this is mv best year."

LaLumia Scores 61 Points
SDX
By ALAN ROBERTSON
Daily Reporter
Talk about magical mystery tours. Tony
LaLumia took the SDX Mob Squad on the
trip of their lives Thursday night in intra-
mural basketball action.
LaLumia made 61 points as he led the
Space Cowboys No. 2.to a 133-18 smashing
of the Squad.
THE VICTORY ran the Cowboys' re-
cord to 2-1 and Lal.umia's average to 35.3
points per game. The P.E. Club, however,
continued to lead the race with a 4-0 re-
cord, following a forfeit win over Faculty
II Tuesday night.
LEAGUE STANDINGS
FRATERNITY LEAGUE A
Tau Kappa Epsilon remained the leader
in Fraternity League A with a 3-0 record.
The TKEs squeaked past Sigma Nu in its
last outing by a 38-36 count. Kappa Sigma
was more impressive as it romped past win-
less Pi Kappa Alpha 72-17.
Sigma Phi Epsilon and Omega Psi Phi
share the lead in Fraternity League B.
Both teams are undefeated in three con-
tests.
SIGMA PHI Epsilon ran past Delta
Sigma Phi 68-42 in its last contest, and
Omega Psi Phi kept pace with a 47-27
thrashing of Pi Kappa Phi. The loss was
Pi Kappa Phi's first, and they share third
place with Kappa Alpha with 2-1 records.
Two high-scoring and good defensive
teams ride high in Independent League A.
The Air Force ROTC and the 125th Street
Gang both own 3-0 records. The Cadets
have poured in 211 points while allowing
only 78, and the Gang has scored 199
while allowing 95.
Independent League C is scrambled.
Four teams are still undefeated with two
wins apiece. The Aardvarks, Syndicate,
Boomer Sooners and Delta Sigma Pi share
the top spot.
The P.E. Club is the only team thus far
to pull ahead in its respective league. The
Club stands alone at 3-0, while four teams
trail with 2-1 records.

The question of Paige's feelings in res-
ponse to his designation as the first black
player to be honored in this manner
criticized by some for separating blacks
and whites virtually dwarfed the proceed-
ings presided over by Commissioner Kuhn.
But, despite persistent prodding by media
representatives, Paige never once uttered
a word criticizing his selection by the meth-
od announced only last week. And Kuhn
underscored the fact that Paige will be fully
accepted as a Hall of Famer.

Head football Coach Rod Rust has a
simple philosophy about playing on arti-
ficial turfs.
"Don't worry about it," the Mean Green
coach said.
"It's overrated as a factor," Rust add-
ed.
"YOU HEAR about all these coaches
having their players go through extra work-
outs and all kinds of preparation for play-
ing on the artificial turf," he said.
The Eagles will be playing on Texas
Stadium's Tartan Turf during the 1971
football season. After playing on grass at
l outs Field, the North Texas coach does
not anticipate any problems with his team
adjusting to artificial turf.
"In fact," the 42-year-old mentor said,
"I'm looking forward to playing at Texas
Stadium.
"FOOTBALL players," he said "have
been used to playing on all kinds of regular
fields before. I mean, they play on muddy
fields, bare ground, fro/en fields, slippery
fields and what have you. So why worry
about playing on artificial turf.' The foot-
ing on artificial turf is bound to fall within
the realm of experience a football player
has had on a regular field."
Rust said that playing on synthetic turf
produces a better performance for most
athletes. "To top that off," he said, "you
don't have to worry about the mud, nor the
rain nor a slippery field."

The coach said that he does not care what
type of turf his team plays on.
"1 feel that it's pretty hard for anyone to
tell anything about artificial turf right now ."
Rust said, "1 feel it's too early (in the pro-
duction of artificial turf) to really decide
which is the best, and whether it's better
than a regular grass field."
RUST SAID some problems have occur-
red with Tartan Turf because the playing
fields have been turning black and hard
because of exposure to the sun. "Hut we
won't have to worry about that at Texas
Stadium," he added.
The Irving stadium will be covered when
not in use.
Will playing on artificial turf lessen team
injuries'?
Rust said he can't make a clear evaluation
yet of injuries to players participating on
artificial turf. "Some say the turf is safer,
others say that it's not. It's really hard to
tell," he said.
"IT DOES cause a lot of abrasions and
burns. Hut we can avoid these by padding
the areas that are more susceptible to this
kind of injury," the coach said. Rust was
referring to padding elbows and shin bones.
Rust said it will be another five or 10
years before a proper evaluation can be
made about injuries suffered on artificial
surfaces.

Coach Sees
High Score
In Gill Game
By GARY MORTON
Daily Reporter
How valuable is experience to a football
team?
The answer might be seen after tomor-
row's Richard Gill Memorial football game
between the Ex-Marines and the Inter-
fraternity Council, in which the Ex-Mar-
ines seem to hold an edge in experience.
Assistant coach Wilmer Levels of the
Ex-Marines said all of his players have
gridiron experience at the college level.
"ALL OF them have played either fresh-
man or junior college football," Levels
said. "Some of them tried out for the var-
sity last fall but did not make the team."
The game, which kicks off at 3 p.m. at
Fouls Field, should be a high-scoring af-
fair, the Ex-Marine coaches said.
"It should be a good game," head coach
Jimmy Franklin said. "We have a balan-
ced attack and expect to score."
However, Franklin expects the Greeks to
do some scoring themselves. He issued a
warning to the Greek offense "Defense
is the best part of our game."
LEVELS AGREED with Franklin that
the game should be an offensive battle.
"If the Cireeks can score as much as
we can," Levels said, "it will be a high-
scoring game. Really, it should not even
be close."
The only problem facing the two teams
has been the lack of time in which to ^re-
pare for the contest. Both camps could be
hurt by injuries because of the lack of con-
ditioning. Already injuries have been re-
ported in pre-game drills for each club.
The Ex-Marine coaches are all members
of the 1970 Eagle football team. To them,
the purpose of the game is just as impor-
tant as the eventual winner.
"RICHARD GILL was my best friend,"
Franklin said. "I hope I can win this game
for him, and we can raise a lot of money
for his family."
