The Texas Aggies opened
spring football drills yesterday
and wasted no time in starting
contact work.
Approximately 100 candidates
were on hand for the two-hour
session and Coach Gene Stal
lings said afterwards, “We’ve
got a long way to go.”
The Aggie coach added, how
ever, that he thought the squad,
“7
on the whole, showed a lot of
effort and “didn’t look too bad.”
Robert Stansberry, a squad-
man from Eden and Kyle Gary,
a redshirt from Dallas, were the
Maroon quarterbacks while let-
term en Jimmy Sheffield of
Houston and redshirt Rocky Self
of San Antonio, were the second
unit of White quarterbacks.
A lot of shifting is likely the
first week in the battle for the
coveted maroon jerseys which
signify first-team status.
Stallings has stated that the
primary objective of spring drills
is to learn who’ll be the first-
team players next fall. A lot of
positions are up for grabs as 25
lettermen finished their eligibil
ity at the close of last season.
The Maroon backfield Tues
day, in addition to quarterback,
had Gary Armbrister, a redshirt
from Houston and letterman Bill
Seeley of Brownwood at tail
back; Marc Black, a redshirt
from New Mexico Military
Academy, at fullback and letter-
man senior Barney Harris of
San Antonio at wingback.
Sonny Benefield, who pitched
the last two innings for A&M in
relief, got credit for the win
while Ripple, who went the final
four innings for Houston, was
charged with the defeat.
The Aggies went into the ninth
with a 4-1 lead but a three run
eruption by the Cougars knotted
the score. Walter Varvel took
over on the mound for the Ag
gies in the inning replacing
Charles Kelley and was greeted
with three singles.
Rod Johnson led off the rally
with a hit while Jim Sparkman
and Art Toombs followed with
singles for one run. After Rich
ard Schwartz had grounded out,
Larry Martin singled in the
second run of the inning.
Benefield replaced Varvel at
this point and after walking Lee,
the Sweeney righthander got
Don Hill to fly out to Bob
Arnold with the final Houston
run scoring after the catch.
Benefield struck out to end the
threat.
The Aggies had opened up

CHARLOTTE, N. C. <A>>—The
American Basketball Associa
tion completed its annual player
draft Tuesday and said it plans
to match dollars with its major
league rival for the cream of

Club owners said they will
concentrate on signing some of
the better players known to be

up next week.
“We are going after our
choices with the knowledge that
we will have to fight to get
them,” said Bill Sharman, coach
of the Los Angeles Stars. “And
that means we expect to pay for
them.”

Jd^Hike Zantac,
ll new idea into
cold remedy.
\ ■: . :
Seven years ago, Menley & James was a
brand-new company, with a new idea for a
cold remedy: Contac.
This field was already dominated by 2
giant drug companies, who could outspend
Contac 10 to 1.
But Contac was a good product, and
advertising put it across.
Contac’s "tiny time pills" seemed like
a good idea to enough people to make it #1
in just a year and a half!
Now Contac has added a new nasal
mist to their line-up—and you can bet
they’ll be advertising it!
Maybe you, like Dick, think advertis
ing hurts competition, raises prices, favors
big outfits, helps keep useless products on
the market. But actual cases prove just the
opposite. Advertising encourages competi
tion (as in Contac’s case.) Lowers prices
(color TV, for instance.) Gives us a choice.
Promotes new ideas (like aerosol shave
cream.) Helps the imaginative little guy
catch up.
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.
