THE BATTALION Page 4 College Station, Texas Friday, March 26, 1965 Cadet Cindermen Depart For Meet In Corpus Christi The Aggie track team will compete with five other colleges Saturday in the Corpus Christi- Relays. Rice, Abilene Christian and A&M are considered the top con tenders for the meet, with Bay lor the only other school expect ed to produce much of a showing. Rice won the Border Olympics, followed by the Wildcats and the Aggies. The other two schools entered in the competition are Southern Methodist and Texas. The A&M mile relay foursome should be strong again with Ted Nelson back in full circulation. He will team up with Larry Mc- Gough, Gilbert Smith, and James White for the effort. In the sprint relay the Aggies will field White, Smith, Nelson and Martin. They took first in the Border Olympics with a 41.4 and should be in top contention in Corpus. White will also lead the 100- yard dash crew. His 9.9 at the Border Olympics and 9.6 at LSU were both sufficient for firsts. He will be joined by Smith, Bus ter Mason and Billy Schmidt. Don Kooser will carry the Ag gie colors in both the 120-yard high hurdles and the 440-yard intermediate hurdles. Gene West moreland will tackle the 880, and the team of White, Smith, Mason and Schmidt will attempt an Ag gie domination of the 220-yard dash. In the long-distance depart ment, A&M will have Don Smith. The Fort Worth endurance run ner will be the Ag entry in the 3-mile run. In the field events of course, it is almost safe to chalk up two firsts for the Aggies before the meet begins. Randy Matson will heave both the shot and discus, and he will have to be off his form not to set a record in both. He will be backed up in the dis cus by Aggie discus specialist David Glover. In the high jump, A&M will have Mike Schrider and Steve Holtz. Schrider has been defeat ed only once in the outdoor sea son this year, and won the Bor der Olympics event with a 6-4% effort. Bob Brown and Dan Meadows will do the broadjumping. Brown won the LSU broadjump with a 22% and also won the meet for the Aggies in the last event with a 44-1% in the hop, step and jump. Earl Edwards, who has vault ed 14 feet, will pole vault for A&M in the meet. Mickey, Whitey Both Deny Rumors Of Feud With New Manager Keane FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. UP) —Manager Johnny Keane shifted the sore-legged Mickey Mantle to left field Thursday and both of them denied a report that a feud was causing disorder on the New York Yankees. “I told Mickey I wanted him to be my left fielder, in games at Yankee Stadium as well as away from home,” Keane said. “He ac cepted the decision graciously. There’s never been any trouble be tween us.” The New York World-Telegram and Sun’s writer with the Yan kees, Joe King, reported Thursday that a smoking feud seemed to be arising between Keane and the two Yankee veterans, Mantle and Pitcher Whitey Ford. King said that the manager’s insistence on stressing that Man tle, who has had trouble with both legs, is not equipped to hold down center field has annoyed Mantle’s friends on the team. “Keane has insisted on making decisions when none was needed,” the reporter wrote.

RATLIFF Associated Press Sports Writer Girls basketball in the Texas Interscholastic League is a mira cle of sport. Here is something that grew despite the fact that it doesn’t get as much publicity as a mar ble game. Athletic Director Rhea Wil liams of the Interscholastic League says there’s no telling what the sport will do if given a place in the publicity scheme of things. The girls tournament drew 35,- 000 attendance for seven sessions in which 18 games were played. That’s an average of almost 2,- 000 per game. Boys basketball, which gets reams and reams of publicity, drew 65,000 for its tournament. There are nine sessions with 22 games. The boys’ average was 2,954. But boys basketball has been going on for 45 years whereas the girls have been playing under the aegis of the League for only 15. There are 1,092 boys teams. The girls have grown to 803 and if the big cities should ever con descend to have girls basketball teams, could equal the boys. Girls basketball was a long time coming to the League pro gram. The physical education teachers were against it—they said girls couldn’t stand up un der such a strenuous sport. This in view of the fact that most of the small schools played the game and that it was a two-divi sion court proposition for the purpose of allowing the girls to stand up to it. The girls don’t roam all over the court like the boys. There are forwards and three guards. The guards are not allowed past mid-court. The three forwards do all the scoring. There now are four divisions— Classes AAA, AA, A and B. Un til the big cities get into the swim, there won’t be a Class AAAA. There just aren’t enough big schools to have the top class to correspond to the boys. It is well that there is some sport besides tennis in which girls can participate. The coming of girls basketball has given them something to do in school besides t r y out for cheer leader or the pep squad. Girls basketball can be built into a fine attraction. The girls play hard, hate to lose and have plenty of skill. The girls, without the benefit of publicity, are drawing good attendance and gaining in skill and competitiveness. The boys better look out—t h e gals are likely to start taking over some of these days. They can’t be ig nored from now on and when they start putting more people on the Olympics team than the boys do on their team, things are going to pop. Yes, young fellow, you may be knocked over by the growing tide. The varied weekend sports menu on the A&M campus hing es on the whim and fancy of Old Man Winter. Although April is less than a week away, you couldn’t tell it from the cold, damp weather now in the air. If conditions improve, baseball, spring football, and golf can all be seen here this weekend. Tom Chandler’s baseballers are scheduled to meet TCU Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. in Travis Park. The Aggies are 1-2 in con ference warfare and can ill af ford to lose many more. Lefty Steve Hillhouse will be on the hill for the Aggies. Op posing him for the Purples will be sophomore righthander Jim Routh. The Frogs are winless in two SWC outings and bring a 4-4 overall record into the A&M con test. They are hitting .248 as a team and their pitching staff has compiled a 5.91 ERA. Three Frogs are hitting over .300 thus far. Centerfielder Al- vis Ballew is averaging an even .500, leftfielder Bill Defee is at .357 and catcher Ron Eddins owns a .350 mark. The Cadets have five regulars over the .300 level, topped by Mike McClure’s .444. A&M’s two games with Minne sota Thursday afternoon were called off because of the weather and will not be made up. A pair of sophomores, John Buffin and Lee McDowell, will lead the Aggie golf squad against SMU on the A&M course Bullets, 76ers Gain NBA Edge LiP)—After winning the openers on enemy courts, the Philadelphia 76ers and Baltimore Bullets have the definite edge in the divisional semifinals of the National Basket ball Association playoffs.
