Led by sprinter Gilbert Smith and high jumper Mike Schrider, the Aggies surprised the field in the university class and won the Border Olympics. A&M had not been picked better than third before the meet, but by getting eight points in PROGRAMMERS and latter-day Galileos . TRW needs you. Centuries ago the thinking, of Galileo, da Vinci, and Newton was thought heretic by many of their contemporaries. But, the test of time has seen such thoughts develop into the technologies of today. Now, in recent time, computer applications through scientific programming have so accelerated the process of problem analysis that the thoughts of today have become the designs of tomorrow. At TRW, we have taken important strides in advancing technology through the use of computer applications. In Houston, adjacent to NASA’s Manned Spacecraft Center (the home of Apollo), and at Redondo Beach near Los Angeles International Airport, several hundred skilled TRW programmers are applying their brain-power to further advance the capabilities of computers and computer sciences. MATHEMATICIANS ENGINEERS PHYSICISTS TRW Systems invites you to discuss programming opportunities in Houston and Los Angeles with members of its computing staff when they visit your campus on March 15th & 24th TRW SYSTEMS ONE SPACE PARK, REDONDO BEACH, CALIFORNIA OR SPACE PARK DRIVE, HOUSTON, TEXAS an equal opportunity employer — m. & f. the final event—the high jump— the Aggies finished with 41 points to 35 for runnerup Houston Cougars. Houston and A&M were tied going into the final event but a one-two finish in the high jump by Schrider and Steve Holtz gave the Aggies enough to win. The win was A&M’s second in two weeks. A&M captured a tri angular meet against Texas and Rice in Kyle Field two weeks ago and both wins came without the services of A&M’s best point- getter — Randy Matson, the world’s greatest shot putter. Mat- son, who played basketball, is currently getting in shape and might see action this weekend when the Aggies travel to Rice for a meet. Ags Host SMU Today A fter TCll Tilt Postponed Smith, A&M’s top sprinter, won both the 100- and 220-yard dashes and was high point man in the university class wtih 121/2 points. Smith also ran a leg of the Aggies’ relay team. The ex-Blinn Junior College and national junior college record holder ran the century in 9.8 and the 220 in a record 21.3. His century mark was four-tenths of a second slower than his winning time in the Aggies’ trianguular meet, but his 9.4 at Kyle Field was wind-aided. Smith, who was second to Southern Methodist’s Chuck Evans in the triangular meet, revenged his loss at the Border. Both Schrider and Holtz jumped 6-5y 4 , but Schrider was awarded first on fewer misses. The jumps were the best for both this season. Dan Meadows, Southwest Con ference defending champion in the javelin, was third in his spe cialty with a toss of 199 feet, six inches. Meadows has done well over 200 feet. Bob Brown, A&M’s top broad jumper, placed fourth in the broad jump wtih a leap of 22 feet, 4'/2 inches—only one-fourth of an inch out of third place and only two inches out of second. His leap was far below his standard the week before. OPIN YOUR ACCOUNT NOW! 4V« Annum Paid Quarterly bn INSURED SAVINGS FIRST FEDERAL SAVINGS and LOAN ASSOCIATION 2913 Texas Are. ALLROUND the world SHAFFERS your record SALE center The Texas Aggie undefeated baseball team will try to open Southwest Conference play today against the Southern Methodist Mustangs. Coach Tom Chandler and his Aggie nine tried to start confer ence play but their opening game Saturday with Texas Christian in Fort Worth was postponed be cause of rain and wet grounds. A&M will host SMU at the Kyle Field diamond at 3 p.m. to day. The game will be carried over Radio Station KORA with Mike Mistovich broadcasting. All of Saturday’s action was postponed and only the TCU- A&M game has been rescheduled. It will be played April 18 in Fort Worth. Besides the SMU-Aggie game here today, Texas is playing at Baylor and TCU is at Rice. On Saturday, Baylor goes to TCU, the Aggies to Rice and Texas to SMU. The Aggies currently hold an unblemished 7-0 record. A&M’s latest victim was the University of Houston Thursday, 9-1. Chandler’s pitching corps has gone 34 innings in a row without allowing an earned run and will try to preserve the string today. The Aggie coach was undecided who his starting pitcher would be against the Mustangs, but it will either be senior Steve Hill- house or junior Tommy Chiles. Tennis Team Wins, Loses Texas A&M’s rebounding ten nis team won an impressive 5-1 dual match from Lamar Tech on the A&M courts Friday, but suf fered a 4-3 defeat from the Okla homa Sooners Saturday.
