to keep the Aggie tracksters on
their feet. One gets the impres
sion that he is about to pull out
a whip and crack it at some poor '
defenseless half-miler who sat
down after taking only twelve
laps.
But such really isn’t the case, r
Ray Putnam is, one of the most i'Ct j
speeted and well liked coaches iii !
the business. If you were to aSk
some of the members of the Aggie :
track pquad what they Chink about
j their assistant coach they would
spend the next thirty minutes!
making flowery speeches about his
knowledge and ability.
One instance which will prove |
Putnam’s ability concerns A&M’s
great quartermiler, Art Ham
den.

It seems that one day during his
’reshmhii year while working out
or the track team, Harnden, who
iS tacit specializing in the 220
and who had no idqa that he. would
some day be A&M’s: best quarter-
miler, was approached by Putnam.
Putnam asked Harnden, if he
)4v t \t ii,*.) i . • ' would run the 44D with a group! of
4 . , I l 1NAM, A&M.s assis- j quartermilers. Harnden obeyed the
ant tra^k coa<th, has ^doite a - request with amazing results. Art

■ _ not spectacular, Putnam convinced

From, that day on Hamden's J
specialty has been the quarter- J
mile. That little incident con- I
vinced Art that lie was a MO j
nian.
‘In addition to his coaching du
