Page 4 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Tuesday, May 12, 1964 Ags Take League Frosh Track Title With Randy Matson apologizing for beating the freshman shot rec ord by almost nine feet and the discus standard by 20 feet, and James White turning in fine sprint performances, the Aggie Fish won the Southwest Conference fresh man track and field meet in Lub bock Friday and Saturday. Matson’s heave of the iron ball was 63-514, which surpassed the 54-7% by Jim Lancaster of Baylor in 1962. His sling of the discus measured 176-9%, bettering the old mark of 156-10% set by A&M’s Danny Roberts in 1961. White paced the Fish in points with 12% by taking second in the 100-yard dash and setting a record in the 220 around the curve in 21.6. He also anchored A&M’s third place 440 baton team which turned a 41.6. White’s greatest feat of the day was a blazing 47.2 leg on the mile relay, a performance that won the meet for the Fish. The Aggies fin ished second in the baton race with the team of Darrell Wilk, White, Buddy Woodall and Larry Mc- Gough timed at 3:17.4 behind Bay lor. A&M, with the second place in the mile relay which was needed to take the meet, tallied a final 62 points to the Cubs’ 58. Texas fin ished third with 46 and Arkansas fourth. With Matson’s efforts, combined with Mike Schrider’s and Buddy Woodall’s, the Fish held a large lead Friday after the field events were completed. The Aggies had earned 32 points, 16 ahead of the second team, on the first day of competition. Woodall won the broad jump in a 23-6 leap, and Sanford Ussery took third with a 22-2 mark. Schri- der claimed the high jump event on a 6-3% effort while Stephen Holtz placed fifth at 6-0. Schrider also placed fifth in the broad jump. Besides Matson’s first in the dis cus, the Aggies scored a third with Jack Pyburn’s 145-4%. Donny Ayers also finished fourth in the javelin with a 168-5% toss and Earl Edwars vaulted 12-6 for a fourth in the pole vault. Saturday’s races began with Baylor making a bid for the title in the running events. But a third in the 440-yard dash by Larry McGough in 48.5 and White’s efforts in the sprints pulled the Aggies ahead. Robert Ginsbach, the lone Aggie Fish hurdler, finished fourth in the 440-yard barriers and fifth in the 120-yard high hurdles. Don Smith added a fifth place point in the mile, and the Aggies took the title. ■ ■ I? RANDY’S RECORD-BREAKER ... sets discus mark, too. | Nelson Sprints J 1 To SWC Record Southern Methodist’s John Rod erick stole the show, Rice won the meet, and the best the Aggies could do was two firsts for a sixth place in the Southwest Conference track and field meet in Lubbock Friday and Saturday. It was a clear-cut victory for the Owls as they placed in 12 of 16 events for 61 points to beat the top contender Texas who posted 52. SMU marked 43 points, de spite winning three events, for third place, Baylor scored 34, Ar kansas had 30 for fifth and the Aggies tallied for 28 for sixth. Texas Tech scored 21 and hapless Texas Christian managed one. The Aggies’ two first places came by way of a record-breaking 46.6 in the 440-yard dash by An drews ace Ted Nelson and a 168-3 discus spin by Maroon weightman Danny Roberts. It was the third year in a row the big senior won the conference platter spin. Nelson’s tremendous race, the fastest ran by a collegian this spring in the nation, resulted after the sprinter came blazing out of the blocks to a 21-flat first 220. The Aggie managed to hold the pace and finish ahead of Rice’s Jimmy Ellington. Roderick, who set the league looking back record in a pink T- shirt in the Friday preliminaries, gave SMU coach McAdoo Keaton the finest retirement present any one could ask. The flashy footballer-sprinter blasted off in the 100-yard dash to a 9.3 record, and later beat his teammate Billy Foster in the 220 around the curve in 21.0 for an other SWC standard. Foster, last season’s sprint champ, and Roderick pushed the Pony baton crew to a 40.1 440-yard relay mark, one tenth of a second off the world record. Roberts suffered a big loss in the shot put as he tried to make a bid for a SWC sweep in the weights. Jim Lancaster and Frank Mazza, both of Baylor, slipped in front, giving the Aggies a third place 57-11%, which beat his old league mark of 57-9. Lancaster won with 58-5%. A&M’s John Collins copped a second in the high jump at 6-4, while Cecil Wood leaped 6-2 for a fourth place. Bob Brown man aged a fourth place in the broad jump with a 23-1 spring. David Glover hurled the discus 150-% for a third place and a team of Robert Martin, Jim R u n g e, Richard Hall and Nelson tied the school 440-yard relay mark of 41.2 for a fifth place.

SMU, Longhorns Draw Probations BY MAYNARD ROGERS Sports Editor Southern Methodist and the Uni versity of Texas felt the stings of the Southwest Conference proba tionary whip last weekend at the SWC spring meeting in Lubbock, while Baylor and Texas Tech got a scolding in one of the most se vere actions taken in the league’s 50 year history. But, it was SMU that suffered the most in the longrun and lost its bowl rights for two years with no appeal or review of the case before that time.

Brazos Motor Co. ‘Serving the Brazos Valley for 41 years’ 1211 Texas Ave., Bryan, Texas TA 2-7009 TA 2-1965 Plymouth - Valiant - Studebaker schools, all for recruiting viola tions, Texas received the strangest verdict of them all. The Longhorns were placed on indefinite probation but still retain all post season bowl rights. The ruling, which amounted to little more than a public reprimand, will be reviewed at the end of one year. Tech and Baylor were issued of ficial public reprimands for violat ing minor recruiting laws of stag ing too many visits to a schoolboy athlete. The charges levied against Hay den Fry’s Ponies were: 1. Offering extra financial in ducements to prospects. 2. Giving financial aid to stu dents already in school. 3. Offering financial aid to prospects beyond the legal amount for room, board, tuition, books, fees and $10 a month for inci dentals. 4. Campus visitations by pros pects, financed by alumni but un accompanied by the prospects. Texas was hit for excessive en tertainment, paying for visits to the UT campus other than pros pects and the third SMU violation. The Texas charge was issued as a probation, and many conference sportswriters and publicists felt that the reason was because “pro bation” means more than a public reprimand. Then maybe the con ference is getting tougher on vio lations, or plans to in the future.

Manning City Secretary AN OPEN LETTER TO THE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN OF SOUTHAMPTON'S DEBUTANTE PARTY WE READ A STATEMENT in the press made by one of the young defendants after the court case involving alleged damages at a debutante party in Southampton, Long Island: “Every one knows there is too much drinking in this country, but what can you do about it? Every body knows the morals of this country are going down the drain.” WE THE UNDERSIGNED believe we have the answer to the young man’s question. We believe it is time our generation stopped self-righteously deploring this state of the nation or irresponsibly contributing to it. The time has come to change it. WE REPRESENT hundreds of young Americans across the nation who have committed their lives to create a new society in America and the world with the global program of Moral Re-Armament. WE ARE IN REVOLT against a society which cre ates the climate of immaturity that leads to such a debacle and to such a cynical state ment. We have got to stop it. WE ARE IN REVOLT against the gutlessness of “good” Americans who lack the courage to explode the corruption existing in all levels of our society, who sit silently while one woman forces God out of our schools, who permit men committed to atheism and anti-God to proceed unchecked, who proclaim one set of standards and live another. WE ARE IN REVOLT against the line of the “new morality” which is forced down our throats by books, magazines, television, films, profes sors and some churchmen. Sex, violence, lust and godlessness are taking over the nation. When venereal disease among young Ameri cans rises 130% between the years 1956 and 1961, when 13,000,000 children come from broken homes—who is responsible? We are. WHERE ARE THE YOUNG AMERICANS who will pay the price in their own lives to stand up for what is right in the country? Where are the fighting Americans who will cure the hatred, bitterness, impurity and selfishness which divide families, destroy races, deaden youth, split nations? THE FREE WORLD looks to us for leadership. The captive world looks to us to make freedom a reality again. We know that if America fails the world fails. WE ARE OUT TO BUILD A N ATION where fami lies teach mankind how to live together, where industry —management and labor—teach the whole world how to work together, where all races, colors and classes learn together with all nations how to lead the whole world for ward. We are out to create a force of young Americans more dedicated to building a world that works than any Communist or material ist. We will create an America to whom the whole world will turn and say, “That is the way men are meant to live.” WE BELIEVE IN MODERN AMERICA. We be lieve she will rise to the challenge of the times. We believe she will demonstrate the great re ality that free men will accept of their own accord the discipline to be governed by God, so that millions on the earth will never be ruled by tyrants. THE CHALLENGE facing the American youth is not to go backward to the decadence that de stroyed the Roman Empire, but to go forward to the revolution of Moral Re-Armament. WE CAN REBUILD THE MODERN WORLD. Let us go forward to absolute moral standards for all men everywhere: absolute honesty, purity, unselfishness and love, not as an end in them selves, but as a means for giving us the en ergy, the maturity, the responsibility, the clarity that will take humanity forward to the next stage in human evolution. THREE THOUSAND OF US are meeting this sum mer in a Conference for Tomorrow’s America at the Moral Re-Armament Center, Mackinac Island, Michigan, to shoulder that task to gether. We invite every young American who has the courage and spirit to care for his na tion and the future of mankind to join us.
