Ags Take On SMU Tankers
In Conference Preview Meet
Cadet Tankers Prepare
Members of Coach Art Adamson’s fine for the coming 1 meet with conference-favo-
swimming squad are shown sharpening up rite Southern Methodist this Friday.
Venturi Favored In Classic
Ken Venturi, the lone double-win
ner on the winter tour, and two
hometown idols, Jimmy Demaret
and Jack Burke Jr., are the top
favorites today for copping the
$30,000 Houston Classic Golf Tour
nament.
Venturi, winner of the Palm
Springs Thunderbird and the Phoe
nix Open, has had sub-par scores
while inspecting the Memorial Park
Course, longest on the winter tour,
since arriving here last Friday.
Demaret and Burke have been play
ing the 7,200-yard, par 72 layout
for years.
Ranked behind the three favor
ites are Arnold Palmer, the de
fending champion, and another
hometown product, Dave Marr.
Palmer won $7,500 here a year
ago with a 72-hole 279, nine under
par. Marr, the leader through 54
holes in last week’s Texas Open
at San Antonio, studied golf sev
eral years under Robie Williams,
the head pro at Memorial, before
turning professional five years ago.
Others drawing high rankings
by the oddsmakers included Rob-

Dick Mayer, National Open
champion and golf’s leading money
last year, was missing yesterday
as a field of 134 players took final
practice rounds. Tournament offi
cials, however, were still hopeful
Mayer would report before the first
threesome had moved out this
morning.
THROWN FOR A LOSS
OKLAHOMA CITY (A’)—Every
thing except the locale resembled
a football game when a 16-year-old
Fort Worth, Tex., youth snatched
a woman’s purse.
Police said he tucked the purse
under his arm and started running.
Three men threw flying tackles at
the youth as he passed, knocking
him down. Then they sat on the
squirming suspect until the police
arrived.

Coach Art Adamson’s swimmers,
unbeaten in three matches to date,
play host to the double-tough SMU
tankmen Friday at 4 p. m. in what
may prove to be a preview of the
’58 Southwest Conference champ
ions.
The Mustangs, ’57 champions,
have already taken on the Aggies
once in the SWC Relays in Decem
ber, squeezing past the second
place Cadets 116 points to 110.
Tetsuo Okamoto, the All-Ameri
can swimmer from Sao . Paulo,
Brazil, will lead the Farmers in
their bid for an upset over the
Ponies.
The stocky Brazilian captured
three first places and set one new
record to lead the Aggies’ drive
for second place in the 27th annual
SWC swimming championship at
Houston last year. Okamoto has
received an All-American swim
mer nomination for two consecu
tive years.
Depth, or rather the lack of it,
is the big problem Adamson faces
in trying to build a championship
team. That was the problem the
team faced last year, and it hasn’t
improved since then. Only four
men are returning from the team
that placed runner-ups to the
champion Mustangs.
Besides Okamoto, there will be
Charles Cook, backstroke ace from
Dallas; Jerry Mount, freestyle and
breastroke man from San Antonio;
and Walter “Dubby” Godfrey,
diver from Brownsville.
Orlando Cossani heads the- list
of those swimmers up from the
freshman team. This season, the
young swimmer has posted the
time of 1:02.5 in the 100 yard but
terfly event, a time that would
have won first place in conference
competition last year.
Adamson also expects Nick
Kuich, sophomore from Houston,
to provide the team with much-
needed depth.
The Aggies will take on the Tech
Red Raiders Saturday afternoon
in P. L. Downs Natatorium for one
of the easier contests the Cadets
have faced this year.
The Raiders aren’t expected to
display much this season, but since
they did not compete in the Decem
ber tournament they will be some
thing of an unknown quality.
INTRAMURALS
Puryear won the class C foot
ball championship yesterday by de
feating Dorm 16 in the dreary
weather and on a water-soaked
field by a close score of 6-0.
It was a game highlighted by
good defensive play as neither of
fense could seem to click in the
humid 40-degree weather.
The play that spelled the differ
ence in the game was a 60-yard
pass play from Pete McKinney to
Richard Peacock. After that well-
executed play, the scoring was
over for the day and Puryear walk
ed away with the victory.
Squadron 1 defeated Squadron
14 in class A handball by a narrow
margin, 2-1. Ronald Ruth and Ben
Williams won the first match for
Squadron 1 and Ray Morris and
Robert Brown won the second. A1
Zambrano and Hubert Oxford were
the winners for Squadron 14.
Squadron 1 is now tied with
three other teems for the lead in
class A handball.
“B” Infantry defeated “A” Ord
nance in class B volleyball, 2-0. The
members of the winning team were
Pat' Henry, Jake Avant, Mickey
Burke, John Meyer, Ralph Christ,
and Gordon Montgomery.
“A” AAA defeated Squadron 5
by the same score, 2-0. Norman
Ayers, Sebrow, Richard Hoff, Ross
Leidy, Pat Wright, and James Wy
lie were members of the winning
team.
“A” Chemical squeezed by “B”
FA by a score of 2-1. The mem
bers of the winning team were Rob
ert Isaacs, Paul Lokey, James
Klehm, Ellis Waller, William
Crockett, and James Jackson.
“C” Engineers defeated “B” Ar
mor, 2-0. The winning team was
composed of Marty Herzik, Mickey
Crawford, Emil Pawlik, Pete Ha
mel, Ralph Hendricks, and John
Pogue.
Squadron 20 edged White Band
by a score of 2-0. Charles Davi-
doff, George Hamilton, Edward
Gregg, Jack Burns, Charles Cole,
and Jesse Pate were the winners.
In other games, “B” Composite
edged “A” Signal in a close one by
a score of 2-1. “C” FA defeated
Squadron 7, 2-0, and “A” FA de
feated Squadron 18 by the same
score, 2-0.
More wrestling took place last
night. The sweating in the cold
gym was evidence enough of the
spirit of the grapplers.
