Aggies Sign Top Football, Track Prospects
Ross Brupbacher, the outstand
ing back in Louisiana last sea
son, Tuesday signed an inter
conference letter of intent to en
roll at Texas A&M next fall on
a football scholarship.
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 good enough
you could stay in the sack ail day
Moving your body around
is highly inefficient.
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.
