Opinion Sharply Divided On Pending Athletics Bill AUSTIN (A*) — Commisioner of Baseball Ford Frick and Warren Giles, president of the National League, said Tuesday a bill pend ing in the Texas Legislature would destroy professional baseball in the state. Three Southwest Conference ath letic directors said they agreed with the bill’s intent to prevent professional clubs from signing col lege athletes before their eligibility runs out but doubted legislation would correct the situation. Another SWC director, Texas Christian’s Abe Martin, said the proposed measure (HB261), “would certainly give a fine image of the lawmakers of Texas being inter ested in college players finishing their eligibility.” Texas Athletic Director Darrell Royal, who was caught in the middle of a controversy involving early signings when he protested the New York Jets negotiating with Longhorn end George Sauer, said, “I think it would be wise for met leave legislation up to you capable people. I know you will do what you think is right.” Frick and Giles’ protests were by telegram to the bill’s co-spon sor, Rep. DeWitt Hale, Corpus Christi. “The effect of your bill would be the abolition of profes sional baseball in Texas,” wrote Frick. An explosive 39-point perform ance by John Beasley carried the streaking Aggies past TCU, 102- 95, on a wintry Tuesday night in Fort Worth. The Cadets were down by as much as nine points in the first half but roared back in the second round to notch their third straight victory. A&M shook off the persistent Frogs midway of the second half. Leading by 76-72 at 9:30, the Ags began to steadily pull away until mounting a ten point spread, 88- 78. TCU chipped away at the lead and managed to cut it to 96-92 in the last minute of play. The des perate Purples tried fouling but deadly charity shooting by the Aggies put the game on ice. The last 14 A&M points came on free throws. Beasley put on another great show for Shelby Metcalf's Aggies. He sank 15 of 15 at the line and meshed 12 of 26 fielders, mostly long jump shots from the corner. Big John kept the Ags alive in the first ten minutes after inter mission. He was the only Cadet to score in that period, hitting 16 to 17 for the whole TCU team. The 6-9 center pumped his league-leading scoring average to 26.3 and his season average to 24.4. Beasley has averaged over 37-per-game in his last four out ings. Beasley’s accuracy at the chari ty line was shared by his team mates Tuesday night. For the game, the Ags canned 38 of 43 free shots.

OPPORTUNITIES IN HOUSTON WITH TRW SPACE TECHNOLOGY LABORATORIES FOR MATHEMATICIANS, ENGINEERS AND PHYSICISTS IN SCIENTIFIC AND BUSINESS PROGRAMMING Mathematicians, Engineers and Physicists receiving BS or MS degrees during 1965 are invited to discuss opportunities with members of STL’s technical staff on campus February 26, 1965. TRW Space Technology Laboratories has openings for Scientific and Business Programmers in its new Manned Spaceflight Department in Houston. Here, in new facilities adjacent to NASA’s Manned Space Flight Center, TRW Space Technology Laboratories has responsibility to NASA for Apollo mission planning, mission analysis and real-time program development. STL’s task, in broad terms, consists of “building a computer highway to the moon.” STL Programmers will chart the path the Apollo craft must follow and the functions and maneuvers which will be required to remain on that path for manned landing on the lunar surface in 1969. With this challenging assignment, STL in Houston has ground-floor opportunities that may never be available again. For these exceptional openings, STL requires BS or MS degrees in Aeronautical Engineering, Physics, Applied Math or Astronomy, with experience or training in these areas: MISSION ANALYSIS: Strong analytical ability and technical originality with broad background in flight mechanics, astronautics, missile guidance and mission performance. TRAJECTORY ANALYSIS: Familiarity with the use of digital computation, analytically inclined, with background in space mechanics. ASTRODYNAMICS:. Theoretical background in celestial mechanics, orbit determination and/or re lated fields of math, physics or astronomy. GUIDANCE ANALYSIS: Familiarity with techniques for missile guidance and experience in orbital mechanics, random processes and statistics. SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMMING: Background in high speed digital computers. Will assist in the solution of problems arising in missile and space vehicle engineering, with responsibility for direction, pro gramming, debugging and analysis of computer solutions. ACT NOW!
