Here A&M foot- ill Texas Needs Now Is l Big League Hockey Team This is the time of year that almost anywhere you look on the A&M campus in the afternoon, a bunch of Aggie athletes will be seen at work because all four major sports are in session. Of course basketball season is almost over, but the team is still holding their afternoon workouts under the roof of G. Rollie White. So far the weather ,has given the boys who work oufeide a little trouble for the past few days, but after yesterday’s sunshine things began to roll again. Cinders were being kicked on Kyle Field’s track and behind the scoreboard the field event men are tossing the shot and discus. These boys are warming up for A&M’s next meet that will be in Austin March 4. The thinclads are al ready past the stage of “getting in shape” since they participated in the early season indoor meet at Fort Worth. The largest groups of A&M athletes were on the practice fields behind Kyle Field. These were the spring football hopefuls and the 1961 baseball team. This week the football team started full contact with plenty of rough stuff. So far the team has been working in groups divided mainly between the backs and line men. By HAROLD V. RATLIFF Issociated Press Sports Writer ill Texas needs to do now is fet itself a major league hockey mchise and it will be as big in fts as any area in the world. Ite hockey on a minor league lie was tried here once and was * a howling success although it m good crowds. The sport was s expensive and the coliseums we too small to pay the freight. Already Texas has three major apie professional football clubs 4e Dallas Texans and the Hous- te Oilers of the American Foot- ill League and the Dallas Cow- lys of the National Football (ague. Bowling League la October it will have three fa in the new National Bowl- ij League. They are Ft. Worth, a» Antonio and Dallas. This ague is a fantastic operation, stain of making a profit its first ason. Television, concessions and magazine will bring in enough oaey that the cities can make tig profit by averaging only MO per match. Texas will reach the zenith next larwhen Houston starts playing the National League. Three Pro Sports This will mean that Texas has Bins in pro football, pro bowling professional baseball in big «ie circles. The three teams in pro football st at least $1,500,000 but they si expected to so nobody was Jrticularly worried about it. The ®1 test comes this fall. The (ggest test will be Dallas where Itre are two pro football clubs. It is generally conceded that illas isn’t large enough to sup- •it two pro teams but how long "'ill take to convince the owners these clubs is another matter. 1 are owned by wealthy people h° don’t like the connotation of Is word “quit.” No Profits Soon They’ll not be expecting a profit 'thin four years. They might be id, But it’s doubtful if both the Dallas pro clubs last that •?. The owners aren’t concerned ^ the finances but if the clubs to get good fan ‘patronage the •ners might be ready to take out. [ sn they would be convinced that > ! people didn’t want pro football, Wally in such large doses. Something Unique Texas will do something else Ms year that no other state can Mim. It wall start the baseball toson. without a loss of clubs, hast year there were nine in state and this year there’ll be lise although one of them will t new. Odessa quit the Sophomore League but El Paso took its place. Thus Texas again will have two clubs in the circuit. Alpine is the other. The saqne Texas League clubs of 1960 will toe the mark in April— Austin, San Antonio, Harlingen, Amarillo and Victoria. The same clubs that were in the American Association in 1960 will be back—Houston, and Dallas- Ft. Worth. Houston, however, will be in its last season in the minors. And when Houston quits to enter the National League it’s doubtful that Dallas-Ft. Worth will continue in the Class AAA league. By then Dallas-Ft. Worth might be in the big leagues, too. Both groups were highly spirited as they groaned, grunted, and slipped in the mud. ■ A&M’s baseball team has started to vary a little from the first few days of running to get into condi tion. They had their “iron man” pitching machine set up and each man got his turn to try to sail one out of the park. The freshman are sticking to fundamentals and plenty of run ning under their “new” coach, J. B. Carroll who played on last year’s varsity team. So far Carroll is well pleas6d with the progress of his top-notch crop of Fish. Slioden Leads Eazorbacks Past Toads By The Associated Press FORT WORTH—With all-con ference Clyde Rhoden hitting an astounding 10 of 1 field goal at tempts and gathering 24 points, Arkansas smashed hapless Texas Christian University, 96-76, here Wednesday night before 1,376 fans. The Razorbacks had no trouble in winning their seventh Southwest Conference victory in 11 starts. The Frogs are now 3-8. The game was tied three times in the early stages but after Tom my Boyer’s free toss put Arkansas ahead 6-5, the Christians fell stead ily behind. TCU shifted from a zone defense into a man-for-man late in the first half and used a full court press most of the last half, but to no avail. With Arkansas hitting 46 per cent of its shots in the first half, the Razorbacks led at the half, 47-33. HOW DEEP IS THE OCEAN? Scientific Director Dr. Andreas B. Rechnitzer and the U.
