Fish Drill Team Captures Second In Nation’s IE! CAPITAL PERFORMANCE The Fish Drill Team, which took honors as the nation’s drill championships, is shown on the Ellipse south of the second best in Cherry Blossom Festival-sponsored national White House. Texas A&M’s mark was left on the nation’s capital at the an nual Cherry Blossom Festival. The Freshman Drill Team, which took honors as the nation’s second best in Festival-sponsored national drill championships, ac quainted half a million people with A&M. The team collected the second- place drill trophy and fifth in the Festival parade on Constitution Avenue. Judges picked A&M tops among marching organizations of the initial 130 units in the parade, viewed by more than 40,000. A later group took first. In excess of 650 bands, floats and marching units participated. Thirty-three coed and male drill teams, plus other units competed for best marching unit. The Fish, commanded by Justo Gonzales of San Antonio, beat Villanova in the parade. Villa- nova’s “Whiskey Company” won first in drill competition. “I thought the team represent ed A&M better than at any time I’ve been working with them” de clared Maj. Calvin Reese, spon sor. “The kids knew we’d be against top competition at Wash ington, and were out to beat it.” The Fish held the drill cham pionships lead with 877 points of 1,000 possible until Villanova tal lied 897 in the afternoon. Two other Southwest teams entered the nationals held in the shadow of the Washington monument, for which the trophies were pat terned. Sam Houston scored 683, North western Louisiana State 740. Sam’s Loman Rifles won the pa rade trophy for the best march ing organization. The Fish marched up Independ ence Avenue following drill com petition to tour the House of Representatives as guests of Con gressman Bob Casey of Houston. Passers-by clicked shutters as the black-helmeted team marched past, sending cadence counts eco- ing along the Mall. The team stopped by the Tidal Basin for pictures with a cherry blossom background Sunday. As the squads formed, a crowd gath ered. An impromptu drill near the Japanese cherry trees memorial was applauded by more than 500. Congressman Casey’s neighbors gaped in admiration late Satur day as the Fish performed for the representative. They put on the show at 10 p.m. after a barbecue provided by the congressman and his staff. A 1,021-signature telegram from the campus sparked the team along. The 30-foot long message arrived two hours be fore the drill competition. Waiting for transportation to Dulles Airport Sunday morning, the FDT drilled at the National 4-H Center, with 200 incoming Kentucky 4-Hers looking on. The team’s attitude was sum med up Sunday during tours of national monuments, including the Iwo Jima statue, across the Potomac from Lincoln Memorial. Two of the fish surveyed the weathered brass memorial. “Just think what a dozen fresh men and a quart of Brasso would do for that,” one commented.
