The honorees are Lowell “Tiny” Keen, Class of 1922; Roy “Beau” Bell, Class of 1931; the late Her bert “Herbie” Smith, Class of 1940; and Marion “Dookie” Pugh, Class of 1941. Keen, who now lives in Dallas, was one of the most versatile and successful of Aggie athletes. In 1921, Keen lettered in football, basketball and track, and all three teams won Southwest Conference championships. He was all-con ference in basketball and set shot put and discus records in track. In all, he won three letters in track, two in basketball and two in football and served as basket ball captain in 1922. Bell was the first Aggie in any sport to win All-America honors when he was named to the 1931 team as a centerfielder. He was captain of the 1931 Aggie team and led A&M to its first SWC baseball crown. He also lettered twice in basketball. Bell played in the major leagues with the St. Louis Browns, Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Indians. In eight years in the majors, Bell had a lifetime batting average of .297. In 1936 he hit .340 to finish sec ond to Joe Dimaggio by less than two percentage points for the batting title. Bell led A&M to two SWC baseball titles in eight years as coach from 1950-57. He is cur rently building supervisor for the university and lives in College Station. Despite his 5-10, 152-pound size, Smith was co-captain of the 1939 national championship foot ball team. He was unanimous all conference defensive end and made second team All-America. He is still on the all-time Sugar Bowl team for his play against Tulane in 1940. Smith gave his life for his country in World War II when he rode his plane to a crash landing rather than bail out and risk having the plane crash into a populated area. The Ameri can Legion Post in his hometown of San Angelo bears his name. Pugh was one of two quarter backs on the 1939 national cham pionship team and then went on to lead the 1940 team to a co championship, the first time any SWC champion had repeated. The 1939-40 teams ran up a string of 19 consecutive victories, a record which stood for 25 years. He was on the bench with a knee injury when Texas ended the string. Pugh also made all-conference as a first baseman in baseball. Fol lowing service in World War II, Pugh played three years of pro fessional football with the New York Giants and was called by owner George Mira “the best quarterback I ever had.” Pugh lives in College Station, where he owns a lumber yard and has extensive real estate holdings. Thompson appointed by pro football owners as link between players and management By MIKE RATHET Associated Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (A*)—John Thomp son was tapped by National Foot ball League owners Wednesday to bridge the admitted communi cations gap with the players and said he wanted to start by cor recting a misconception about the establishment attitude toward in juries. Thompson, who becomes Execu tive Director of the NFL Player Relations Association after serv ing as assistant to conference president George Halas, said the owners' decision not to partici pate in an injury study under taken by the NFL Players' Asso ciation had led to the misconcep tion. “The impression has been left that the owners don’t care about the players — and that’s ludi crous,” Thompson pointed out. “They do care and they always have cared.

LOUIS sideration alone makes any such impression ludicrous “Payments to injured players in salary alone, at a very conserv ative estimate, are at least $5 million a year. Would the owners try to save a couple of bucks by turning their backs on a study? The fact is the league is compil ing raw data on injuries all the time.” The subject of injuries is one of the areas that the NFL own ers, in selecting Thompson, ob viously feel require bridges to be built for better owner-player communications. • “It has become clear to us that we need a more continuous com munications link with the players and their association than the club presidents can provide,” said Wellington Mara of the New York Giants in announcing Thompson’s new job.

Now the vehicle seems to be the na tional office of the players’ asso ciation and a widening of the gap rather than a closing.” “If you don’t have good com munications, little annoyances be come major problems. Very often that stems from not being able to sit down together and admit tedly the owners at this time of year are concerned more with their own football teams. “That can lead to lack of communication and when both sides don’t understand what the problems of either side are, mis trust develops.” SBISA HALL CASH CAFETERIA Please excuse the inconvenience.
