Smith is called “one of the most improved members of the team” by Coach Bob Rogers. S PORT SLANT By BOB WEEKLEY S The Daily Texan, school paper of Texas University, finally realized that the Aggies have a school spirit that extends down to the younger ranks. This comment, stolen from The Texan’s commentary of the A&M-Texas basketball game, points out how de moralizing the Cadet spirit can be. “Nothing took the spirit of the Longhorn fans so quick ly as the sight of kids (maybe they didn’t know better) wearing miniature Aggie Uniforms.” The parenthesis and the comment on the young Aggies’ spirit was included in the story by The Texan. ★ ★ ★ Phillip Peter, one of Houston’s outstanding backs, has signed a football letter of intent with Texas A&M and will enroll at the college for the spring semester. Coach Jim Myers of A&M signed the former Austin prep star to a letter of intent. Peter is 6-2 and weighs 190 pounds. Paul Brookshire, Sports Editor of the Bryan Daily Eagle, had this small story in his Sports Scripts column that is too good not to reprint in The Battalion. “A Red Shirt banquet, first in A&M history, was held recently honoring 17 members of the Aggie football team that served as clay pigeons for the varsity day after day. “Letters” presented the squad, coached by Capt. Joe Bennett, were in the form of a white “A” sewed on a red T shirt. The, Red Shirts even chose an “All Opponent Team.” Ends selected were Russell Hill and Richard Love; Tackles Bill Godwin and. Gale Oliver; Guards Wayne Labar and Wayne Freiling; Center Larry Broaddus; and Backs Powell Berry, Eddie Van Dyke, Randy Sims and Gordon Leboeuf. Members of the squad were Sidney Bergoon, Herb Cam bell, Darrel Dean, Gary Finch, Franklin Fisher, Alfred Gloek- zin, Marvin Hayes, John Hitt, Calvin .Tanner, Aubrey Kelley, Ben Lester* Bob Carroll Lindley, Johnny Marrou, Tom Moore, Dave Powitzky, Charles Sandford, Larry Smith and Marshall Richard.” SEE THE COURT’S OLYMPIA Typewriter Before You Buy SHOES SHOE REPAIR Otis McDonald’s Bryan Business North Gate Machines Rogers Delivers Ags From Cage Depression Bob Rogers started his career at Ag-gieland with a losing season in 1958, that is a losing season according to Rogers, but a win ner for the Aggies.

However, this habit is a good one .... winning. Before the season Coach Shelby Metcalf was a little skeptical of the Fish. He said that the Fish would have to depend strongly on their speed and defense to match last year’s record of seven wins and five losses. With eight games behind them the Fish have won six and have four more left to better last year’s record. In the four games remaining, the Fish have beaten all the op ponents except one, the TCU Wogs.

Since that time Windham has come back into the lineup and Minor’s replacements have been doing a more than adequate job. three points. One thing that has contributed greatly to Rogers’ cage team is the junior colleges transfers that have flocked to Aggieland since his arrival. The first of these was Archie Carroll of Lon Morris who was sixth high scorer in the confer ence last year. Last year two more top JC cagers arrived on the campus in the person of Wilmer Cox of Kil gore, who made All-Conference, and Kelly Chapman of Tyler. Junior college contributions to the 1960 team are Wayne Annette of Paris and the Stanley twins, Pat and Don from Kilgore. All five of the transfers have served Coach Rogers well thus far this year, not to speak of their value for the rest of this season and in the future.

These hands might have played faultlessly the most diffi cult concerto. These hands might have mixed a compound that would destroy disease. These hands might have been raised in bless ing over a trusting mankind. Instead they are chained. Somewhere, somehow, they failed. Perhaps they reached over a counter and stealthily snatched a jewel. Perhaps they searched a safe and took what other hands had worked for. Perhaps they held the gun that wiped out a life. Somewhere they went wrong. Somewhere they failed. Hands do not act by themselves. Person alities control them—personalities swayed by impulses and convictions, good and bad. The Church, your Church, is waiting to guide hands, minds, hearts and lives. Here good impulses, right convictions are born and nurtured. Here, in God’s House, hands learn to move aright to find life’s work, unchained and triumphant. Copyright I960, Keister Ah’. Sen-ice, Strasburg, Va. THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . . ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is the greatest factor on earth for the building of character and good citizenship. It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the Church. They are: (I) For his own sake. (2) For his children's sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moraf and material support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily.
