Dream VaultingC ompetition
May Be Failed By Conflict
By WILL GRIMSLEY
Associated Press Sports Writer
The dream pole vault competi
tion, bringing together all eight
members of the exclusive 16-foot
club, may be foiled later this
month by the still unsettled track
and field war.
The Amateur Athletic Union an
nounced Monday that seven of the
eight men who have attained that
astronomical height, including the
fabulous, Finn Pentti Nikula, are
expected to shoot at the 17-foot
mark in the National AAU Indoor
Championships at Madison Square
Garden Feb. 23.
THE ABSENTEE may be C. K.
Yang, the Nationalist Chinese star
from UCLA whose 16 feet 3%
inches is second only to Nikula’s
amazing 16-8^4, recorded last Sat
urday in the remote village of
Pajulahti, Finland.
“We have sent an invitation
to Yang, but haven’t received a
reply,” said Col. Don Hull, execu
tive director of the AAU.
Hull said the other seven had
indicated they would be on hand
and he predicted: “We may get
the 17-foot vault in this meet.”
UCLA, meanwhile, announced
that Yang would not be permit
ted to compete in the National
Indoor unless the AAU sought
sanction from the rival U. S.
Track and Field Federation. The
AAU has no intention of doing
this.
.TH^E QUESTION of dual sanc
tions is a sore point with the
AAU and USTFF. Failure to see
eye-to-eye on this point has caused
a continuation of the track and
field war which Gen. Douglas Mac-
Arthur thought he had settled.
“We still hope Yang will be
permitted to compete,” Hull said.
“It is inconceivable to us that
he would be held out of such an
important meet, particularly in
view of our agreement in the Mac-
Arthur meetings that all suspen
sions and restrictions against ath
letes would be lifted.”
TOM HAHILTON, executive of
the Big Six Conference which in
cludes UCLA and other major
Pacific Coast universities, an
nounced last week that his con
ference had never rescinded its
rule baxn’ing competition in meets
without USTFF sanction.
The other members of the 16-
foot club are Dave Tork 16-2 %,
Don Myers I6-IV2, John Uelses
16-1, John Belitza 16-1, Ron Mor
ris 16-1 and Rolando Cruz 16- 1 /4.

Cadets Face Texas At 8p.n
A big chapter in the 1962-63
Southwest Conference basketball
tale will probably be written in
G. Rollie White Coliseum Tuesday
night. The Aggies face league
leading Texas at 8 p.m. and, to
put mildly, this is the big one.
The Cadets will be going for
their 31st straight victory on the
home court. To get it, they’ll havft
to knock off the lads from Austin
who have a 5-0 SWC record.
For the season, the Ags and
Steers are 10-5 each.
If you look at the impressive
statistics that pour each week from
the conference record keepers, Tex
as’ only claim to individual fame is
5-9 guard Jimmy Gilbert, who has
managed to make the top scorers
list.
Gilbert’s 13.8 points per game
leave him three slots below A&M’s
Bennie Lenox, who has a 17.0
norm, but apparently the Steers
aren’t too interested in fielding
a group of standouts.
Unfortunately, they just like to
win games, especially against
league foes. It’s unlikely that
they will change that policy when
they come to Aggieland.
Along with Gilbert, Coach Harold
Bradley is expected to start 6-1
guard Mike Humphrey; forwards
Joe Fisher and Joe Franks, 6-7
and 6-5 respectively; and 6-8 cen
ter Mike Humphrey.
Aggie mentor Bob Rogers points
out that Texas fields such a strong
team that they can run a relative
ly simple offense. Simple, yes,
but rather devestating.
Rogers looks for a switching
man-for-man defense.
Probably the main secret to the
Steers’ success is their awesome
depth in height and ability. Guys
like John Fultz, Jack Dugan and
John Heller give Bradley a bench
that most coaches would be start
ing.
The Cadets will have their backs
to the conference wall. For all
practical purposes, a loss Tues
day night will cancel theirs and
Hogs Steal 66 - 55 Win
As Ag Shooting Goes Stale
The normally dead-eye field-goal
shooting Cadets ' suddenly went
stale as a week-old cake Satur
day afternoon and dropped a cru
cial Southwest Conference game to
a pack of comeback-hungry Arkan
sas Razorbacks, 66-55, in Fayette
ville.
Aggie mentor Bob Rogers said
Sunday that it was not what he
considers a good basketball game.
He pointed out that neither team
played very well.
“But they played well enough
to beat us, and that’s what counts
in the end,” he told a television
audience.
Whether it was the unfamiliar
time of the day (2 p.m.), Barnhill
Fieldhouse, or just one of those
proverbial bqd days doesn’t bear
worrying about now. The fact
remains that the Ags were knocked
down into a tie for second place
in the SWC with Arkansas and
Rice, while the carefree Texas
Longhorns kept their league re
cord and lead umblemished by
trouncing TCU, 73-56, that same
day.
SWC’s second leading scorer
Tommy Boyer and suprising team
mate Larry Wofford dealt most
of the misery to the Aggies.
Boyer was expected to be tough,
especially on free throws, since
he is second natioiially over the
season in that department. But
he came through with some deves
tating field goal shooting, including
five outside shots.
Boyer had 24 points to lead
everybody on eight from the floor
and eight of 10 at the charity line.
Wofford, the lad Rogers called
“the most improved player in the
conference,” racked up 17 counters
against A&M. He hurt the Cadets
badly from the outside, hitting
seven field goals and three of five
free tosses.
It seemed like the Ags could
never get started and when they
did start a late bid, quick Skippy
Coffman, a senior guard, connected
on a layup and a.free throw. Then
he stole a pass and gave the ball
to Wofford under the bucket for
two more with about one minute
left.
- Bennie Lenox was held to a pair
of field goals. He hit 10 of a
13 gratis shots to make it all add
to 14 and high mark for the Ags.
Consistent Jerry Windham had five
from the floor and three of five
free throws.
The hapless Cadets got a meager
27 per cent in the field goal de
partment with 15 of 55 attempts.
They hit on 25 of 32 free tosses
for 78 per cent. The Hogs had
25 of 56 from the floor for 45
per cent accuracy. They hit 73
per cent of their free throws.
Rogers said he had trouble
matching Glen Rose’s lads size ^or
size. The Razorbacks started four
lads who stood 6-6. Boyer was
tough in the early stages of the
game because the Ags didn’t have
a man tall enough on him.
More of the story is told when
we see that the Aggies’ usual
rebounding prowess was almost
matched. The Ags took of 43 and
Arkansas grabbed 40.
GOOD!
They’re the Goodest!

THE BELL TELEPHONE COMPANIES
SALUTE: WALTER WILEY
The application of computer techniques to telephone ac
counting procedures demands imagination and originality.
Walter Wiley (B.S., Commerce, 1958) has both in abun
dance. Walt is a Methods Accountant with Southwestern
Bell in St. Louis.
Walt qualified for his latest promotion by showing what
he could do on earlier assignments. On one, he skillfully
supervised a transition "from written invent ory records to
punched cards, training and directing the 20 people needed
for the job.
Walt decides how the computer can best handle a task,
then writes instructions for both the machine and the
people who operate it. Seeing the computer carry out his
programs swiftly and at a savings to his company is to
Walt both gratifying and rewarding.
Walter Wiley and other young men like him in Bell
Telephone Companies throughout the country help bring
the finest communications'service in the world to the homes
and businesses of a growing America.
