Finally completely eliminated
from the River Oaks Tennis
Tournament, Sammy Giammal-
va's Owls turned their rath on
SWC foes Thursday and Satur-
day and came out of the three
day slam fest in undisputed pos-
session of first place in the con-
ference tennis race.
Marcus Winning
In the fourth round of the
Oaks competition, freshman Neal
Marcus continued his winning
ways with a very convincing 6-0,
6-2 victory over Armando Feria
of Lamar Tech. Meanwhile, team-
mate Ronnie Fisher was having
his troubles as he went down to
defeat at the hands of eventual
semi-finalist Jaroslav Drobny 6-4,
6-3. In the fourth round of
doubles competition Paul Como
and Doug Bashrum were elimi-<
nated in a 6-1, 6-1 loss. Marcus
finally saw his charmed spell
broken in the quarter finals when
he w&s defeated by Tulane's Ron
Holmberg 6-0, 6-8, 6-3.
5-1 Victory
In Thursday's match with SMU
the Owls were extended to three
sets in all but one match. How-
ever the Owls still came out on
top with a 5-1 victory. Ronnie
Fisher downed Bill Dixon 6-2, 3-6,
6-2. Art Foust, playing with^an
injured arm, went down to defeat
8-6, 3-6, 6-4 at the hands of
Willie Wolff. Paul Como won
over Bill Wright 6-1, 3-6, 6-2.
Doygh Bashrum defeated Bill In-
gram 3-6, 6-4, 6-2. In the doubles
competition the Owls won both
matches with Fisher-Foust win-
ning over Dixon-Wright 7-5, 6-4
and Como-Bashrum downing In-
gram-Wolff 1-6, 6-2, 6-3.
Routed Texas
In Saturday's show down match
with Texas for the top spot in the
conference standings, the Owls
really flexed their muscles as
they literally routed the fine Tex-
as team in a 6-0 victory. In
marching to the 6-0 victory, the
Owls lost only one set and were
extended beyond the normal six
games winning quota only three
times. The results were as fol-
lows: Ronnie Fisher defeated
Richard Keeton 7-5, 6-3; Art Foust
downed Warren Zimmerman 6-0,
6-0; Paul Como won from Neil
Drury 6-0, 6-3; Doug Bashrum
won a 6-1, 8-6 victory from Stan-
ley Ament; Fisher and Foust de-
feated Keeton and Drury 10-8,
3-6, 6-3; and Como and Bashrum
downed Zimmerman and Ament
6-3, 6-3.
The next conference action for
coach Giammalva's squad will be
Saturday against TCU here in
Houston. Tuesday the Owls take
on A&M at College Station.

More buxom blondes with
shipwrecked sailors insist
on Camels than any other
cigarette today. It stands
to reason: the best tobacco
makes the best smoke. The
Camel blend of costly to-
baccos has never been:
equalled for rich flavor and
easygoing mildness. No
wonder Camel is the No. 1
cigarette of all!
Leave the fads and
fancy stuff to landlubbers.••
Have a real
cigarette-
have a CAMEL
How can I be sure
you've got some Camels ?

Western Electric's job
It is Western Electric's jobln the Bell System to produce some 65,00©
different parts which are assembled into a vast variety of telephorae-
apparatus and equipment. This job, coupled with our other responsi-
bilities, requires the help of engineers in every field.
Their skills and talents are needed to develop new manufacturing
techniques, solve quality control problems, devise testing facilities aswl
methods. They work on new applications for metals and alloys, calcu-
late raw material needs, seek manufacturing cost reductions.
In helping meet the Bell System's need for more and better telephone
equipment, Western Electric engineers have assignments in the other
areas of our job — installation, distribution and purchasing.
Our engineers are also involved in defense projects entrusted to us bf*
the government. Because of our specialized Bell System experience, we
are well equipped to handle projects like the Nike guided missile system
and the White Alice communications network in Alaska.
Of course, W.E. engineers are encouraged and assisted in developing
professionally... in expanding their technical know-how. Company -
sponsored programs — like the full-time Graduate Engineering Training;
Program and the Tuition Refund Plan — help them along.
Promotion from within —a Western Electric policy— helps our engi-
neers move into positions of prime responsibility. Today, 55% of tbs
college graduates in our upper levels of management have engineering
degrees. In the next ten years, 7,000 key
jobs must be filled by newly promoted?
people — engineers included.
Western Electric technical fields include?
mechanical, electrical, chemical and civiS
engineering, plus the physical sciences-
