Aggies Try Improved Baylor
In Third SWC Outing Tonight
The Aggie basketball team,
seeking revenge for their 70-G5
loss to the Rice Owls, travel to
Waco tonight for their third
Southwest Conference game of
the season—this time against the
Baylor Bears.
Baylor, as compared to last
lear’s poor showing in the SWC,
is the most improved team in the
conference. This year the Bears
know what they want to do and
do it.
The Bears play a deliberate
brand of ball, seeking to shoot
a man into a opening and then
let the athlete do what comes nat
urally—make points.
This Baylor team that takes to
the hardwood floors tonight is
its best in five yeark. They are
a team that could be a top con
tender for the SWC crown with
a break or two.
At forward for the Grizzlies
will be team captain Gene Mc-
Carley along with Carroll Daw
son, one of the top set shot art-

Ag Soccer Squad
Captures Crown
The A&M Soccer team, having
won five games, cinched the
league title. There is one game re
maining for the Aggies, but the
outcome will not endanger their
title hold. Last year A&M won
the title and went to the state
championship in Dallas.
This year’s team is composed of
Ernesto Alverey, who is team cap
tain, Guamro, Buentello, Duam,
and four freshmen. The coach is
Paul M. Andrews of the Physical
Education department.
The league is composed of semi-
pro teams from Houston and Dal
las, three service teams from San
Antonio, and teams from several
Southwest Conference schools.

CINCINNATI—Delegates to the National Collegiate
Athletic Assn, convention Thursday held a long discussion
of a national “letter of intent” system of signing athletes
who receive financial aid in getting through college.
The only result was a strong indication that the idea
is gaining favor, but there still are so many details to be
ironed out that it isn’t likely to be adopted on a national basis
for some time.

Gridders Named
For Scholastics
DALLAS — Students of engi
neering and science, recognized
as two of the most difficult fields
in the college curriculum, domi
nate the sixth annual All-Scho
lastic Southwest Conference
Football Team, announced here
today by editors of the American
Peoples Encyclopedia.
Members of the 1958 All-Scho
lastic team were selected by vet
eran conference football observers
on the basis of their gridiron abil
ity as well as their scholastic
standings. To qualify for the
squad, each player must have a
“B” or better average for the
current grading period.
Three of five seniors on the
honor list led their teammates on
the football field as well as in
the classroom as Tom Koenig of
SMU, guard; Dale Walker of
TCU, center, and Raymond Chil
ton of Rice, back, all served as
football captains.
Other seniors on the team are
Billy Dunn, SMU quarterback who
directed the Mustangs to import
ant inter-sectional victories over
Missouri and Georgia Tech, and
Billy Gilbow, University of Ark
ansas guard who was voted his
school’s homecoming award for
his stellar performance against
SMU.
The five juniors on the team
are Maurice Doke of Texas and
Albert Witcher of Baylor, ends;
Jerry Muennink of Texas, tackle;
and Charles Milstead of A&M and
James Monroe of Arkansas, backs.
Witcher ranked third in the
conference in pass receiving with
23 for 268 yards and Doke, a
defensive marvel, played an im
portant role in his team’s victor
ies over the Oklahoma Soone.rs
and the Texas Aggies. Doke’s pass
interception and 46-yard return
was credited with saving the Bay
lor game for the Longhorns.
Scholastically the team is led
by Dunn and Witcher. Dunn, who
is majoring in English at SMU,
had a straight A record last sem
ester, and Witcher, a geology maj
or at Baylor, has a similar record.
Captain Walker of TCU had four
A’s and one B last semester. Mil-
stead has been classified as a
distinguished student at A&M,
and Chilton made the Dean’s Hon
or List at Rice. Doke is on the
summa cum laude honor roll at
Texas.

Many a girl would rather walk home than
do without Camels. For the 10th straight
year, this cigarette outsells every other —
every filter, every king-size, every regular.
The Camel blend of costly tobaccos has
never been equalled for rich flavor and
easygoing mildness. Today as always, the
best tobacco makes the best smoke.
Don't give in to fads and fancy stuff...
