Besides being on a competitive basis, By JOE CALLICOATTE Battalion Sports Editor The Aggie cagers saw what could have been a conference cham pionship flow down the gutter with the swiftness of the rain running off the, streets of the A&M campus last night as the SMU Mustangs handed them an 81-53 drubbing. Until midway in the first half of play the game could have been called a contest but after that the Cadets got colder and the Ponies got hotter. By the time the half rolled around the Ponies had built up a 20 point lead that was never seri ously challenged in the remainder of the contest. At the end of the first half the Ponies had doubled the Aggies’ shooting percentage by dropping Graduation Riddles Tigers By RUSSELL BROWN CHS Correspondent With 21 letters worth of exper ience lost by graduation of other wise, the pickings at A&M Consol idated High baseball-wise seem pretty slim, although Coaches Ed- sel Jones and Ed Logan welcomed 33 hopefuls Monday. The Tigers have only four re turning lettermen from the 1959 Tiger squad, which racked up their third straight district and bi-dis trict crowns before losing out in the last stanza to San Augustine in the I’egional finals. Gone are Edgar Feldman, Ag gie-turned-pro who pitched and hit the Bengals to a 16-6 season; Pete Rodriquez, slugging Tiger back stop; Bob Ross, lanky second- sacker; George Carroll and John COURT’S SHOES SHOE REPAIR North Gate Wayne Todd, fleet-footed outfield ers, all four year lettermen except Todd. Richard Storms, slugging soph outfielder who lettei-ed as a freshman, has gone to Louisiana while Richard Joyer, Tiger third baseman, is not out this year. Vic Clark, a 200 pound hurler, who had to play second best be hind Feldman last year is back to better his 6-3 won-lost count and his .86 earned run average. At first base Ben Jackson returns, a senior two-letterman, while Mike Denison, senior letterman and Kelly Parker, senior three-letter- man are back at second and shoi-t. Coach Jones stated that he will look over the crop of hopefuls be fore making his cut to the travel ing squad. Monday was the first formal day of practice and Jones had Clark, Johnny Williams, soph first year man, and Denison, who came through with two victories last season, on the mound. Jim Riggs, a junior, is out to give Jackson a run for his money; Russell Welch, and Sid Coufal have to beat Deni son at second while Bill Haley and Frank Hagler are running at third. John Pedigo, junior squadman, and Jimbo Carroll, freshman donned the catcher’s equipment for Jones’ ’eagle eye. Bob Laurenson, junior squadman should also see action behind the plate. Hitting seems to be the main factor in the Bengals’ chances, as the returnees have a combined av erage of .136 for last year’s work. If Jones and Logan -can groom a second line hurler behind Clark and get help from the remaining first year men, things may look up. But this year looks like the year for rebuilding another reg ional club for years to come. Aggies Stunned, 81-51, by Mustangs; TU, SMU Still Deadlocked for Lead through 45 per cent compared to the Ags ’21.9. Carroll Broussard and Don Stan ley were the hottest men on the Cadet team at halftime with eight points each, but in the last period of play Broussard only managed to score two counters. Stanley continued to hit fairly consistent and finished the game with 23 points to tie with SMU’s Max Williams for scoring honors for the night. Williams had a lot of team help in the victory as three other mem bers of the SMU team racked up enough points for the double figures'. Towering Steve Strange hit 18 points, Wilbur Marsh hit 10 and Jan Loudermilk tossed in 10. During the first half of play the S PORT SLANT By JOE CALLICOATTE S Baseball Umpires Get Sports Film The Brazos Valley Chapter o Baseball Umpires has recently ac quired from the Official Sports Film Service a film entitled “Base ball for Millions.” The film is narrated by a color ful big league manager and an outstanding student and covers the official interpretation of a pano rama of basic rules involving bat ting, pitching, base running and fielding. Schools, and other association’s use of the film, may secure full information from The Brazos Val ley Chapter of Baseball Umpires, 1003 Winding Road, College Sta tion, or call VI 6-7417, said O. E. Biggs, secretary of the organiza tion. Anyone who says there is nothing but dumb athletes living in the athletic dorms had better take another look because 13.athletes have been named Distinguished Students for the past fall semester. Nine freshmen honored include Don Deaver, trackMike Kerley,.track; George Bedford, track; Lee Walker, basket ball; Jerry Windham, basketball; Mike Leach, swimming; Walter LaGrone, football; Terry Pullin, football and Mike Roquemore, football. < Four varsity athletes who were distinguished .are Billy Matrindale, golf; Joe Munson, football; Randy Wortham, baseball and Tommy Smith, basketball. ( ★ ★ ★ Last Sunday night on the Bob'Rogers TV show Charley Thomas, Aggie track coach, gave the strong and weak points of this year’s team. In.discussing the high jumpers Thomas said “on a good day they can clear four feet”. Of course it was only a^slip of the tongue and he changed it to 6-4. ★ ★ ★ The Houston Oilers have announced the signing of Bobby Marks, former All-Southwest Conference performer for the Aggies. s Marks was a regular at A&M for three years and made the All-SWC team as a senior in 1957. He. was also voted Best Blocking Lineman by Aggie teammates at the end of his senior year. .He is resigning his assistant coaching post at nearby Nederland high school, where he assists Elwood Ketler. Cadets had a slight margin in re bounds but the Ponies were hitting at such an accurate clip that not too many rebounds came off their end of the court. The biggest margin that SMU ran up during the contest was 34 points that came about in the middle of the second half, however, the Pony coach, Doc Hayes, kept his regulars in the game until the closing minutes of the contest. Last night’s victory gave SMU tie with Texas who topped the Baylor Bears, 68-62, in Austin last night. Also it was -virtually the Aggies’ last chance to get even a share of the conference title. All the teams in the conference still have three games left to play with Texas facing the toughest schedule of the two leaders. The Longhorns have to travel to Ar kansas to meet the Razorbacks and will go to Fort Worth to try TCU. SMU only has one road trip and that is to Lubbock where they will meet Texas Tech. The Aggies still have to meet Baylor and Texas Tech away from home and TCU in College Station. SMU— Fg. Ft. Reb.FIs.Pts. Williams ....

(A 1 ) — It was one of those soft drink machines where you lift the lid and see the tops of all the trapped bottles. One coin permits one bottle to be pulled out. But vandals—thirsty ones—saved their money. Police answered a call and found the tops gone from 21 bottles of pop, and the bottles about half empty — apparently thanks to straws and determination.

Dear Dr. Frood: Recently I saw this slogan for Lucky Strike: “Remember how great cigarettes used to taste? Luckies still do.” I wonder if the Lucky Strike people realize there is a most seri ous obfuscation here. The modifier is awkward. Does “great” modify “taste”? Or does “great” modify “cigarettes”?
