A&I Opens Season
Saturday Against TSU
The Texas A&I football
teams have participated in a
conference in 37 of their 47
seasons of play. And the
Javelinas have won or shared
18 conference championships
during that affiliated period.
The first title came in 1931
when the team shared the
Texas Intercollegiate Athletic
Association title. That was one
year after the Hogs entered the
league for their first con-
ference alignment.
Since, the championships
have come frequently and in
four different conferences.
After taking the 1931 TIAA
title, the Javelinas repeated
the following season.
The team joined the Alamo
Conference in the mid-1930’s
and won a share of the
championships in 1935, 1936
and 1937. The team was alone
at the top of the standings in
1938 and shared the trophy
again in 1939.

The Javelinas won the Texas
Conference titles in 1951 and
1953 before dropping from the
league to join the Lone Star
Conference.
A&I became eligible for LSC
title play in 1954 and it was 1959
before the squad broke into the
trophy room. But since, the
Hogs have been the league’s
big winner.
The Javelinas have won
championships in 1959, 1960,
1962, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1974
and 1975. That 1967-70 streak is
the best for any team in the
league since 1954.
A&I has won seven clear-cut
titles in the LSC, and the
second best mark has been by
East Texas, which has won
three.
The Javelinas are favored to
win their 10th LSC title this fall
and their third in a row. The
squad will open its conference
schedule Sept. 25 against
Abilene Christian in Kingsville.

Three Area Men Awarded Certificates
Odem Aldermen, Eusebio
Cano, Eloy P. Rodriguez; and
Sinton Executive Director of
the Commitee on Youth
Education and Job Op-
portunities, Pedro Rodriguez
have been awarded a cer-
tificate of completion at the
“Local Government Finance
Institute” at St. Mary’s
University in San Antonio.
Upon receiving the cer-
tificate, all three gentlemen
said, “The Institute was very
informative and thought
provoking. We gained new
insights into the technicalities
and difficulties of financing
local governments. We’ll be
much more effective public
servants as a result of what we
learned at the Institute.”
Messrs. Cano, Rodriguez,
and Rodriguez were among
some 40 local (city and county)
officials at the Institute, which
consisted of sessions dealing
with such nitty gritty topics as:
the preparation of operating
budgets; bonds and borrowing;
the role of federal and state
governments in providing
assistance to local govern-
ments and local revenue
sources. Conducting these
sessions were: Leonel Castillo,
Houston City Controller;
Henry B. Gonzalez, U. S.
Congressman; Matt Garcia.
Texas State Representative;
and Carroll B. Harvey and
Wallace White of the Joint
Center for Political Studies in
Washington D. C.
Other sessions dealt with
related topics such as: the
dilemma of minority elected
officials, constitutional duties
of Texas elected officials, the
citizen’s role in the budget
process, and an overview of
governmental management.
Conducting these sessions
were: Professors Neftali G.
Garcia, Bill Crane and Charles
Cotrell of the St. Mary’s
University Department of
Political Science; and Ben
McDonald, Director of the
Texas Department of Com-
munity Affairs.
The Institute was sponsored
by the Joint Center for Political
Studies, the Texas Department
of Political Science, and the U.
S. Civil Service Commission
