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.

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.

ARKANSAS SPORTS its usual

ing annually among the best in

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

THE BELL TELEPHONE COMPANIES
SALUTE: A. J. 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.
