id-four ounce pins in a ma-
ie-like manner which resembled

[Id In the nine games he
lied, Possum had seven of 200

Siding' this strong scoring by
Korose, the Aggies won nine of
twelve points and their second
TIBC crown. In the deciding match
with Southern Methodist Uni
versity, the only team left with
a mathematical chance of catching
the Cadets, Korose shot games of
226, 202, and 203 for a 631 series
and a 3-1 decision for the Aggies.
With the championship already
sewed up, the Aggies still must
bowl the remaining 12 points in
their televised session in Dallas.

Liston’s Manager
Salks At Invite
To Fight Johansson
By The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA—The manag
er of heavyweight contender
Sonny Liston said Monday his
fighter had been offered a $125,-
000 minimum guarantee to fight
Ingemar Johansson in Sweden
next September. ^
But Joseph Barone said, “you I 1
don’t go into a thing like this be
fore finding out how solid the
offer is.”
Barone admitted Monday he had
received a telegraphed offer from
Edwin Ahlquist, Swedish promoter
and advisor to Johansson. Ahl
quist han announced the offer
Sunday before Barone had seen
it, causing Liston’s manager to
pop off that it sounded only like
a publicity stunt.
The telegram proposed the fight
be held in Goteborg or Stockholm
in early September and promised
the guarantee would be deposited
in Barone’s bank four days before
date of the fight.
“Suppose we took the offer in
good faith,” said Barone, “went
through training, flew to Sweden
and were all set to go through
with the fight, and then a week
before the date something hap
pened to Johansson or to the pro
motion and the fight was called
off? The money would not he in
the bank yet and we’d be left
holding the bag, after wasting a
whole summer.
“This is one reason why I
would have to talk with Ahlquist
directly. He’d have to give us
some protection against a post
ponement or cancellation. And
I’d be bound to try for a better
financial deal.”

Aggies Rap Methodist, 14 - 8
Try To Keep SWC Lead
The Aggie baseball team re-
ained a chunk of the Southwest
Conference lead Saturday in Dallas
i.s they blotted out Southern Meth
odist, 14-8, but that lead-is on
the line today as Rice comes td
Kyle Field at 3 p.m.
SMU jumped to a quick 4-3
’ead in the second inning Satur
day after both teams brought home
three runs each in the first. The
Ponies’ lead was short-lived as
A&M drove across six big runs in
the thii'd and never fell behind
again.
The big third inning was en
gineered by Dick Hickerson, Terry
Cobb and Mike Spence, who col
lected singles to biing in two
walked men. A two-run error by
the Pony centerfielder put Jack
Singley on first before Bill Puckett
came up for the second time in
the inning. With one man away,
Puckett poked a long fly into cen
ter for a sacrifice to bring in
Singley.
SMU’s lead resulted from a
double by Jim Stogo that scored
Don Jansen.
Hickerson led the 14-hit Aggie
attack as he rapped the ball for
three hits, driving in three runs.

Cadets Take Victory
In Triangular Meet
A flood of A&M entries paid
off Saturday as the Aggies took
first place in a triangular track
meet at Lamar Tech.
Coach Charley Thomas’ team
took nine first places while com
piling 80 points. The Lamar Tech
Cardinals were second with 70 and
Sam Houston State’s Bearkat'
squad finished last with 20.
A Tech record, set by Charles
Lowe in 1956, was tied by Cardinal
Leon Bryant. He clipped off the
100-yard high hurdles in 14.7 sec
onds and was the only participant
to reach a record mark.
A&M took three second places,
nine thirds and eight fourths in
winning their second triangular in
a x’ow. The Cadets won their only
home meet last Satui'day at Kyle
Field.
Charles Tiemann heaved the shot
50-0% in winning first place. Other
Aggie blue ribbon performers were
James Brewer, who tossed the jav
elin 199-11; Gail McDaniel, pole
vault, 13-0; broad jump, Jim Ar
nold, 21-8%.
The 100- and 220-yai’d dashes,
-Curtis Roberts, 9.5 and 21.4 re
spectively; 880-yard run, Thad
Crooks, 1:55.1.
Aggie relay teams won fii'st in
the 440 and mile relays with times
of 42.0 and 3:21.5 respectively.
The 440 team was comprised of
Roberts, Eugene Dornak, Robert
Clark and Ed Williams.
Winning the mile relay were
Dornak, Crooks, Hubert Nelson
and George Tedford.
The Aggies’ next meet is the
San Angelo Relays Saturday.
Last Saturday in Huntsville,
while'the first team was clinching
the T.I.B.C. Championship at the
MSC lanes, the Aggie second
match team moved into a first
place tie with Sam Houston State
Teaclxers College in the Gulf Coast
Collegiate Conference. The Ag
gies did this by taking three out
of four games from Sam Houston
State in the first match. Behind
the fine bowling of freshman Jim
Butler, the Aggies shot a tre
mendous 2890, league high team
series. Besides Butler’s 235-626,
Bob Norris had a fine 247-618,
Scotty Harris shot 201-548, Buck
Cashiola had 203-533, and John
Mellgren, another freshman, had
209-565.
In the second match, the Aggies
took four from the .University of
Houston since U. of H. failed to
field a team. Again Jim Butler
led the team, shooting. 225-585
while Bob Norris shot 231-570.
Sam Houston State took from St.
Thomas University to remain even
with the Aggies. SHSTC and
A&M have identical 20-12 records.
The next round, which could pos
sibly determine the winner, will
be held at the MSC lanes on Apr.
8 at 2 p.m.

Bellamy, Stith Lead Slim
Pickings Of Big Men By NBA
By The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS—Indiana’s Walt Bel
lamy—best of the giants—and St.
Bonaventure’s Tom Stith—a great
shooter—were the first two choic
es in the National Basketball As
sociation draft Monday. Then the
little-known players took the spot
light.
Chicago, the NBA’s ninth and
newest franchise, took the 6-foot-
11 Bellamy as expected. The new
York Knickerbockers, with the
worst recoi'd in the NBA last sea
son, had the next choice and took
the 6-foot-5 Stith.
“Stith is the closest to Elgin
Baylor, Los Angeles Lakers gx-eat
scorer, that I’ve seen,” said Ned
Irish, pi’esident of the Knicks.
But the pickings were slim, in
deed, in the 6-9 to 6-11 category
among college seniBrs this season.
Some NBA clubs reached into the
Army, the Eastern League and
the National Basketball League
in the hunt for big men.
[Detroit, with the fourth choice,
took Ray Scott, 6-foot-9, who has
played three seasons with Allen
town, Pa., in the Eastern League
after flunking out of Portland U.
His class graduated this year.
Syracuse named Ben Warley,
6-7 former Tennessee A & I player
now with Cleveland of the NBL.
Players in the NBL are ama
teurs.
Other less-publicized players
chosen in the first round were
Wayne Yates, of Memphis State
by Los Angeles; Tom Meschery,
of St. Mary’s, Calif., by Phila
delphia; Cleo Hill, of Winston-
Salem, N.C., by St. Louis; and
Gary Phillips of Houston by Bos
ton.
Cincinnati’s first round choice
was Larry Siegfi’ied, teammate of '
Ohio State All-America Jerry Lu
cas, still a junior.
There is bound to be some com
petition between the NBA and the
new American Basketball League,
although NBA President Maui'ice
Podoloff said the NBA anticipates
no monetary battle and he insists
the new league anticipates no
trouble. Bellamy has been drafted
by the ABL’s Chicago entry, Stith
by Pittsburgh and Meschexy by
San Francisco.
The second round of the NBA
draft also produced some sleepers,
chiefly Ron Horn, 6-foot-7 all
Army player who was taken b;
St. Louis. Horn played as a fresh
man with Bellamy at Indiana, then
joined the Army.
