Newspaper Page TextKegler Program Considered Best In State THE BATTALION Page 4 College Station, Texas Friday, April 22, li Ag Bowling Team Wins Another Title Parachute Meet Postponed By GUS DE LA GARZA The records prove that Texas A&M’s Bowling Committee pro vides the most complete bowling program of any college or uni versity in Texas. This was recently reported by Ray Snow, publicity officer and kegler for the Bowling Commit tee. Snow said since 1958 A&M keglers have won six champion ships and lost one in the Texas Intercollegiate Bowling Confer ence. In reality, the bowling team was tied with the Universi ty of Houston, but the tie was rolled off and the team lost, Snow said. This year’s bowling team has wrapped up first place with 12 games to go. Why ? The Aggie keglers are 20 games ahead, Snow A gg- ;ies Need Luck To Play Froggies Lady Luck won’t smile, or even grin, when the Aggie base ball team sets out to play Texas Christian. But in two games with the Homed Frogs Friday and Saturday, someone should gain satisfaction. Coach Tom Chandler’s slug gers stood ready to battle the Froggies in Fort Worth last month, but rain precluded the venture. Then last Monday, the Ag gies tried again only to struggle 15 innings to a 3-3 tie. How disgusting can life be? But this is the weekend that is.

But TCU can match A&M strength- for-strength in the Southwest Conference power struggle. While the Aggies rank first in the conference in team bat ting at .276, TCU holds the sec ond spot with a j258 skein. Each team holds three places among the Top Ten batwise in the SWC. TCU’s Richard Hooper sports the second best average (.375) and A&M’s Lou Camilli stands just below in third place (.350). Billy Crain and Joe Staples share fourth with Jimmy Duffey of TCU (.324), while Mickey Yates of the Frogs ranks seventh (.314). “I guess Joe Staples is about our best player right now,” com mented Chandler. “He is getting us the hits.” The sophomore catcher has been the league’s most effective hitter in the last three contests, swatting six hits in 12 tries. “I just wish we could get a little more consistant,” noted the Aggie mentor. “We hit a mid season slump but we got a vic tory over SMU and we’re ready to come back.” The normally free-swinging Aggies went hitless for eight innings in that 15-stanza holo caust before tagging Frog hurler Tommy Gramly for three runs. As Chandler exclaimed, “That Gramly is the best pitcher we’ve faced this year.” And the sta tistics bear out his flinging prowess. He has thrown more innings than any pitcher in the conference (49%) and owns the lowest earned run average (1.27), while compiling a 3-1 record. Gramly and Ronnie Paul should draw mound duty for the Frogs. In the opposite corner, Ken Perrin will pitch Friday and Steve Hillhouse hurls Saturday. And these guys are no slouches. Perrin stands 1-0 in conference with nary an earned run allowed in 9% innings and Hillhouse copies Gramly with a 3-1 record. said. “Undoubtedly, this by far has been our best year,” Snow said. Back in 1950, the Aggie bowl ing team was a member of the Gulf Coast Conference. Bowling was slow then, the team bowled in home meets and road games, but the games didn’t mean much. The Aggie keglers just wanted to get things started, Snow said. In 1958 the Gulf Coast Confer ence folded and the remaining teams consolidated into the Texas Intercollegiate Bowling Confer ence, the TIBC as it is commonly called. “Marvin H. (Pro) Butler, an assistant professor of economics who is no longer with A&M, put the Bowling Committee on its feet. “The Committee is better or ganized than any other in Texas because of his efforts,” Snow explained. Pro wasn’t only interested in bowling but in the administra tion of the Committee and in the bowlers themselves, Snow said. “If the Bowling Committee had any problem Butler solved it. “He was the man we always looked to. “Pro was always there looking over the situation. “He gave advice freely when asked to do so and showed how to get things done,” Snow com mented. After Pro left, we couldn’t find anyone who was interested in being our adviser, then we found Larry Ringer, Snow said. Ringer, associated with the Institute of Statistics, bowled in one of the leagues at the Memorial Student Center when he was recommended for the job. “We asked him and he said he’d be glad to be our adviser. “Since then he has done a fine job. “He’s always there when we need him,” Snow said. Netters Beat Houston; Host BU Saturday Texas A&M beat the Universi ty of Houston, 6-0, Thursday in a non-conference tennis match. The match was a tune up for Saturday’s crucial Southwest Conference match with Baylor at the A&M court. The Aggie freshmen lost 4-2 to the Houston freshmen. loupot's North Gate CAMPUS STARTS SUNDAY See One Of A&M’s Own Boys In The Great War Drama ...the personal Also See Actor Of Year In One Of His Great Roles Lee Marvin In “THE KILLERS” What exactly is the Bowling Committee? The Bowling Com mittee is a sub-committee of the Recreation Committee which is a member of the MSC Directorate. With its faculty advisers, the group strives to provide the stu dent body with a form of popular athletic competition, he said. And at the same time represent A&M in intercollegiate competition throughout the South. Besides regular on-campus league play the Bowling Com mittee has two school-wide tourn aments open to students, the an nual Texas A&M Invitational In tercollegiate Bowling Tourna ment and the National Associa tion of College Unions Tourna ment. Wives of students also participate in “mixed” leagues af filiated with the Bowling Com mittee. The structure of the Bowling Committee is rather simple. The chairman of the Recreation Com mittee, appointed by the MSC Council, appoints the chairman for the Bowling Committee. Then, the other officers in the Commit tee are elected by the committee members themselves. Officers for the Bowling Com mittee are James Milstead, chair man; Skipper Robinson, vice chairman; Robert Maser, secre tary-treasurer and Ray Snow, publicity officer. Scholastic eligibility requires members not be on any school probation, have an overall Grade Point Ratio of at least 1.00, have a minimum 1.00 GPR for the preceding semester, have a 1.00 GPR at mid-term and carry a minimum 12 hour load (under graduates) — graduates must have a minimum six hour load. Snow said. Membership dues of $3.50 per year must be paid before league action begins, Snow said. If a student joins after the completion of the Fall semester, the dues are $2. The Aggie Match Team is com posed of six members with the highest bowling average as com pared to the other members. “Usually the same members won’t participate because their averages tend to fluctuate,” he said. Team members practice when they have time, though they do bowl one night a week in Bowl ing Committee league. All team members have their own personal equipment, but equipment is available for pros pective members. There is a 15 cent charge for the use of bowling shoes. The dues, the tournament entry fees and the funds allotted by the MSC pays for all the Bowling Committee activities, Snow said. The money for the trophies, trips, Invitational Bowling Tournament and the end of the year banquet. Snow urges students to come by and see the bowling team in action. “We have some top-notch bowl ers,” he said. At the last tournament on cam pus which took place April 1-2, Perry Kinder, a sophomore from Houston, was the star, Snow said. Kinder walked off with five tro phies — high series, high game, first place team anchor man, placed in the singles and doubles. His average is 183. Louisiana State University, Arlington State University, Grambling College from Louisi ana, University of Southwestern Louisiana and A&M participat ed. LSU won the team event but A&M won with 27 of 36 trophies. Last week the team traveled to Arlington State University and won that tournament, Snow said. The Aggie keglers beat Texas Christian, 4-0, Trinity Universi ty, 3-1, and lost to Arlington State 3-1.
