Battalion Sports Summer League In Planning Stage A survey to determine the amount of student interest in a summer bowling league is cur rently being taken in the bowling alley of the Memorial Student Center. The survey is divided to deter mine the amount of interest in both singles and doubles competi tion. Karl Calliouet, chairman of the Billiards Committee of the Mem orial Student Center, has asked that all students planning on bowling in the summer league sign the list. He said that this was the only way an accurate appraisal could be made of the size of the league. “Cheer up, No. 51. Anyone can trip over 3rd base. But thanks to your close Norelco shave, you looked marvelous doing it.” “I guess you’re right, Miss Swinging Campus Queen.

Joe Staples and Pat Rozypal combined for two RBI’s each to lead the muscle-flexing parade. THOMPSON’S performance this year is reminiscent of the days of old when Robin Roberts used to pitch every other game for the “Whiz Kid” Philadelphia Phillies: Thompson appeared in all but one of the Aggies SWC games this season as he also finished up Saturday’s game. The'Kilgore JC transfer from Houston was not as successful on Saturday as he gave up Texas’ final two runs after he had come into the game in the ninth inning. Aggie bats were silenced in the Saturday game as they could only muster three hits off the serv ings of Tommy Moore and Jimmy Raup. One hit, however, was Bob Long’s home run which was the MOORE, THE Longhorn ace, was not supposed to start either of the weekend games because of a spike injury to his heel. Falk, knowing the title was at stake, was able to call on Moore and the fine right-hander responded with a good performance.

Defense Impresses In Weekend Session Spring football training reached the end of another week on Saturday with another spirited scrimmage on Kyle Field. Head Coach Gene Statllings was pleased with the session. He praised the players for their ef forts as the weather was very hot and not too right for football. Once again, the first defense came out on the long end as the first offense continued to have its troubles scoring on the Maroon defenders. The Maroon offense was stopped on six series of downs by the defense. It was a different story for the offense against the second-team defense. The Maroons scored six times against the Whites but not without help from the Maroon defense. The first defense inter cepted two passes against the White offense that led to scores. First team defensive back Jack Whitmore ran back one intercep tion for a 40-yard TD. Billy Hobbs grabbed the other interception and set up another Maroon score. As spring training gets closer to the spring game on May 20, the offense still is behind the defense in development. Stallings and his staff are counting on some fast improvement in the seven sessions remaining before the “Maroon and White” game. ne da m DO YOU /CAfOW... that American - Amicable Hospitalization miscella neous benefits are not allocated or scheduled?
