Conference Jumbled As Hungry Ags
Topple High-Ranked Porkers, 66-57
“Pardon My Elbow!”
Harry Thompson, Razorback forward, gives Aggie soph
Wayne Lawrence the point of his elbow, while the bucket
gets filled with two more “points.” Free throws won it for
the Cadets, 66-57.
Cadets Journey To Lubbock
To Test Raiders Tonight
By GARY ROLLINS
What appeared to be a raging, ripping Razorback in the
hills of Arkansas turned out to be a docile Durock sow last
Saturday night as the unsung Texas Aggies butchered the
pitiless Porkers, in White Coliseum, 66-57.
And so, the lead that once belonged to the bristled ones
from the Ozarks has finally dwindled into infinity, leaving
not one—but three—teams perched on top of the throne that
is called the Southwest Conference.
Once again, a race that should have been “cut and dried”
has turned into the traditional turmoil it always assumes
near the end of the season.
The Aggies were paced by the scoring of Neil Swisher,
who laced the cords with 21 ♦
points. He was followed close
ly by Archie Carroll, who
biicketed 20. The high scorer
for the Porkers was Freddie
Grim, with 13 points.
Tonight, the potent Farmers
roam to Lubbock to test the actual
strength of the lied Raiders. Last
Saturday, the Tech five found
rough sledding in Dallas, where
the rude SMU Ponies continued
their home-court winning streak by
downing the Raiders, 66-56.
The SWC race now finds teams
“coming and going” from the top
slot. The Rice Owls, who were once
respected as a ball club wei - e
thoroughly man-handled by the
lanky TCU Horned Frogs as the
Froggies blasted the Owls 90-65
in the Houston team’s gym. Don
Suman’s wise birds now find their
conference chances meager indeed,
with only three games remaining.
Baylor, a team that was hiding
in the woods near Waco at the be
ginning of the season, has suddenly
come.-fpora.-Uie bushes to loom as
a great threat to other conference
opponents. After dropping nine
straight, the Bears have suddenly
hung the burden of defeat on three
teams in succession; Rice, Texas
Christian and Texas. Only two
games remain on their slate, with
Arkansas in Fayetteville and
against SMU on the home coui't at
Waco.
Southern Methodist is now
among the favored few, as they
are within range of the conference
loot. By virtue of their win over
Tech in Dallas, the Ponies have
but two remaining conquests to
make—against the Aggies and
Baylor—which could spell defeat
in either case.

“PRESCRIPTION SERVICE YOU WILL LIKE”
Product Development Engineer Gerald A. Maley, like
many other engineers, mathematicians and physicists,
came to IBM directly from college. Here he tells how
he put his E.E. degree to work in the exciting new field
of computer development.
What's it like to be with
IBM
’‘What really sold me,” says Gerald Maley, “was the
way they approach engineering at IBM. I had expected
rooms full of engineers at desks. Instead, I found all the
friendly informality of my college lab.”
An E.E., he came directly to IBM from the University
of Buffalo in 1953. Starting as a Technical Engineer,
he was immediately assigned to work, with two others,
on designing a small calculator. Jerry Maley learned
a great deal about computers in a very short time. Inci
dentally, this small calculator has gone into production.
“It makes an engineer feel good,” he says, “to see his
project reach the production stage—and to be able to
follow it through.”
Promoted to Associate Engineer after sixteen months,
he became the leader of a nine-man team, assigning
problems to his group for solution, approving their
block diagrams and the models they built. A short
while ago, he was again promoted — this time to
r Project Engineer. “A
particularly interesting
aspect of my present
job,” Jerry Maley says,
“is the further devel
opment of magnetic
cores — new memory
storage devices for elec
tronic digital compu
ters.” His administra
tive details have been
reduced to a minimum,
freeing him for creative
Assigning problem »o group member engineering work.
Perhaps an hour a day goes into paper work such as
requisitioning equipment for his group and reviewing
technical publications, in counseling members of his
team, and preparing for trips to technical society
meetings.
Why he chose IBM
Of course, there were many reasons why Jerry Maley
selected IBM. He was vitally interested in computers,
and IBM is a leader in computer technology. He comes
from a scientific family (his brother is a mathematician),
and is fascinated by these IBM mathematical marvels
which are revolutionizing ways of doing things in so
many fields. He enjoys working on large equipment...
and on “pulses.” “It’s more logical,” he says. “In com
puter work, you can actually see electronics at work.
And it’s not all solid math, either. What’s more, this
field is so new, you’re contributing along with every
body else in a short time.” He endorses the IBM
policy of promoting
from within, with merit
the sole criterion. The
salary factor, although
it was excellent, was
not Ms first employ
ment consideration, he
recalls. The tremen
dous advancement po
tential was of greater
importance.
Testing a new development
What about promotions?
When asked about advancement opportunities at IBM,
he says, “You can hardly miss in this field and in this
company. IBM sales have doubled, on the average,
every five years. Company expansion at this rate—
in a dynamic industry—
Bill
jy*
Reviewing technical publications
makes my future look
bright indeed.” Since
Jerry Maley came
with IBM in 1953,
career opportunities
at IBM are brighter
than ever, as all busi
ness, industry, science
and government turn
increasingly to auto
mation through elec
tronic computers.
This profile is just one example of what it’s like to be
with IBM. There are many other excellent opportuni
ties for well-qualified college men in Research, Devel
opment, Manufacturing, Sales and Applied Science.
Why not ask your College Placement Director when
IBM will next interview on your campus? Or, for in
formation about how your degree will fit you for an
IBM career, just write to:
