THE BATTALION
Crazy To Be A Mel Fan?
Psychiatrist Says It Helps
By WILL GRIMSLEY
Associated Press Sports Writer
"SHE WAS ONLY
THE DEAN OF MEN'S
DAUGHTER"
(But oh what a record she made)
The only trouble is, it’s been
banned. From the radio at least.
In fact, the whole darn Capitol
album, "Campus Confidential”
by the Four Preps, has been
banned. "She Was Only the
Dean of Men’s Daughter” and
the other numbers, like “Prin
cess Poo-poo-ly Has Plenty
Papaya” are just a little too,..
well, colorful for air play.
This album was recorded dur
ing a Four Preps Concert at
UCLA. Their performance was
wildly appreciated by the stu
dents, and we strongly suspect it
will be wildly appreciated by
everyone who hears it on this
new Capitol release. (With the
sole exception of radio station
owners who want to keep their
stations on the air.)
So slip into your nearest rec
ord store for "Campus Confi
dential” on Capitol. (In plain
brown wrapper, of course.)
(R S. Look for the Four Preps in
concert on your campus.)

You don’t have ta be nuts to
b*e a Met baseball fan, but it
helps. This is a scientific fact.
We grot it straight from the psy
chiatrist’s couch.
Tutrigued by repeated sugges-
tioras that the new breed now
whooping it up for Casey Stengel’s
regaunuffin Polo Grounders con
sists of a weird mixture of com
plexes and suppressed desires, we
decided to find out for ourselves.
We called the American Mental
Health Foundation, Inc.
The foundation referred us to
Wladimir G. Eliasberg, M. • D.,
Ph. D., psychiatrist, nsycoanalyst,
psychologist, in New York.
CERTAINLY, said the doctor, a
graying, bespectacled man with a
reserved, scholarly manner, there
is some basis for calling the Mets
fans complex-ridden.
IS IT ABNORMAL the doctor
was asked, for people suddenly to
go wild over an inept, chronically
losing baseball team which is
struggling to stay out of the cel
lar?
What makes grandmothers de
sert their knitting and become
raving maniacs behind third base?
What makes grown men spend
hours printing huge signs which
say: “Mets—You’re Lovable” and
youngsters play hookey just to get
an autograph of graying, old Duke
Snider or belly-sliding Choo-Choo
Coleman ?
“It is mass . suggestion,” said
Dr. Eliasberg, leaning back in the
swivel-chair of his elegantly up
holstered and carpeted office.
“It’s a ‘mathematical’ situation
with passions multiplied by the
en-masse factor.
“It is as contagious as a disease.
When a group stands up and yells
wildly—as the Met fans do— no
one dares not to follow suit, Fail
ure to do so would mean ostrac
ism.”
WHY THE Mets? Why don't
these people unleash their im
prisoned emotions on some other
team?
“It is characteristic that masses
latch on to a cause tha.t apparently
is destined for defeat,” the psy
chiatrist explained. “With them
there is no such thing as frustra
tion. They like to grab a lowly
cause and carry it to victory.”
Did the moving of the Giants
and Dodgers to the Pacific Coast
have anything to do with the
growth of this violent new base
ball spirit?
“Assuredly,” the doctor said.
“This is the mechanism of rejec
tion. When the Giants and Dodg
ers left, their fans felt like or
phaned children. There also was
some bitterness comparable to
that generated by the advent of
a younger child.”
HOW DO the Mets satisfy this
need ?
“The Mets provide a new, shiny
toy. The deserted fans can fondle
it and stick out their tongues in
vengeance with the spiteful rejoin
der: “We’ll show you’.”
And crusty, 73-year-old Casey
Stengel—does he provide the have-
nothing Met fans with the father
image ?
“It’s very important,” Dr. Eli
asberg said. “Just as in politics,
this venerable figure offers the
added comfort of a father, a lead
er who knows and can do all.”
Why don’t they cheer for the
Yankees ?
“That,” replied the doctor, with
a knowing’ smile, “is like cheering
for U. S. Steel.”
Four Changes
Made In Texas
Track Ratings
ABILENE, <A>) — Three Texas
collegians bettered 47 seconds in
the 440-yard dash last week and
this was one of four changes in
track and field rankings compiled
by the Abilene Christian College
sports information service.
Ray Saddler of Texas Southern
moved into first place in the 440
with 46.3 seconds. Saddler’s team
mate, Lester Milburn, did 46.6 and
Lynn Saunders of Abilene Chris
tian 46.9.
All moved ahead of the previ
ous leader, Ted Nelson of Texas
A&M, who had been No. 1 with
47.0.
Maurice Hobson of Texas South
ern took over the top spot in the
880-yard run with 1:51.2. Gary
Burger of Abilene Christian had
1:51.4 and Roy Gunter of Texas
1:51.3 previously.
Rex Wilson of Texas remained
atop the 120-yard high hurdles
with 14.1 but Bob Johnson of
Southern Methodist and Ronnie
Biffle of Texas Tech equalled his
mark.
Bobby May of Rice raced ahead
of McMurry’s David Bonds in the
33-yard intermediate hurdles ‘vVith
36.7. Bonds had led with 37.5.
The National Football League
averaged 128.7 plays per game
during 1962.

SWC Croup
Plans Study
Of Recruiting
The Southwest Conference Ath
letic Committee has organized a
special committee to investigate
recruiting practices in the SWC.
Dr. C. H. Groneman of A&M,
new president of the league, said
the committee was organized to
standardize recruiting in the loop
rather than look for illegalities.
The committee has been in the
formative stage for over a year
and is a result of the attempt to
create a nationally accepted let
ter of intent.
In order to have a common let
ter of intent, between conferences
as well as schools within the con
ferences, recruiting practices and
deadlines for signing players must
be as similar as possible.
Howard Grubbs, executive secre
tary of the SWC, said the commit
tee is scheduled to report back in
December. “They are charged with
the responsibility of improving
controls of overall recruiting,”
Grubbs added.
The joint letter of intent has
been approved by all major confer
ences and independents with the
exception of the service academies,
Notre Dame and the West Coast.
Alas; The Laboring Slaves
Of Gear and Ankle Wraps
By Maynard Rogers
Battalion Ass’t Sports Editor
Behold the manager and trainer.
They wor’keth till the days are
gone.
The manager washes jerseys,
socks and t-shirts and disperseth
them to the team. He chases
balls during kicking drill and be
comes tired from running too hard.
He is under constant strain from
making quicky repairs of chin
straps and cleats on the practice
field.
The trainer sweats in training
room amid the heat of the whirl
pool, rub-down ointment and blood.
He tapeth ankles of the mighty and
fleet halfback in whom the day’s
victory is depended upon. The
life of the team lies in the hands
that wraps the precious ankle.
The trainer takes the tempera
ture of the sickly lineman who is
responsible for the halfback mak
ing many touchdowns. He has to
tell the coach that the gaint is
unable to enter combat in Sat
urday’s contest. The coach sayeth
to the trainer that he does not
know what he is talking about
and he calleth the trainer a quack.
Many words are exchanged be
tween the coach and the trainer
but the coach w’inneth the battle
