THE BATTALION
Candy Spots Picked To Win
87th Preakness Saturday
BALTIMORE (A>)—The buzzing
over whether Chateaugay, Never
Bend or Candy Spots is likely to
cop the richest prize for 3-year-
olds, the 87th Preakness on Satur
day, continued unabated Thursday
despite the entry of five others.
The one mild surprise entry,
William B. Robinson’s Rural Re
treat, did nothing to change the
majority opinion that the scrap at
the end of the 1 3/16-mile race will
be among the leading trio from the
Kentucky Derby.
MOST STUDENTS of form
around Pimlico considered Rural
ARMY, WHAT IS AGGIELAND TO YOU?
Aggieland means many different things to many
different people. To some it is the place they met their
lifetime friends and received their formal education,
to others it is the place they learned how to be a man
and to get along with their fellow man.
Although Aggieland may have a special meaning
for each Aggie, all have memories of yelling for that
Fightiu’ Aggie Team as we beat T. U. or of singing The
Twelfth Man when we didn't yell loud enough.
Army, when we go home after these finals let’s
throw our chests out and tell the world that we are proud
to be a Fightin’ Texas Aggie. Let’s keep alive the
heritage left to us by our buddies we’ve honored with
Silver Taps who are no longer able to share it with us.

Retreat’s entry as merely adding
$1,000 to the pot. If Robinson
wants to go for a second $1,000
for starting, there will be $180,000
to distribute with the winner’s
share $127,500.
That’s mighty rich for Rural
Retreat’s blood. He’s won two out
of 16 races for total earnings of
$11,506.
BY CONTRAST, Chateaugay
has put $134,770 in the pocket of
John W. Galbreath of Columbus,
Ohio, so far this year. Harry F>.
Guggenheim of New York is richer
by $527,000 from the performances
of Never Bend with his second year
of racing less than five months
gone, and Rex Ellsworth of Cali
fornia has counted $349,000 from
only seven races by Candy Spots.
The probable odds will start on
the tote board Saturday with
Candy Spots 7-5, Chateaugay and
Never Bend 5-2. It will be up to
the bettors after that to decide.

GRAND OLD MAN
Smokey Harper aids\ ailing athletes
when it comes to taking care ' of
the Texas Aggie football players.
The veteran "trainer watches with
an eagle eye the injuries that occur
and sees that they are taken care
of.
During the pre-season football
workouts, Smokey is always on
hand with a cold towel to wet
down some overheated gridder.
When someone gets hurts or
comes down with the cold, Harper
makes darn sure they ai’e in good
condition before he lets them back
on the practice field.
If a player gets hurt on the
field during practice, he is always
there in a hurry and will stay with
the boy till he gets treatment.
Smokey came to A&M in 1954
from Kentucky with Paul “Bear”
Bryant. Since then, he has wor*ked
under Jim Myers, and Coach Hank
Foldberg is still employing his
services.
The grand oF man of the Aggie
training room has been in the tape
and pill business for 36 years.

PHILADELPHIA <A>> — Big
time professional basketball is
coming back to Philadelphia, but
fans here don’t know whom they
should thank.
A cloak of secrecy was thrown
around the new owners after it
was announced that the franchise
of the Syracuse Nationals in the
National Basketball Association
had been sold to them for $500,000.
The sale and move must be co
firmed by the NBA directors. This
is routirle and will take place at
a meeting called by Maurice Po-
doloff, outgoing NBA president, in
New York next Wednesday.
PODOLOFF also declined to
throw any light on the identity of
the new owners.
Isaac Richman, a member of
the Philadelphia law firm of Rich-
man, Price and Jamieson which

handled the sale, merely described
the combine as a group of Phila
delphia businessmen not previously
associated with sports.
He said definitely not a member
was Eddie Gottlieb, former own
er of the Philadelphia Warriors
franchise which was moved to
San Francisco before last season.
DAN BIASONE, owner of the
Syracuse Nationals, said he had to
sell because “it simply got to be
impossible to operate.” The Nats
have been members of the NBA
since it was formed 17 years ago.
Biasone said the cost of operat
ing the club in Syracuse amount
ed to $366,000 last season and
promised to reach $500,000 next
year. He added that the club
stood to lose $100,000 if it stayed
in Syracuse.
Dale (House) Easley led the
University of Washington basket
ball team in scoring last season
with 395 points in 26 games.

says Scipio (Wahoo) Maximus, dynamic cheer leader of the Coliseum Gladiators. “Hipus, hipus, hoorayo!”
yells Wahoo, “and ties cheers for our favorite cigarette, Dual Filter Tareyton. Vero, here’s flavor—de gustibus you
