Steer Coach Lauds Ag Fans Coach Harold Bradley of Uni versity praised the treatment his basketball team received at Texas A&M Friday night and said he thought the capacity crowd of 8,500 “reacted in a wholesome well-behaved way.” “I heard about the bad things that would happen at your place,” Bradley wrote Coach Jim Myers, “and I imagine in the past these things did come to pass.” But Bradley went on to say that he and the Longhorn basketball team were well treated, on their trip to A&M Friday.’i \>~ A&M basketball coach Bob Rog ers, who received a copy of Brad ley’s letter, said he wanted to take this occasion to thank the fans for their “support and behavior” at Aggie games. “We think it is a good thing when fans can appreciate a good athlete or a good play regardless of the team he’s on,” Rogers said. Rogers pointed out a spectacular play made by SMU’s Max Williams last Tuesday night which the Ca det Corps cheered. “There. ii& one. .-thing I would like to suggest further,” Rogers said. “We should be able to hear All Long Play Records 1.00 All 45 Albums Va Of Price RECORD SALE Shaffer’s Book Store a pin drop in the coliseum when either team is shooting free throws.” “We still want our fans to hol ler as loud as ever during the game but remain quiet when a player is shooting free ones,” he added.

Longhorns in A&M’s 84-74 victory in the Southwest Conference Tour nament. The win sent A&M into a four way tie for first in the league, along with Texas, SMU and Ar kansas. It was Texas’ first con ference loss and their fourth of the season, two of them to the Aggies. Tonight the Farmers journey down Houston way to tangle with the luckless Rice Owls, who have yet to post a conference win, and only three over regular season play. Rice gave Texas a bad scare in their conference game, being downed by only 2 points in the fi nal seconds of the game. Broussard’s 29 point perform ance sent him into second place in conference scoring, with a 17.2 per game average, and 28 behind leader Clyde Rhoden of Arkansas who is averaging 24.2 points per game. Broussard had scored only 4 points against SMU last Mon day. Rice has a top scorer in Senior David Craig, who is fourth in the conference in season scoring with a total of 236 points, an 18.1 point per game average. Sophomore Mike Maroney is making a scoring splash in the conference for Rice, averaging a little more than 13 points per game. Maroney is a 6-7 eager from Austin, and holds down the center slot. Texas only managed to lead the Aggies twice in their Friday night game, and both came within the first two minutes of the game. Jay Arnette made the first point in the contest, a free throw to give Texas a 1-0 lead, and seconds later Donnie Lassiter hit a jump shot for a 3-2 lead. Broussard and Kelly Chapman teamed up then for a quick 17 point burst that gave the Aggies a nine point lead, and they coasted into the halftime with a 35-32 margin. Broussard finished the first period with 17 points. A&M was cool from the floor in that first half, hitting 10 of 31 shots for a 32.3 shooting percent age while the Steers were hitting 14 of 24 for a 58.3 percentage, but Aggie free throws were the differ ence. The Ags jumped into a 10 point Jim Myers Praised By Former Students Coach Jim Myers was given a pat on the back Sunday by Club officers and Class Agents of the Association of Former Students. The unanimous action came in the form of a resolution. The former students group passed a resolution of thanks and appreciation to Myers, who also is athletic director, and to his coaching staff for their service to the College during the past year. The Association of Former Stu dents held its fourteenth annual Club Officers Conference in Col lege Station over the weekend. lead early in the second period, and at one time held a 13 point margin before Texas could close the gap. The Ags hit 57.1 per cent of their shots in the second half. Chapman was runnerup in the A&M scoring column with 11 points, trailed by Wayne Annett with 10. Pat Stanley, guarding the high scoring Arnette, netted 4 points but held Arnette to 12 and eventually caused him to foul out.

There’s a message for you in Mark Doliard’s progress story Mark C. Dollard earned his B.A. degree in English from Yale University in June, 1955. He joined the New York Telephone Company the following July 18th. Three and a half years later, he became a Dis trict Manager for the company in New York City—with a staff of 87 people re porting to him and responsibility for 49,000 customer accounts. Mark’s choice of a telephone career came after numerous job interviews in a variety of business fields. “What sold me,” he says, “was the telephone company’s repu tation for solid managerial training, sta bility and growth. And I was impressed by the high caliber of people I met during my visit to the company.” And those are the things to which Mark credits his rapid advancement. His train ing during his fir^t two years covered a wide range of activities . . . including the handling of customer contacts in the business office, selling communications services to businessmen and supervising a business office. “It was the company’s vigorous growth that created the opportunity for me to be come District Manager in January, 1959,” Mark points out. “What I like most about my present posi tion is the variety of managerial responsi bilities I have,” he says. “It’s interesting, stimulating work. I deal with sales and marketing programs, handle personnel problems and make a lot of public rela tions contacts.” * * * The message for you?
