Friday Afternoon, March 8, 1946 The Battalion Page 3 Aggie Cindermen Leave for Laredo Meet Coach Anderson Hopes for Good Fishing Weather at Border Meet By Marion Pugh Battalion Sports Editor When Col. Frank Anderson was questioned about his Aggie track team, and about the possibilities of a few first places at the Border Olympics being held at Laredo today and tomorrow, he answered a little like the fisherman. “If the water is right,” said Colonel Andy, “the bait good, the fish hun gry, and I’m lucky—could catch one.” Nevertheless, the Aggies are moving down on the border ready for anything. In time trials the other day, the' thinly clads didn’t look bad, and yet there was no call for the fire department to sim mer down the cinders. Two Laredo lads showing their wares during the trials were Bill Swisher and Alexander Ortiez. Swisher is a comer, according to Coach Anderson, and is pegged for action in the 440-yard relay and possibly in the 100-yard dash. Or tiez is the more durable of the two and runs in the 440-yard dash and also on the mile relay. Assist ant Coach Ray Putman says that this lad has shown wonderful im provement and has hopes that he will develop more this year. Also looking good was the All- Conference halfback last year, Bob Goode, who blossomed out as a broad jumper. He has been in ac tion as a hurdler, but showed good form in the broad jump event. Layton Lomax showed up well in the 880-yard run, and will be the Cadet entry in that event. Johnny Zeigler, former distance champion of the conference, and Stone Webster, cross country let- terman, will run the mile for A. & M.
