Faces Track Team
Coach Charley Thomas •will begin
his third rebuilding season with the
Aggie track team next spring.
The Aggies placed sixth in the
varsity division and third in the
freshman meet of the SWC in Fort
Worth last May.
Thomas’ hopes for the future
rest on his freshman team of last
year plus a bevy of fine schoolboy
prospects he has lined up to begin
their frosh year at A&M this fall.
The Aggies have been strong in
the field events for several years
and short on running but with
Thomas, former All-America
sprinter at Texas, the Aggies are
expected to be back contending in
the races in the near future.
Two of the three first places
won by Aggies at the Conference
meeting were in the field events.
Co-Captain Owen Hill completed
his collegiate career with a first
place in the discus. He was the only
first place for the Aggie varsity. In
the frosh division Terry Robinson
won the discus and E. L. Ener
took the mile run.
Top men for the Aggies this
coming season include Sprinters
Ed Williams, Curt Roberts and
Gene Dornak; weight men James
Phillips, Charles Hoppe and Rob
inson; Paul Pirkle, Jerry Hopkins,
Herb Schroeder and Jim Brewer
in the javelin; Don Deavers, James
Daniels and Lewis Hamil, high
jump; and other runners such , as
Bobby Clark, Thad Crooks, Mal
colm Hardee, Thomas Johnston,
Bill Brashears, Ed Korenek, Mike
K6rley, Ken Patranella, Ken
Rippstein and George Tedford.

The Southwest Conference was
organized in 1914 with the first
title awarded in 1915. Following
are the titles each school has won:
Texas

*—Fractions are for sharing
conference, both 2-way
and 3-way ties.
**—Texas Tech plays for
championship first time
in 1960.
Bright spot is the fact that the
Aggies lost but one member of
the defending conference cham
pions and get added help from a
trio of fine freshman prospects.
A1 Jones Jr. of Harlingen, cap
tain of the 1960 squad and whose
seven-under-par 61 is a new A&M
course record, is the only member
of last spring’s team who will not
be around next year.
Returning are the two sopho
mores who shared individual hon
ors in the Southwest Conference
with Terry Dill of Texas—Dickie
Duble of Galveston and John Live
ly Jr. of Athens. Duble and
Lively of the Aggies and Dill of
the Longhorns finished in a 3-
way tie for the individual cham
pionship at Fort Worth last May.
Others returning are Billy Mar-
tindale, Jacksonville, who will be
the only senior on the 1960-61
team and Sophomore Johnny John
son of Harlingen.
Leading contenders up from the
Fish team are Harry Hoskins of
Fort Worth, Ralph Johnston of
New York City and Eugene Byrd
of Stephenville.

Dual Filter i
does it!
HERE’S HOW THE DUAL FILTER DOES IT:
1. It combines a unique inner filter of ACTIVATED CHARCOAL...
definitely proved to make the taste of a cigarette mild and smooth...
2. with a pure white outer filter. Together they select and balance
the flavor elements in the smoke. Tareyton’s flavor-balance gives
you the best taste of the best tobaccos.

Rundown on Aggie Opponents
The following is rundown on
the teams the Aggie football team
will face this season:
LSU
Sept. 17 at Baton Rouge
With 21 lettermen gone from
the powerhouse Tiger team of the
past two seasons, Coach Dietzel
faces a rebuilding job for 1960
but has 14 lettermen back includ
ing such top stars as End Mickey
Mangham, second team All-Amer
ica last year; Center Bo Strange,
Fullback Donnie Daye and Guard
Roy Winston. The Tigers, No. 1
team in the nation in 1958, lost
by one point to Tennessee last fall
and lost a grudge game rematch
Intramurals, which are a big
part of campus activity at A&M,
are set up on a competitive basis
between Air Force squadrons,
Army outfits and Civilian teams
under three classes.
The three are class “A” for
Corps upperclassmen, class “B”
for Corps freshmen and class “C”
for civilian teams. This is all
under the direction of Barney
Welch, former A&M football star,
and his staff of student intra
mural managers.
“The main outcome of this pro
gram is students being able to let
off steam,” said Welch.
The managers referee, umpire
and control all intramural sports.
They do most of the actual field
work and are awarded a sweater
at the end of the year. They see
that all rules are obeyed, all games
are run without mishap and com
pute each outfit's scores.

Trinity University
Oct. 1 at San Antonio
Trinity and A&M meet for the
first time since the 1951 season
this fall in the Alamo City. Coach
Rule books are passed out to
each outfit.
The outfits and dorms appoint
their own intramural officer who
is usually a senior. It is the job
of the officer to appoint the teams
and see that they get practice and
know which days they play. The
officer has assistants to help in
this work.
All during the school year there
are all forms of sports. There are
the 15 regular intramural sports.
Also there are the open sports
which outfits may receive extra
points for winning.
Each outfit is required to enter
at least 10 of the regular sports.
At the end of the year points are
compiled and awards are given to
the winners of each class.
The sports that can be entered
are swimming, wrestling, golf,
horseshoes, handball, softball,
bowling, rifle, tennis, track, cross
country, football, ping pong, bas
ketball, vollqyball, open tennis, op
en golf, open handball and open
badminton.
Each outfit receives 50 points
for each regular sports it has en
tered. Extra points are given for
winning the finals. For winning
league a team receives ten points,
five for reaching finals and ten
for winning finals.
For every game that is for
feited an outfit is docked 50 points.
Thus at the end of the year the
outfit with the most points is
awarded the year’s Intramural
Flag, to be carried at Corps re
views.
