gave me lots of confidence.” said
Bowden who set his own pace to
speed the mile in 3:58.7 last night
during the Pacific Assn. AAU
track and' field meet here.
Bowden is only 20, young for a
miler and actually had run only
four open miles prior to last
night's performance that shat-
tered Wes Santee's American citi-
zen's record of 4:00.5. It was only
.7 off the world record.
Although Don's best official time
for an open mile previously was
only 4:08.2 last year, his thrilling
performance didn't appear a great
surprise to him or his coach, Bru-
tus Hamilton.
“We figured this was my last
chance this season to run a fast
mile and I was in physical con-
dition to go," said Don after post-
ing a time that only two men
have bettered.
Coach Hamilton, who led the
U.S. Olympic forces in 1952 and
coached the great miler, Glenn
Cunningham, at Kansas in the
‘30s declared, “In all my track
years, I have never been provided
a greater thrill. But he worked
to his favorite half mile for the
rest of this season.
“I planned to run a four min-
ute pace as long as I could," the
pre-law student, who weighs just
and his fellow countryman, Jim
Bailey, a student at the Univer-
sity of Oregon, with 3:58.6, best
on American soil, have posted
better times.

COLLEGE STATION, June 2 (
—Texas A&M is back in the good
graces of the Southwest Confer-
ence and NCAA, off probation and
looking toward competition in
bowl games and national cham-
pionships in other, sports.
The Aggies were removed from
the probation list yesterday by the
NCAA council meeting at Chicago.
For two years the troublesome
probation has kept A&M out of
bowl games. The Aggies could
have gone to one in 1955 although
not winning the Southwest Confer-
ence football championship, but
had to pass it up because they
were on conference probation at
the time due to violations of the
recruiting rules. The Gator Bowl
made passes at the Aggies that
year.
Last season they won the con-
ference title but couldn't play in
the Cotton Bowl although the
Southwest Conference had re-
bade A&M playing in a bowl ence in the distribution above
$61,000, which the participating
game.
The horrid thought probably is
racing through the minds of Aggie
followers today: how ironical it
would be if A&M failed to win the
title next fall when it finally was
eligible for the Cotton Bowl!
President D. W. Williams of
A&M sounded something of the
same thought in commenting on
the removal of probation. Asked if
he thought the ruling would mean
the Aggies would play in the Cot-
ton Bowl next Jan. 1, Dr. Wil-
liams said: “All we've got to do
is win the conference But that's
a big assignment, isn't it?”
A&M lost about $125,000 by not
being able to play in bowl games
the past two years. They would
have gotten about $62,000 from the
Gator Bowl and $75,000 from the
Cotton Bowl. However, they did
get about $12,000 from the Cotton
Bowl last Jan. 1 because they
shared in the money that went to
team gets.
What are the Aggie prospects in
football next fall?
Chances are A&M will be the
favorite for the conference title
because there will be 18 lettermen
back from the 1956 champions, in-
cluding three-fourths of the back-
field — quarterback Roddy Os-
borne and halfbacks Loyd Taylor
and John Crow
Coach Paul Bryant has com-
plained that he has a glaring
weakness "down the middle” and
that spring training failed to ease
the problem. Further complica-
ing the situation was the loss of
Murry Trimble, who was slated to
be a regular guard, because of
scholastic difficulties.
Bank your grain in a Butler bin and rest as-
sured it will come out as clean, dry and bright

Body sheets are longer, have fewer seams

Special tight-scaling door latches and easy-
