A&M University’s Freshman Drill Team returned Sunday from its largest competitive venture—the fourth annual Aero space and Arizona Days celebra tion at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base near Tucson. The Aggies went winless in the contest, which pitted them against 28 more experienced teams. With a few exceptions, most of the teams came from ROTC units at schools in the western third of the United ^ States. Top honors went to Howard University in Washington, D.C., Colorado State University and the University of Colorado. THE A&M GROUP, the only outfit made up entirely of fresh men, gave a good account of themselves. Capt. Calvin Reese, assistant to the commandant and drill team advisor, said the Aggies drew vigorous applause from the thousands of persons attending Arizona Days. “Our boys looked good out there,” Captain Reese added. “We are well pleased with their performance.” The contest had three phases in the class for men’s teams with arms. They were personal and arms inspection, basic drill, and precision or exhibition drill. The Aerospace and Arizona Days event was sponsored by the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Tucson Chamber of Commerce and the University of Arizona Air Force ROTC. STATES REPRESENTED in the contest were Texas, Oregon, Utah, California, North Dakota, Montana, Colorado, New Mexico. Washington, Wyoming and the District of Columbia. Captain Reese said the Fresh man Drill Team plans to com pete in a large invitational drill meet Feb. 22 at Purdue Uni versity and the Louisiana State University Southern Invitational Drill Meet March 21. The Aggies have won the LSU contest for the past two years. The team is commanded by Richard W. Grossenbacher of San Antonio, and Marvin Simp son III of Forth Worth is execu tive officer. Transportation to and from Arizona was provided by a C-119 of the 446th Troop Carrier Wing, an Air Force Reserve unit at Ellington AFB, and a C-54 from Davis-Monthan AFB.
