FROM THE Sicteiii ines By MAYNARD ROGERS One of A&M’s or at least the athletic department’s most respected institutions, Smokey Harper of the trainer and philosopher set, has been known to be a tough and hard individual, and a guy that you have to prove yourself to before he takes any stock in you at all. 01’ Smoke’s judgment of character has carried many coaches through a lot of seasons from football to track in his 36 years in the business. And a lot of people around the sports circles have a lot of respect for the white-haired, 65-year-old talker who has worked for more schools around the country than the New York Yankees have won pennants. Some of those schools were UCLA, Stanford, Kentucky, Alabama, Vanderbilt, Florida and Clemson. A lot of those teams went to the Rose Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Orange Bowl and Gator Bowl while Smokey was at the helm of the tape and bandage corps. Yes, his knowledge and ability with athletes has taken Smokey to the peak in the sports world. Not only has Harper been known to be a confidant for the boys he oversees, but as one of his colleagues put it: “Smokey has been known to talk more boys out of injuries than any other guy in the business.” And since Smokey came to Aggieland with Paul (Bear) Bryant in 1954, his gift of gab has soothed many injuries and ailments, and has put a big fire in a lot of athletes. Holding the confidence of coaches is another one of Smokey’s attributes. A story from Harold Ratliff, Associ ated Press sports writer, tells about the time a certain coach got into an argument with the Bear, but the assistant was too afraid of Bryant to do much about the situation. So, he went to Smokey. “Smokey,” the assistant cried, “I’m so mad at Bear, do you know what I’m going to do? I’m going home, walk into the bathroom and lock the door. Then you watch me give that so-and-so hell.’ Well, last Saturday it looked like Smokey was finally going to choke up for the cake of sentimental reasons. It was after he was given a plaque by the Southwest Athletic Trainers Assn, recognizing his retirement this June after a long, outstanding career among athletes, at a break fast at the Driskill Hotel in Austin. Smokey was also nomi nated by the trainers to the Helms All-America Foundation for his contribution to athletics. But nobody would mind him choking up for that. pring . . . these crisp, cool shorts go anywhere in lose from a Rally of Spring Shades and Fabrics including long-wearing blends of 65% “Dacron”* polyester and 35% combed cotton. * DuPont’s Reg.

SENIOR FIRSTSACKER Frank Stark was the jockey that kept the Mustangs from the winner’s circle in Travis Park. Stark belt ed a 400-foot drive over the right centerfield fence to account for A&M’s first two runs, then dou bled and scored the winning tally in the bottom of the ninth. Up to that point it had been strictly a pitcher’s battle between a pair of sophomore portsiders— Steve Hillhouse for the Aggies and Bob Bohren for SMU. HILLHOUSE PITCHED his sec ond straight complete game with out giving up an earned run. He went the distance in beating Tex as 5-2 with both runs the result of errors and it was the same story Tuesday. Both wins were seven-hitters. Hillhouse struck out six and walked none in pulling his SWC record to 2-1. Bohren was nearly as effective, limiting the strong- hitting Cadets to seven safeties until the fatal ninth. THE AGGIES threatened in the first inning when Bohren walked Jerry Ballard and Billy Crain. Bal lard was thrown out trying to steal just before Bill Hancock lined a double to right center. But Bohren left the runners stranded, retiring Lance Cobb on a deep fly to left. The Aggie bats were silenced until the fourth inning when Cobb led off with a double to the cen terfield fence. Robert McAdams struck out. Then Stark smashed his home run driving in Cobb and making the score 2-0. SMU CAUGHT UP in the fifth when Charles McCallum reached first on an error by George Har gett. After two were out, catcher J. W. Davis doubled to right cen ter scoring McCallum. Bohren followed with a double to left field bringing’ in Davis. The pitchers took control until the eighth frame. Crain singled and Cobb lined his second two- bagger to left field putting run ners on second and third. But Bohren got out of the jam by striking out McAdams to end the inning. Sonny-Cassius Film Televised Saturday NEW YORK (A*)—Films of the controversial Cassius Clay - Sonny Liston heavyweight championship fight, previously shown only on closed circuit television, will be televised Saturday on the ABC Wide World of Spoils program.

Main Bryan SMU TRIED TO make their final chance a productive one get ting runners to second and third with one out in the top of the ninth. Danny Thomas was safe on Hargett’s second misplay, followed by McCallum’s single and steal of second. Hillhouse, showing all the poise of a Warren Spahn, got pinch- hitter Larry Jernigan to pop-up to second base and Davis to ground out. STARK THEN LED off the last of the ninth with a double to the left centerfield fence. And Har gett redeemed himself by slash ing the first pitch down the right- field line driving in Stark and giving the Aggies victory. A&M now stands 3-2 in confer ence play, one-half game behind co-leaders Texas and Baylor, each with 3-1 records. Coach Toe Chandler’s Cadets are 9-5 on tli season. THE LOSS knocked SMU into last place with a 1-2 record. Hargett paced the Aggie attad with three hits in four trips to tie plate. Stark and Cobb were two. for-four while Crain was one-fot. three and Hancock one-for-four, Shortstop Tom Hillary was tie only Mustang to get two hits. He had a pair of singles in four tries, CRAIN, YOUNGER brother of pitcher John Crain, made the out standing defensive play of tie game when he m a d e a perfect throw from left field to catcher Hancock to cut down Ponie Star, Wetzel at the plate in the sixtl inning. The Aggies next play TCU Fri day and Saturday in Bryan.
