T.u. Shades Aggies for SWC Track Title
Ziegler Wins Two Distance Events;
Harnden Beats Kidd in 440 and Relay
The Texas university Longhorns placed in every event
except the 220 low hurdles Saturday to win the Southwest
Conference track and field championship for the third con
secutive year.
A fighting Texas A. & M. squad
took five first places to the Tea-
sippers’ three and a tie, but were
short on the place and show win
ners that make up the difference
in a close track meet. Of the
Aggies’ five first places, two were
won by Johnny Ziegler and one
each by Arthur Harnden and'.Boh
Goode, while Harnden ran the an
chor lap on the mile relay team
which provided the other first.
Total points for the Aggies were
46^2, while the Austin team scored
53%.
Running on a soggy track and
in damp, brisk weather, the 1946
Conference performers not only
failed to crack any existing rec
ords but failed in most events to
approach the previous best times
of the season. Lawler of Texas and
Martineson of Baylor each tied the
conference mark of 9.5 seconds in
the 100-yard dash in Friday’s
qualiyfing heats, but the event
was won in 9.9 on Saturday, with
Martineson finishing third behind
Lawler and Arkansas’ Aubrey
Fowler.
Ziegler won the mile run in
4:33.5, and came back to run a
beautiful race in the two mile
event, edging out T. C. U.’s Ed
Donlan by two steps in a hotly
contested finish. His time in the
two-mile run was 10:15.0. Blond
haired Arthur Harnden beat off T.
u.’s Desmond Kidd in the time of
49.1 in the 440, and beat off a
determined effort by Kidd in the
last lap of the mile relay to hold
a lead picked up by Benson on
the first circuit. Rob Goode’s
throwing arm was good for a win
ning toss of 178 feet, 11' inches in
the javelin throw. Hill won the
Aggies’ only second place with a
leap of 23 feet in the broad
jump. A. &M. won six third places
and placed two men in a six-way
tie for third in the high jump.
Three Aggies won fourth places,
while two others were included in
a four-way tie in the pole vault.

Mustangs Finish Strong To
Beat Aggies 11-10 in 11 Innings
In a hectic, free-scoring contest, the Texas Aggie base
ball team took another step down the Southwest Confer
ence ladder Friday, dropping an 11-10 decision to the cel-
larite S. M. U. Mustangs in 11 innings.
The Ponies got to Earl Beesley
for four runs in the third, but the
Aggies came back with five tal
lies in their half to take the lead.
The Cadets scored two more in the
fourth and two in the sixth, but
the Mustangs ran across four in
the seventh. Beesley left the game
in the seventh, and was relieved
by Newman. In the eighth, the
Ponies scored again when New
man hit the batter with the bases
full.
A. & M. went into the ninth
trailing by one run, and the fans
were leaving the stands with two
down and two strikes on Pressly,
when the Aggie third baseman
poled a homer over the left field
wall. Peck Vass singled and went
to second on an outfield error. Hub
Moon then singled sharply to right,
and Red Maley’s perfect throw-in
caught Vass at the plate to retire
the side.
The Aggies loaded the bases
again in the tenth, but failed to
score. In the eleventh Whatley
walked for the Ponies, took second
on Clyce’s single, stole third and
scored on Womack’s long fly to
left field. The Aggies failed to
tally in their half, and the ball
game was over.
Walt Willingham, playing cen
ter field for the. Aggies, led the
batting attack, getting a homer,
a triple and a single in five trips.
Pressly hit three for six, including
his timely homer and a double, and
Cotton Lindloff hit two for three,
including one double. Beesley al
lowed 9 hits and 8 runs in 6 2/3
innings, whiffing four Ponies and
issuing three walks and one wild
pitch. Newman walked four and
allowed one hit and three runs in
4 1/3 innings, and was charged
with the loss. Napier was the
winning pitcher for S. M. U.
