The A&M Consolidated Tigers,
fresh from their first victory of
the year last week, travel to
Houston Friday night to tangle
with the tough Furr Brahmas.
The Bulls bring a 3-1 record
(into the 8 p.m. tussle while the
Aggie Soccer Team
To Start Weekend
Iwith Texas Match
The Aggie soccer team gets the
sports weekend at A&M off and
running with a game against
Texas University Saturday at 2
|p,m. The game will be played
on the drill field across the street
Sifrom the Memorial Student Cen
ter.
to 1-3 following their 7-6 win
over Cypress-Fairbanks last Fri
day night. Furr has beaten C. E.
King (Houston), Pasadena Dobie,
and Huntsville, 19-0, last Friday.
They lost their only game to Port
Acres.
The Tigers probably showed
their best offensive strength of
the season in handing the close
loss to Cy-Fair. Coach Jack
Churchill expressed pleasure in
the way the offensive team moved
the ball against the tough Cardi
nal line.
“I felt the offense moved the
ball exceptionally well,” Chur
chill said. “The only reason we
didn’t score more on several long
drives was because of small er
rors which we will try to cor
rect in practice,” he continued.
Churchill also had special
praise for the defensive unit cit-
bo Butler, and Jim Woods, who
came in for the injured Bart In-
glis. Inglis left the game with
a sprained ankle but is expected
to be back in action for the Furr
tilt.
The Tigers will go with the
same starting lineup Friday night
with the exception of the full
back position. Junior Richard
Marshall (160) is slated to start
so that regular fullback Larry
Terrell can concentrate on de
fense. Terrell and Jimbo Butler
will man the two linebacker posi
tions against the Brahmas.

Lolich Changes
Style; St ill Bru ndage Gets Way
Rips Redbirds In 0 i ympic Ballot
ST. LOUIS <A>) — Mickey Lo
lich changed his mind and altered
his pitching plan midway in
Thursday’s climactic World Series
duel with Bob Gibson.
But the stocky southpaw would
not change his habits . . . not
with the Detroit Tigers’ biggest
killing in 23 years riding on every
pitch.
Lolich, working with two days
rest in the seventh and deciding
game, stymied Gibson and his St.
Louis Cardinals 4-1 for his third
series triumph and Detroit’s first
world championship since 1945.
The 28-year-old motorcycle
buff, relegated to the Detroit
bullpen at one point in the regu
lar season, emerged as the Series
standout with his third route
going performance.
But he hadn’t expected to be
around at the finish . . . not after
having pitched nine innings Mon
day. Neither had Manager Mayo
Smith or the favored Cardinals.
“I figured I might be strong
for five or six innings, then tire
real fast,” he said. “But it didn’t
happen. I felt the same in the
ninth inning as the first.”
“I would have settled for six
innings from him,” said Smith.
“I had Wilson and McLain
warming up in the bullpen. But
he sure surprised me. He got
better as he went along.”
MEXICO CITY (A*) _ Avery
Brundage, long the center of con
troversy in the world of interna
tional sports, won re-election
Thursday as president of the In
ternational Olympic Committee
on the eve of the strife-torn
Games of the 19th Olympiad.
Brundage, a rich, 81-year-old
Chicagoan, defeated his only ri
val, Conte Jean de Beaumont of
France in a secret ballot cast by
the 57 members attending the
IOC sessions.
The tough American had his
own way. There had been talk
of limiting the term to two years,
but Brundage insisted on four
years or nothing, and won.
Meanwhile, the Mexican gov
ernment moved sternly against
university students and their
sympathizers whose rioting over
the last two months cast a shad
ow over the Games and caused
50 or more deaths. Formal
charges ranging from sedition to
homicide were placed against 113
persons, including two women.
A high official told The Asso
ciated Press it was learned from
the arrested students that a plan
was concocted to kidnap a prom
inent athlete in order to draw at
tention to their cause.
The Games open here Satur
day. While there is the possibili
ty of some kind of demonstra
tion by the Mexican students,
or a show of sympathy on the
part of student athletes from oth
er nations, the government has
brought such strong army forces
to Mexico City, and called out so
many police, any disorder appears
unlikely.
The students are demanding
the release of all student prison
ers, and removal of all troops and
police from school buildings.
The city itself was calm and
even gay as the time to open the
Games drew near.
The sacred Olympic torch, lit
at Olympia in Greece, was being
carried by relay runners closer
and closer to the capital. Friday
night it will be shown to a vast
crowd at the ancient Toltec pyra
mids of Teotihuacan on the out
skirts of Mexico City. A bril
liant pageant of sound and light
has been arranged.
Saturday, it will be carried in
to the 80,000-capacity Olympic
Stadium near the University of
Mexico by a young Mexican girl
athlete, Enriqueta Basilic Sote
lo, and used to light the big gas
fed torch that burns day and
night throughout the Games.
