FIELD SALES ENGINEERS
Texas Instruments is continuing to pioneer ad

revolutionize the electronics industry. We need
a rare kind of sales engineer who can interpret
these major developments to customers well
versed in the state-of-the-art.
This takes a strong technical electronics back
ground. Enough to understand and stay in close
touch with design developments at the home
plant, and the technical ability to apply new
semiconductor concepts to key customer in
fluences at all levels, including top manage
ment. You will be responsible for managing one
to two million dollars per year semiconductor
business.
We will supplement successful candidates
formal education with a training program at our
facilities in Dallas or Houston, Texas. The ma

LOUISVILLE WP> _ It was
workout day Wednesday for the
99th Kentucky Derby, but the
people who wanted most to see
the favored Secretariat in action
were left at the gate.
In fact, Mrs. John Tweedy and
Lucien Laurin, the owner and
trainer, were left at several gates.
They couldn’t find a way to get
into Churchill Downs until it was
too late.
Like jockey Ron Turcotte, Mrs.
Tweedy had flown to Louisville
just to see the big colt’s final
workout before Saturday’s $125,-
000-added classic.
“It was ludicrous,” Mrs. Tweedy
said. “Every gate we came to had
a barrier in front of it. It’s the
first time I've ever missed a work
out when I’ve been in town for
it.”
Laurin was pleased with the
move, however, as Turcotte took
Secretariat five-eighths of a mile
in 58 3-5 seconds and galloped out
another furlong in 1:12.
Edwin Whittaker, owner of the
other Laurin-trained colt in the
Derby, Angle Light, got a better
break as Laurin changed routes
and was in plenty of time for
his workout. 1
“The second time over there,
he (Laurin) went through the
tunnel anyway and the way he
was driving, there wasn’t going
to be anybody stopping us,” Mrs.
Tweedy said.
Turcotte, who came from New
York just for the twin workouts,
sent Angle Light five furlongs in
59 flat and went out in 1:12 3-5.
He left immediately afterward,
with riding assignments Wednes
day afternoon at Aqueduct, and
will return later in the week to
ride Secretariat in America's most
famed horse race.
Meantime, trainer Lou Gold-
fine got just what he wanted in
a slightly slower workout for
Arthur Appleton’s My Gallant and
received orders to enter Joe Kell-
man’s Shecky Greene in the Der
by.
“I told the boy on My Gallant
that I wanted something between
1:01 and 1:02 for five-eighths
and he did it in 1:01 35. That’s
just what we needed,” Goldfine
said.
Kellman’s telephoned orders
were to drop the speedy Shecky
Greene’s name in the entry box
Thursday, but to scratch the colt
if there is anything but a fast
track on Saturday.
The announcement came min
utes after a sipecial delivery letter
arrived at Churchill Downs from
a fan in Indianapolis pleading for
Kellman to “give Shecky a
chance.”
One of Goldfine’s grooms—the
one with the big bruise—also had
a hopeful outlook for Shecky
Greene’s chances in America's
most famous horse race.
“He kicked me before he won
the Hutcheson and he kicked me
before he won the Fountain of
Youth,” Bob Richie said as he
worked on the son of Noholme II.
“And, man, he just kicked me
again yesterday,” he beamed.
The Derby, with a 5:40 p.m.
l)DT post time, will be seen
worldwide on television CBS,
5-6 p.m. and heard on radio CBS
from 5:15 to 5:44.
