Page 4 College Station, Texas Friday, February 10, 1001 THE BATTALIOR Fish Have Good Statistics; Meet Wogs Saturday Night By LARRY SMITH Going into their eighth game of the season, the Aggie Fish still have a rather respectable percent age from the floor. Through seven games the Fish have made 179 out of 469 shots for a .382 percentage while holding their opponents to .361 per cent. The Fish lead in every statistical department except the free throw column where the opponents lead .718 percent to .681 percent. Guard Dave Johnson, the play- maker for the Fish, has the high est percentage on field goals, mak ing on 23-53 for a .434 v percentage. The tallest man on the squad, Bill Robinette, is second with a .429 percentage. The other three start ers, McGuire, Lenox and Merritt, have .395 percent, .388 percent and .386 percent respectively. In the total points department, Forward Bennie Lenox is easily the kingpin as he has compiled an average of 25.6 points per game. Following Lenox is Lynn Merritt with a 12.4 average, Robinette with a 12.3 average, Johnson^with 9.6 points, and Chuck McGuire with a five point average. The Fish’s “weakest” depart ment, rebounding, is not too weak as they lead .their opponents, 372 to> 349. The leader for the Fish is, 6h6 center, Robinette with 77 re- bonmds for the seven games. Lenox hae grabbed 54 off the boards and Megritt has racked up 53. This weekend in the cowtown of Fort Worth, the Fish take on the TCU Wogs who they defeated in theitr second game of the season, 58-5(0. It is being said around G. Rollie each, of the four grous, and the just developed within the last few days- If this is true, the Fish should have little trouble winning over the Wogs ag’ain.

This was the headline that spread across the nation’s newspapers yesterday concerning the University of Iowa, the ninth ranked cage team in the nation. It was indeed an unfortunate situation for the Hawk- eyes who had compiled a 12-3 record and were considered the only team left with a shot at top-ranked Ohio State in the Big Ten cage race. The same disaster that struck the Hawkeyes could hap pen anywhere and the thought constantly haunts coaches and players. It has in Texas high schools and many times in the Southwest Conference. But it hasn’t occurred at Texas A&M in the past few years. There is always the trite argument that the majority of athletes elect an easy course of study or receive extra help from profs. This is certainly a fallacy at A&M. Off last year’s grid roster, only three Aggies were major ing the typical Physical Education, while 16 were in engi neering. Also athletes aren’t given extra consideration in the Texas A&M classrooms. The biggest boost to A&M’s ability to keep their athletes scholastically eligible is largely attributed to the scholastic advisory service set up by the Athletic Department under A. E. (Buddy) Denton. Before joining the Athletic Department last year, Bud dy had been with Basic Division and saved many a student from total doom grade-wise with his counseling. Denton’s new job is the same as the old except that he is dealing with athletes, whose time is scarce during their season. He helps the students select the right major as well as set up study schedules for them. Sure, the athletes gripe about having to go to study hall and make class attendence a habit, but they stay elegible. This bickering is no different that that of underclass men in the Corps of Cadet Call to Quarters every night. Another little added inducement to attend classes is put before the athletes. If too many cuts are turned in on an athlete, his study hall comes at 5 in the morning. ★ ★ ★ While on the subject of grades of athletes, the man agers should also be saluted. Actually these students put in more time than the players themselves. They have to arrive at the field before the players every day and remain afterward to straighten the lockers. Also many weekends are taken up with work at the field house. And most of the managers get no compensation what soever for their many hours. Last semester seven football managers and one basket ball manager had an average grade point ratio of 1.77. Don Jones headed the football managers with a 2.67 and was fol lowed by Frank Haynes, Bob Roepke, Sandy Westbrook, Bil ly Vassar, Chester Michalak and Lynn Boyd. The basketball manager was Jim Roberts. Humble to hold job interviews Feb. 13,14-do you qualify?

He has watched the twinkling stars and wondered ct the never-ending dance of the planets around the Sun. He has dreamed and written of the possibility of exploring outer space and speculated endlessly on what he might find could he but explore those silent spheres. 1 A practical beginning to these century long yearnings has already been accomplished with man-made satellites already girdling the Earth. Now, the next stage is under Way —the daring attempt to explore the Moon and the planets of our Solar System and their environments. somi vino casu in ti The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has assigned Caltech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) the responsibility for the Nation's program of unmanned lunar, planetary, and interplanetary exploration. The objectives of this program are to contribute to mankind's fundamental knowledge of space and the space envi ronment and to the development of the technology of space exploration. For the next ten years, as larger booster vehicles become available, spacecraft with ever-increas ing scientific instrument payloads will be developed. pien fher ’ JPL will conduct the missions, utilizing these spacecraft io orbit and land on the Moon, to probe interplanetary space, and to orbit and land on the near and far planets. f Earliest of these spacecraft will be the “Ranger" series now being designed, developed and tested at JPL. The mission of this particular series will include first, explora tion of the environment and later the landing of instru ment capsules on the Moon. / Subsequent steps will continue a constant probing for the knowledge of what is beyond and wjll require all the skills, ingenuity, courage, endurance, perception and imagination that men can bring to the task. Never before has such a wide vista of opportunity, or c greater incentive been open to men trained in all fields of modern science and engineering. Every day at JPL new problems arise, new theories are advanced, new methods tried, new materials used, and new principles discovered. Wouldn't you like to be part of this exciting activity?
