SPIRITED SPRING SESSION
A&M’s Football Future Finer
BY MAYNARD ROGERS
With 24 returning lettermen,
including 15 seniors, generating
some spirit this spring, Coach
Hank Foldberg and his staff will
point to the 1964 Aggie football
campaign with ‘’guarded opti
mism.”
That catch - allp HHHMHMHaH||MN||a |
phrase has been
the outlook for
Aggie football
teams in many
passed seasons,
but after Fold-
bergs’s most en
thusiastic spring
session since his I
arrival to the
Brazos Bottom
the Aggie task- McLEAN
master feels things may be look
ing better.
Foldberg and his staff, moving
into their third A&M season, con
tend they had the finest spring
training since they’ve been here,
primarily because of the squad’s
attitude, spirit and dedication.
Those three words — attitude,
spirit and dedication — have be
come as much of a way of life in
the A&M Athletic Dept, lately as
wind sprints after practice, and
they did a lot in bringing South
west Conference basketball and
baseball championships to Aggie-
land.
After a disappointing season
in 1963 that produced a 2-7-1 rec
ord, the Maroon can’t help but
want something more in ’64, and
Foldberg and the squad believe
they can get it.
For the second straight season,
the Aggie eleven will open with
four tough opponents that could
kill some teams
for the rest of
the year. Marked
in order are
LSU, University
of Houston, Tex
as Tech and
Southern C a 1 i -
fomia.
But the Aggies
will be drawing
from a fine
McILHANEY freshman team
of last fall for the needed depth
in the early season games.
Shuffling of positions during
the spring for balance and
smoother attack was made by
some players, and with little or
no trouble in the transitions.
Budgie Ford switched from
halfback to fullback, and should
run tough inside or in daylight.
Guard Melvin Simmons moved to
tackle for added strength in a
formerly weak position, and Ken
McLean jumped back to his old
playing slot at end from fullback.
The quarterback slot is in the
best situation since Hank’s ar
rival. Pasadena senior Danny
Mcllhaney is number one boy,
with size, speed, strength and
savvy. His poise keeps him ahead
of challengers Jim Willenborg,
Charles LaGrange, Eddie Mc-
Kaughan and Harry Ledbetter.
Maroon Judo Aces
Set For AAU Meet
The A&M University Judo Club
journeys to Bastrop Saturday to
compete in the state AAU judo
meet.
Last Saturday, the club met
James Connally Air Force Base in
Waco in a series of informal
matches. Prior to the matches in
Waco, a pair of local black belt
instructors held a clinic for the
Aggies.
The Ags are paced by Lee Tay
lor and Larry Stephens, the club’s
black belt player-coach.

Future Aggies
Star In Track
They say it’s the little things in
life that count, but some of the big
things can’t exactly be sneezed at.
Like for instance a pair of high
school seniors who are on their
way to Aggieland—Rotan’s How
ard Van Loon and Greenville’s
Max Mainord.
The final state track marks
show both to be at the top or near
the top in their specialty. Yet nei
ther will own a cinderman scholar
ship.
Van Loon is a football future
but holds the best mark in Texas
and the nation in the shot put—
64-5%. Mainord is a product of
basketball coach Shelby Metcalf’s
efforts. The 6-4 jumping jack also
has high jumped 6-5, good enough
for second ranking in state rec
ords.
Track coach Charley Thomas
should be smiling.
Mainord was an all-state eager
for two years in Class AAA, all
district three years and the most
valuable player in the East Texas
basketball tourney. The Greenville
star, who was sought by more than
40 colleges, averaged 17 points per
game in three years of competition.

Mays Held Hitless
As Colts Win 4-3;
Take Giant Series
HOUSTON (A>> —Willie Mays
was held hitless for the first time
in 21 games as the Houston Colts
edged the National League leading
San Francisco Giants 4-3 Thursday
night on A1 Spangler’s tie-break
ing single in the eighth inning.
Mays was handcuffed in four
trips to the plate by Bob Brace
as his average plummeted 19
points to .449. It was the first
time Mays had been held hitless
since April 16, when he was
stopped by St. Louis’ Curt Sim
mons in the third game of the
season.
Bruce struck out 10 and brought
his record to 4-1 with Hal Woode-
shick’s relief help in the ninth.
The Colts scored the winning
ran in the eighth when John Bate
man led off with a walk against
Bob Shaw Billy Pierce then took
over for the Giants. Pete Runnels
batted for Bruce and hit into a
force play. Eddie Kasko then sin
gled to right and Runnels raced to
third when Matty Alou fumbled
the ball. One out later, Spangler
singled.
Toney Penna, a native of
Italy, is regarded as one of j
nation’s foremost designers

We’d like to say some nice things
about America’s young adult drivers
And we think we’ve got good reason! Last January, we selected
twenty 18- and 19-year-old young men and women through the
Junior Achievement program to drive our team of Chevrolets in
the Mobil Economy Run, April 3-9. It was the first time any
company had relied entirely on drivers with limited experience in
this exacting competition.
We brought these young
adults—most of them college
students, some from the busi
ness world — to Arcadia,
California, in late February.
For six weeks, our expert
teachers trained them in the
skills of economy driving.
Then, on April 3, they set off
on the Run, 3,243 miles from
Los Angeles to New York.
We were going against the
grain. It takes high profi
ciency to win the Mobil
Economy Run. Competition
is tough. Why did we rely
on drivers with such limited
experience?
Chevrolet wanted to give
the Chevy Teen Team a
chance to prove in front of
the nation that they and the
6.5 million licensed drivers in
their age bracket are safe,
sane people behind the wheel.
We felt the Run offered a
splendid chance.
The Corvair, Chevy IIs,
Chevelles and Chevrolets
driven by the Chevy Teen
Team in the Mobil Economy
Run did remarkably well
compared with the class
winners in overall miles-per-
galion figures. The final
results are a tribute to the
high degree of driving skill
displayed by the Chevy Teen
Team representing the youth
of America.
No wonder we’re proud of
America’s young adult
drivers. We couldn’t have a
better reason.
