The six-foot, two-inch, 207- pounder, was all-state three years, the first two at end and last season as a flanker back. He was voted the top back in the state by the Louisiana Sports Writers Association and was named to the All-American Prep squad. Brupbacher rushed for 1,000 yards and gained some 600 yards pass receiving in leading Lafay ette, La., High to a 12-1 record. Lafayette was 10-0 in district and won two playoff games before losing in the semifinals. Coach Gene Stallings signed Brupbacher and called the highly sought-after star a “real blue chipper.” Brupbacher played linebacker on defense and made all-state both as an offensive halfback and defensive linebacker. He also led Lafayette High to the state finals in basket ball, playing a guard position. He high jumped in track. In addition to Brupbacher, two Blinn Junior College track stars signed letters of intent to enroll at A&M next fall on track schol arships. A&M Coach Charley Thomas announced the signing of quarter- miler Jack White of Heame and hurdler Jack Abbott of Harlin gen. White holds the Blinn school record for the 440 with a 47.7. He also holds the state JC mark of 48.1. Abbott holds the Blinn school record in the high hurdles with a 14.2 and won the national jun ior college high hurdles last year. Both ran on the 440 and mile relay teams. The 440 relay team set a school record of 41.7. Both boys will compete in the national junior college meet at Garden City, Kansas, this week end. Little Riggs Wants Quarterback Post Charley Riggs, football-wise, isn’t as big as a minute but he’s tough as granite and has one of the fightingest hearts on the Texas A&M varsity squad. He has ability to go along with his tough, fighting spirit and he’s in the thick of a three-way battle for the Aggies’ quarterback spot. His prime foes are returning starter Harry Ledbetter, a junior, and fellow sophomore Edd Har gett. Riggs was an all-around sports star at Galena Park where he was an All-America schoolboy quarterback, a guard in basket ball and a catcher in baseball. That’s an amazing record when you realize he stands only 5-8 and weighs but 155. Riggs is a good passer but his lack of height has limited his ability to spot receivers in college ball, what with big, burly line men bearing down on him. To compensate, Charley has become a hustlin’, scrambler, who is al most magical in his ability to dart and dodge out of what appears to be certain danger. Riggs has been banged all over the practice fields this spring by foes twice as large. Usually, he’s the first to bounce up and be ready for more. When Riggs completed his fabulous schoolboy career at Galena Park, a lot of folks said he’d never make it at all in col lege football . . . “Too short to play quarterback!” Coach Gene Stallings saw some thing a lot of other folks didn’t, however, and got his signature on a Texas A&M scholarship. Stallings has been quoted as saying: “Size is relatively unim portant. I want the competitors because that’s who you win with.” The Aggies have a thorough bred competitor in little Charley Riggs.

If communications were perfect, you would never have to. Of course, you would still have to get exercise. But that’s your problem. We want to make it easier for you to contact people, learn, get information, attend lectures, and hold meetings. We developed Picturephone* service so you can see as well as talk when you call. And be seen, too. We introduced Tele-Lecture service (two-way amplified phone calls) to let you hear lecturers in distant locations. And so you could ask them questions no matter how far away they were. Right now, many students can dial from their dormitories to a language lab. Soon a student will be able to dial into a computer thousands of miles away to get information for his courses. Depending on the nature of the information, he might get his answer back audibly, printed on a teletypewriter, as a video image, or a facsimile print. Some of these services are available now. Others are being tested. For the next week or so, better get a move on. ♦ Service mark of the Bell System Bell System American Telephone & Telegraph and Associated Companies YOU CAN’T LOSE WHEN YOU TRADE AT LOU'S!
