■■ '■iillj aroon-White Teams Drill or Saturday’s Big Contest j Coaches Bud Moore and Dee [Jowell sent their Maroon, and (flute squads through separate ■orkouts Tuesday in preparation for Texas A&M’s final spring fi )tball game here Saturday af- tternoon. I Moore, head coach of the White Ram that has Edd Hargett at Riarterback, worked his unit on Ijftffensive timing and then em phasized the kicking game the latter part of the drill with half back Tom Sooy booting field goals from long range. Powell, whose Maroon unit has Charlie Riggs at quarterback, had his crew in some heavy contact work early and then worked on punt coverage with Steve O’Neal doing the booting. O’Neal will punt for both teams Saturday.

And such was the case after ®ogan, a spirited gallery at his els, tuned up for the $115,000 lonial National Invitation Golf |Tournament. ■The 22nd Colonial opens Thurs- ay over the 7,132-yard, par 70 irinity River course. “Nobody can say he’s going to in a tournament,” Hogan re sponded when asked about his itle chances here. “I can’t say ... You never now. If I could make a few putts I might have a chance.” A five-time champion here, he on his last Colonial crown in 1959, beating Fred Hawkins in a play off with a one-under-par 69. It was mentioned that Hogan id played extremely well at the lampions in Houston a couple of [eeks ago, and earlier had lumbled the mighty Masters iourse with a 66. “These are different type golf lurses,” Hogan explained. Traditional Slacks at 3tm Mnnicr. w mcnb mcitr “You play different. You have to play a little different on each course and the transition each time is pretty tough.” He had said earlier that he’s “playing pretty well. The putting is better—still not good, but better.” Another name from the past, Julius Boros, twice a Colonial titlist, was asked if he felt on the verge of a third victory. “Why not?” he replied. “I’m really playing pretty good. And I play this type course as well as an easy one. You have to drive it pretty straight and the best part of my game is driving and long irons.” Hogan and Boros were over looked in the pre-tourney press poll, which named Masters’ cham pion Gay Brewer Jr. as the prob able winner. Brewer finished in a tie for 20th last year. Even at that, it was twice as good as the previous year. His best effort here was a tie for fourth in 1964. Among the early arrivals tour ing the long, demanding course were three former champions, Bruce Devlin, Billy Casper and Doug Sanders. Devlin is the de fending champ. Arnold Palmer and Jack Nick- laus, both back after missing the 1966 event, were not among the first wave of arrivals.

Main, Bryan THE BATTALION Wednesday, May 17, 1967 College Station, Texas Page 5 The two team, very evenly div ided, eat separately, workout separately and already have work ed up a high competitive spirit for the Saturday clash. The kickoff will be at 3 p.m. Saturday. Some 30 members of the news media already are registered to play in an 18-hole golf tourna ment here Friday afternoon and some 24 already are slated to be in the press box for the Saturday game. The final workout prior to the game will come Thursday. Both coaches said there will be no con tact and that a lot of emphasis will be placed on the kicking game in Thursday’s drill. Moore said he thought the game was a toss-up. Powell, striving for a psychological edge, said his Maroon Club should be considered the underdog. Only One Strike Thrown To Batter In 19 Appearances MINNEAPOLIS OP) — For baseball pitchers who think their control is pretty good, Minne apolis Central High School Coach Jim Anderson has an acid test. Nobody’s passed it yet. Nineteen times this spring, Anderson has sent sophomore Ricky Raski to bat as a pinch hitter. Nineteen times, Ricky has drawn a base on balls. Only one pitcher has managed to throw a strike to Ricky. Ricky stands only 39 inches tall. “He’s a real ballplayer, and he’s not a bad hitter,” Anderson said. “Don’t kid yourself ... I wouldn’t play him if it would affect him adversely. He’s great to have on the team, and he’s a good worker.” Ricky’s size is not his only drawback. He’s a left- handed second baseman. That’s the main reason he doesn’t play much in the field. “The coach hasn’t given me the hit sign yet, so I haven’t taken a rip at the ball. But I’m getting the temptation. I’m just waiting for a slow pitch and maybe I’ll go after it,” says Ricky. BRAKES, THEN REVERSE Don Buford, Chicago White Sox runner, suddenly reversed his field when he discovered he didn’t have third base stolen. Los Angeles Angels third baseman Paul Schaal (42) got ball from catcher, chased Buford back toward second, and finally made tag himself in Chicago.

Guerry, 18, is the son of Alex Guerry Jr. In 1966 the Guerry family was chosen “tennis family of the year” in the Southern section of the country. Estep and Guerry, the only time they played together, won the Sugar Bowl junior doubles in 1965. Glenn Yarbrough: A lyrical look at life Few performers today can communicate the essential meaning of a song like Glenn Yarbrough. In this new album, Glenn expresses the poetry and lyrical beauty of such contemporary songs as “Gently Here Beside Me,” “Pleasures of the Harbor,” “For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her,” “Golden Under the Sun” and “Every body’s Wrong.” These are love songs . . . sometimes sweet, sometimes sad — but all repre sentative of life — and it takes a great performer like Glenn to make them live. top cash for used books reR wHEnEVER X FillD HER^V ffiSBB gBaSBflESEI ms 1 RC AVlCTOR (®The most trusted name in sound
