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. The league-leading Ags draw
TCU into the College Station pit
hoping to drop the Frogs lower

“THE MISFITS”
than their third place perch. 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.

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.

Take heart. Take a dime.
Then take a bottle of Sprite
from the nearest pop
machine.
Suddenly it's in
your hand. Cold.
Biting. Tart and
tingling. You
cackle fiendishly
and rub your hands^
together. (You
should; they're
probably chilled to
the bone by now.)
You tear off to a
corner, alone, but
within earshot of
your fellows.
And then? And then? And then you unleash it.
SPRITE! It fizzes! It roars! It bubbles with
good cheer!
Heads turn. Whisperings. "Who's that strangely
fascinating student with the arch smile. And what's
in that curious green bottle that's making such
a racket?"
And you've arrived! The distinctive taste and
ebullient character of Sprite has set you apart.
You're somebody, uh...uh, whoever-you-are.
SPRITE. SO TART AND
TINGLING. WE JUST COULDN'T
KEEP IT QUIET.
