lecreatian. Military Skills
'Practiced By Judo Group
By LARRY JERDEN
Sports Staff
The stated purpose of the A&M
do Club, according: to faculty
onsor Maj. F. F. Drake, is to
courage the development of the
or t the physical fitness of the
, m bers, and to prepare for
aments.
|Maj. Drake described judo as
"‘‘clean, recreational sport, con-
■cive to physical well-being,
fth a direct application to mili-
I«r skills.” He said he felt it
a way in which a student at
' fcM could add to his military
^ lining, as it is usable in com-
t The sport is required knowl-
" ' g e for SAC combat crews.
While judo is both a sport and
weapon, the club stresses the
tlemanly aspects, making it a
rious offense for a member to
m01 a g of his prowess, or to use his
ill outside of the gym. To an
itrained observer, the s p o r tr
ems to be a dangerous one, but
aj. Drake said there had been
injuries in the history of the
ub.
Club membership is limited to
r
r wa ;n '
m
40 members, and membership is
closed for this semester. When
admission is open, the club is
open to any student of A&M. At
the present time there are six
“brown belts” among the mem
bers. There are four grades of
belt colors: white, green, brown
and black, in ascending order of
skill.
Upgrading above the brown
belt is limited to the approval of
another black belt, so at the pres
ent the club is limited to promo
tions during tournaments. Pro
motions are tightly regulated by
the Judo Black Belt Federation.
The club is divided into two
teams, the “maroon” and “white”
squads. The two teams compete
against each other in intraclub
competition to determine who
will represent the school in tour
naments. When the club com
petes, it does so as the Texas
A&M Judo Team.
The Maroon team is captained
by Troy Myer and the White
squad by Bill Picavance. Both
are brown belts.

irnament.

EjgJpAA invitation because it was

March 9.
Jlrt Mahan, Villanova’s athletic
^ ector, pointed out that six school
arc | )| rs for the tournament would be
re r much for the players to lose.
•e tl
;o t!
In the NIT, the players will be
able to commute between classes
and competition.
“We would have taken the NCAA
bid if we had been assigned to
the regionals in Philadelphia,” said
Jack Kraft, the Wildcat’s coach.
“We’re very pleased with the NIT
invitation and I feel this is a re
ward for our record.”
The Wildcat’s victory over Pro
vidence, ranked fourth in the lat
est Associated Press poll, was their
18th in 22 games. They are led
by Bill Melchionni, a 6-foot junior
who is averaging 19 points a game.
This weekend the team will
travel to Denton to compete in
the JBBF State Championship
Tournament. Also scheduled this
semester is a tournament in San
Antonio, one with the Tamuri
Judo Institute in Dallas, and a
third with the James Connally
AFB team.
Last semester the team com
peted in two tournaments with
excellent results. One was in San
Antonio and the other was with
James Connally.
In the San Antonio match, the
A&M Club brought home the
team championship. Larry Ste
phens took first place in the un
limited division, and Greg Mann
defeated the instructor of the San
Antonio team, a black belt, to
take the 180-pound class. Tom
Post placed third in the 135-
pound category while Troy Myers
claimed second spot in the 165-
pound class.
At the James Connally tour
nament, Maj. Drake earned a
third place prize in the 180-pound
division. Steve Chupik gained
second spot in the 135 - pound
class and Richard Crosby came
in third in the 165-pound division.
Budget limitations restrict the
team now to in-state tourna
ments, and even so the team
members pay part of their own
way. The club is planning to
award letters to qualifying mem
bers, and this step is now await
ing approval of Hank Foldberg,
A&M Athletic Director.

Two weekend sports attractions have become victims
of circumstance.
The A&M-Baylor dual track meet slated here Saturday
afternoon has been called off because of the icy weather
conditions. Unless the meet is re-scheduled, the Aggie
cindermen won’t make another home appearance until April
10, when a quadrangular with Texas, SMU, and Baylor will
be run.
The other sporting event affected is the classic A&M-TU
basketball duel in Austin. The clash has been moved to an
8 p.m. tipoff time in place of the original 2 p.m. starting
hour. A television contract that fell through for lack of
sponsorship was the cause of the earlier afternoon sched
uling.
Last season’s Austin engagement ended in a 65-60 Aggie
victory which started people thinking of a possible A&M
championship. Their intuition was borne out a few weeks
later.
On the final night of conference play last season the
Cadets pulled out a 65-63 triumph which no one hereabouts
will soon forget. And again this season it took the full
forty minutes for these two quintets to reach a final decision.
This time the scoreboard favored Texas, by that same 65-63
score.
Unfortunately, this contest has been more famous in
recent seasons for the post-game show than for the actual
ball game. The event was beamed via the airways last
year, when it was held in the daytime. For this and other
reasons the action was restricted to the playing court.
Without a doubt this was the best thing for all parties
concerned.
The unofficial melee two years ago produced sports page
headlines and action pictures all across the nation. It cast
an adverse light on the two schools and created several
injuries on both sides.
What was an injury yesterday could become a fatality
today. Anything can happen when a brawl breaks out in
a packed gym. And you can bet on Gregory Gym being
packed.
This event is one of the genuine highlights of the A&M
year and every Aggie that can possibly make it should be
there. It is virtually the only basketball game of the
Southwest Conference season which has sizeable representa
tion from both schools.
It gives both student bodies a chance to show what they
really stand for.
