THE BATTALION SPORTS Page 4 College Station, Texas Wednesday, March 2, 1900 Old Pros Comment On Future Success By MIKE RATHET Associated Press Sports Writer Ted Williams and Stan Musial, venerable members of baseball’s Old Guard, view their chances of making successful comebacks with strikingly different attitudes. Williams, 41-year-old Boston Red Sox slugger, is pessimistic about the future. Musial, 39, a mainstay with the St. Louis Cardinals, is extremely optimistic. Williams, whose aching neck is bidding for a spot alongside Babe Ruth’s upset stomach on the list Sports Calendar This is a new wrinkle in the Battalion sports page to give everyone a chance to know what will be on tab in Aggie athletics for a few days in advance.

Kuabiwl tut U* ESTERBROOK PENS May Be Purchased THE EXCHANGE STORE “Serving Texas Aggies” of baseball’s aggravating ailments, repmted to spring training Tues day and predicted his career may be at an end. “There is considerable doubt that I can play,” said the six-time American League batting cham pion. The neck ailment, suffered in spring training in 1959 when Wil liams pinched a nerve, handicapped the big slugger last season and his hatting average dwindled to .254. The Red Sox already have lost hard-hitting Jackie Jensen, the league’s most valuable player in 1958. He quit baseball to devote more time to his family. But the story was quite different in the Cardinal camp where Musial showed up in tip-top condition aft er winter exercises that trimmed an inch from his waistline. Stan The Man, who slipped to .255 during the 1959 campaign, had these encouraging words for Manager Solly Hemus. “I feel better, stronger and be lieve I can get around on the ball better.” With the tempo picking up at the various training camps, the list of holdouts continued to dwindle. The New York Yankees, with Mickey Mantle their biggest head ache, cut the number of dissatis fied players to five by signing out fielders Roger Maris and Hector Lopez and first baseman Kent Hadley. The Detroit Tigers lured pitcher Frank Lary, 17-10 last season, into the fold with a contract call ing for a reported $20,000. Baltimore signed outfielder Al- bie Pearson, Washington received a contract from rookie second baseman John Schaive and the Chicago White Sox reported pitch ers Turk Lown and Stover Mcll- wain in the fold. Aggie Sharpshooters The A&M Smallbore Rifle Team competed in the Fourth U. S. Army ROTC Smallbore Tournament held at Fort Hood last Satur day. Members of the team were, sitting, Sgt. Phillip Retherford, team coach; A. B. Brothers, Larry L. Reeves, Robert A. Wit cher and James H. Elder. Standing are E. P. Lewis, J. M. Wilkerson, R. D. Whitting ton, Jim W. Hillin and F. H. Laudermilk. INTRAMURALS Weather is having its effect on intramural athletics just as it is on the varsity sports. So far during the past several days no tennis matches have been played, but volleyball and intra mural rifles have been carrying the intramural load. Even though the range gets a little drafty at times the class B rifle leagues have managed to shoot enough matches to get down to the final rounds. The final rounds will continue through today and tomorrow. Since volleyball has been moved inside this year and the cancela tion rate is down for the matches. Yesterday in class A volleyball Sq. 2 downed Co. H-2, White Band defeated Co. E-2, Co. ,G-2 beat Sq, 1, Co. A-l topped Co. A-2 and Sq. 3 bested Sq. 14. In class C competition Puryear stopped Bizzell, Milner halted Walton and Pan American topped Hart. Today class A-C tennis and vol leyball are on the slate, but if the cold and rain continues the tennis matches will probably be called off again today. If the weather ever decides to let up for awhile the tennis matches will be rescheduled along with cross-country which had to be postponed twice because of the weather. All games have been called off for Friday because of a practice review in the afternoon and Town Hall on Friday night. Aggie Pistol Team Defeats Air Force In Saturday Match The A&M Pistol Team defeated the Air Force Academy Pistol Team by a score of 1,381 points to 1,344 in a contest held here Feb. 27.

Lucky Strike’s Dr. Frood is asked K V Wvt** \k ' 4 , }} ^ Why Are Today’s Students More Serious, Dedicated, Industrious? Dear Dr. Frood: In your day, college students were all rah-rah and raccoon coats. Today’s student is more respon sible, more dedicated, more industrious. What accounts for this big change? Studious Dear Sfu: Today’s world is more com plex, more challenging. Ideologies clash. Our planet grows smaller. The cold war strikes fear into our hearts. There is a shortage of raccoons. Dear Dr. Frood: I am disgusted with my classmates. All they think about is women and parties. How can I get them to talk about important things? Serious Dear Serious: Throw a large party. Invite plenty of women. Then, around midnight, say something important, like “We’re out of beer.” Dear Dr. Frood: Modem girls go to college for four years. Then they get married and don’t even know how to change diapers. What is this leading to? Old-Fashioned Dear Old-Fashioned: Self-sufficient babies. r-}." ...I&a ©4Ljyc» Dear Dr. Frood: Why doesn’t every body smoke Lucky Strike? Lucky Sinoker Dear Lucky: Why doesn’t everybody get straight “A’s”? Dear Dr. Frood: Grandfather’s will pro vided a rather handsome allowance on the stipulation that I showed “the cour age and strength of character” to stay in college. Frankly, however, I am tired of college. I have been here 40 years. Is there any way I can quit and still collect? Senior Dear Senior: Your question brings up a considerable number of legal problems, with interesting technical ramifications. Having given the matter much thought, I have this suggestion: enter Law School. Dear Dr. Frood: Here are two portraits of Beethoven. One was done by an old master. The other by a student. Which is the masterpiece? Art Lover Dear Art: The one on the left is tl master’s work. The stroke is deft, clea authoritative. Every detail is authent Beethoven, even the gesture of keepii his composing hand warm. Dear Dr. Frood: Has college ever really helped anyone in business? Practical Dear Practical: Of course. Think how college has helped the people who make pennants, footballs, fraternity pins. COLLEGE STUDENTS SMOKE MORE LUCKIES THAN ANY OTHER REGULAR! When it comes to choosing their regular smoke, college students head right for fine tobacco! Result: Lucky Strike tops every other regular TOBACCO AND TASTE TOO FINE TO FILTER!
