Myers Sympathizes,
Will Not Reconsider
The man who really wanted the
job, Jim Myers of Iowa State was
more than willing' to comment on
the coaching - situation at Texas
A&M as it now stands.
In a telephone conversation with
The Battalion, Myers said, “I
liked A&M and so did my family;
we would have loved to come
there.”
When asked if he would con
sider “re-considering” the offer
should it be placed, he said “I
don’t think I could dtK'it. I could
n’t because of Iowa State—they’ve
really been swell to me—consider
ing.”
He stated that the Texas A&M
action had hurt him more than
anything else that has happened
since the beginning of his college
career, and added “I don’t know
what you folks down there can
do, now.”
“It’s tough enough for a coach
to go into a job where everything
is in his favor, but even worse
when he has to go with things
against him. It’s very obvious that
someone was against me.”
“Texas A&M assured me there
would be no more coaches inter
viewed until the board had a chance
to make a decision on me.”
Eddie Erdelatz was on the way
to Aggieland even before the
meeting began.
His final remark “I don’t know
what the Board of Directors is
trying to do, and I don’t think they
do, either. I withdrew my name as
an act of courtesy.”

5ver meet a dreamer?
Frills instead of fundamentals are what interest him.
In his future job he dreams of a carpeted office, a re
sounding title, an acre of polished mahogany to sit
behind. Wide-awake men, on the other hand, look first
of all for fundamentals — sound training, advancement
opportunity, challenging work, professional associates,
good pay. The frills will follow.
The Bell Telephone Companies offer such career
fundamentals to wide-awake, ambitious young men major
ing in the arts, the sciences, business or engineering.
Why not make arrangements to talk with the Bell System
interviewer when he visits your campus? And for more

The Aggie cagers unleashed a
deadly accurate barrage on the
basket last night in Waco to down
the Baylor Bears 57-47, but the
price of success came high when
star Wayne Lawerence crashed to
the floor early in the second period
with a twisted ankle.
Lawrence, the team’s leading
scorer and rebounder, was helped
off the court, his face twisted in
pain, with his anjde swelling twice
its normal size.
A doctor’s report on the serious
ness of the injury was not avail
able at press time, but locker room
sources say that Lawerence will
probably be out of action for four
to six weeks', possibly the re
mainder of the season.
The 6-8 sophomore from Conn,
was not only the Aggies’ answer
to the height problem, but also the
man around whom the offepse was
built.
The Aggie five’s defensive work
in the opening minutes of the
game, combined with their second
half accuracy of making 45 per
cent of their shots, was the margin
of victory for the much improved
cagers.
Leading the scoring for the
quintet was Neil Swisher, meshing
the basket for 17 points as the
game’s leading scorer. Bob Turner

of the Bears was a poor second with
13 points.
Another outstanding perform
ance was turned in by Archie Car-
roll, junior transfer from Redlands.
The 6-5 Carroll led his team in
rebounds, sweeping the backboards
clean ten times. All told the Aggies
did so 51 times, almost twice as
many as the meager 28 the Bears
could garner.
The Ags started the games scor
ing on two free tosses by Swisher.
The score became tied shortly after
that, then Army waxed hot to
build a Ifcad that at one time
totaled almost twenty points. They
were never seriously challenged
after the opening minutes of the
game.
Showing guts and determination,
the Fish came from behind to al
most win the opening game of the
night with the Cubs in an overtime
period, despite bud officiating, 70-
71.
With roughly three minutes of
playing time left in the game, the
Aggie five were behind ten points.
With one and a half minutes left,
Dale Ethridge stole the ball, fed it
to Don Mercer who shot and closed
the gap to 63-64. Mercer was
fouled while making the field goal
and made the charity toss to tie
the game at 64-64 and send it into
overtime.
The Fish quintet, led by a
Mercer who couldn’t seem to miss,
rose to a five point lead in the
overtime period, only to lose the
lead and the game in the closing
seconds.
Mercer, certainly the game’s out
standing player, scored 28 points
in the contest, closely followed by
the ever dependable Malcom Lawler
and speedy Elliot Craig with If
points.
High point man for the Cubs was
Wendell Cason, who scored 20
points.
Friday night will see the varsity
five face Southern Methodist in
White Coliseum.
