THE BATTALION
Ags host Lamar Saturday
By CLIFFORD BROYLES
Battalion Sports Editor
What should prove to be an
outstanding weekend for the
pitchers will be on tap as the
Lamar Tech University Cardinals
visit Kyle Field for a doublehead
er Saturday at 1 p. m.
A&M, currently 5-1 for the
season, will meet a team that
finished second in the Southland
Conference last year and has a
4-4-1 record this season.
The Cardinals return their top
three pitchers from last year’s
20-17 unit but are having to re
build their infield, where they lost
everybody.
The Cardinals’ three pitchers
are 6-4 225 senior Danny Hetzel,
was 4-0 last year with a spar
kling 1.04 era. Rich Leedy was
2-2 with a 1.56 era. David Ben-
sen was 3-3 with a 1.78.
The Aggies are hitting the
home stretch before conference,
as they will have a doubleheader
Tuesday on Kyle Field with Sam
Houston at 1 p.m., who they split
with Tuesday in Huntsville, be
fore opening SWC play next
weekend with a three-game home
series against Southern Methodist
University.
Coach Tom Chandler has named
senior righthanders Pat Jamison
to start Saturday’s opener. Jami
son has been used primarily in
relief since joining the Aggie
staff last year from Blinn Junior
College. He has pitched three
innings in two games this season
with a 0-0 record and 3.00 era.
Freshman Jackie Binks, who
has pitched 7 scoreless innings
in a row after allowing three runs
in his first varsity inning, will
pitch the second game. Binks
shutout St. Edwards for six
innings in his last appearance
and has a 1-0 record with a 3.37
Only one change is expected in
the A&M lineup with Jimmy
Langford missing the double-
header because of the flu. Jimmy
Hacker will replace the Aggie
shortstop, but will play third base.
Butch Ghutzman will move to
shortstop.
The starting lineup for the
Aggies and their averages were:
Ghutzman, shortstop, .318; R. J.
Englert, leftfield, .500; Dave
Elmendorf, centerfield, .500; Billy
Hodge, catcher, .438; Chris Sans,
first base, .227; Jim Sampson,
right field. .222; Jimmy Hacker,
third base, .200; Carroll Lilly,
second base, .600; Jamison, 0-0
3.00.
Trackmen meet Owls again
By JOHN CURYLO
The Texas Aggie track team
journeys to Baton Rouge for a
meet Saturday with Rice and
LSU, in hopes of overcoming
numerous injuries to key person
nel.
Coach Charlie Thomas' thin-
clads are fresh from a second
place fiinsh at the Border Olym
pics in Laredo last weekend, al
though they ran without some of
their top point winners.
A&M tied the Owls here two
weeks ago, and were barely nosed
out last week. The team was not
at full strength for either of these
meets.
“If we can get everybody well,
we should be able to take it,”
Thomas said. A variety of inju
ries, a death, and an illness will
keep several Aggies from per
forming in top condition or even
making the trip.
Willie Blackmon will attend the
funeral of his uncle. He ran a
1:52.7 in the 880 here against
Rice. Also not making the trip
will be Mitch Robertson, a shot
putter, whose wife is ill.
Among the injured are Curtis
Mills, Marvin Mills, and Kris
Johnson. Curtis was injured in
the Border Olympics, hurting his
ankle, knee, and shoulder in a
fall. Thomas reports that he is
coming around pretty good.
Marvin, on the other hand, pull
ed a hamstring muscle in the As
trodome several weeks ago. He
competed for the first time last
week, but he did not run in the
finals.
“He’ll make the trip,” Thomas
said, “but we’ve made no decision
about what he’ll run. We may
put him in the mile relay, but be
yond that, I really can’t say.”
Johnson, the number two jav
elin thrower, is having trouble
with his elbow. Marc Black, the
top performer in the event for the
Aggies, placed first at Laredo
with a heave of 231-8. He is ex
pected to do even better this
week.
Thomas is also pleased with
miler Frank Ybarbo. Ybarbo will
compete in the mile at Baton
Rouge, but it is not known if he
will double by entering the three
mile run.
Another reliable bright spot for
A&M has been Rockie Woods.
Thomas said he is looking “real
good” and that he will run in the
100 and the 220. The coach added
that the hurdlers and the vault-
ers have been doing well and
working hard.
Other top events should be the
440 yard relay, the high jump,
and the pole vault. Depending on
the health of some of the sprint
ers, the sprint relay is an Aggie
race.race. In the high jump, Ben
Greathouse and Marvin Taylor
have been doing a 6-8, taking a
first, tow seconds, and a third
between them in the season’s first
two outdoor meets. In the pole
vault, Harold McMahan cleared
16 feet for the first time two
weeks ago. This may not touch
Rice’s Dave Roberts, who could
go over 17 feet in Louisiana, but
it will be interesting to note the
comparative progress of the two
athletes.
Some of the Aggies to watch
will be Steve Barre and. Donny
Rogers in the 100, Rogers in the
220, Don Kellar in the interme
diate hurdles, and the quartet
Thomas will pick for the mile
relay.
Barre's best in the century
came in Laredo when he ran a
preliminary of 9.5. Rogers has
been clocked in 9.8 in the 100 and
21.7 in the 220. He will probably
be on the sprint relay team also.
In the 440 yard hurdles, Kellar
was second with a 52.0 in Laredo.
David Morris was fifth with 53.9
in the same meet.
The mile relay has been both
good and bad to the Aggies this
year. Against Rice, the final event
was the one that gave A&M the
tie, but last week the same per
formance would have meant a
team victory for the Aggies. If
the right combination is well and
rested, A&M could get some val
uable points here. The best per
formance was at Kyle Field, when
Robert Brew, Skelly Strong, Kel
lar, and Curtis Mills ran a win
ning time of 3:10.3.
The triangular meet can give
A&M some valuable experience
and a chance to improve. If some
of the injured come around, the
Aggies will be well on their way
to defending the Southwest Con
ference championship they won
in fine fashion a year ago.
Norton elected to Hall
Homer Norton, who guided Tex
as A&M football to its highest
point—a national championship
in 1939 and an unbeaten season—
was one of four pioneers of col
lege football choaching named to
the National Football Founda
tion’s Hall of Fame.
All four are deceased and in
stallation into the hall will be
made at special ceremonies in the
Pioneer category.
Named along with Norton were
Jesse Clair Harper, who achieved
great success at Notre Dame from
1913-18; George Foster Samford,
who was Columbia’s first paid
coach and won twice as many as
he lost in 11 years at Rutgers;
and Francis Schmidt, who earned
fame at Tulsa, Arkansas, Texas
Christian and Ohio State.
In 1939, Norton’s Aggies rolled
to 11 straight wins, including a
14-13 win over Tulane in the
Sugar Bowl. The ’39 team set a
national record by holding their
opponents to a record low if 76.3
yards per game.
That unbeaten season was the
middle of the longest winning
streak in the school’s history, 19.
The streak started with a 27-0
win over Rice in the final game
of the 1938 season. It ended with
a 7-0 loss to the University of
Texas (now University of Texas
at Austin) in the final game of
the 1940 campaign.
Norton headed A&M football
for 14 years, winning two out
right conference championships
and tying for a third tilt. During
his 14 years, A&M won 82, lost
53 and tied 9.
He also coached baseball and
track at A&M during the World
War II years and was named to
the Texas A&M Athletic Hall of
Fame in 1965.
Coed intramural

By MICHAEL RICE
Jumping off to an early lead
in the Southwest Conference
Swimming Championships, SMU
added up 184 points and swept to
first place in all five events
Thursday in Austin.
Coach Red Barr’s heavily fa
vored Mustangs have won 14
consecutive conference meets.
A&M was the last team to win
conference before SMU’s winning
streak started in 1957.
Last year the Mustangs took
15 of the 18 events and made 725
points to outscore runner-up Tex
as by 3341/2 points. Out of 11
returning meet champions, nine
of them are from SMU.
Turning to the present, A&M
is fifth in point totals through
the first of three days of compe
tition with 59 points. Texas is
second with 102 points; Texas
Tech is third with 83 points while
Arkansas has a one point lead
over A&M with 60 points. TCU
is running a close race for last
against Rice, with the Frogs
leading 18-14.
Coach Dennis Fosdick, in his
first year at A&M, feels that his
swimmers are doing well.
“We are having some great
performances,” he said. “Take
Dan Sonnenberg for an example.
Although he didn’t qualify for
the finals in the 500 yard free
style, he swam his lifetime best
in the event with a 5:08, seven
seconds better than his previous
best and only three seconds away
from qualifying for the finals.”
As always, the good is usually
accompanied with the bad as was
the case with Eric Wolff and
Tom Sparks.
“Eric,” continued Fosdick, “was
just too over-confident. He wasn’t
worried about not making the
finals and as a result he didn’t
make them. If he had shaved
down like he should have he prob
ably would have qualified. It’s
a bad break, though, we sure
could use the points.”
Sparks, who had a strong
chance of reaching the finals in
the 50 yard freestyle, missed his
turn at the hard-to-see deep-end
of the pool, and consequently
didn’t make the finals.
Vol.
Steve Prentice, freshman swim
ming ace from Pasadena’s South
Houston High School, swam in
the finals of 200 yard individual
medley setting a new school
record of 2.01.36. Because he
swam slowly in the prelims, he
only made the consolation finil
taking first in his heat of 4
event or seventh overall.
Earlier in the day Mike Hitli
had set a record in the same evj
with 2.03.6, broke that time
a 2.03.1 in the finals, but
still beaten by Prentice’s t|
Hicks did place fifth inthecl
pionship finals.
John McCleary swam his
time in the 50 yard freestyle
a speedy 22.24, beating his
time of 22.5. He also placed
in the finals.
The real surprise of the
came in the one meter divii
which saw Duncan Cooper
Greg Rippey both place in
consolation finals, Cooper,
and Rippey, twelfth. This
Rippey’s first year to dive.
Also pulling in points, but
letdown for the Aggies was
400 medley relay team of
tice, Sparks, Doug Carson,«
Bobby Willoughby, which plai
fifth.
“The people that worked
hardest,” said Fosdick, "are g(t|
ting rewards. Those who swaj
half-heartedly in workouts
only swimming half-hearWIjI
here. But I think we’ll
some more surprises.”

When Tom retired, it seemed as if his dreams had come true. For years
he and Grace had been planning. There would be that little pink house in
Florida and time to do all the things they wanted. They could keep in touch
with their friends back home, and there would be occasional visits back
and forth.
What they hadn't realized was how much they would miss their church.
It had been such a part of their life! Now it seemed that no other church
could fill the gap. In fact, they didn't go to another church their first few
weeks in Florida.
But finally one Sunday they went to the little church they had been
passing each day on the way to the golf course. True, it wasn't like the
church back home—outwardly. But, when you got down to essentials, it was
the same.
If you have moved to another community, find a new
church home. Regardless of its appearance, remember
that it is God's House and in it you will be welcome.
