••A'*: V
Eight A&M Track Recor
Coach Charlie Thomas’ thinclads,
despite the mid-season losses of
Pat Mitchell and R. E. Merritt to
injury and sickness, have added
eight new records to A&M stat
istics this year.
The tracksters have two more
meets in Texas this season.
The five records set by the
varsity squad include:

Crooks at the Dallas Invitational.
The old record was 1:52.8 by
Crooks at Austin in 1901.
Shot put: 57-1 Vi by Danny Ro
berts in the A&M-Rice-Texas meet
on Kyle Field. Old record, 57-1 and
three eights by Darrow Hooper
in the 1952 Olympic Trails.
No existing records are listed
for the sprint medley relay and
the 3000 meter steeplechase, but
Thomas said he is positive that
this year’s times are the best in
Aggie history. Jerry Anderson, Ed |
Williams, George Tedford and Thad
Crooks have covered the 220-220-
440-880-sprint medley relay in
3:21.4. E. L. Ener toured the stee
plechase route at the Texas Relays
in 9:14.2.
Two-mile run: Ener also topped
the A&M record in this event,
covering the distance in 9:17.9 at
last weekend’s Drake Relays. The
old record was held by J. I). Hamp
ton (9:22.0 at the 1949 NCAA
Meet.)
The freshman records set this
season include:
100-yard dash: 9.4 by Ted Nel
son at Odessa. The old record

ton in 1947. In setting the new
mark, Nelson took second behind
former Texas great Ralph Al-
spaugh in a special West Texas
Relays race.
440-yard dash: Nelson also turn
ed in the record-breaking time in
this event. He covered the distance
in 46.8 on Kyle Field in the A&M-
Rice Texas triangular. The old re
cord was 47.3 set by Ray Hol
brook in the 1949 SWC Meet.

land at the Texas Relays. The old
record was held by Jack Simpson,

Sophs Dominate Statistics
Pitchers. Hitters Standout
The two victories over the Rice
Owls in last weeks’ double head
er brought about several changes
in the lastest Texas Aggies’ base
ball statistics released by the A&M
Sports Publicity Office.
Bill Hancock, sophomore third-
encker, is currently leading the
Aggies at the plate in SWC play
with a strong .387 average. Fol
lowing close on Hancock’s heels is
Bob McAdams, sophomore right
fielder, hitting a nifty .385. Frank
Stark, first baseman, and Dave
Johnson, shortstop, are well a-
bove the .300 mark with Stark hit
ting .357 and Johnson a fine .343.
Both Stark and Johnson are sopho
mores.
McAdams is pacing the team in
home runs with three and in total
bases with 27. Johnson and Han
cock have the most doubles (3)
while Hancock, McAdams, and Bill
Crochett, sophomore second-sack-
er, are tied in triples with one a-
piece.
In the season statistics, Frank
Stark took the lead from Dave

Johnson with his fine 5-for-8 per
formance against Rice. Stark is
hitting .344 and Johnson .338.
A glance at the pitching stars
reveals where the credit lies for
a great deal of the Aggies’ suc
cess this year. The combined Aggie
pitching staff has an exceptional
earned run average of 2.11 in sea
son and 2.36 in conference play.
The slingers are paced by Ed
Singley, right-handed junior, who
has racked up wins without a de
feat. In conference play Sing-
ley has three wins and no losses.
He is closely followed by Johnny
Crain, fireballing sophomore, who
has gained credit for two wins
without a defeat.
Chuck McGuire with a 4-1 sea
son recmxl and 3-1 conference re
cord leads the club in complete
games with two and in earned
run average with a sparkling 1.05
in SWC play. Crain has the top
ERA in season play with a 1.43
followed closely by McGuire with
a 1.79.
UptiPif
Electrical engineering seniors
handed their department’s faculty
an unprecedented 17-6 defeat at
softball Saturday during the an
nual departmental picnic at Hensel
Park.
Earlier in thp day, the stu
dents defeated the faculty by six
strokes in a golf battle fought ac
cording to PGA (Professors’ Golf
Academy) rules.
In the softball contest, the facul
ty played without their star pitch
er, Professor Norman F. “Lightn
ing” Rod, who had pitched the
faculty to 21 consecutive victories
over the past years. The winning
pitcher, Dave “Spikes” Collins, al
lowed 12 hits in holding the profes
sors to six runs.
Some yeoman infield seiwice by
Dick Selby, John T. Sullivan, Ed
Ruling and Ed Thrush was a fact
or in the upset victory. Dr. John
H. German, in his first start for
the faculty, was the losing. A fifth
inning homer by Ed Pitrucha high
lighted the day’s slugging.

WHAT HORSERACING WILL DO FOR TEXAS
MILLIONS $$$$$$$ IN EXTRA
INCOME FOR STATE AND COUNTIES
The State of Texas and every
County in Texas will share in the
pari-mutuel tax. In 1961, New
York State received over $99
million dollars from horseracing
taxes; California over $38 million.
New Jersey over $25 million,
Illinois over $19 million plus 20
other States for a total in excess
of one quarter billion dollars.
This money is needed in Texas
for better roads, hospitals, schools,
parks, conservation of natural
resources, old age pensions, teach
ers salaries, etc. This income to
the State and to every County in
the State will help prevent in
creased taxes.
the breeding and raising of thor
oughbreds. Texas, because of its
climate and horse raising back
ground, can greatly expand the
business of breeding, raising and
training horses if horses can race
in Texas at first class tracks with
first class competition. Today
race horses from Texas must be
shipped to' other States which
entails great expense. With tracks
in Texas, every farmer and rancher
will have the opportunity and
the economic incentive to supply
the necessary horses. A great hew
industry will boom.
TOURIST ATTRACTIONS
DESPERATELY NEEDED
Texas’ sagging tourist industry
dropped from 10.3 million visitors
spending $531 million in 1957 to
8.6 million visitors spending $457
million in I960, according to the
State Highway Department. The
tourist trend in Texas is down
while the tourist industry in the
U.S. is booming at a $20 billion
a year rate. Based on population
Texas’ tourist income should be
over a billion dollars.
Horseracing offers Texas an op
portunity to reverse this trend and
bring back the thousands of tour
ists who have found visits else
where more alluring.
HORSERACING OUTDRAWS
FOOTBALL-BASEBALL COMBINED
In 1961, horseracing retained its
position as the nation’s number
one spectator sport with a new
record total of over 59 million in
attendance, almost 5 million more
than the total baseball and foot
ball attendance combined. The
pleasure of being outdoors, the
love of horses combined with the
thrill of an exciting race have
earned for horseracing the role
of "America’s Favorite Sport”.
HORSERACING BOON TO BUSINESS
OMAHA — "... motels and res
taurants at capacity, downtown
business increased.”
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, ILLI
NOIS — "the businessmen wel
come the horsemen.”
PHOENIX—"...a mighty good
adjunct to the tourist business,,
about $150,000,000 annually.”
EL PASO—" . . . (track just across
border) Credit managers not re
porting any rise in delinquent
accounts. Business feeling the
effect of "extra” business from
race track patrons. Definite asset.”
Besides the millions of dollars that
can be expected from tourists, the
track itself- will rocket more mil
lions into circulation in Texas.
Labor and material for a first class
track will be in excess of 12 mil
lion dollars. Employment at the
track will provide another major
payroll for Texas.
FARMERS AND RANCHERS
TO BENEFIT
Texas leads the nation in quarter
horse registration and is 6th in
A survey made by Chambers of
Commerce in cities enjoying horse
racing, resulted in a 100% agree
ment that business increased be
cause of horseracing.
NEW ORLEANS — ”... it is my
considered opinion that the eco
nomic impact is beneficial. Retail
credit is unaffected.”
TEXANS FLOCK TO RACES
IN OTHER STATES
By car, by plane and even by
special trains, thousands and
thousands of Texans go to Hot
Springs, New Orleans, Kentucky,
New York, California, New Mex
ico, etc. Let’s keep these $$$$$$
in Texas.
CHARITIES BENEFIT
Tracks all over the na^on regu*
larly have "Charity Days” with
all gate proceeds going to a par
ticular charity. In one State last
year over 5 million dollars went
to charity. All of the net profits
of Del Mar track in California
goes into boys work. Texas tracks
can provide millions for charity
work in Texas.
HORSERACING, BEST SUPERVISED
OF ALL SRlORTS
Federal, State, County and City
supervision plus the industry ^
own Bureau have virtually elim
inated all scandals and corruptio
from what today no less a P
sonage than J. Edgar Hoover -
called a "well supervised ana
clean sport, a wholesome C||V .
