Longhorns Bring Out Best
Snell Smashes World Mile Stands
In Poised Aggie Safetyman
By LANI PRESSWOOD
Sports Editor
On Saturdays, Jim Willenborg
is a good football player. On
Thanksgiving Day he becomes a
great one.
Lining up against the Orange
jerseys of the Texas Longhorns
has always brought out the best
in the veteran Aggie safetyman.
In his sophomore year, Willen
borg faced the Longhorns as an
offensive signal-caller. His pass
ing was sharp and his darts
around end continually harassed
Texas defenders.
Though Texas captured the
contest, 13-3, syndicated column
ist Red Smith commented after
wards that Jim was “the best
back on the field.”
Some of the Texas backs per
forming in that game were Duke
Carlisle, Ray Poage, Jerry Cook,
and Tommy Ford.
shot his receiver and Willenborg
plucked it out of the sky and slid
out of the end zone.
The officials ruled that he had
been over the end line when he
caught the ball. Texas scored
the winning touchdown a few
plays later.
Game films refuted the call.
The current explanation being
given by Texas supporters is that
he didn’t have control of the ball
when he went out.
Inquiring reporters have asked
Willenborg about the play time
and time again. “I still think I
was in bounds,” says Jim. “When
I caught it, I just held it, I didn’t
juggle it at all.”
The 191-pound senior has been
involved in big plays on the grid
iron for some time. He started
playing football in the seventh
grade at Clifton, 30 miles north
of Waco.

. former quarterback now a topnotch safety.
Coach Hank Foldberg shifted
Willenborg to halfback his junior
year, but midway of the season
installed him at safety, where he
has been ever since.

It was at this position that he
turned in a stunning performance
against the National Champion
Steers last year. He intercepted
two aerials which killed Texas
drives and late in the fourth
quarter figured in one of the most
controversial plays in Southwest
Conference history.
The desperate Longhorns had
inserted passing artist Tommy
Wade to overtake the leading Ag
gies. One of Wade’s aerials over-
He and the game got along so
well that by the time of his grad
uation, he had racked up all-state
honors on several of the annually
selected teams. He also made the
Super Centex team of the Waco
Tribune Herald. He guided Clif
ton to the Class A quarterfinals
his senior year.
Willenborg didn’t confine his
talents to the football field, how
ever. He was an all-stater in bas
ketball, a topflight baseball hurl-
er, and a relay performer in
track.
Every SWC school but Arkan
sas tried to procure his services
after graduation. A&M won the
recruiting race and has never
been sorry.
Foldberg ranks the two - year
letterman with the conference’s
best. “Jim has real good football
savvy, he continually tries to
think ahead of the opposing quar
terback. This and his fine ath
letic ability enable him to keep
in position.”
The witty accounting major is
due to graduate in May. To make
it Jim is taking 37 hours this
year, 18 of them this fall. He was
recently selected to “Who’s Who
In American Universities.”
The Willenborg home is a house
divided every Thanksgiving. Jim
has two brothers and a sister at
Texas and another sister who
graduated from the Austin school.
Willenborg is engaged to a
Clifton girl and a spring or sum
mer marriage is in his plans. Also
in his plans is a football encoun
ter in Austin next week.

“I always think we can beat

them than anybody. I hate Texas
so much it may have been the
reason I came to A&M.”
Words like that make a coach’s
job easy.

Dear Aggies:
One of the finest opportunities for a completely different education is now
availaole to Aggies and Maggies through the MSC Travel Committee. This
different kind of education is a M Learn As You Travel Abroad” program. The
Travel Committee of the Memorial Student Center nas several programs for students
wiio want to live, travel, or work overseas next summer.
If you are interested in tne possioility of spending next summer overseas you
are invited to visit with tne Travel Committee tonignt at 7:30 in the Assembly
Room of the MSC. Three distinguished guests will be present, each with a
program for living or working overseas during tne summer vacation of 1965.
The Experiment ih International Living furnisnes homes in Europe, South America,
Asia, Africa, and Australia for the members of their program. You can become a
member of a family for tne summer, living in their home. The EIL is one of tne
most popular programs of this type today. The culture, the society, and the
mores of your new "home” are only a part of the experience of living abroad.
Operation Crossroads Africa is a working-type project. Last summer one of our
Aggies spent the summer in Egypt teaching swimming to the children of Cairo.
Other projects are available to fit your talents and a certain amount of free
time is available for sightseeing.
Summer jobs abroad will oe a limited program for Aggies who would like to work
during the summer. With the co-operation of the MSC Travel Committee a limited
number of jobs will be available in Europe next summer. Since this program will
not be able to fulfill all applications for jobs, I suggest that if you are
interested you make application tonight.
Three programs, three opportunities to live, work, or travel overseas next
summer. This is the chance to be a part of a program that is gaining in
popularity year after year. Die time to do it is now while tne opportunities
are still available. YOU CANNOT AFFORD NOT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THESE PROGRAMS.
Ten Aggies who nave taken advantage of the program will oe present to answer
questions and tell about their summers abroad.
See you tonight at 7:30 in the Assembly Room of the MSC.

MSC Travel Committee

fewer spectators were able to at
tend. The varsity triumphed in
each of them but was given a run
for its money.
The scores were 93-74, 70-67, 78-
73.
In another experiment, the
freshmen will be donned in color
ful high-topped socks similar to
those worn by the professional
cage teams.
The Brazos A&M Club will at
tend the contest and consider it the
main program for their regular
meeting. There is no admission

gies are welcome to get an early
glimpse of this year’s ball clubs.
