THE BATTALION
College Station, Texas Wednesday, February 24, 1965
FROM THE
ineA
By LAN I PRESS WOOD
A BIT O’ THIS AND A BIT O’ THAT:
... if John Beasley continues his current scoring pace,
he will break Benny Lenox’s A&M season scoring mark as
well as the Clear Creek ace’s school SWC scoring record . . .
another high scoring eager is Sonny Benefield of Sweeny.
The 6-0 playmaker averaged well over 30 per game this
season and is likely the top schoolboy pointmaker in the
nation . . .
A&M will begin spring grid drills March 23. The con
ference granted Coach Gene Stallings an extension on the
starting time because of the coaching turnover. Arkansas
annually starts late because of unfavorable weather condi
tions. . .
... it could be an interesting conference baseball race
this season since the top clubs from last year all suffered
heavy graduation losses. . .
. . . look for at least one SWC school to integrate its
basketball program next season. . .
. . . Homer Norton, coach of the 1939 Aggie National
Champions, has been hospitalized at St. Luke's Episcopal hos
pital with a kidney infection. Address cards and flowers to
Room 501. . .
. . . men responsible for only IS 1 /^ of the 28 Aggie points
in last year’s SWC track meet return but Charley Thomas’
squad will be bolstered by one of the finest sophomore dele
gations in A&M track history. . .
. . . after watching the 91-77 Ag victopr over Arkansas
Saturday night, Razorback Sports Publicity Director Bob
Cheyne commented: “With the possible exception of Tech,
A&M looks like the best team in the conference to me.”. . .

With the score tied 86-86, Tech

seconds left. Baylor brought the
ball down but had it knocked out

led by Moore and Home, who had
11 and 15 points respectively.

for Tech in the first half when he
hit for 22 points. But he was held
to nine in the second half. Norman
Reuther then picked up the pace

half to make his total 29 for the

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.
Following Beasley in scoring for
the Aggies were Paul Timmins

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.
