The head men who hawe been teaching the Army the correct tactics to use ai’e Teddy Jack Es tes, Paul Piper, Ralph Smrith, Joe Bob Johnson, Larry Broadidus and Bob Caskey. Estes, Broadrius and Caskey have been working with the backs while Piper, Johnson and Smith have been handling the chores in the line. “We have made one cjhange in the backfield which we t}hink will help us,” Estes explainefd, “Fred Schmidt has been moved from righthalf to lefthalf.” All three line coaches agree that their boys are ready for the game and that it should be a real close game. “We have a lot of small boys but I think they will put up a good fight against the Air Force,” Piper said. The coaches for the Air Force eleven are all in high spirits over the enthusiasm that their boys have shown. The staff for the Airmen include Carter Franklin, Bob Phillips and Wayne Freiling who have been coaching the linemen, along with Jon Few, Eddie Van Dyke and Daryle Keeling, who have been teaching the backs. “I don’t think we can pick out any one individual who has been looking the best in practice be cause they have all been doing real well,” Franklin remarked. Our boys have shown fine prog ress this week even though we lost a couple of players because of in juries the coaches stated. “If our quarterbacks will come through on their play calling to night we should do real well,” Few commented. In both training camps spirits are high and all seem to think that their team will win so it should be an exciting game.

Probably the most exciting event will take place here on Kyle Field as the varsity baseballers take on the league leading Texas Long horns. It is impossible for the Ags to win the SWC crown, but they can sure put the damper on the ‘Horns and prevent them from taking top honors. Spence Starts Mike Spence, the big right-hand- BUY BACK BOOKS cinc^e ore “SERVING TEXAS AGGIES” er from Dallas, will start on the mound for the Ags in the first game Friday. The starter for Sat urday’s contest is still indefinite, but Bob Collins is the likely man. Five seniors will be playing their last game Saturday. They are Don Costlow, a pitcher from Lufkin; Randy Wortham, catcher from New Boston; Dick Hickerson, first baseman from College Station; By- rort Barber, left fielder from Dal las; and Stuffy Davis, centerfield- er from Corpus Christi. Over in the capital city, the Fish take along their unbeaten streak as they try the Shorthorns in the last game of the year. They whip ped the highly-touted Shorthorns here on May 2, 5-1. Going into the game, the Fish have compiled a 10-0 record for the season. Big Chuck McGuire who has a 3-0 record is scheduled to start on the hill for Coach J. B. Carroll’s in Austin, compete. He is not expected to Man Mountain The man-mountain, Danny Rob erts, could win three first for the Fish in the shot put, discus and the javelin. The shot put record of 51-10 by Texas’ Jim Allison set in 1958 appears doomed. Roberts has bettered the mark in every meet this spring with his best toss be ing 54-4. Other Fish who may win blue ribbons are Sprinter Ralph Martin and Quarter-miler R. E. Merritt. Fowlkes, 33, Runs Century By The Associated Press ATLANTA—If you don’t think Dougles L. Fowlkes is an unusual fellow, suppose you start listing all the people you know who are 33 years old and can run 100 yards in 9.6 seconds. Buddy Fowlkes, 33, father of three young 1 sprinters, full-time paint contractor and youth work er, did it last week in the Florida AAU meet when he took six young members of his Atlanta Striders team to Gainesville and beat the University of Florida and Florida freshmen track teams. His 9.6 per formance in the 100 tied a meet record. Next week the former Georgia Tech dash man, hurdler and broad jumper will attempt to match his amazing 9.5 performance of a year ago in the Georgia AAU meet. Fowlkes won the Southeastern Conference 100-yard dash 14 years ago. In a four-year college career he amassed 50 points in SEC meets, an all-time conference rec ord. —SENIOR RING DANCE FORMALS— Place Your Order Today For Your Ring Dance Tuxedo White Coat and Black Pants or All Dark ZUBIK'S Uniform Tailors North Gate BOOKS BOOKS m At S 0 * * O O SHAFFERS P3 in WE BUY BOOKS WE SELL BOOKS R £ WE TRADE BOOKS A C I H o Shaffer’s XTi % BOOK STORE 5 A A c J o w BOOKS H VI M fSMOTHER’Si R c c C o t tt A Texan At Bay Paul Crume.... 4.50 l Ifl Roadside Flowers K A tt Of Texas 5.75 o Leaves Of Gold c * 7 o Gift of Inspiration PM 3.95 to 10.00 Xfl New English Bible tt 4.95 K O o At C C * H tt SHAFFERS SHOOa SH008 Be Sure Of A Seat!

The finals are scheduled to start at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday. Only two seniors will be in their last meet and one of these—Robert Clark—has been out of action for about a month. The other is jave lin thrower, Jim Brewer. The best hope for the varsity will probably come in the sprints, sprint relay, 880-yard dash and the one- mile run. In the freshman meet, it looks like a battle between the Fish, Tex as an SMU for first place in team points.
