Aggie Mile Relay Squad Will FlyV To California ' The Conference., meet this week and then the ColWum Relays in Los -Angeles. That’s the schedule for Texas A&M College’s extra-good: quar- | ter-hfiilers who are claiming the national mile relay championship. The Aggies are undefeated. They have won every mile relay in which they have entered, and that includes record times in the Texas and Kansas relays and .two other meets. The Drake Relays time was the best—3:15.2—but the Aggies are capable of doing better than that. When Don Candon, Ervin Bil- derbaek, Ray . Holbrook and Art Hamden get together for .a lap apiece, tile aggregate time may drop very; close to 3:12 0. Holbrook several times line been clocked in 47.6 while running the third lap. Harnden has made it in 47.9j[ and has not been pushed in bringing the baton across the fin ish line first. Cordon, who joined the team in time to help with a 3:15.6 record in the Kansas Relays, has clicked off a 48.8. Bilderback, No. 2, has run! a 48.3. Put the four times together and you hu\y 3:12.6. Give the Aggies some good competition and the figure may drop still lower. That quartet probably will not ! form the mile relay team in the | Southwest Conference meet in Houston Saturday because (’anion ; also; is a low hurdler, but in the | Colijseum Relays at Los Angeles 1 on (Friday. May 21. those four Ag- | gie$ will bid for additional honors. The relay team and Coach An- ! derfton will, make the trip_to the Wepft Coast by plane early next week. ' M" i?
