A&M sports news and notes. . .
Dave Johnson
wins Gold Glove
By CLIFFORD BROYLES
Battalion Sport Editor
When the Minnesota Twins were preparing their scouting report
for the American League playoffs with the Baltimore Orioles, who on
the eventual world champions did they fear most?
Brooks Robinson? No! Boog Powell? No! Frank Robinson? No!
Dave Johnson? Yes!
At least that was the opinion of the three Twin scouts, who
looked over the birds, during the final two months of the season
according to A&M baseball coach Tom Chandler.
Johnson played baseball for the Aggies in 1961 and 1962 before
leaving for professional baseball at the end of his sophomore year.
A native of San Antonio, Johnson was selected as the Gold Glove
outstanding fielding award winner for second baseman by Sporting
News last week. The winners were picked by managers and coaches of
the American League.
An interesting story lies behind Dave Johnson, and the addition
of the free agent draft in 1967 has been a big boost to college baseball.
Johnson was playing baseball for San Antonio Alamo Heights
High School when Chandler first met him, but when he did it wasn’t of
his planning.
Chandler had gone to SA to scout a pitcher and during the same
game, he saw Dave Johnson. He signed Dave Johnson and forgot about
the pitcher.
“Dave was a great clutch ballplayer,” Chandler recalled, adding
that he tried out for and started on the Aggie basketball team his
sophomore year.
He played both his freshman and sophomore years for the Aggies
but at this time pro scouts could sign players right off the college
campus.
In Houston there was a battle going over a top catching prospect,
with the Orioles one of the teams bidding for Paul Ratliff of Pasadena.
When the bidding ended, the Twins owned the contract and the
Orioles stopped off at College Station picked up Johnson, took him to
San Antonio and signed him the next day.
Ratliff now is the second-string catcher with the Twins.
The free agent draft came along in 1967 and now if a player is
drafted when he graduates from high school he has until September to
deal with the team. But when school starts the pro team no longer can
draft him until he turns 21, which in most cases would be at the end of
the players junior season.

In Monday’s Southwest Conference cross country track meet the
Aggies finished a place higher than last year—fourth—in the hills of the
Fayetteville Country Club and the element of running on an unfamiliar
course could have prevented them from catching the host team,
Arkansas, for that third spot.
The Hogs placed third with 96 points. Champion Southern
Methodist with 28 points and the UT-Austin with 46 points made a
runaway as expected.
In cross country, the low-point team wins. Teams get one point
for first place, two for second and so on.
With 107 points A&M was just a few breaks away and Ruben
Moncivaiz finished farther down than expected, 20th.
Moncivaiz, earlier in the year, had placed 10th in the NCAA
qualifying six miles at Houston against a much stronger field.
Frank Ybarbo placed fourth in the race in 14:34 and led the pack
until the final half mile of the race.
Sammy Skinner was 16th with a time of 15:02 and Jim Haynie
ran the distance in 16:01 for 33rd place. Dennis O’Biren ran a 16:17;
Joe Waltz at 16:20 and Pat Bradley a 17:22.
Moncivaiz and Ybarbo will represent A&M next Monday in the
NCAA cross country six-mile run at Williamsburg, Va.

The Corsicana Tigers, representing District 15-AAAA and the
Spring Branch Bears of District 16-AAAA will meet on Kyle Field
Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. as the first week of Texas high school
playoffs get underway.
Oddly, neither team won its district outright.
Corsicana tied for the crown with Killeen after the pair battled to
a 21-21 standoff but won the right to the playoffs on penetrations.
Spring Branch won in a real dilly of a race in which four teams,
Spring Branch, Spring Woods, Spring Branch Memorial and Conroe all
had 5-2 records. The Bears gained the playoff spot by the point spread
system.
Early reports from around the Southwest Conference show some
of last year’s stars off to good starts as everybody is now aiming to gun
down the champion Aggies.
Dave Morton, UT-Austin’s outstanding quartermiler and 880 man
ran the 880 in time trials recently in 1:50.0. It isn’t even time for a
trackman to start reaching his peak performance and Morton’s time
would have taken first place in last year’s 880 run in the SWC meet.
Rice’s Dave Roberts, one of the top pole vaulters in the
conference as a freshman, has already cleared the bar at 16-8 this fall.

Aggie water polo team
meets Texas Saturday
By JOHN CURYLO
Assistant Sports Editor
The A&M water polo team will
be out for revenge here Saturday
when they face Texas and their
former coach at 10 a.m. in Downs
Natatorium.
The combination of Longhorns
and Coach Pat Patterson of the
Austin university should make
the Aggies doubly hungry for
victory in the season opener and
their first appearance under
Coach Dennis Fosdick.
Patterson, who replaced the re
tired Art Adamson, left A&M at
the beginning of training season
for the swimmers. The new coach
Fosdick, has moved right in and
taken command, making big plans
for the future, and some helpful
changes that should brighten the
athletic scene at Aggieland for
years to come.
“We’re getting away from
something that has been used
Squadron 2 wins
third crown
Intramural sports are continu
ing this week in several sports,
with the finals approaching in
some classes. Last week Squad
ron 2 and Keathley Hall won
championships in Class A&C
handball. It is the third cham
pionship that Squadron 2 has won
this year.
One final championship was
played Tuesday. Class C horse
shoes had Puryear playing Phi
Delta Sigma in the final game.
Several league champions have
been determined in Class B foot
ball. The finals will begin early
next week. F-2(4-0), C2(4-0), G-
1(4-0), B-l(4-l) and Sq. 6(3-0-l),
have all won their leagues.
Undefeated teams in Class A
and C basketball are still abund
ant. Class A has Squadrons 2, 3,
6, 9 and B-l, C-l, L-l, A-2 and
F-2 all sporting unblemished rec
ords. Puryear, Crocker, Tennis,
Bryan Arms, Bombers and AYI
are all undefeated in Class C bas
ketball.
here for a long time,” Fosdick
explained, “and that is what is
known as the ‘man-in-the-hole’
attack. We’re initiating a fast-
break offense, and that makes
for a more exciting game, both
for the players and the specta
tors. It makes water polo a more
interesting game than it already
is.”
Fosdick added that water polo
is a spectator sport comparable
to the excitement generated by
basketball, because of the contin
uous action. The game consists of
four eight-minute quarters. The
Californian spoke of the interest
in water polo in his native state
by saying that it was not un
common for a 500-seat natatorium
to have 1500 spectators for a
game. He hopes to increase in
terest at A&M, because of the
excitement of the game and the
probable success of the team.
“The first 16 players are pretty
evenly matched,” Fosdick said,
“but I’m going with experience
by starting sophomores over
freshmen. The team is still in the
learning stages as far as the new
offense is concerned, so we’ll make
mistakes, but everyone is learning
together, and the guys have real
fast hands. We have good depth,
so things look good.
“This is definitely a body con
tact sport,” he continued, “and
that makes for some real good
games. It should be real interest
ing for someone to come out and
see what the sport is all about.
Also, there is good rivalry here,
and this game in particular will
be exciting. Texas wants to beat
the Aggies, and our guys want
to beat Texas and Pat Patterson.”
Fosdick emphasized that water
polo is an Olympic sport and that
the United States has not been
highly rated, but that America is
improving and water polo is a
growing sport in this country.
He added that he will go back to
California over the Thanksgiving
break to recruit more swimmers
for A&M.
“Swimming is a big sport out
there,” he said. “It’s estimated
that there are 100,000 competitive
swimmers in the state. There are
probably five All-Americans in
all of Houston, but I’ll go to
seven schools in one day out
there, and they’ll have five at
each school. Also, A&M ought to
be a drawing card for some of
those boys interested in major
ing in oceanography, biology or
anything else related to the wa
ter, which is a big part of their
lives.”
A water polo team consists of
six players and a goalkeeper. The
starting lineup for Saturday’s
game, according to Fosdick will
include Tom Sparks, a 6-1, 176-
pound senior architecture major
from Ardmore, Oklahoma. He will
be the capthin of the Aggie team.
The goalkeeper will be Doug Car-
son, a sophomore civil engineer
ing major from Springfield, Mo.,
who is 5-8 and 178.
The remainder of the starters
are Steve Henry, 5-9 and 155, a
senior aerospace engineering ma
jor from College Station; Mike
Hicks, 5-10 and 185, a sophomore
chemical engineering major from
Farmington, N.M.; John McClea-
ry, 6-11 and 165, a sophomore fi
nance major from Houston; Gor
don Taylor, 6-5 and 198, a sopho
more liberal arts major from
Madison, N.J.; and Eric Wolff,
6-0 and 169, a sophomore geologi
cal engineering major from Al
buquerque, N.M.

Why doesn't
General Electric talk about
thermal pollution when they
talk about nuclear
power plants?
General Electric pioneered the
development of nuclear power plants
in 1957.
Right from the beginning, we felt
that the greatest advantage of nuclear
power was environmental. Unlike
fossil-fueled power plants, nuclear
plants don't burn anything to make
electricity. And where there's no fire,
there's no smoke.
But there's a possible
disadvantage as well. It, too, is
environmental. Thermal effects.
We recognize it.
One GE advertisement you may
have seen recently pointed out that
"all nuclear power plants discharge
heat, as do fossil-fueled plants.
America's utilities, with many years
of experience, are working on
thermal problems at nuclear sites on
a plant-by-plant basis."
General Electric does talk about
thermal effects. Because they are
important, but also because we feel
the facts about them are perhaps too
little known.
Few people realize, for example,
that federal law requires utilities to
operate their plants within strict
temperature limits. Thirty states have
even stricter laws. Utilities are
spending millions of dollars on
dilution flow systems, cooling ponds
and cooling towers to comply.
But, in addition, utilities are
sponsoring basic research on the
problem of heat exchange and its
effect on aquatic life. More than 97
utilities have been financially
involved in over 300 such studies.
And each one adds a little to man's
scientific understanding of the
problem.
Some interesting things have
already come of it. For one, it's been
found that, in some cases, adding
heat to water can actually be
beneficial. Warm irrigation water has
extended growing seasons. Warm
water has created new wintering
ponds along waterfowl migration
routes.
Power-plant discharge water is
reviving Long Island's oyster trade.
Florida is using it to grow shrimp and
lobster. In Texas, it's increasing the
weight of commercial catfish by as
much as 500%.
Listing these benefits is not to
beg the issue. Thermal effects remain
a tough problem to solve at some
sites. Each plant must be considered
individually, in its own environment,
and this is being done.
General Electric, the electric
utilities and environmentalists will
continue to work. Work hard.
Because we think the advantages
of nuclear power far outweigh the
disadvantages.
Why are we running this ad?
We're running this ad, and
others like it, to tell you the things
General Electric is doing to solve
the problems of man and his
environment today.
The problems concern us
because they concern you. We're a
business and you are potential
customers and employees.
But there's another, more
important reason. These problems
will affect the future of this country
and this planet. We have a stake in
that future. As businessmen. And,
simply, as people.
We invite your comments.
