Transporta lion Not A Problem For Ag Couple THE BATTALION Thursday, August 11, 1966 College Station, Texas Page 7 First Since 1924 Baylor Could Win Conference Title Morris and Sandra Kruemcke of Houston figure they can solve parking problems of a projected 11.000 enrollment at Texas A&M this fall. They travel light, long and lots, depending on one of four sets of wheels for transportation. On campus, the blonde secre tary and senior math major wheel exclusively by bicycle or motor bike. Daily jaunts to Building and Utilities, Department of Agricultural Analytical Service and classes are regular sights. ‘T’ve talked to Campus Secur ity Chief Ed Powell about re duced parking rates on scooters, bikes and motorcycles,” Morris advanced. “Lower fees would at tract motor bike and scooter usage, helping parking and traf fic problems. Eight scooters can be parked in one car space.” In their three years of mar riage, the Kruemckes have toured 64.000 miles, primarily by motor cycle. They own a bicycle, Honda 60, King Midget, and Opel Kadett. The “family car” Kadett econo mizes by standing idle at 910 Fairview. The two miles from their home in South College Station to work and class are usually pedalled or “hiked.” “It’s good exercise,” commented Sandra. “I eat like a horse and still stay trim.” Other stenogra- •jhers at Purchasing and Stores notice conditioning aspects of going the chain route.

Morris is a car bug and just can’t see packing two tons of Detroit iron to the grocery store. “We run around so much, it's quicker and cheaper. But mostly, a lot of fun. We get 28 miles per gallon from the Kadett, 46 from the Midget and 100 to 110 from the Honda,” he disclosed. “License are reasonable. Plates for the Midget cost $2.70 and they cheated me 200 pounds,” Kruemcke went on. The small, jeep-like auto weighs 670 pounds. “They charged me for the pack ing crate too,” he noted. “The bike is extremely dependable. I make minor adjustments, change oil and gas it up. Otherwise, it just runs.” Inclement weather doesn't deter the couple. They have special gear, light camping equipment and once made a 300-mile trip on a Honda with a Dalmatian along. “We rode into Austin one winter with the temperature at 26 degrees,” Kruemcke said. “The Houston-to-Columbus part took 26 cents worth of gas. When we stopped, it was like the first stagecoach in 14 years coming through. Stares don’t bother us any more.” “Sleet or ice is the only bad condition for a bike,” Sandra added. Heavy traffic poses no special problems, they vow. “It requires knowing capabili ties of the vehicle,” Kruemcke aserted. “The main thing bike and small car drivers must do is maintain speed or yield to others. But being considerate of traffic is the way everyone should drive.” By HAROLD V. RATLIFF Associated Press Sports Writer In 1924 Cyrill Walker won the National Open Golf tournament. He hasn’t won anything since. In 1924 Baylor won the South west Conference football cham pionship. It hasn’t done it since. So Baylor can realize that it isn’t by itself in a record for fail ure to win the big one. Peculiar thing about Baylor’s all-time record. In 1899-1900 when it played its first two sea sons of football, there wasn’t a coach. In 1900 it had its only undefeated, untied team. However, this is no hint that it shouldn’t have a coach now. It didn’t need a coach back in those ancient times because it wasn’t playing for anything. If it had been, it probably would have tightened up and lost its games. It certainly had a coach in 1924 when it last won the cham pionship. He was Frank Bridges and he led the Bears to the title although they lost two games and tied one. It happened that only the tie was a conference game and Southern Methodist, which didn’t lose a conference game either, did manage to get tied in four of them. So Baylor was cham pion. Maybe that’s slipping in under the back door but brother, Bay lor might savor a conference championship even if it won it by forfeit. Forty-one years have passed since the Golden Bears tasted the fruits of conference conquest. Two of those years they didn’t even try; they were out of foot ball in 1943-44 — years of the Second World War. But at that, 39 years without a title is some kind of record, especially in big time football. Don’t expect anybody at Bay lor to forecast that it might win a title this year. Secretly many believe it’s quite possible when they look over the glittering Baylor prospects. And Coach John Bridgers is optimistic. But no one is going to come right out and predict it. They’d rather wait until Baylor does win and laugh at the critics who picked them not to. There are 33 lettermen at Bay lor, including the probable top passer of the nation, Terry Southall. There is every reason to believe the Bears will be pow ers. But they thought that last year and a rash of injuries struck, including a broken leg for Southall, and the Bears played so many men they had to give a record number of letters. More than 40 players started games and these automatically got letters whether they played any more or not. That’s one thing Baylor co horts point out as a difficulty to surmount. While there are more lettermen, the Bears still are lacking in depth of proven play ers they think will be necessary to win in this hurly-burly South west Conference. Too, the Bears are going to be very green in the deep positions on defense. The fellows they’re going to put back there have great poten tial but still are of unknown quality since they don’t have ex perience to back them. Baylor may have the biggest safety man in college football when Steve Lane, a 6-4 208-pounder trots out. But he’s only a sophomore. Another big guy is Billy Hayes, the fullback who is due to play both ways. He’s a junior but hasn’t worked on defense before. Soph Jackie Allen, who is expect ed to head up the running backs, also is likely to play defense. He’s 185 pounds and 6-2. Baylor is going to have some good running this time what with Allen and Richard Defee, who had the second best average in the conference last year—5.2 per carry. Only Harry Jones of Arkansas did better. There are some talented re ceivers like Tommy Smith, being eyed avariciously by profootball; George Cheshire, Bobby Green and Paul Becton. The offensive line looks very good, the defensive line and line backers are virtually intact from last year. Bob Purvis is an ex cellent placekicker. There’s plenty for Baylor to gloat over as the 1966 campaign approaches. But there also are some defects and that everlast ing jinx that has been such a pain in the neck to all followers of the Green and Gold. FISHIN’ FUN A weekend fishing- outing in the Gulf of Mexico off Freeport produced these and other fish for a trio of Aggies and a guest. Mike McLeod, left to right, of Houston. Bob McManis of Houston (non-Ag), Mike Ossan- na of Minneapolis, Minn., and Mike Key of FOR AGGIES Lake Jackson pose with their catch, which included 30 dolphins, a jackfish and some king. Key landed a 15-pound king. Ossanna is the grandson of Dr. A. P. Beutel, a mem ber of A&M’s Board of Directors. Whitaker Joins TIC Staff Charles E.
