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.
Another factor is economy

though absolute saving isn’t the
major reason for the Kruemcke’s
modes of travel. 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

other fish for a trio of Aggies and a guest.
