Auburn's Bobby Hunt Impresses Texans
It will be a defensive role Auburn’s Bobby Hunt will be
filling when he debuts as a professional football player in
Atlanta, Saturday, August 4.
And it won’t be any second string job either. The Lanett,
Alabama native’s boss, Coach Hank Stram of the Dallas
Texans is considering Hunt as his regular defensive safety.
Hunt was a teammate of Newton County’s Larry Laster at
Auburn last fall.
“Bobby has been a sure fire hit on defense,” says Stram.
“He’s a deadly tackler and handles himself well on passes.
“If he continues showing like he is now, Bobby will see
plenty of action against Oakland in Atlanta,” added Stram.
For the past three years, Hunt handled the quarterback
duties for Shug Jordan at Auburn. However, chances are
Bobby will see little, if any, action on offense.
The Texans, who meet Oakland at newly constructed
America Field in Atlanta, wil field a host of talented quarter
backs led by veterans Cotton Davidson and Len Dawson.
Also vying for playing time will be rookies Bobby Ply of
Baylor and Eddie Wilson of Arizona.
"Right now,” said Stram, “Bobby will serve us best as
a defensive safety. We know he can play defense from his
college record and he's showing us plenty in practice right
now.”
Hunt, a 6-L 180 pounder, was drafted 11th by the Texans
and was signed in a duel with the rival Dallas Cowboys.
Last year there were 15.000 accidents on golf courses.
But it beats staying around the house, falling off ladders,
and sticking your finger in the power mower . . . Why is
it when you attend a baseball game you are always seated ■
next to a cigaf smoker of a beer drinker? . . . Monroe Girls
Corps, one of the crack precision-drilling aggregations, will
perform at halftime Saturday night at America Field when
the Dallas-Oakland pro game is played. Also appearing at
the game will be the Southeastern Dixie twirling champion,
Buddy Clark . . .

Two Top Bowling Industries
Accused in a Trust Suit
The Justice department ac
cused the bowling industry
Monday of violating the anti
trust laws through a conspir
acy to prevent the construction
of new alleys in “overbuilt”
areas.
A suit filed in federal court
here named the Bowling Pro
prietors’ Association of Ameri
ca, whose members control 91
per cent of the lanes in the na
tion, and three companies that
manufacture and sell nearly
all the automatic pinspotters
used in the sport.
The companies are Ameri
can Machine and Foundry Co.
and it* subsidiary, American
Machine and Foundry Pinspot
ters, both of New York, and the
Brunswick Corp, of Chicago.
The Sherman Act suit ac
cused the National Trade As
sociation and 198 affiliated
state, city and district associa
tions of creating “overbuilding
committees.” The committees,
the government said, made sur
veys and prepared maps show
ing population in areas and the
THIS AND THAT!
Vice-President Lyndon Johnson says he is a Washington
Senator baseball fan. Says he even prays for the team at
night and that he “hopes the Supreme Court won’t declare
that unconstitutional.’’ . . . The Milwaukee Braves, once
the hotbed of baseball in their home park, now has the
stadium about half-filled for their games. We rather be
lieve the demise is on account of shabby front office manage
ment and failure to secure a top-rate manager on the field.

NUMBER SI
location of existing and pre
posed bowling alleys.
The Just ice department
charged that on the basis of
the surveys the associations de
signated certain areas as “criti
cal” or “overbuilt.”
Listing of such areas were
sent to the manufacturers, who
allegedly limited sales and
leases of pin-setting equip
ment in order “to prevent the
construction of bowling esta
blishments or the expansion of
lane capacity” in the saturated
areas.
The complaint accused the
manufacturers of misusing
their pinsetter patents in order
to restrict competition in the
sales of unpatented bowling
equipment.
“During 1959,” the complaint
asserted, “AMF Pinspotters and
Brunswick each turned down
approximately $35 million
worth of orders for pinsetters
and other bowling equipment
from prospective customers lo
cated throughout the United
States."
