Don’t even call this timepiece
a watch. All the parts that
make a watch fast or slow have
been left out of it. Accutron
time is kept by the vibrations
of a tiny tuning fork which di-
vides every second into 360
equal parts. (Your present
watch divides a second into
only 5 parts). It is the only
wrist timepiece guaranteed! for
average monthly accuracy with-
in 60 seconds. Accutron is a
Bulova development. It’s worth
the time to you to look into
Accutron.

The SPC Texans, who ear-
lier in the year lost a double-
header to Lubbock Christian
College, came back last Tues-
day, April 28, to split a double-
header with the Lubbock team.
Lubbock Christian College won
the first game 6-2 but the Te-
xans bounced back to take the
second game 4-1.
In the first game SPC jump-
ed off to an early two run
lead in the third inning when
Ben Creighton walked, was
sacraficed to second by Jim
Burtner, and scored on a single
by Ralph Cox. On the next
pitch Cox stole second and later
scored on Riley Lamm’s single.
With a two run lead the Te-
xans relaxed a little too much
and allowed LCC four runs in
the fourth inning. LCC also add-
ed two runs in the seventh
to take the first game by a
score of 6-2.
Donny Johnston was the loosing
pitcher and Jim Gill received
credit for the win for LCC.
In the second game Mike
Kitten and Phil Stephenson
teamed up to limit the Pioneers
to 5 hits and one run while
t
the Texans got four-runs off
five hits.
The first two Texan runs
came on two walks and two
singles. Burtner walked, Cox
singled, and both scored after
Phillips walked and Mathis
singled.
The Texans added two more
runs in the third inning on a
single by Lamm and a homer by
Ruby Foster.
The only LCC run came in
the fifth on three consecutive
singles.
First-team catchers were
Charles West of San Angelo
and James Edwards of Odessa.
Honorable mention were Larry
Gregory and Ron Nelson ofNew
Mexico and hard hitting Tom
Talbert of Lubbock Christian.
First base was shared by Bob
Snoody of Odessa and Jim Hates
of Lubbock Christian. Dean Red-
ding of San Angelo was honor-
able mention.
The infielders were Gary Guey
of Odessa, Bob Pitts of Amar-
illo, Billy Willis and Sam Pizzo,
both of New Mexico.
Honorable mention nods went
to Ed Connally of Odessa and
Jack Mercer of Odessa in ad-
dition to Cox.
Harland Hinds of Odessa,
Jimmy Harper of Odessa and
Ron Kirkpatrick of New Mexico
Military shared the outfield
berths with Lamm. Sam Gast
of Amarillo and Foster were
honorable mention.
In addition to their select-
ions, the coaches learned San
Angelo, soon to join the four-
year ranks in college competit-
ion, will not be a member of the
league next year.
The coaches drew a double
round robin, 16-team con-
ference schedule for the 1966
campaign.
i

pacity for good academic

bility category.
