Golf Doubles
Changes Format
Roddy Dunnell prepares to shoot as Jim
Magdalenski defends against the shot. Gary
Gray, far left, tries to block out Magdalenski
as Cornelius Velzeboer looks on.
Coach Gary Gray blows his
whistle ending drills and begins
setting up his team’s spread of
fense. Sound like any one of a
thousand other basketball prac
tice sessions? What makes Coach
Gray and his team’s practice di-
ferent from most others?
Gray is a handicapped student
here at Texas A&M University
and a member of the Association
of Handicapped Athletes. His
present duties are to shape up
A.H.A.’s roundball team for fu
ture competition.
A.H.A. is an extramural sports
club which was founded just two
years ago through the joint ef
forts of the Students Concerned
for the Handicapped and former
University President Jarvis Mil
ler, according to A.H.A. presi
dent Jim Magdalenski. Mag
dalenski added that the club is
open to all students, whether
handicapped or not.
This year is the club’s first year
to play basketball. In addition to
basketball, they also participate
or plan to participate in bowling,
table tennis, racquetball, hand
ball, track and field, and pool.
Presently the basketball team
consists of handicapped players
Jeff Wilkensen, Roddy Dunnell,
Cornelius Velzeboer, Steven
Tipps as well as Gray and Mag
dalenski. Non-handicapped as
sociation members are assistant
player-coach Larry Boldt, Larry
McNeil, and Bill Harrington.
Harrington, a physical educa
tion major, said he enjoys com
peting with the handicapped ath
letes and feels that both he and
they benefit from the experi
ence.
“I am taking an adaptive phys
ical education course and the
first hand experience is good,”
he said. He added that their
skills are not yet fully developed
and that since he played basket
ball in high school, he feels he
can help. Harrington did add,
however, that he had never fin
ished so low (second to last) in
wind sprints as he has in the
A.H.A. Last place belonged to a
non-handicapped player as well.
Club president Magdalenski
works through other students for
the organization while Roddy
Dunnell is the man on the in
side. Dunnell works with the IM
Dept., coordinating the club’s
functions.
Dunnell works with James
Welford, Associate Director of
Intramural-Recreational Sports.
Welford serves as a supervisor to
all extramural clubs.
Welford said that the A.H.A.
is handled the same as any other
extramural club. He said some
exceptions are made due to their
chairs and so forth, but the rest
of the time they are to follow the
same procedures.
One of the difficulties that has
arisen in the past has been an
adequate accessible practice
area. However, with the comple
tion of East Kyle, this problem
has virtually been solved. The
team presently practices on the
third floor of East Kyle using the
elevator for access. Unfortunate
ly, early in the semester, non
handicapped students would
“overload” the elevator causing a
shortage.
The elevator has since been
designated as handicapped use
only and the problem seems to
have been alleviated. The IM-
REC SPORTS DEPT, and the
A.H.A. thanks everyone for their
continued cooperation. Without
that elevator, the Association of
Handicapped Athletes cannot
get up to the third floor to prac
tice or watch their friends who
are not in chairs play.
The spirit and enthusiasm that
the A.H.A. exhibits is a model
for all. The Aggie Spirit is still
alive.
This spring the Intramural
Golf Doubles Tournament will
offer two styles of competition.
All classes will compete in for
mats that are different from pre
vious years.
Classes A & B will both com
pete in a modified best ball tour
nament. Each person must ac
count for at least 6 of the eigh
teen holes per round, with no
hole being counted twice. The
qualifying round of 18 holes for
this tournament will be held on
Sunday, April 12. Individuals
qualifying for the finals will play
an additional 18 holes at a time to
be determined. Men’s, Wom
en’s, and Co-Rec competition
will be available in both Classes
A & B.
Class C golfers will be compet
ing in a Florida Scramble com
petition. Each player will tee off.
the best shot will be selected d
both players will play their Ml
shot from that spot. This
shot selection will be used#
every shot until the hole hs bee:
completed. The Class Cwinnen
will be determined by the li
hole totals only. This 18
competition will be eonducteJ
on Saturday afternoon, April 11
Class C competition will also in
clude Men’s, Women’s, andCo-
Rec.
Another change this year in
volves payment of green fee.
Fees will be collected this year
in the Intramural Office at
time of entry. Students will pay
$3.00 per round while f:
staff, and spouses will pay 511
per round. Club members
present their membership let
slips at the time of entry so that
the fee may be waived.

With the onset of the warm, sunny days, A&M’s outdoor poolis
beginning to resemble Daytona Beach at spring break. Student!

refreshing break during a busy day and on a leisurely weekend as
well.
The Intramural-Recreational Sports Department would like
remind swimmers, sunbathers, and star-gazers that anyone \s
enters the pool area must present a student I.D. or a recreational

selves must pass a swimming proficiency test administered by tkt
lifeguard. Once this test is passed, the child can then have his/liei

Penberthy Celebration Opens: Don’t Delay!
The Second Annual Penber
thy Celebration of Sports is
now open for entries.
The main attraction of this 48
hour sports extravaganza is a
non-stop slow pitch softball
tournament. Beginning at noon
on Friday, March 27, teams in
each of the three divisions
(men’s, women’s, and co-rec)
will be vying for the cham
pionship of their respective di
vision. Softball action will con
tinue around the clock until
champions in each division are
determined.
An entry fee of $40 per team
will be charged and awards will
be given to members of the top
two teams in each division. En
tries are being accepted in the
Intramural Office (159 East Ky
le) and since space and time is
limited, the IM Dept, advises
that you don’t wait too long to
enter.
In addition to the softball
tournament, special events will
be held on Saturday afternoon,
March 28. These events will
include the ever-popular tobac
co spitting contest, a frisbee
throwing contest, horseshoe
pitching, home run hitting, and
a barrel walk.
The weekend’s events are in
honor of the Father of A&M
Intramurals, Mr. Walter L.
Penberthy. “Mr. Penny” came
to A&M in 1926 to teach physi
cal education and serve as In
tramural Director. “Mr. Pen
ny” reorganized the intramural
program so that every student
had the chance to participate.
During his tenure at A&M,
“Mr. Penny” also held other
positions within the Universi
ty, including Head of Health
and Physical Education, Chair
man of the MSC Council, and
Chairman of the Athletic Coun
cil. In 1947, he became Dean
of Men. He later returned to
full-time teaching in 1959.
The Intramural-Recreational
Sports Department is honored
to have Mr. Penberthy throw
out the first pitch for the big
gest special event of the IM
year.
