Lifeguard's Existence Loaded
ith Females, Kids, Boredom
By Bob Dennard
What Mothers u lifeguard

"Girls ami little kids," say*
Hunter Stead man, on* of the
three lifeguards at the Swim-

THESE TWO TEXANS will participate tonight in Buffalo, N.Y., in
the year's first football game. They are Arthur Perkins, North
Texas, left, and James Saxton, Texas.
guarding gets to lie a pretty dull
job, but when one of those "two.
piece jobs" walks by, it sudden-
ly becomes one of the most ex-
citing jobs a guy can have.
"IT'S A PRETTY good job for
75 cents an hour," says Hunter.
"And then again it gives a guy
a good opportunity to Ret dates."
The guards figure they earn
their pay, however, when the
younger set takes over the pool.
They are kept busy quelling
squabbles among the younger
tlathers and occasionally pulling
out one who tries his first trans-
pool swim.
Fred Slack, pool director, re-
calls a time a few years a .o
when the lifeguards really had a
problem. A husky 13-year-old
disobeyed the lifeguards' warn-
ing about running on the slick
concrete once too often.
As he steamed around the
corner of the pool, looking back
over his shoulder at the guard,
he misstepped and wound up with
his leg caught between the hand
rail and the side of the pool.
After a half hour of tugging
and pulling, he was still trapped.
Finally an acetylene torch was
brought to cut the rail in two.
But as the pipe began to heat
up, the lifeguards and the boy
had to keep the hand rail cool
by splashing water on it until a
section of it was cut away and
the boy freed.
THE YOl'TH limped away
with only a bruised leg, but with
a linn resolution never to diso-
bey the lifeguards again.
Life at the pool this summer
has been so uneventful that the
guards even have time to "classi-
fy" the pool's patrons.
First there are the sun wor-
shipers who never touch the
water, but just lie on one side
and then the other for 30 min-
utes at a time, basking in the
rays of sun to achieve that gold-
en status symbol, the tan.
/
THEN THERE'S always that
hearty crew of muscle men who
try never to leave the high div-
ing board without doing at least
one more flip than the other guy.
Many come to the pool just to
sit in the bleuchers and watch.
Slack describes the pool's cus-
tomers this ways "Some come to
look, some come to swim, some
come to smoke, some come to
tan, some come just to criticise,
but they all have a bang-up
time."

Garrett Tops Flock
In NCAA Matches
The North Texas golf season
came to an end lost week when
Hill Garrett, the 1902 team cap-
tain, was eliminated in the semi-
finals of the NCAA champion-
ship.

Perkins Plays Tonight
Football Anybody? Why Not
While sweltering in the midst of
a typically hot summer, why not
tune in tonight on a football game?
The !S <">2 grid season gets its
usual early start in Buffalo. N.Y.,
at the American Football Coaches
Association All-America game.
The game can be seen in this
area over WBAP-TV Channel 5
at 8:30 p.m.

Holding most of the interest for
Eagle grid fans will be the appear-
ance of Arthur Perkins, three-year
fullback at North Texas and a
rookie-to-be for the I.os Angeles
Ranis of the National Football
League,
Perkins finished his college ca-
reer by finishing third in the Mis-
souri Valley Conference rushing
statistics for 1961.
In the postseason U.S. Bowl
game, he paced all ground gainers
in leading the West to a 33-19 vic-
tory.
Perkins could well be joined on
the West squad by an all-South-
west backfield. Bobby Ply, Baylor,
will be bandy to throw passes and
James Saxton, Texas, anil Lance
Alworth, Arkansas, are expected
to supplement Perkins' power with
their speed from the halfback
spots.
Sandy Stevens, Minnesota, will
alternate with Ply at quarterback.
The East line-up will include
Ail-American backs Bob Fergu-
son, Ohio State, and Ernie Davis,
Syracuse. The East is also blessed
with an array of fine ends in Greg
Mather, Navy; Bill Miller, Miami;
and Bill Collins, Maryland.
Sandy Ends Round
Like Other Palmer
Sandra Palmer imitated the
Masters' winner with the same
last name in staging back-nine
comebacks against two oppon-
ents before losing to defending
champion Judy Hoetmer in the
18th Women's Collegiate Golf
Tournament June 20-23.
Four days before the match in
Albuquerque, Miss Palmer won
the West Texas Women's golf
tournament for the third straight
year by overwhelming Mrs. C. I).
Elwell of Midland 8 and 7 in the
36-hole finals at Abilene. She
was I under par for the day and
shot subpar golf during the en-
tire tourney. Her closest match
was 4 and 3.
MISS HOETMER. a slender,
bespectacled University of
Wellington student, halted
another rally by Miss Palmer to
capture the semifinal match in
Albuquerque 2 and 1. She won
the first three holes and was
four-up at the end of nine.
Miss Palmer's charge narrowed
the margin to two down with
four to go but the pressure
didn't affect the steady play of
the Seattle golfer.
THE NORTH TEXAS senior
front Fort Worth upset the No.
2 qualifier, Sue Meerdink of Ari-
zona State University, l up in
her first-round match.
Miss Palmer trailed Helen
Weiland of tiny Rosemont Col-
lege by three holes after nine in
the quarterfinals, but won the
10th with a birdie and tied the
contest with pars on 14 and 15.
The match remained even until
the first extra hole, when Miss
Palmer dropped a 15-footer for
a par five and a victory.
Eagles had finished fourth in the
team struggle.
Four North Texas golfers
qualified for the individual com-
petition but dropped out one by
one.
FRANK LI KE was the first
to go, dropping his second
round match to Tom Shaw of
Oregon 1 Jp on thffl 20th hole.
Bobby Greenwood, who had
defeated his old nemesis, Dick
Canon, in the second round, was
toppled by Homero Hlancas of
Houston in the third round.
Bianeas later made his way to
the finals.
in the quarterfinuls, Garrett
won out over his Eagle team-
mate, Don Wilson. Both had cap-
tured their first three matches.
Bl'T Jl'ST TWO steps away
from the title, Garrett ran into
the eventual winner, Kermit Zar-
ley, another member of the Hous-
ton squad which carried off the
team honors.
Zarley hit his approach shot
from the rough on the last hole
to within three feet of the cup
for a birdie and a 1 up victory
over the last Eagle in the field
of 64 who had begun play.
The next day Zarley defeated
teammate Bianeas for the trophy.
It was the fifth time in six
years that a Cougar had won the
match play title.

Summer Golf
The Golf Sweepstakes have been
postponed indefinitely this summer
because of the poor condition of
the Golf Course greens and tee
boxes. But as soon as they are
playable, the weekly contests will
be resumed.
Work is now under way to im-
prove the tee boxes and to top-
dress the greens, according to Dr.
Wayne Adams, assistant to the
president
Hard freezes this spring killed
the grass, but workers arc putting
sand and fertilzer onto the greens
to help bring the grass back to its
original luster. Work is also being
done to improve the lack of Vurf
around the tee boxes.
Coach Herb Ferrill believes that
a fungus growth is causing the
problem with the greens. He hopes
that by next golf season the course
will be in a suitable condition for
the Ragles' home matches.

Dreamily Downshifting
It is no secret that we are very impressionable. The in-
stant we see Arnold Palmer sink a long curling putt, we im-
mediately rush out and start beating up on the local snakes
with our four iron.
Or when we see Paul Hornung shredding through the
Los Angeles Rams, we get the strong urge to line up at left
half, even though we are about as minute in stature as the
average jockey.
But perhaps the strongest desire to come over our weak frame
lately is the craving: to Ket into one of those racing ears and go fleeing
about the streets of Monaco or Juares or some other exotic spot in a
Grand Prix type sport car race.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD kills stay inside when a ear race is
lieumed over the network. For us soon as it is over, we are more tlmn
apt to l>e seen broadaiiding around the corners and shifting adroitly
from low to reverse with a mere (lick of the wrist.
This fond dream was given a boost of adrenalin a few weekends
hack when Phil Hill was interviewed at length hy Jim McKay on one
of those super sports shows which appear on Sunday afternoons.
Hill is the world's champion at this sports car racing thing and
seems to be most huppy in his profession.
The interview spiced up a film showing the 1902 Grand Prix of
Monaco. Low-slung racing cars go tearing through the narrow streets
of the tnwn, whisk by the world-famed casino anil shoot through a
tunnel that runs hard by the Mediterranean itself.
HILL FEELS THAT anyone with a fairly decent amount of co-
ordination can turn himself into a race driver. Then are probably
milkmen who could drive racing cars and they don't even know it,
says Hill.
The fact that he failed to mention journalism majors doesn't
deter us in the slightest.
It is well known that people die taking part in the sport, but
Hill passes this off with a shrug of his shoulders.
WE ARE CONFIDENT that it takes gasoline to make one go,
and that is our entire working knowledge of an automobile. But see-
ing Hill demonstrate the shifting of the many gears inside of the
speedsters makes us quiver with delight. It revolts us to think that
our auto has but four.
But the thing that gets you, that makes your heart palpitate like
a full skirt on a windy day, is seeing the cars in an actual race. They
creep around the hairpin turns as slow as !10 and then accelerate to
well over 100 in the straights.
We can easily see ourselves as the toast of Europe, dining with
Princess Grace and consorting at the beach with Brigette.
And now to see if we can't do something about this wretched
speeding ticket.
