THE BATTALION Page 4 College Station, Texas Friday, February 1,1! Cadets Host Hogs Saturday By JIM BUTLER Battalion Sports Editor “Speak softly and carry a big stick” isn’t exactly the Aggie phil osophy and cage coach Shelby Met calf is glad it isn’t. The A&M student body is ren owned throughout the Southwest Conference for the hard times it gives opponents in G. Rollie White Coliseum. Metcalf credits this loud harangue with much of the Aggies' home court success. “We have to win every home game to win the conference,” Metcalf said. “And we need a full turnout of the student body to help us accomplish this.” SATURDAY NIGHT will pro vide the next opportunity for the students to turn out in force as the Aggies host the dangerous Arkansas Razorbacks. The Hogs are 3-2 in SWC play and repre sent formidable opposition for the Cadets who stand atop the lea gue with a perfect 5-0 record. Arkansas holds victories over PROM THE Sidelined By JIM BUTLER The white slopes of Innsbruck, Austria, are fast becom ing a bad memory for the United States Olympic team and for American sports fans keeping up with the Russian- dominated Winter Games. This 1964 edition of the ski, skating, and toboggan international competition is a vivid illustration of Uncle Sam’s inadequacy to hold his own in the world athletic picture. A reversal of this trend is nearly impossible under existing circumstances. Part of the reason is obvious. The U. S. is out of its element. The gold medals are taken off by the Soviet Union, Austria, Germany and the Scandinavian countries, all of which live under winter conditions for a much longer period than Americans. This discrepancy can be overcome with a little effort on the part of the U. S. Olympic Committee, effort directed at securing talent and qualified coaches to develop this talent. It is at this point the problem arises. For nearly two years, the National Collegiate Athletic Union and the Amateur Athletic Union have been feuding over standards determining the status of amateurs. The NCAA governs college sports while the AAU has control over all amateur athletes. The AAU claims that NCAA rules are too lenient, allowing college competitors to engage in activities that make them ineligible for compe tition under the auspices of the AAU. The NCAA claims that the stringent rules of the AAU make amateur standing undesirable thereby losing many top athletes. Thus athletes are caught in the middle of this senseless turmoil and seldom know where they stand. This trivial squabbling causes many representatives to feel that their country isn’t fully behind them and hardly gives them the needed incentive for a top flight performance. Add to this the fact that U. S. Olympic teams depend on a large part of their financial support coming from donations which are pitifully small. Yet words like “dis graceful” and “humiliating” abound in press reports of the Winter Olympics when referring to the tremendous beating being absorbed by the Americans. These words would much better apply to the amateur athletic condition in the country and to the support given our representatives. Texas and TCU in Fayetteville while conquering Baylor in Waco. The Porkers hit on 75 per cent of their shots in the second half against Baylor. Their losses have been to Texas Tech in Lubbock and Rice in Fayetteville. ARKANSAS SPORTS its usual accurate free throw shooting rank ing annually among the best in the nation. Coach Glen Rose has added a potent outside attack. The Cadets have had trouble with long range artists this year, most rec ently with Herb Steinkamp, the fine Rice guard, and Houston’s two outside men Chet Oliver and Jack Margenthaler. So the Cadets will have to ti their best to stiffle Arkansas: tance men. A&M WILL HAVE a Volum advantage with the Hogs’ tai men being only 6-6 while the I gies are sporting John Bea; at 6-8 and Tim Timmerman: Bill Robinette at 6-7. The Cadets need wins over; kansas and Texas Tech whomii play in Lubbock Tuesday nijlt order to come through the f: half of conference play with®: loss. Tip-off time is 8 o’clock Saft day night.

LYNCH As Unit Manager for the Houston, Texas, business office of Southwestern Bell, A. J. Lynch (B.B.A., 1959) is respon sible for the accounts of over 37,000 customers. This re sponsibility includes the collecting of $600,000 monthly, as well as maintaining high-quality service. A. J. moved into his present position from two pre vious successful assignments. For A. J., the telephone busi ness offers a career with a challenge. And he intends to make the most of it. A. J. measures progress on the basis of how many of his own ideas are put into use. He gains the greatest per sonal satisfaction from improving operations. Of course, the extra money that goes with increased responsibility is an added inducement to his creativity. A. J. Lynch, like many young men, is impatient to make things happen for his company and himself. There are few places where such restlessness is more welcomed or rewarded than in the fast-growing telephone business.
