Therefore, this will be the first of a series of articles featuring some of its interesting and out standing members. By far, the most prominent per son connected with our committee is our good friend and faculty advicor, Mr. Marvin H. Butler, commonly known to most commit teemen as “Pro.” Mr. Butler, As sistant Professor of Economics, received his BA degree in 1940 from McKendree College in Illin ois. After serving four years in the Army, he went ont to obtain his MS degree from the University of Illinois in 1948, at which time he came to A&M where he has been teaching ever since. Among his many activities at present he holds the rank of Major in the Army re serves, is carrying a 191 average in the Classic League in Bi'yan and is working on his PhD. here at A&M. Over and above his current re sponsibilities, he is now s'erving as our advisor for his eleventh year. During this time, he has watched us grow from a sparce number of 17 to the present 125. Meanwhile, | he has been elected President of the Bryan-College Station Bowl ing Association three times and has served on the board of directors the remaining years. Last year, he was presented the highest award available by the M. S. C., that of an Achievement Award for truly outstanding service. However, he shyly admits that this thrill is second to the one he gets from watching the Match Team. The Bowling Committee is proud to have Mr. Butler as our advisor now and in the years to come, for one who has so tirelessly served us would be impossible lio replace. By LARRY SMITH One of the steadiest players on the Aggie team this season is short, squatty, senior left guard Wayne Labar, Wayne, who stands a full 5-914 and weighs 200 pounds played one of his best games of his fruitful career in the Aggies spirited tie with the TCU Horned Frogs. HS Fullback A fullback in high school, in the valley town of Harlingen, Wayne came to the Aggies at this position. In his sophomore year he was moved to guard and later on shift ed to blocking back in Coach Jim Myers’ once used single wing. La bar relates that “I kind of liked blocking back, and even caught a few passes.” Through the Aggies first seven games, Wayne has started at the guard position and his No. 60 jer sey is constantly coming up from the bottom of the pile. One of the shortest me|n of the team, Wayne is always having height measurements with another Wayne — Wayne Freiling. Labar laughs, “We still haven’t decided on who is the tallest, one day I’ll take the honors and the next, he will.” Three Year Letterman One of the seven three year let- termen on the squad this fall, Wayne could not decide between offense and defense, “I just guess I like them both about equally,” he said. Wayne, whose nickname is Leep- er, is an education major and also one of many married players on the Aggie team. He and his pret ty brunette wife, Janice were mar ried last December. Runs Like Duck Labar, with his very short legs, has one of the most unique run ning styles on the Aggie squad. When running to and from the bench during a game, he looks similar to a little duck waddling to the sidelines for a breather. Only teammate Babe Craig can compare with Wayne and his running style. A person can tell by talking to Wayne that the Aggies have real ly been fighting this season.’ The scratches on his face show signs of tough battle in the middle of the line. With only three more games in his collegiate career, Wayne noted that ‘LI would like to wind up my football palying with a victory over those Texas Longhorns.” Dallas, Fort Sortli Won’t Seek flajor League Fran liise By The Associate Press FORT WORTH—Ojers of the Dallas-Fort Worth frathise in the American Association’’uesday an nounced they no long 1 will seek a major league berth .nd will get entirely out of basebs if a satis factory purchases oftheir prop erties comes forwarj Rebuffed in their forts to get into the American .eague last week, J.
