THE BATTALION CADET SLOUCH
TEENAGE BASEBALL LEAGUE
A United Fund Benefactor:
CS Recreation Council
By TOMMY HOLBEIN
Among agencies receiving aid
from the College Station United
Fund Drive will be the College
Station Recreation. Council, with
an increased budget caused by
the proposed formation of the
College Station Teenage Baseball
League.
The Council has sponsored
programs in the community un-
matchable in others the same
size of College Station, all of
which have been great successes.
During 1960, there were 2,000
people who participated in the
Council’s 14 programs, which in
cluded adult softball, archery,
baseball in little leagues, bowl
ing, golf, teen dances and tennis,
among others.
Ejjich activity furnished a qual
ified leader who devoted his time
to the operation of the activity,
and many of the programs had
professional instructors working
with the participants.
The Teenage Baseball League
is planned as the next addition
to the Recreation Council’s pro
gramming of activities.
Many questions have come up
concerning the Teenage Baseball
Program. To clarify the issue,
the following questions and an
swers are presented:
What is C.S.R.S Teenage Base
ball? It is a baseball program
for the boys of 13 years of age
and up. This program will in
clude the regular high school
baseball team of A&M Consoli
dated and at least two Babe Ruth
teams (13-15 year old boys) in
the Brazos Valley Youth League
during 1961.
What boys will this program
reach? After a boy passes the
age for Little League baseball
he will automatically become eli
gible for Teenage Baseball.
What is needed? A lighted
regulation size baseball field in
College Station for the 1961 base
ball season. The field must be
ready for play when the A&M
Consolidated baseball season be
gins Mar. 1, 1961.
How can this this need be met ?
By the support of all residents
of the combined Bryan-College
Station area and all businesses
therein.
Where will the field be lo
cated? On property owned by
the A&M Consolidated School
System, just east of the present
football field. The school board
of A&M Consolidated voted in
July that this area be designated
hereafter as an area for a base
ball field to be used by both the
school and the community.

The people of College Station are once again to be com
plimented.
Reports from ambitious United Chest workers show
that citizens of the community are maintaining the same
charitable attitude toward such a drive that they have iden
tified themselves by doing in years past.
Last year, the United Chest drive went well over its
goal; this year’s aim of $15,150 should as easily be obtained
and surpassed, with the continued cooperation of the people
of College Station.
Theme for the 15-day drive, terminating on Nov. 15, is
“One Day’s Pay: The United Way!”
If everyone approached for a donation gave this amount,
the goal set by the Heading Committee would be passed in a
matter of days.
This was done in Dumas, a small North Texas town near
Amarillo, where citizens donated 103 per cent of their pre
determined goal in less than a week. If Dumas could do it,
surely College Station could out-do this record.
Various agencies in the Bryan-College Station area will
reap great benefits from the United Chest funds, and the re
cipients of these benefits will be the people of the commun
ities, the citizens who worked together for them .
Benefits will be seen through the Boy and Girl Scouts,
Brazos County Youth Counciling Service, Crippled Children’s
Therapy Center, College Station Community House, and the
College Station Recreation Council.
These are among 14 community, charity, medical and
youth agencies to receive imbursement from the United
Chest at the end of the drive.
By participating in the United Chest drive, the people
of the community help those who need help and become an
accepted and essential part of community improvement and
betterment.
“Help yourself by helping others ...”
What kind of a field is
planned? The lighted regulation
field will have a 6-foot chain link
fence completely surrounding the
area. There will be approxi
mately 300 feet from home base
to both right and left and almost
400 feet to the fence in center
field. The back stop will be 42
feet or more from the foul lines
and home base. At least 100
lights on 10 poles (45-55 feet)
will be used to light the field.
Dugouts will be of concrete with
a shade over them and .a drain
so water can be removed. A con
cession stand and bleachers will
be provided by the A&M Consoli
dated School in the future.
What will be the estimated
cost? A bid from one local firm
indicates a cost of about $9,000
for materials. This does not in
clude any labor for construction,
therefore a goal of $10,000 has
been established as a minimuiti
to provide the field. 1
How will it be constructed ?
By the men of College Station
and surrounding area with the
help of the City of College Sta
tion, A&M Consolidated School
and any business firms willing
to donate labor, materials and
equipment. Labor will be do
nated as it was in the construc
tion of the Little League Parks
of the area. The following men
will supervise construction: Ed-
sell Jones, Jack Chaney, Jim Wal
lace and Hubert Hearne.
Who will care for the field?
A&M Consolidated School Sys
tem, during the school year, and
the College Station Recreation
Council through the Babe Ruth
League and the Brazos Valley
Youth League during the sum
mer.
How are funds to be raised?
Business firms and individuals of
Bryan and College Station will
be contacted and asked to pledge
any amount they c^n over the
next 5 years. A pledge card will
be given each contributor and
pledges may be paid monthly,
quarterly, semi-annually, or an
nually. A permanent name plac
ard of charter contributors ($50
or more) will be placed at the
entrance gate of the field. Other
contributors will be duly recog
nized. All funds collected will
be held in a special fund by the
bonded treasurer of the College

INTERPRETING
Terms of Scottish Base
For Polaris Still Kicks Up
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
The small gale that was blow
ing in Anglo-American relations
over the terms of a Scottish base
for a Polaris submarine has died
down, but continues to kick up
a dust in British politics.
The United States has been as
sured, despite some ambiguous
words by Prime Minister Harold
Macmillan, that Britain realizes
she can exercise no veto over the
actions of submarines so based.
In return, the United States
has reaffirmed her intention to
consult her allies wherever their
interests are involved, insofar as
time permits in an emergency.
The base agreement allows
stationing of a submarine tender,
capable of carrying Polaris mis
sile, to service the new subma
rines, the first of which goes
into service this month.
The agreement has revived
Station Recreation Council until British fear > existent ever since
by American policies with which
Britain might disagi’ee at the
time.
The British are extremely
aware that their insular popula
tion and industry will be horribly
exposed in casq of atomic war.
That has produced two groups
which sincerely oppose American
bases and even the development
of nuclear weapons by Britain
herself. Some of them are paci
fists. Some believe unilateral
nuclear disarmament by Brjitaht'
might pave the way for inter- ^ )0S „ e< ! 1 f na ,
,. , , . to fall back
national action.
They are joined by some left
ist fellow travelers whose mo
tives are subject to far greater
question.
Insofar as the submarine
“service station” is concerned,
it will serve two positive pur
poses, mostly of peacetime bene
fit. It is a convenience, but by
no means a necessity, in the de
ployment of the Polaris subs at
picket posts in the Eastern Hemi
sphere for their principal job.
That job is to remind the So
viet Union that, even if the
United States should be seriously
injured by surprise attack, she
will still retain a vast power of
retaliation from secret underwa
ter “firing pads.”
In case of war, of course, the
service station would be too ex
posed and the subs would have
on home bases, which
actually are easily available to
their great speed and range.
The other result is to add an
other thread to the fabric of
Anglo-American mutual defense,
a project thoroughly approved by
most Britons despite the strange
noises we sometimes hear from
their minorities.

2 Scientists
Receive
Nobel Prize
By The Associated Press
STOCKHOLM, Sweden —Two
California scientists won 1960
Nobel prizes Thursday for sep
arate feats in harnessing the
atom to haul mysteries of the
universe to light.
Dr. Willard F. Libby, 51, of
the University of California at
Los Angeles, a former member
of the U. S. Atomic Energy Com
mission, was awarded the chem
istry prize for devising the atom
ic time clock.
This is a method through which
scientists, by checking on the de
cay and disappearance of radio
active carbon 14 from such ob
jects as parchment, charcoal,
stone or pottery, can fix the
dates of ancient events—give or
take several centuries.
Dr. Donald A, Glaser, 34, of
the University of California, was
the other American winner.
Other Nobel prizes went to
Saint-John Perse, French poet
and former diplomat, for litera
ture, and Sir Frank MacFarlane
Burnet of Australia and Dr. Pe
ter Brian Medawar of Britain
for medicine.
For the 17th time, the peace
prize is being withheld.
All the winners will be invited
to Stockholm to receive, their
checks, medals and diplomas
from King Gustav VI at tradi
tional ceremonies Dec. 10.
