Eleven records were broken. Five of the new marks were better than either SWC or Big Seven records. The onslaught of the records j was in itself a record, for the over- aU performers werathe best turned in for any collegiate meet in the nation this year. Husky Mel Sheehan of Mis souri opened the assault on the records by twirling the discus 167 feet 7' 4 inches in the first of two events held at Reverchon i Park Friday afternoon. In the second event Frank Guess of Texas also set a new mark by ! Wlnn'ng the javelin throw with a Record of 200 feet 11 *4 inches. Other new records were set later in the afternoon.

In the 10 games he has pitched this year, he has given up but 23 hits but only one earned run. Five feet 10 inches fall and weighing 160 pounds, Path uses, a speed ball most of the time. His control is phenomenal, Coach Fe lix Neal insists. His hitting is as good as his pitching. He has a .470 average. In r one gamp he rapped out a single, three doubles and a triple, driving home six runs. Neal, a 1943 graduate of Mis sissippi State where 'he played football, 'basketball and baseball, says Pate is almost as good a football halfback and basketball forward as he is a diamond pitch er. The youngster plans to finish • school at St. George High, and' possibly attend college. ■ He re fuses to say whether he wants a professional baseball career. Neither of his older brothers has ever played professional base ball, nor has his widowed father, W. A.

I A little nutter of a guarantee posted | in New Jersey assures Graziario, the WirtdrewcighFchlump, of at least $120,000. The ex-champ from Gary, Ind. will get $60,000 or more. Despite early optimistic esti mates of a Ruppert Stadium I gate of p450;000, it] looks now as though they’ll settle for $350,000. At !J30 tops ihe hqtise is scaled for a $540,000 sellout. Apparently the eight-year youth advantage of Graziano, who is 26 to Zaie's 34, is the most important factor with those who bet on fights. Rocky was established as an early favorite and remains 5 to 12 despite the late hour.
