A good breaststroker can give a team :a big advantage in the Hiledley ]Relay and the regular breaststroke swim. As was the case last week, Cpadh Art Adamsqp is worried iabobt spotting Texas these two events and still taking enough points to win. \j j " J Jack Toldr, last y.euf’s conference diving champ, is expfecteil to take diving, with his teammate, Frank Campbell, expected to place in that event also. One of the brighter spots cm the Aggie squad i* the excellent show ing this year of Jack Riley. Riley | has pushed Danny Green atitimfs iir the 50 and lOpfyard dashes. Riley finished thin) behind Tolar last week by only a few inches jin thje pool-and-a-hjdf event, but he placed second in : the 100-yard swim to give A&M what could have been the needed margin of victory. -.■j champicm, but, has not Fish-Bee Cagers Meet Shorthorns Here Next Friday Coach Johnnie Frankie’s Fish- Bee quintet will meet the Texas Shorthorns at 7:30 Friday evening in DeWare Fieldhousi, j Thp tilt had previously been sche duled to proceed the Aggie-Long horn varsity cbntest oh March 9.
