f
U.S. International companies have
broadened their horizons as they
search today for knowledgeable
young college graduates to send
abroad to manage their foreign bus
iness operations. Once they sought
men trained in business. Today (al
though it may come as a pleasant
shock to those who may have felt
hesitant about breaking into the
world of international commerce),
the companies are hiring liberal arts
graduates (with varied majors),
scientists, engineers, agriculturists,
pharmacists, and others as well as
graduates in business administration,
accounting* economics, and market
ing for careers abroad.
The appraising eyes of the re
cruiting representatives of most U.S.
international firms and government
agencies see it man as employable
if he has the proper attitude for an
overseas career, a general aptitude,
and, most important, an additional
year of practical training in foreign
trade techniques, in a spoken for
eign language, and in the social, cul
tural, and business aspects of the
world’s marketing areas.
One of the world’s pre-eminent
authorities in the culture, economics,
and politics of Latin America. Dr.
William L. Schurz, director of the
jfv' area studies department of the far-
famed American Institute for For
eign Trade in Phoenix, Arizona (and
author of the current, best-selling
Brazil, The Infinite Country), ob
serves that “the practice of foreign
trade is no longer a simple business
transaction to be conducted on a
‘main street’ overseas with the good
old American ‘hard sell’.”

Cited by U.S. and foreign indus
trialists, educators, and government
officials as our most effective insti

for international commerce, AIFT
offers a 3-part curriculum empha
sizing three general world areas:
modern foreign trade practices,
spoken languages (Spanish, Portu
guese, French), and living cultures
of the peoples in Latin and Central
America, the Far and Middle East,
and Western Europe.
About 300 carefully screened men
are graduated yearly. The postgrad
uate program lasts two semesters, a
new class starting both in January
and in September.
Industry and government officials
have been widely quoted as saying
that there is no institution of com
parable prestige for training in in
ternational commerce. Senator Gold-
water predicts that most Americans
who become business leaders in
trade centers around the world in
the next few years will have been
trained “specifically at The Ameri
can Institute for Foreign Trade.”

If you like basketball at its best, the Aggies aren’t the
only ones in the area that display fine play. Bryan’s Stephen
F. Austin Broncos have a 18-2 record for the season and
have a good chance of winning the District 13-AAAA cham
pionship.
Coach Peck Vass’ boys aren’t tall (Jerry Nevill is the
tallest at 6-3), but they perform with speed and balance.
Tuesday night in Bryan, the Broncos won their 16th straight
contest of the season as they out-shot the Temple Wildcats,
63-41.
Probably the secret to the Broncos’ success is team
balance. The five starters, Larry Hemenes, Bobby Seale,
Thomas Stockton, Neal Thompson and Nevill, all own averages
around the 10 point clip. Thompson is the top scorer with
224 points and a 11.5 average.
The Broncos have a fine sixth man in 5-11 Joe Frank
Stratta, who seems to spark the team when he is in the game.
His 4.9 average a game is third place to him as rebounding
and feeding off are his main strengths.
So if you would like to witness a good, well-balanced
high school cage team in action, make a date to see the
Broncos this Friday night at 7:30 in Bryan.

A&M’s spanking new head football coach and athletic
director, Hank Foldberg, is on the campus after attending
the NCAA Convention in Chicago last week. The former head
mentor at the University of Wichita arrived at Easterwood
Airport Tuesday morning and immediately started work on
A&M’s extensive recruiting program.
Foldberg has indicated that spring training wil begin the
latter part of February much to the delight of next fall’s
Aggie hopefuls. The weather will be cool and practice will
be over before the hot, sultry days hit Aggieland.
The Aggies will return 28 lettermen from the 4-5-1 1961
team. Sixteen of these lettermen are among the fine ’60
junior class who carried much of the load last fall. One red-
shirt, Eddie Van Dyke, figures to be one of the top backs
for the Aggies this fall. Van Dyke, a 6-1, 195-pound halfback
played well in the 1960 season but was scholastically ineligible
last fall.

Coach Bob Rogers’ Aggie cagers own a 3-2 record in SWC
and a 9-5 season mark going into the semester break. With
nine conference games remaining, the Cadets still have a good
chance in winning the SWC flag. Of these nine games, four
will be away from G. Rollie White Coliseum.
The next game for the Aggies will be on Jan. 30 when
they travel to Houston to battle the University of Houston
Cougafs. The Cadets were victorious in their first meeting
this season at Aggieland, 64-49.
Jerry Windham, A&M’s outstanding center, continues
to startle the opponents and fans with his rebounding. Last
Monday in Austin Windham grabbed 15 off the boards to
lea'd both teams. His return to the lineup after missing nine
non-conference .games, due to a leg injury, has been a tre
mendous boost to the Aggies. Jerry’s free throw shooting
is still below par, but he quickly makes up the difference with
his field goal shooting and rebounding. In short, he is a great
asset to A&M’s cause.
NCAA Endorses Mouthpieces
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. UP)—The
NCAA Football Rules Committee
recommended Wednesday that all
college players wear mouthpieces,
but made no rule changes govern
ing equipment.
Instead, the committee asked
that information about all avail
able football injury surveys be
compiled before equipment chang
es are made.
Fritz Crisler, former Michigan
coach and acting chairman of the
committee, said it would be im
possible to enforce a rule on wear
ing of mouth protectors.
“But we are strongly recom
mending that all players do wear
properly fitted mouthpieces,” he
said.
The committee was unable to
conclude action on player substi
tution rules and scheduled a night
session on its last matter of busi-
^Learn And Hungry 9 Look
For Fry’s SMU Mustangs
By HAROLD V. RATLIFF
Associated Press Sports Writer
At the Baylor football banquet
of 1951 Coach George Sauer paid
tribute to the forgotten man of a
Bear team that won eight, lost
one and tied one and went to the
Orange Bowl.
Hayden Fry, the quarterback
who made his contribution while
sitting on the bench, was cited.
Fry wasn’t the regular quarter
back because Larry Isbell was an
All-America.
But Fry had been the observe^
the fellow' who offered helpful
tips to the quarterback—aided the
man who beat him out for the job.
Sauer said it was a great example
of selflessness, of thinking first
of the team.
Fry had done this for Adrian
Burke before Isbell and became
known as “the man who made All-
America—for somebody else.”
Fry, a Presbyterian, today is
head coach of Southern Methodist.
He took the job held by Bill Meek
for five years, a period when the
university reached its lowest ebb
in football. The 19G0 season was
the worst on its history—nine
losses and one tie. In 1961 SMU
won two games by a combined to
tal of three points.
“Burke and Isbell were great
because they had me to press
them,” said Fry is he took over
the tremendous task of pulling
Southern Methodist back on a win
ning ba^is—with the return of
paying crowds the inevitable re
sult. “They knew if they faltered
in the least that I would be taking
over. That’s what competition
does and that’s the first thing I
must create on the SMU football
squad.”
Fry coached high school foot
ball, then became an assistant at
Baylor. He asked to handle the
defense. Actually, he knew plenty
about defense but he- wanted to
coach it to leai’n it all.
Hayden played his football in
the two-platoon days and was
used only on offense but he stud
ied all angles of defense, too. “A
quarterback must know all about
the defense to do his job,” he ex
plained. “If he doesn’t know about
defense how can he know what
plays will work best? He has to
pick the flaws in the defense in
order to make the offense go.”
Then, when Fry went to Arkan
sas he asked to be given the of
fense. He did so well head coach
Frank Broyles recommended him
to Southern Methodist. Broyles
found Fry to be a smart cookie
in all phases of football.
So, when Fry was selected as
head coach of Southern Methodist
he could take over with a thor
ough knowledge of how to operate
and with some excellent ideas on
how to handle the personnel and
get the most out of the players.
The first thing he did was to
determine why the team hadn’t
been winning. He found one big
reason was the lack of speed. It
couldn’t move fast enough to get
an even break with the opposition.
“The linemen had no idea of how
to run—they ran with their toes
out, they raised up in coming out
of the line instead of driving out
in a crouch. My first job wili be
to teach them how to run because
my offense is going to be built
around speed.”
Hayden also will try to take
off some of the excess from those
fat boys who can’t move. “I want
them lean and hungry,” he com
ments.
Another flaw appeared to be
lack of proper condition.
He found there would be 27 re
turning lettermen, which sounds
imposing. But he also found that
not more than half of those fel
lows played enough last fall to
warrant a letter and give an indi
cation of ability. Some coaches
letter the entire varsity squad but
Fry doesn’t go for this. He thinks
a boy should earn his letter by
actual play.
There has been much ta’k the
past several years about SMU not
getting as many good prospects
as the other schools because of
tougher entrance requirements.
Fry admits he may lose some good
prospects because of this but he
is philosophical. He says there
are s'd many good football players
in Texas from which to choose he
thinks he can get enough to com
pete with the rest of the South
west Conference. And besides,
the higher requirements may work
to his advantage at times. “Most
boys go to college for an education
as well as athletics,” he declares.
“Why shouldn’t the opportunity of
a good education be as attractive
as a chance to play football?”
