Retired SWC official speaks to club “It’s better to aim at something and miss than aim at nothing and hit,” retired SWC football of ficial Cliff (Frenchy) Domingue highlighted his talk Wednesday before the Brazos County A&M Club. The 1934 Texas A&M graduate who has seen only one Aggie game on Kyle Field since he graduated addressed 175 Brazos Aggies at their final meeting of the 1969-70 school year. Six students on club scholar ships and eight past presidents were honored at the Wyatt’s Cafeteria meeting sponsored by Gifford Hill and Co., with 1969 president Jim Forehand receiving the service award of the club.

Judge Irving Ben Cooper or dered the case to continue “until all the evidence has been ad duced,” as he turned down a mo tion by baseball’s lawyer, Mark Hughes, to dismiss all of the counts. Baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn is expected to be the first to testify Wednesday morning when the case resumes. It is ex pected to last at least another week.

Jay Topkis, one of Flood’s lawyers, disputed the defense in an impassioned plea. Topkis closed his remarks to Judge Cooper by asking the trial to continue to see “what kind of an explanation can baseball come up with to explain its fantastic system of regimentation.” Earlier in the day, Walter Ken nedy, the commissioner of the National Basketball Association, was subpoenaed by Flood’s side to testify. Kennedy said there had been one case, Oscar Robertson of Cin cinnati, who had a special rider to his contract that, in effect, gave him veto power over a trade. Kennedy said the NBA allows a player under contract to play a second year without a contract while negotiations are going on. He said some players had “jumped contracts” and signed with the rival American Basket ball Association. Summer phys ed courses listed Tennis, bowling, golf, weight training and recreational condi tioning will be A&M’s first sum mer session required physical education course offerings, Dr. Carl W. Landiss announced. The Health and Physical Edu cation Department head said a survey of past summer session registrations reveal these are the courses students want and sign up for. The courses meet requirements for Physical Education 101, 102, 201 and 202, for which students receive grade points but no credit hour. Any of the offerings can be taken as a one-hour credit elective by students registering for Physical Education 301 or 302, Landiss added. SEIZE THE TIME We can do something now.
