The progress that has happened since Palmer took control of the intramural program has been tre mendous. Palmer isn’t new to A&M athletics or the intramural program. He was the chief intra mural official in 1947-1948 while an undergraduate at A&M. He entered A&M in 1941 as a freshman and except for a five year stint in the Army-Air Force in World War II, has been here since. He began teaching here in 1951 in the Physical Education De partment after he obtained his Master of Education. He taught bowling and tennis until 1954 when he became the freshman baseball coach. He currently is teaching a safe ty education course and is an academic advisor to Physical Edu cation majors in addition to being the director of intramurals. Many changes have taken place in the intramural department since Palmer took over the reins. He has added more classes, more sports and more participants to the program than ever before. “My goal is to build this pro gram back to where it is one of the most important parts of the university student’s life,” Palmer says. He blames the drop in populari ty to the many other forms of recreation available to the stu dent. He says that when he was here, it was very important to be a part of the intramural pro gram and to participate in sports. He added that it is possible to make the program better this year and that more participation as the result would provide this. Palmer’s changes already prov en beneficial. As an example, there are 106 football teams now playing flag football as compared to 66 teams last year. Palmer made several changes immediately which were all aimed to include more students in the sports action. He organized tv/o women’s leagues. A faculty-staff league which plays volleyball and a student league playing basket ball. Each league has six teams. He revised the schedules in a manner that teams in most sports are playing more games than they were in the past. He also added two more classes. A class for club and fraternity teams and a class for apartments were added so that there would be a class for everybody. To interest people, all-star teams will be announced for the four major sports. Teams will be selected by the intramural office in each class from football, bas ketball, volleyball and softball. He is also attempting to up grade the intramural officials. He is having periodic rule meet ings and has outfitted them in a standard dress. He will conduct a compulsory one-week training session for all officials beginning next year. Palmer lists lack of money and lack of facilities as the main drawbacks in improving the pro gram. He says that the students have to show a desire, by more participation, for more facilities to the proper administrators if they are to get them. And more participation is the only method to show them. Palmer’s illustrious career in the sports world has taken on many facets. All the way from being a professional baseball player to author of several books and publications. He is or has been a member of the following organizations at some time during his career: Ma jor League Baseball Scouts Asso ciation; Texas Bowling Propri etors Association; Certified In structor, Texas Society of College Teachers of Education, Former Students Association, Southwest Football Officials Association and the National Physical Education Association for Men. He has been a professional base ball scout for the California An gels, advisor to the Memorial Stu dent Center Bowling Committee, football coach at Bryan Travis Elementary School, A&M Fish Camp Counselor, and a member of a team which placed second in state doubles bowling compe tition. He has also written several books including: “Man and the Motor Car,” “The Black Book,” “Baseball Fundamentals for Water polo Aggies make third place showing in New Mexico tournament last weekend Falling down behind the Uni versity of New Mexico and Wyo ming, the Texas A&M Water Polo Club drew third place hon ors in a water polo tournament that was sponsored by UNM in Albuquerque.

Californians Les Hamman and Fred Meyers threw the ball for four and one points respectively against the tough host team of UNM, but five points weren’t enough to pace the Ags against the experience of the Lobos as they lost 10-5. The second victory for the Ag gie players came against the team from Brigham Young Uni versity late Saturday afternoon, as A&M tiirned in its best team effort. 6f'the entire"tourney“>' v.

In the last game played by the Aggies against a very aggressive Wyoming club, Hamman, Meyers, and Jones were able to come up with only five points to match Wyoming’s nine, thus eliminat ing the Aggies from the tourna ment. A&M was leading in the last game through the first half and were still very much in the game until the last quarter.
