Bearden, perhaps the most ex

a minor league career.

This has been shown in their

Whatever the reason, Kadera’s
performance Monday (he also
hit 169 feieUon one toss and was
over 165 on several others)
stamps him not only as a dis
tinct threat to the present SWC
record; b«|t as a standout Olym-
I pic prospect as well.
The ohly drawback to what
might hive been the answer to
Coach Ffank Anderson’s prayer
for a mi^n to rival Texas’ Charlie
Parker, is that the sprinter in
question was not wearing «n Ag

He. is Wendell Davis, 17-year-o|d

Davis has an enviable record of
