Russell inks golf
pact with U. of H.
By DENIS MCCARTHY
FREEPORT - With his final
shot as a Brazo sport High
golfer In the beg, Arthur Rus-
sell Saturday night became the
future property of the Univer-
sity of Houston.
In a history-making cere-
mony, Cougar Coach Dave
Williams came to the home of
Russell's parents, Mr.and
Mrs. L. V. Russell, to get
Arthur's signature on a scho-
larship application to the
Houston school.
It was the first time In his
long years of coaching at what
is regarded by all as the top
competitive golfing university
In the United States that Wil-
liams gave a full four year
icholarshlp to a golfer.
"I feel so certain that Arthur
Is going to develop into one of
the nation's top college and
amateur golfers, that I have no
hesitation In granting him a
full four year scholarship,"
Williams said.
"This is the first time that
1 have also personally tra-
veled to the home of a high
school golfer to sign him. I
am very happy to have Arthur
declare his intentions to at-
tend the University of Hous-
ton," the beaming mentor de-
clared.
Russell had returned mo-
ments before the signing from
a two day trip to Austin where
he competed In the state
championship. This was his
last competition as a high
school golfer, thus making him
eligible to sign a college pact.
A number of schools had
been Interested In inking the
Junior star, but he said he
chose Houston since It was the
school where he thought he
could get "the best competi-
tion."
Russell, medalist in the
Border Olympics In Laredo
this year, holds a number of
amateur titles Including Dis-
trict 12-4A medalist, Region-
al Medalist, PGA Junior
Tltlest, among many others.
For Williams, the signing
marked the end to a long wait
