THE BATTALION Page 8 College Station, Texas Thursday, May 14, 1964 FROM THE Sicleli ined By JIM BUTLER Playboy Bunnies vs Mets? No Poor Aggies’ In Austin HAVE-YOUR-CAKE-AND-EAT-IT-TOO Dept. — Some body g-oofed when Texas pitcher BOB MYER was voted Player of the Year in Southwest Conference baseball action, in lieu of one of the Aggie stars. Myer started three times against the SWC champs and has yet to be around at the finish. The Cadets knocked h i m-4" out in the fifth, third and seventh CO ach is like trying to take a ser- respectively, or more appropriate ly, disrespectively. But, I guess no one expected him to beat the best . . . Earl Wilson, syndicated so ciety columnist, has it on good evi dence that the Playboy Bunnies offered to play the New York Mets. The Mets wanted a handi cap. JUST - ANOTHER -GAME ? Dept.—Equipment manager S. M. Meeks had already ordered the watches that the Aggies will re ceive for winning the conference. But he waited till after the Texas series to see whether the tickers would have “Co-” in front of “Champions.” “If we had lost to Texas,” Coach Tom Chandler said, “I’d have never worn that watch.” . . . following A&M’s 5-2 win over the Teasips last Friday, UT fans weren’t yelling “Poor Aggies.” In stead they were complaining that the ballgame should have been called after eight innings because of darkness. Heck, Texas didn’t even know what darkness was un til Frank Stark had doubled in the ninth . . . Texas coach Bibb Falk must hold some sort of record for purple passages. Getting a start ing line-up out of the crusty old mon out of Fanny Hill. But Falk’s record as a coach could withstand the eruption of Krakatoa, the Alaskan earthquake and a night in bed with a gorilla. In 21 years at the helm, Falk has won 415 games and 17 SWC titles, plus a pair of national titles . . . THE - HAND - THAT - FEEDS Dept.—The SWC poppas are catch ing hades from The Dallas Morn ing News for the strap they used to discipline a few of their kiddies, particularly SMU. It seems like the faculty representatives that govern the elite eight are against constitution, institution and pros perity since Smoo’s colors are red, white and blue. The way The News makes it sound, the faculty fathers should be investigated by the SP- CA . . . Speaking of animals, some Bayou Cougars were a little upset over the SWC vote that ruled out expansion and the University of Houston for at least a few more years. Bob Rule, Houston Post columnist wondered what the de cision would have been if Okla homa had asked for admission in stead of Houston. Probably the same as if SMU had asked for re admission ... Illini AD Slated Main Speaker For A&M All-Sports Banquet Texas A&M’s all-sports banquet will feature Ray Eliot of the University of Illinois as the princi pal speaker here Friday night. i The banquet, which starts at 6:30 p.m. in Sbisa Hall, will honor athletes of seven sports—baseball, basketball, football, golf, swim ming, tennis and track.

Annual Links Crown Lost, But Aggies Pledge Revenge GRADUATING GOLFER MIKE HIGGINS . . . copped third in SWC meet. By LANI PRESS WOOD Asst. Sports Editor Well, it had to end sometime. The fabulous championship string of A&M University golf coach Henry Ransom finally came to a halt this season. Ransom en tered the Southwest Conference scene in 1960. Until this season, the conference had not known an other golf champion besides A&M since that date. The Aggie linksters had cap tured four consecutive SWC titles and provided the conference with its individual champion three out of the past four years. This year, the A g s went into their last match with a chance to take it all but were knocked off in Austin by new champion Texas. A major factor in the Longhorn win was the large gallery of Tex as students who turned out to lend support to their club. The final SWC standings re vealed A&M in fourth place with a 2214-19% conference reading. The league was so well balanced that the Texas loss dropped the Ags there from second. This does not tell the whole story of the 1964 Aggie golf squad, how ever. The team’s three top play ers were all declared ineligible be fore the season started. Transfer technicalities and academic defi ciencies were responsible. One of the three, David Holcomb of Mis sion, has regained his eligibility and will help the club next season. How did the loss of these key cogs affect the Aggie chances this year? “We could have taken it all if just one of those three boys had been able to compete,” declares Ransom flatly. Only Mike Higgins, senior from Tomball, is due to graduate from this year’s squad. Lettermen Doug Dyer, Jay Ferguson, and Jeff An- drick will all return with an addi tional year of experience. The squad will be further strengthened by Holcomb and 1 Lee McDowell, a transfer (to Lamar Tech. Ransom has restocked thecs) board with a brace of freslitj linksters, including Bruce Mcfe mott, John Buff in, Ron Tbits, John Walker, Rod Hooks and! Dinwiddie. The future of the nation’s© ber one participator sport appo bright indeed at Aggieland. Cos Ransom, the driving force be the spectacular Ag golf sum®, highly optimistic about next a son. The SWC’s most succesd coach predicts, “Next year to going to make the rest of theoi ference eat it all again.” © aUTMORIXE* pea tea Hickman Garrett fih Notors Bryan's ONLY Authorized VOLKSWAGEN DEALER SALES • SERVICE • PARTS •rmwom Mmsi authorize* OCA VCR Service and Warranty Performed By Factory Trained TECHNICIANS 403 N.
