We predict he will do that very thing. The amazing thing about Willie being in this event is that until last week he hadn’t thrown or even discuss for about seen a seven years. It just so happened that he dropped down to Kyle Field to give hi« football weary legs a little workout. While jogging around the field he happened to spy the discuss lying idle on the ground. Zapalac picked it up and, standing flatfooted, tossed the ras cal about 115 feet. This isn’t far, but in the Southwestern Exposi tion meet in Fort Worth last week 128 feet won the meet.

L. Downs, Jr., Natatorium on the campus and teams from Texas University and Southern Methodist University compete for the 1946 crown. Coach Art Adamson says he ex pects a close meet and also a big crowd on hand to see the blue rib bon event of the swimming season. Admission is free but he advises fans to come out early as the seat ing capacity is limited. Officials will include Head Coach Homer Norton, Jimmy Stewart, executive secretary of the Southwest Confer ence, and P. L. Downs, Jr., the man for whom the pool is named and who now is business manager of athletics. So far this season the Aggies have lost to Texas twice in dual meets but defeated the Mustangs in a like meet here last Saturday. At Dallas they competed against entries from both schools in the A.A.U. meet and that has given the Aggie coach a fairly good line on the prospective outcome. After much figuring, all Adam son can say is that Texas will win even when he does his most wishful thinking and then looks at past records. “It should be a very close yestism sauie b.Clark Wac Reporters Accompany Luke Flyers in C-47 Traveling in a C-47 transport, the Luke Field baseball team ar rived in Aggieland yesterday at about 4 o’clock.

The unbelievable has happened. There has finally been found a coach who predicts that his team will win. Yes, the Texas Aggie track coach, CoL Frank Anderson, has gone on ( the books as saying that his team will win the trian gular meet with Rice and Baylor here Saturday afternoon. Although both Rice and Baylor are studded with stars in certain events, he believes that his well- rounded Aggie team will capture enough places to offset the losses to those stars. On the sidelines because of in juries of one type or another are three of the Aggie quarter-milers, but strange as it may seem, the Aggie mentor still thinks he can take points in the events that they would normally run in. Most coach es would say that this alone would lose the meet for them, but Col. Anderson says that it will hurt the score, but will not lose the meet. The track meet gets under way at 2 o’clock Saturday afternoon. us farther down in the order of finishing,” he says. Hopes for first places for the Aggies will be centered around Jack Riley, letterman freestyler from Wills Point; Allen Self, cap tain of the 1945 and 1946 teams, and the four man relay team of Stephens, Settegast, Riley and Self, which so far - has won this event in every dual meet.
