A&M—New Home
Of 60-Foot Putter
By MAYNARD ROGERS
Battalion Ass’t Sports Editor
Aggieland now holds a status
in the sports world that may be
compared in Hollywood to a ring
side seat to Liz’s and Richard’s
wedding night. A&M is the “Home
of the 60-Foot Shot Putters.”
Since Danny Roberts’ tremendous
effort of 60-7 with the 16-pound
iron ball at a quadrangular track
meet in Waco Saturday with Bay
lor, Texas and Southern Methodist,
coupled with the 60-plus tosses of
teammate Randy Matson, the Ag
gies have more shot putters past
the elite mark than any other uni
versity in the nation.
Roberts said he felt pretty good
after the big throw that put him
in front of all the nation’s collegi
ate varsity weight men.
“I knew I could do it,” he said.
“All I needed was to get under
the shot for some heighth. I hope
I can stap past the 60 mark.”
The big senior from Cleveland
looked like a different man when
he stepped into the ring Saturday.
It wasn’t the same Danny Roberts
who had lost two big meets in a

row to his arch rivals, Jim Lan
caster and Frank Mazza of Baylor.
Lancaster took the Texas Re
lays with a put of 59-5 while Dan
ny finished third with 58-3%. Maz
za beat the Aggie at the San An
gelo Relays without even breaking
59 feet.
Now Roberts has his eye on the
Kansas Relays coming up this
weekend in Lawrence, Kan.
Although the Baylor boys won’t
be there, George Woods of South
ern Illinois will. Woods threw
his way past Danny for a second
place at the Texas Relays.
With the gathering of these two
men at one more meet, Roberts
looks forward to the competition
with blood in his eye and strength
in the arm.
He stated that he had laid off
his life’s blood — weight training
— during the time he was in the
slump. But Danny started back
on his program the Monday before
the Waco meet.

Keeping Houston Classic Title
May Be Hard For Lefthander
HOUSTON (A>) — History in
dicates lefty Bob Charles of New
Zealand will have difficulty as
the defending champion in the
opening Thursday of the $50,000
Houston Golf Classic.
No champion has ever repeated
in the 16-year history of the Classic
and seven of the former defenders,
including Arnold Palmer, have
failed to make the 36 or 54-hole
course.
Gary Middlecoff, the 1953 win
ner in a five-way playoff, was
the runner-up to Dave Douglas in
1954 but no other defender has
managed to finish higher than an
eighth place tie.
Charles collected $10,000 one
year ago and was the first left
hander ever to win a PGA
sponsored tournament. His 67-
66-66-69-268 set Classic records for
72 and 54 holes.
Charles, the British Open champ
ion, will be testing a new course
this year. His record 268 was
carded at the 7,021-yard par 35-
35-70 Memorial Municipal Course.
The Classic, after 11 years at Mem
orial, has moved to the 7,223-yard
par 35-36-71 Sharpstown Country
Club course.
The New Zealand bank clerk
probably will share the role as
pre-tournament favorite with Jack
Nicklaus and Dave Marr, who tied
as runner-up to Palmer in Sunday’s
Masters finish.

Aggies Win Sixth Straight;
Beat St. Mary’s Rattlers, 9’
By JIM BULTER
SAN ANTONIO — Tuesday was
a perfect day for baseball, spec
ially if you were viewing the game
through Maroon-colored glasses.
The Aggies appropriately slashed
12 hits to notch their 12th season
win, avenging an early season loss
to St. Mary’s by easing to a 9-1
victory.
FINE PITCHING was the rule
for the sixth game in a row which
coincidently is the length of the
current A&M win string. Billy
Crain and Richard Beller limited
the Rattlers to six hits and only
a pair of Aggie miscues in the
first inning kept St. Mary’s from
being shutout.
Jerry Pizzitola, George Hargett
and Bill Hancock wielded the big
sticks, getting a pair of hits each
and driving in five Cadets markers.
AN ERROR BY Frank Stark on
Jim Langley’s hot liner plus singles
by Preston Kuykendahl and Lyle
Siemer pushed across the lone Rat
tler run in the first inning.
From then on St. Mary’s bats
were silenced and had to wait until
the ninth inning before they were
allowed more than one baserun-
ner.
THE AGGIES WENT through
the first 12 hitters before getting
a safety off Rattler lefty Dickie
Franz. Lance Cobb and Crain led
off the fourth with singles. Then
three straight sacrifices by Stark,
Hargett and Pizzitola brought in
the first two Aggie runs.
The Maroon batted around in the
sixth inning for five tallies to
break the game open. Stark walk
ed, Hargett singled and Pizzitola
doubled to right field to bring in
the first run. Jerry Ballard’s run
scoring fly followed by a walk to i for four more scores.
