Teague Announces
Bid For Reelection
Rep. Olin E. Teague of Col
lege Station has announced his
bid for reelection to represent
the Sixth District of Texas.
The veteran congressman has
served in Washington since 1946.
“I feel my 18 years of exper
ience and seniority place me in
a position to render effective
service in Congress,” Teague
said.
“I will consider it a great
privilege if the voters of the
Sixth District see fit to return
me to office for
another term.”
Teague, second-
ranking Demo
crat on the Com
mittee of Science
and Astronautics,
is chairman of
the Manned
Space Flight Sub
committee. H e
has been chair- TEAGUE
man of the Veteran’s Affairs
Committee for 11 years.
The congressman’s legislation
includes the Korean “GI Bill”
which provided education for mil
lions of veterans and a bill now
under study in Congress which
provides similar training for
“cold war” veterans.
He wrote the War Orphans’
Educational Assistance Act and
helped extend VA housing loans
to servicemen living in rural
areas. Last year he authored the
Veterans Administration Nursing
Care Program to assist elderly
ex-servicemen in need of hospi
talization.
Teague has written several
laws increasing compensation for
disabled veterans and helped
raise pensions for war orphans
and widows.
He has been an enthusiastic
backer of soil and water con
servation programs. During his
18 years in Congress he has as
sisted with water projects in his
district which includes the Whit
ney reservoir, projects at Navar-
Batman Addicts
Overload Sofas
“Batman”, the high-camp tele
vision series taking the nation by
storm, has caused Texas A&M
officials to exclaim, “Holy broken
sofa.”
It seems the show’s popularity
causes students to overcrowd
dormitory television lounges.
Viewers sitting 10 and 12 to a
sofa have caused some of the
furniture to break (KAPOW!)
University officials are study
ing the problem and hope to find
a solution before Wednesday’s
episode of the masked crime
fighter of Gotham City takes a
toll of any more sofas.

Creek, Tehuacana Creek, Rich

Teague’s interest and support
of Texas A&M have spanned a
40-year period. A 1932 A&M
graduate, “Tiger” Teague was
commander of Company “G” In
fantry, a member of the Ross
Volunteers and a member of the
championship intramural base
ball team.
He serves as an advisor to
the Student Conference on Na
tional Affairs and assists in the
arrangements of many campus
speakers.
Called “the driving force in
America’s space program” by
some Washington experts,
Teague’s interest in A&M’s space
research programs is widely rec
ognized.
The Aggie congressman was
first elected to the 79th Congress
after discharge from the U. S.
Army as a colonel. Called to
active duty in 1940, he served as
commander of the First Bat
talion, 314th Infantry, 79th Di
vision. His decorations for valor
include the Silver Star with two
clusters, the Bronze Star with
two clusters, the French Croix
de Guerre with Palm, the Purple
Heart with two clusters, the
Combat Infantryman’s Badge
and the Army Commendation
Medal.

Eddie Dominguez, the little 5-
10 guard from Dallas Jefferson,
stood taller than any Aggie Tues
day night.
Taking charge of a jittery
A&M basketball squad early in
the first half, Dominguez sparked
the Aggies to a 77-71 come-from-
behind victory over the Texas
Tech Red Raiders before a stand
ing room only crowd of 8,200 in
G. Rollie White Coliseum.
A&M now holds a commanding
three-game bulge over the second
place Red Raiders in the South
west Conference race wth seven
games to play. The Aggies will
play four of the remaining seven
in cozy G. Rollie White.
The hard-fought game was
marked by a brief brawl in the
second half which brought both
benches on the floor and a big

Hit Ballad
By LARRY UPSHAW
Battalion Sports Staff
“It’s a 7-0 and seven to go,”
a timely little ditty composed by
Texas A&M trainer, Billy Pick
ard, had made a sudden surge
to the top of the Aggieland hit
parade.
Elation, exhilaration and chaos
all reigned supreme in the Aggie
dressing room after Coach Shel
by Metcalf’s cage heroes stole
a seat-edge squeaker from Texas
Tech by a 77-71 count and bid a
fond farewell to a spotless first
half of the season.
“We wanted this one bad,”
Metcalf said. “This was our big
gest game of the season.”
It’s big games that make big
men and the biggest stood a mere
5-10. Eddie Dominguez, who can
ned a season high of 22 points,
said, “It was my best game in
an Aggie uniform. We expected
a zone and we worked against it.”
Big John Beasley, seemingly
the forgotten man with a con
ference season low of 11 points,
drew praise from his smaller
teammate.
“He may not have hit his
average,” explained Dominguez,
“but he controlled the boards and
blocked two shots right near the
end when we needed it.”
Metcalf added that “John just
needed time to rest up.” He also
agreed that this was the “greatest
game for Eddie (Dominguez).
Randy (Matson) also proved
that he is superhuman. The doc
tor didn’t give him clearance to
play until just before the game.”
fracas between Aggie and Tech
fans during the half.
Dominguez, with help from
Terry Trippet, did what the
Aggie giants, John Beasley and
Randy Matson, were supposed to
do. They kept the Aggies within
striking distance in the first half,
combining for 24 of A&M’s 36
points and grabbing nine re
bounds.
While the Red Raiders were
occupied trying to stop Beasley,
the conference’s leading scorer,
Dominguez and Trippet pumped
five jumpers in a row midway
through the first half and four
consecutive baskets in the last
four minutes.
Tech’s Norman Reuther, a 6-7
forward from Fort Worth, held
the 6-9 Beasley to three first-
half points, all free shots. An
other Tech giant, Bob Glover,
held Matson, who played on a
badly sprained left knee, to five
rebounds. Matson finished with
10 rebounds.
The Aggies used the same
tactics in the second half the Red
Raiders employed in the first
half—a punishing man-for-man
press which proved more suc
cessful for them than for Tech.
Dominguez’s 17-foot jumper
from the right corner eight min
utes deep in the second half
pushed the Aggies to a nine-
point margin, 53-44, their biggest
lead of the night, but Reuther
and Bobby Measells combined for
six straight points to cut the
margin to three with 10 minutes
left.
Tech tied the score at 60-60
with 5:52 remaining, but Dick
Stringfellow, Matson, Beasley,
Rector and Dominguez beat the
Red Raiders att heir own game
—ball stealing.
Four steals, two by Dominguez
and one each by Matson and
Rector, forged the Aggies to a
six-point lead, 69-63, with 2:31
to play.
Baskets by Reuther and Dub
Malaise reduced the margin to
69-67 with 1:52 remaining, but
steals by Beasley and String-
fellow pulled the Aggies out of
trouble.
The difference in the game was
the free shot line and on the back-
boards. The Aggies hit 17 of 24
free shots while Tech could only
connect on 11 of 22.
A&M outrebounded a taller
Tech squad, 52-36. The Aggies
hit on 48.4 per cent of their field
goal attempts wtih 30 to 62, and
the Red Raiders connected at a
44.1 per cent clip wtih 30 of 68.
Dominguez scored 22 points for
high point honors. He was fol
lowed by Reuther with 21. Trip
pet, Rector, Beasley and String-
fellow hit 17, 13, 11 and 10, re
spectively, for the Aggies. Do
minguez also grabbed eight re
bounds.
