Ace Pitcher Is
Wondering Why
Salary Drop
NEW YORK, Jan. 13 (UP)—A
"frankly flabbergasted” Ray Scar-
borough, Washington's ace pitcher,
today wondered, “How can I be
worth 9100,000 a few weeks ago
and less than 920,000 now?”
The Senators set Scarborough to
wondering by offering him a 1060
contract calling for a 92,000 pay
slash from the 917,000 he received
last year.
“I just can’t understand the club’s
mathematics,” said Scarborough,
who won 13 and lost 11 in 1948
for the last-place Nats and was
lygarded one qf the American
league’s outstanding pitchers.
"When the Yankees were after
me a few weeks ago,” the 31-year-
old right-hander reasoned, "Wash-
ington was asking as much as
9100,000, for me. Now, only a few
weeks later, the club asks me to
take a cut. Man- alive, things like
that hqgt me. I was all set for a
raise, totf!”
Scarborough, in Philadelphia on
business yesterday, said he never
had any contract trouble before
with Washington Owner Clark
Griffith.

HOUSTON. Jan. 13 (UP)—Ben
Hogan, apparently set to resume
his sizzling play among the golfing
professionals, will play in thy
Houston Open tournament here
next month. •
Houston Golf Association Presi-
dent A. A. Gharrett said he hud
been advised of Hogan’s’ plans in
a telephone .-conversation with
George Srhneiter, PGA tourney
secretary.
Schneiter, now at : the' Pebble
Beach, Calif., tournament, quoted
Bantam Ben a* saying he would
return to his home in Fort Worth
after the Phoenix Open meet ends
Jan. 29. He will rejoin the winter
circuit of the nation’s best golfers
for the tournament here ut Brae

Stephenville was trouncing Cisco.
Jacket Starters
If the Stephenville starting quint
of Ken Haley, Curt PUtin, Jim
Everett, Roliert Strebeck and Don
Lowery can down the basketballing
Bucks, It will be a feather in their
hat. Any time that Stephenville can
j beat Breckenridge is quite an oc-
casion.
In their opelnng conference tilt
the Jackets looked very impressive
and made many observers feel that
this may be the year for a district
basketball championship - here.
There is not too much room for
confidence, however, since Mineral
Wells, Weatherford and Brecken-
ridge all have powerful clubs this
season.
Next home game for the local
high school group will be played
Tuesday night when they tangle
with Weatherford in the Tarleton
gym.

The Texas Aggies, who haven’t
been particularly awesome in mat-
ters athletic, during recent years,
were in the startling position to-
day of being tied for second with
SMU in tke Southwest Conference

The underdog Aggies bounced
near the top of the heap last night

at College Station by
Arkansas, 43 to 36. It was

in three seasons and raised their
I960 title-play record to two vic-

favored Arkansas. The freeuev was . -
turned on with two minutes left t
to play, with Mike Garcia and
Jewell McDowell handling the con-
trols.
Earlier, Walt Davis, McDowell
and Bill Turnbow hit crucial goals

McDowell also annexed high point
honors for the Cadets with 17.
Ambling Bob Ambler, Arkansas’
Redwood tall center, was the king-
pin’for his team, tallying 20
points.
Leading Texps to victory was
smooth forward Tom Hamilton,
whose great hook shot accounted
for 20 points against the Owls.
Rieo led 2lMo-24 at the half,
but the Longhorns raHTed to knot
the score at 35 to 35 after six min-
utes of the second period. Rice
again took the lend, only to see
Hamilton swish to a hook-toss
with nine” minutes left to go and
tie the count again at 44-afl.
Bill Huffman put the Steers
ahead with another field goal- and
it was Ml Texas the rest of the
way. t
The victory was Texas’ first in
three starts and gave the Long-,
