If Chandler can fill the gaps
at third base, catching and come
forth with depth on the hill,
the Aggies could be in the thick
of the conference flag chase this
spring.
The Aggies lost All-America
third baseman Mike (McClure to
the pros, even though he had an-
Wogs Down
Fish, 76-65
The TCU Wog basketball team
made a spirited comeback in Sat
urday’s game with the Aggie
Fish to emerge victorious, 76-65.
The handiwork of Aggies Bil
ly Bob Barnett, Eon Peret, Curly
Hallman, Sonny Benefield and
Eonnie Wolters added up for a
close lead over the Wogs in the
first half, 34-31. Aggie Coach
Jim Culpepper’s Fish needed
more as the second half turned
out to be a reversal of the first.
Methodically the TCU freshmen
fought to tie the game then
stretched a lead to nine points
which put the game out of the
reach for the Fish.
Greatly responsible for the vic
tory was James Cash of TCU
who made a superhuman effort
snagging 18 rebounds and foiling
the Aggies with no less than sev
en blocked shots.
Peret, A&M’s giant 6-9 for
ward and center from Plainview
sparked the Fish hopes with 19
points for the game’s high scor
ing position. Hallman and Bene
field accounted for 20 points,
each scoring 10.
Wolters, 6-2 forward from
Galena Park, added nine to the
Aggie tally, as did Barnett,
A&M’s hustling 6-4 % guard
from Brenham. Four field goals
from Gary Ditto and a freethrow
by Eichard Hanes added the final
points to the Aggie score.
The loss to TCU left the Fish
with a 2-5 season record.
other season of eligibiltiy left,
and reserve outfielder Fred Carl
ton. Otherwise, the 1965 squad
that finished second in the SWC
with a 10-5 mark, returns intact.
Valuable help is expected from
sophomores who posted an 11-1
mark as freshmen last season.
The 10 returning lettermen in
clude Mike Arrington, shortstop;
Ealph Beckner, catcher; Tommy
Chiles, pitcher; Lance Cobb, sec
ond base; Billy Crain, first
base; Steve Hillhouse, pitcher;
Billy Johnson, pitcher; Alan
Koonce, outfielder; Chuck Ma-
litz, outfielder and Neil Thomp
son, outfielder.
Hillhouse, a southpaw, was
Soph of The Year two seasons
ago and has been all-SWC two
years. Cobb was the SWC bat
ting champion as a sophomore
when he made all-America as an
outfielder. He was All-SWC at
second base last year, the same
honor won by Crain at first base.
The highly regarded sopho
mores who’ll battle for starting
berths this season include catcher
Joe Staples, third baseman Lou
Camilli, pitcher Ken Perrin and
outfielders Joe Wood and Eich
ard Schwartz.
After two seasons of home act
ion at Bryan’s Travis Park, the
Aggies will return to Kyle Field
this year to play their home
games.
Chandler now has 27 games
on his schedule but can add three
more as he can fit them in to
give him a maximum of 30 now
allowed by the conference.
Chiles had the best pitching
record last year as a sophomore,
posting a 9-1 mark for the year
and 5-1 in SWC play. Hillhouse,
the workhorse of the SWC with
72% innings of duty, was 5-3
in the league and 6-3 for the
year. Perrin had a perfect 6-0
record for the freshmen.
If Camilli fills the bill at third,
if Perrin adds strength and depth
to the mound corps and if either
Beckner or Staples develops into
a top-flight receiver, then the
Aggies could be serious champ
ionship contenders.

Yon only know
the half of it.
Our business no longer hangs by a fiber — cellulosic or otherwise. Far from it. We’re
researching, producing and marketing a rich range of products — chemicals, plastics,
paints and coatings, forest products, petroleum and natural gas products, as well as a
full family of man-made fibers —all over the world.
“Celanese’ sales growth, its hefty interests in chemicals and its hugely expanded foreign
operations have already moved it into a big new class,” said a CHEMICAL WEEK*
special report.
During the 10 years prior to 1964, sales more than quadrupled, chalking up a growth
rate more than six times that of all U. S. manufacturing industries. And the trend is
stronger than ever, with corporate sales for 1965 estimated at 23% higher than last
year’s record of $701 million.
What does this mean to you?
Since our future expansion depends on our continued ability to develop top-notch
people, it is, after all, in our best interest to bring you along as fast as you can take it,
and give you all the support you need —in your technical specialty or in management.
LET’S MAKE A DATE. Give our college representative a chance to fill you in on
more of the specifics. He will be on your campus within the next week or two — arrange
through your Placement Office to see him. If you miss our visit, drop a card indicating
your major and work interest to: Supervisor of University Recruitment, Celanese
Corporation, 522 Fifth Avenue, New York, N. Y. 10036.
