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

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.

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.

SLICK SIPPER
DECATUR, Ala. (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”?

yourself. Simply put a match to a Lucky

Dear Dr. Frood: For many months I
