The records may show that
New Mexico Military Institute
won both games last Saturday,
April 3, but as far as seven-
teen Texan baseballers are con-
cerned, they split the double-
header.
The situation was this: NMMI
won the first game 10-5, and
was ahead of the Texans 2-1
going into the top of the seven-
th inning of the second game.
But with two outs the Texans
rallied for 3 runs on 3 hits
to surge ahead 4-2.
By now it was becoming dark-
er with every pitch, and time
was the important factor.
The rule book states that:
“if the game is called when
the teams have not had an equal
number of completed terms at
at bat, the score shall be the
same as it was at the end of
the last completed inning.”
With this in mind the Texans
were trying desperately to
speed up the game and retire
three NMMI batters, thus com-
pleting another inning. But the
setting sun was a little faster
and the umpires called the game
before the inning was complete.
Thus NMMI received credit for
the win by a 2-1 margin.
In thefirstgameNMMIparad-
ed 10 runs across the plate on
12 hits. The Texans managed
only 5 runs on 7 hits off start-
ing pitcher Tracy Laub.
The Texans’ runs came in
the first, third, and seventh
delegates that attended prove
that the trip was well worth
the effort and that many of them
gained an abundance of informa-
tion concerning political con-
ventions. They value the exper-
ience and participation in the
activities.
Members of the Young Demo-
crats were greatly inspired by
the convention and were so in-
spired to plan ahead for next
year’s convention which they
hope to attend.
SPC Young Democrats re-
turned with the idea of spon-
soring a mock political con-
vention during Fiesta Week for
the benefit of all students. Plans
are currently underway for the
development of this idea.
Members in attendance were:
Curtis Dickson, Charles Ket-
chum, Jerry Airhart, Lewis
Settle, Charles Palmer, Carol
Martin, Jean Maples, Patsy
Roberts, Kay Woodson, Lynn
Fitzgerald, and Don Robertson.
Mr. Waltrip accompanied the
group to Austin as its sponsor.

port. Back them all the way.
Club, Reese Air Base, Texas
Tech, and “The Whoopenanny.”
Annice placed in the top five
in last year’s Jaycee contest
and was chosen Miss Con-
geniality of 1964.
Eleven students from South
Plains College attended the
Texas State Young Democrats
Convention in Austin, Mar.
19-21.
The convention was held in
the Driskill Hotel in Austin.
Delegations from counties, high
schools, junior and senior
colleges, numbering more than
1,000, were in attendance.
During the convention, two
factions were vying for power,
according to Curtis Dickson.
They were the Conservatives
and the Liberals. Each put up a
candidate for president of the
state club. SPC delegation nom-
inated Rep. Jesse T. George
as a favorite son candidate for
the office. His nomination was
followed by a standing ovation.
Mr. George withdrew from
the race for president and asked
the SPC delegation to pledge
their votes to Bob Slagle,
another candidate seeking that
office.
Speakers for the convention
included Rep. Gonzales of San
Antonio; Rep. Jed Johnson of
Oklahoma, the youngest Rep-
resentative in the U. S.
Congress; and Rep McGovern
from Georgia.

all this was for a loss as it
did not count as it was not a
complete inning.

for SPC and Jimmy Osborn was
the winner.
