The Battalion College Station (Brazos County), Texas Tuesday, February 3, 1959 PAGE 3 Sagging Ag Five Faces TCU In Crucial SWC Tilt Tonight By BOB WEEK LEY Battalion Sports Editor Coach Bob Rogers’ Aggies, sul- ieh after their 46-57 defeat by Texas Tech Saturday before a regional television audience, try to jump back into the winning col umn tonight when they tackle the high-flying Texas Christian Uni versity Horned Frogs in White Coliseum at 8 p.m. Coach Buster Brannon’s Frogs pace the Southwest Conference race with only one loss against tneir five wins. Only one game separates them from Bayior (5-2) and Texas Tech (4-2). TCU will hold a height advan tage over the Aggies as the all veteran Frog starters average 6-5. AcVM is near 6-4 with lanay \vayne Lawx-ence their tallest at 6-7. Kelly Chapman, the junior col lege All-American from Owens boro, Hy., will make his debut in the SYVU as he gams his eligibil ity in time to help the sagging Aggie offense. Chapman, who will probably re-:, place dim MciMichol in the A&iVi lineup, has tremendous spring in his legs, making him a top re- bounuer, and an amazing assort ment of shots that make him very hard to defend. Opposite Chapman at the other forward position will be Lawrence, while .Neil Swisher and Wilmer Cox will be at guard and Archie Carroll at center. Swisher, suffering from a pull ed muscle in his tnigh, has seen his Shooting average drop from best in the conference down to fifth place with slightly more than 15 points per game.

The Sports Wire By The Associated Press Wildcats Again Top Cage Poll College basketball’s leading teams ended their mid season lull and resumed the full time business of beating one another’s ears off last week. The results brought only one change in the top ten rankings, but led the experts to scatter their votes a bit more than usual. It was Kentucky on top again by a comfortable margin over North Carolina with the order of the leaders unchanged until seventh place was reached. St. John’s of Brooklyn dropped out of that spot after losing two games on a road trip. Michigan State and Bradley moved up to close the gap and St. Louis, winner over St. John’s, took over ninth place. ★ ★ ★ Kelley Resigns Post at Brown PROVIDENCE, R.

A Campus-to-Career Case History Bill Burns (far right) reviews a plan for expanding Syracuse’s toll-free calling area with some felloiv supervisors. He wanted more than just an engineering job' William G. Burns majored in Civil En gineering at Union College. But he had his own ideas about his engineering future. “I wanted a job with a ‘growth’ company,” he says, “where I could de velop and move ahead as a member of management.” Bill found his ‘growth’ company—and his management opportunity. On gradu ating in June, 1954, he started work with the New York Telephone Company, i' Six months of training and job assign ments in Albany familiarized him with die Plant, Commercial, Accounting and jTraffic functions of the telephone busi- jness. Then came 18 months as engineer in the Long Range Planning Group. In jOctober, 1956, he was promoted to Su pervising Engineer. Bill was transferred to Syracuse in August, 1958, as Supervising Engineer- Fundamental Plans, with a staff of four engineers and two clerks. In this job, he studies and forecasts the future tele phone needs of customers in a 4800- square-mile area, planning from three to 20 years ahead. He then co-ordinates the development of plans to meet future needs with the various engineering groups involved. Bill calls it “manage ment engineering.” Bill is married, has three youngsters and owns his own home. “A man has to build his own security,” he says, “and finding the right place to do it can be mighty important. Choosing a Bell Tele phone career was the best decision I ever made. I don’t know where an ambitious young fellow can find more or better chances to move ahead in management.” Many young men, with degrees in the sciences, arts, engi neering or business, are finding interesting and reward ing careers with the Bell Telephone Companies. Look into career opportunities for you. Talk with the Bell interviewer when he visits your campus. And read the Bell Telephone booklet on file in your Placement Office. ® BELL TELEPHONE COMPANIES Do Ybu Think for Yourself ?(■ ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS} AND YOU’LL FIND OUT!* / 1.
