very much to plajf for the Hawks
next year if they wanted him, but

time sorting out his freshman baseball hopefuls.

speed, is majoring- in physical ed
ucation and biology, and hopes to
find a coaching post—providing he
doesn’t play for the Hawks.
Carroll, who led the Farmers in
both conference scox-ing and re
bounding last year, is in the pro
cess of repeating the feat this
year. He has hit 192 points in 12
loop outings for an average of 16.0
per game. His total paces Neil
Swisher, who set an Aggie scoring
record against Texas Monday, by
only six points. Can-oil is also the
Cadets’ top rebounder, gi-abbing 92
in conference play and 167 for the
year.
Over the season, Carroll has to
talled 324 points—second only to
Swisher’s 338—for an average of
14.7. In addition to being the Ags’
leading rebounder, he is hitting
at slightly better than 48 per cent
of his attempts from the floor
against confex-ence foes, while he
maintains a 46 per cent average
against the Farmers’ 22 opponents
this year.

at Redlands, Carroll is called “one
of those good folks” by Smokey
Harper—a rare accolade from the
Ag tx-ainer. And the 6-6 senior,
■who opex-ates from the post and
forward positions with nifty hook
shots with either hand, obtained
his nickname from the old comic
strip ‘Captain Marvel.” Just as
Billy Batson said “Shazam” and
there was Captain Marvel, Carroll,
with his deceptive' speed, seems to
be evei'ywhere at once.

With Archie Moore
SYRACUSE, N.Y. <A>)_Boxer
Carmen Basilic Wednesday entered
the Archie Moore sweepstakes.
The former welterweight and
middleweight champion said he
wants a crack at the light heavy
weight king, too.
“If Ray Robinson can fight
Moore, why can’t I?” Basilio asked
a reporter.
Robinson has been negotiating
with Jack “Doc” Kearns, Moore's
manager, for a light heavyweight
title fight.
Basilio has been clamoring for
a rubber -match with Robinson.

\ the difference... /A
..with the first full tank:
That’s what users say of Golden Esso Extra
gasoline . . . and truer words were never spoken!
Golden Esso Extra will improve the per
formance of any car in any price class.
It is a modern gasoline of highest octane
rating and exceptional purity, formulated with
special chemicals from Humble’s great Baytown
refinery. It gives superior anti-knock performance;
it burns cleaner than any other gasoline; it elimi
nates ‘‘backing” when you start and “rumble”
as you run; and it adds the power and response
that make driving safer and—yes, more fun! As
one Humble customer puts it, “Golden Esso Extra
wakes up your car!”
The cost is only pennies more than the cost
of gasoline in the middle-price range (about a
nickel a day on the average), and you get a divi
dend of improved performance on every mile you
travel. Any car in any price class.
See for yourself—fill up with Golden Esso
Extra under your neighbor’s Humble sign.
Every time!
