I The Battalion College Station (Brazos County), Texas Friday, February 13, 1959 PAGH( 5 ' Carroll Leads Ags Scoring Senior Archie Carroll dominates A&M’s scoring statistics with a 15.6 average and 62 rebounds. Missouri’s Coach Devine \Given $130,000 Policy Ags Face Tech Here In Saturday Contest ST. LOUIS CflP) — University of (Missouri alumni are insuring (themselves against losing the foot- [ball coach at their alma mater. They gave Dan Devine a $150,- 000 life insui-ance policy, effec tive Thursday. It’s his as long as he remains coach at the univer sity. If he leaves the job voluntarily he forfeits all interest in the pol- licy. If he is fired, he retains the equity paid up in the policy at the time. It’s an idea borrowed straight j from big business. .Richard C. Co burn, an attorney spearheading the alumni move, says: “We knew some large business concerns make some sort of ar rangement as this to retain a young man they want to bring up to a position of responsibility in the company. So far as we know it never has been done before in the sports field.” The 34-year-old coach met in formally with a group of alumni Wednesday night to sign the nec essary papers. Devine and his wife have five children, the oldest 10-year-old twins, and are expecting a sixth. Coach Bob Rogers’ Aggies, their shaky hold on fifth place in the conference threatened by the Ar kansas Razorbacks, face the tough Texas Tech Red Raiders tomorrow night in White Coliseum at 8 p.m. There will not be a pi-eliminary freshman game. The Raiders, proud holders of a 6-3 Southwest Conference record and the second place position in conference standings, could be the team that breaks the Aggies for the season. For A&M it’s a case of everything to win and nothing to lose. * Coach Pdlk Robinson’s Raiders, supposedly hurt by the scholastic failures of his two tallest men. have been coming on with a late season surge that saw them win three straight games, one over the TCU Horned Frogs, before meeting that same Fi’og aggregation again and going down in defeat on their own home court. Forward Leon Hill has been one of the main reasons for the Raider success. All-SWC last season, the 6-6 senior is again leading his team in scoring and rebounding. Co-Captain Charlie Lynch, 6-2 senior from Sudan, has been one of the top defenders for the Lubbock five. Lynch could be compared to Kelly Chapman in his ability to clear the boards over much taller opponents. Gene Arrington, field goal per centage leader last season in the SWC and a 6-4 forward, is prob ably one of the top juniors in the Conference. Other stai'tei’s for the Raiders should be Gerald My ers, the 5-10 speedster from Bor- ger who ran wild against the Ca dets last season, and James Wiley, a 6-5 junior. Archie Carx-oll, 6-6 senior from Redlands, has begun his domina tion of the statistics for the Aggie squad in conference play. Carroll has scored 141 points for a 15.6 average. His .467 shooting aver age from the floor leads the Cadets in accuracy along with his 62 re bounds. Swishing Neil Swisher contin ues to be the steady player for the Cadets, scoring 135 points for an average of 15 per game. Swisher is shooting at a .420 clip from the floor and has scored on 41 of 48 free throw attempts. Wilmer Cox, the defensive ace for the Farmers, has pulled down some 44 rebounds to hold second position in that department for the Aggies. Cox has scored 81 points for an average of 9 per game. Jim McNichol, the big red-head who looks better in every confer ence game, has scored 54 points for an average of six points per game. McNichol has collected 40 rebounds and is the most accurate \g on the free throw line, tossing in 18 of 20 for a .900 percentage. Furgol Fires 62 In Tucson Open TUCSON, Ariz. (A>) _ Marty Furgol shot the best golf of his ife yesterday to lead the $15,000 Tuscon Open with an eight-under- par 62. The 41-year-old veteran from Lemont, 111., dropped long putts for eight birdies and blazed home with 31-31. The touring pros toyed with the 3,434-yard, par-70 El Rio course, almost half the field breaking par. Julius Boros, Mid Pines, N.C., was three strokes behind with 33- 32-65. Grouped at 66 were A1 Besse- link, Grossinger, N.Y.; Lloyd Man- grum, Apple Valley, Calif.; and Joe Jiminez, Manhattan, Kan. Furgol said he putted better Thursday than when he won the recent San Diego Open, his first tourney victory since 1954. At 67 were Jerry Barber, Los Angeles; Holly Johnson, San Mar- Calif.; Walter Burkemo, Franklin Hills, Mich.; and Joe Zakarian, Modesto, Calif. VOTE “NO” ON COLLEGE STATION STREET RONDS Do you want to be saddled with a needless debt of $350,000 on which you will pay not less than $167,000 in interest? The City Council spent endless hours considering street problems of College Station and de cided unanimously to adopt a wise and proven “pay-as-you-go” plan as against an unwise bond issue. Do you feel that you are on safe ground to vote against such a recommendation? Consider some of the statements to follow. Did you know that since adopting a plan last October the City has increased our city taxes by 50% and our water rates to provide an annual sum of not less than $45,000 for the City’s por tion of street construction? Did you know that this money is “going begging” or practically so. One project, 1500 feet on Lee seems imminent but this will take only $4,500 of City funds. Did you know that under the adopted plan it is possible that $270,000 worth of street con struction might be under way by the end of 1959 ? How much faster would you want to go ? If faster progress should be needed at times, a small, short term loan would be better than a long range bond issue.. Did you know that each year $45,000 of city funds with $90,000 from the property owners will build nearly three miles of curb and gutter s treets, if that type should be used exclusively, or will build 11 miles of streets without curbs and gutters. Are you one who thinks that Bond money will lessen your own assessed cost? If so, you are mistaken, it will be the same as with “pay-as-you-go.” Why not back your City Council and let them get on with street improvements under the October plan? Money paid as interest does not build streets. This agitation for a bond issue has held up action too long now. Stop it by a convincing “thumbs down” vote on Bonds, February 17th. Do not become complacent and lose interest. Rumors are afloat today to the effect that the issue will be decisively defeated 2 or 3 to 1. Do not be misled. The proponents of the bond issue are all going to vote. VOTE FEBRUARY 17th, and VOTE “NO” for the good of our fine Community. A Group of Interested Citizens With 6-7 Wayne Lawrence out of the picture for the Aggies with a broken foot, short Jack Collier has stepped in and done an outstand ing job. The 6-0 senior has scored 19 points in six games for a 3.1 points per game average. Collier is one of the three starters hitting over .400 per cent of his shots from the floor. He is probably the weakest Aggie on the free throw line, making only 5 of 12 for a .417 mark.

Wagner family oi Pedro, Ohio, participates in Ground Observer Corps airplane spotting. First Lt. George Kersey bailed out of his F86L jet fighter shortly before it exploded over Lawrence County, Ohio. Medical aid reached Kersey quickly because Mrs. F. B. Wagnei’, wife of an Observer Corps supervisor, spotted his falling plane and parachute and notified Air Force authorities. The lieutenant is recovering from neck injuries in an Air Force hos pital. FOOTBALL PROBLEM SARATOGA, Wyo. bP)—Even for a football coach Dennis Ragan has an odd problem. His Saratoga high school foot ball team opened its season with an impressive 39-13 victory over Midwest in an 11-man game. Then Ragan had to switch tactics and drill his squad for seven con ference games — playing 8-man football. Finally Saratoga winds up its season Oct. 31 against Walden, Colo., playing the conventional 11- man game again.
