the Horned Frogs Friday and
then lost a single game Saturday.
TCU won Friday’s opening game
7-6 and Saturday’s contest 10-2
while the Aggies took Friday’s
second game 8-5.
THE AGGIES are now 10-2 for
the season and 4-2 in SWC action.
Texas leads the conference with
a 6-0 mark followed by Rice with
a 4-0 record. Following A&M in
the SWC race are Texas Tech
(2-1), TCU (2-4), Baylor (1-5)
and Southern Methodist (0-7).
After jumping away to a seem
ingly safe 5-0 lead in the first
game of the series, the Aggies
had the roof cave in on them. A

TCU roared back in the sixth
inning for five runs to tie the
game.
A&M, which had taken the ini
tial lead on a two-run homerun
by Pete Maida in the second and
a three-run blast by Bob Arnold
in the fifth, got their third home-
run of the game to take a 6-5
lead in the top of the ninth. Dave
Elmendorf, A&M sophomore out
fielder, had the ninth-inning clout.
TCU CAME back in the bottom
of the inning to work Aggie relief
pitcher Walter Varvel for a walk
with the runner moving to second
on a sacrifice.
Varvel got Jeff Newman on
strikes for the second out but a
walk to Bill Ferguson put two
runners on base. Rick Rickard
then lined a hit to left center to
drive home both TCU runs.
The Aggies 12-hit attack was
paced by Boyd Hadaway with
three and Arnold with two.
COACH CHANDLER’S base-
ballers struck for eight runs in
the fourth, fifth and sixth innings
to come from behind to record
their win. The Aggies picked up
three in both the fourth and sixth
and three in the fifth.
TCU which led 2-0 and 4-3
could never catch the Aggies after
the fifth inning. Hadaway and
Arnold eacl\ had two hits in the
game for A&M while Eddie
Vaughn contributed a two-run
pinch-hit homer.
DAVE BENESH used strong
eight-hit pitching to record the
win while Stan Chick came on to
supply the needed relief in the
seven-inning game. Chick came
on in the final inning to stop a
TCU rally with the help of a
double play started by third base-
man Mike DeNiro.
In the third game of the series,
it was all TCU as the Horned
Frogs erupted for four runs in
the first inning and were never
headed.
Water Polo Match
Set Here Tonight
The Aggie water polo team
has a match with the Des Moines
YMCA team tonight at 7:30 in
the P. L. Downs Natatorium.
Last season Des Moines was
the national YMCA water polo
champion.
A&M will be using the match
to get ready for the National In
vitational Tournament in New
York City on April 17-19.
But how come
that color TV set
his fraternity just bought
costs *300 less than
it used to?
Ten years ago, a typical 21-inch color TV set sold for $700.
Today, you can get a comparable set for under $400. With a
lot of improvements, to boot. Like automatic fine tuning. And
less need for servicing.
What brought the price down so dramatically? Many mil
lions of dollars of advertising, mainly.
Weren't there a lot of technological improvements, too? Yes.
But they might have actually added to the price—without the
vast increase in sales, and volume production, made possible by
this advertising.
Maybe you, like Steve, think advertising raises prices, favors
big outfits, helps keep useless products on the market. But actual
cases prove just the opposite. Advertising lowers prices (like color
TV.) Encourages competition. Promotes new ideas. (Contac, for
instance.) Helps the imaginative little guy catch up (like Diet
Rite Cola, who beat the big cola companies with a good product
...and advertising.)
Interested? Write us. We’ll gladly send you more facts about
advertising. You'll find they speak for themselves.
In the meantime, keep an open mind.

BOB LONG started the game
for A&M with a first inning
homerun but that was about all
the offense the Aggies could
muster for the day. They did
score another run in teh third and
had two hitsb y Mike DeNiro but
it wass all for naught.
TCU, which manhandled the
Aggie pitching for 12 hits, added
to their total with three in the
third, two in the fourth and one
in the eighth.
BOB SHAW relieved TCU
starter Rod Monahan in the sec
ond and pitched one-hit shutout
ball the rest of the way.
The Aggies are off this week
and return to the field Monday
in San Antonio against St. Mary’s.
A&M plays Notre Dame in San
Antonio Tuesday and then has a
weekend SWC series at home
against Texas Tech.

Here’s one way. Invest in a
