a tongue in his cheek, Iowa
State’s Jim Myers remained silent on the possibility of his
being announced Texas A&M’s head coach and athletic direc
tor next Monday.
In fact, he went so far as to say “I have nothing to tell
anybody about anything.”
However, as the dark warning clouds spread over the
campus at Ames, Iowa the Iowa State Board of Regents de
ferred action on the proposed pay boost which was to be
tendered Myers.
When the promising young coach returned from, inter
views at Arkansas concerning the head coaching job there,
Iowa State was so elated at
his choice to remain in the
Hawkeye state they voluntari
ly boosted his pay by $2,000.
The decision to defer action
on a pay boost for Myers, as well
as for his assistants was made on
recommendation of Dr. James H.
Hilton, Iowa State College presi
dent.
Myers’ assistants were scheduled
for increases ranging from $250 to
$750. However, if Myers comes to
Aggieland, he is expected to bring
his coaching staff with him.
Myers expressed belief earlier
in the week that he would be
recommended for the job next
Monday, and went so far as to
name his coaching staff—which
is to include J. T. King and Wil
lie Zapalac, both assistants from
the former regime.
The only dark spot in the picture
lies in a meeting of the Iowa State
College Athletic Council, which is
planning a full meeting Saturday.
The Texas A&M Board of Direc
tors will not convene until Moh-
day, and it is not beyond imagina
tion that A&M will have their pros
pective coach snatched “from un
der their noses” once again.
However, the deferment of My
ers’ bonus is indicative of a po
tential release of the Cyclone
coach.
Nonetheless, both schools are
kept waiting for the announce
ment — which is getting to be a
habit at Texas A&M.
Ags, Owls Clash
Tonight At 8
Coach Bobby Rogers’ promising
Texas Aggies meet the Rice Insti
tute Owls tonight at 8 in G. Rol-
lie White Coliseum in what might
be called a do-or-die game for the
feathered' ones.
Coach Don Suman’s cagers were
almost unanimous picks to win the
conference crown this season, but
Texas Tech and Texas Christian
altered the opinions somewhat and
any further failure on their part
might mean disaster.
Temple Tucker, fair-haired G-10
centers for the Owls will lead their
attack. He scored 43 points against
the Cadets as a sophomore to es
tablish a school record.
The freshmen squads will meet
in the first game at 6:15.
