AND. SOME MORE:
Made for nice public, and
press, relations when Mr.
Originality, Houston Cog
Football Coach Bill Yeoman,
saw that Bo Burris and
Charles Guerrant starred in
their hometowns, Brazosport
and Galveston. . . Yeoman,
one of Homer Norton’s Aggie
footballers, is transporting
his HU team around the coun-
tryside, bringing collegefoot-
ball to the customers. . .Sort
of a "We the People" approach
to public relations. . . Yale
Lary, the great Aggie halfback
who became Detroit's All-
pro defensive back and punter,
is a new partner in a Fort
Worth area Ford dealership
. . . The versatile Lary. a
well-known moonlighter in the
state legislature, should feel
no strain in adding another
business. . . Blackie Sher-
rod writes, "A gentleman re-
members her birthday but for-
gets her age.". . . If it has
nor been your lot to watch
Randy Matson shove the 16-
pound iron shot, you should
mark the Aggie track sched-
ule. . Athletes like this
youngster do not sprout year- ;
ly. He's the Tommy Nobis of I
the track set. No telling how !
tar he is going to throw that
undersized bowling ball.
Don't look now, but some of
the snooty New York writers
are irked because a Texan
is running the mighty Yankees
It’s all right for Lyndon
julaiaon co be President. But
let one of those Texas clods
run the Yankees? Never!.

Apparently the Houston area
press feels there is nothing
amiss when some alleged ed-
ucational leaders make loud,
definite statements out of both
corners of the mouth.
At least there is no clamor
to have University of Houston
Basketball Coach Guy Lewis
explain a statement, attrib-
uted to him, which sounds as
natural to HU as George Wal-
lace entertaining Martin Lu-
ther You Know Who.
One of Houston’s three
sports editors quoted Lewis
that great schoolboy basket-
ball players should choose in-
dependent schools Those not
aligned with a conference af-
ford a talented voung basket-
ball player far greater oppor-
tunity, Lewis was quoted.
Then, according to our
scribbling cohort, the coach
of TSU's neighbor, had the
audacity to explay W H Y an
independent school wa infi-
house athletes. Something a-
bout better chance to play in
post season tournaments.
Is your memory so short
you could foiget that less than
one year ago, Houston Univer-
sity President Philip G. Hoff-
man called that massive press
conference? He bluntly attack-
ed the Southwest Conference
for NOT accepting the big
city school as a member.
Cheerleader Hoffman
blithely warned his school
would eventually be accepted
as a SWC member. He let it
be known the tig loop's lead-
ers might as well save breath,
time and money, because the
Cougars were coming into the
lodge, like it or not.
He told 'em all tfu pres-
sures and methods, known to
such endeavors, would be em-
ployed. Political, economic,
journalistic pressures can be
ugly. But they were used.
Houston sports pages be-
came electric. Writers tore
into the Southwest Conference
with relish. Slanted stories,
purportedly proving Univer-
sity of Houston was equal, or
superior, to all SWC athletic
members, bloomed.
University of Houston did
not merely ask to be accepted.
Its officials howled that the
SWC was denying the rights
of the school, its students and
alumni by excluding the Red.
Court action was intimated by
some.
You remember.
It does make you curious.
If Cog Coach Lewis was cor-
rectly quoted, he must not
have checked with the head
Nugget. Perhaps the school
has varying policy, You know
--what best fits the situation.
There is no honorable meth-
od of demanding membership
in a conference, while telling
the world -- prospective re-
cruits iitcludcd -- tlut an in-
dependent school offers bet-
ter personal opportunity for
its athletes.

When Texas signed Chris
Gilbert, Spi ing Branch's great
running back, Hayden Fry was
heard to say, "That doesn't
seem fair." . . . Baylor’s
great basketball guard, Ed
Horne, had the folks back
home in Georgia wondering
why he did not seek a degree
closer to home . AbeMar-
tin, TCU's corn pone football
master, believes La Marque’s
Norman Bulaich will be the
Forgs’ best b'll-carrier since
Jim Swink rambled to All-
America fame , . It will not
be the same when Los Angeles
comes to the Dome to play
rhe Houston Astros. Frank
Howard, that 6-7 lad with the
Paul Bunyan swing, is now
a Washington Senator. Ever
since he bombed Texas League
pitchers at Victoria in 1959,
it has been a thrill to watch
big Frank take a cut at the
baseball. He was more color-
ful striking out than Houston’s
best hitters . , In his first
spring training game as a
Senator--against rhe Yankees
--Howard slammed a double
against the right-field fence.
Los Angeles writers are
fond of nicknaming their he-
roes. They pinned ' Daddy
Wags" on Cleveland Slugger
Leon Wagner when he hit ho-
mers for the LA Angels . . .
Now one of those Cinema
Sports Writers is calling him,

Mickey Mantle, the opening
of an underground war to get
the little Houstonian fired.
Really, some of the provin-
cial Eastern writers don't like
Lyndon being President but
they know he is more power-
ful' So, other cactus, oil, cat-
tle and chemical country ex-
ports are in for a worse hid-
ing than ever!!! One national
magazine did poke fun at John -
son, saying, "... few East-
erners go for Lyndon John-
son’s social bussing and bear-
hug abrazos." Well, we aren’t
sufficiently effete to know what
an abrazo is but if they mean
kissing when printing "buss-
ing," we have another Texas
opinion for them.
Nowhere, except maybe
California, do celebrities do
more social kissing than in
the East. You are not in the
swim unless female celebs
come into a public gathering
and plant a kiss on the side
of your male map. . . Now,
thia even SpUlS over to sports
in the East. Just watch stories
written from snobland and note
the way writers get chummy
with big name sports figures
. . They will call Houston
third baseman Bob Aspro -
monte, "Bobby. . . Nobody,
not even his family, ever felt
like calling rough-hewn Ed
Price, ’’Eddie" when he
coached at Texas. But, that’s
exactly what an Eastern sports
writer dubbed him.
If you are a native Eastern-
er, it is correct to he infor-
mal. If you are from Texas,
follow their orders. Johnny
Keane, like Alvin Dark, may
have a civil war to fight.

Howard, the Yankee strong-
man catcher and outfielder
hit 100 homes in his first
eight major league seasons,
but has powered 43 out of the
field in the last two years.
Poweii, one of the Ameri-
can League’s rising power-
men. hit 15 homers in his first
full major league season in
1962, then hit 25 in ’63 and
la'-t season hit 39 although
he missed nearly a month of
the season due to Injuries.
Stuart has clobbered 192
homers in his seven major
in the last two seasons. Stuart
also was noted at both Pitts-
burgh and Boston for his soar-
ing infield popups.
In all. this visiting quintet
has hit 1,121 home runs In
the majors, and are certain
to be trying for the long ones
in the Astrodome.
Houston fans will remember
some of Bond’s gigantic pokes
last year among his 20 home
runs, and some of his near-
misses which were hit almost
equally as hard.
At present, the effect that
the enclosed stadium will have
on the flight of the ball is
still in question. The lowest
point over the playing area
is about 185 feet which sta-
dium officials generally be-
lieve is unreachable under
normal playing conditions.

Alvir won over La Porte in
the opening round of play 1-0
on a sacrifice fly to center
field by Don Brown that scored
Dun Mcthvln. Methvin got on
with single which proved to
be Alvin's only hit of the game.
Nolan Ryan shut out the Bull-
dog giving up two hits and
striking out six. La Porte
loaded the bases in the sixth
Inning but Eddie Allen cur
off a possible tying run at the
plate with a fine throw from
left field to make the lone Al-
vin tally stand up.
Alvin won it way into the
semis with a 9-2 win over
Clear Creek in the second
round of play. The win put
the 'Jacket won-loss record
at 12-3 and earned them their
second trophy of the season.
The big inning for the
'Jackets came in the second
frame when they scored four

on ice. The local club also
scored two runs in each of the
third and fourth Innings to
run up their total for the game.
