Steers Take Swimming Meet
At Austin by A Wide Margin
SCOTTY SWINNEY
A very fine South-west Confer
ence Swimming Meet was held in
Austin. The score dff the meet is
no direct indication of the ex
citement that held the crowds that
packed the stands ef the Texas
University pool.
Many of the races] though add
ing-more points to the 107 gained
by Texas 'University iii winning
the meet, were thrill packed an
close tp give the cnpWd something
to yel|. about.
It was the old stoify of the best
balanced team that Won this tour
nament for the Steets. Their clos
est contestants were the Texas Ag
gies with some .50: points, but
though they were far behind in
score, the boys from jAggieland put
up a. terrific fight and are to be
praised for their effdrts.
Eight records wer^ added to the
books after the three days of rac
ing. Four of these came about
through the addition jof new events
or the changing of 'distances, and
yard freestyle when Danny swam
the distance in 2:14.6, almost beat
ing Eddy Gifiiert of Texas, who
swam a 2:14.|>. Danny’s race was
the better from many points of
view, because it was the first time
that he had swam the 220 in com
petition in two yeafs.
Danny went on from that race
to swim the anchor leg on the
Farmers record breaking 400 relay
tCam and to place second in the
1^0 yard. freestyle. These points
added to those he made in the 220
race made Danny the high point
njab of the Aggie squad.
The Aggie* were the strongest
in the 200 yard breaststroke, where
they placed three men in the first
five places. George Dieck, who was
relatively unknown around the Ag
gie camp at the first of the sea
son came in third for the Farmers
while another unknown Tiger Moye
placed fourth. Gene Summers camr
in fifth to wind up the Aggie^eqr-
jing in that event. ' V v
A great fighter who deserves
ijiention in ftnyones column is
the other four weije set on oid ( Frank Campbell of Texas Univer-
races. The only two : records which sity. Some weeks ago Frank was
were left standing V-ere those set torn up pretty badly in a contest
by Danny Green of Texas A&M in
the 50 and 100 yard freestyle.
Danny Green, captain of tl)e Ag-j
gie squad, finished.mis swimming
career for the Aggies in a blaze
of what should have been glory,
hut was lessened ill the eyes of
most fans by the! fact that he
djdn’t win first placja.
All of this came aj>out in the 220

Texas University stripped an
other Aggie track championship
away Saturday on the sandy oval
of Farrington Field in Ft. Worth
59V4-5714- This time it was the Ft.
Worth track and field meet title.
Even after the Longhorns seemed
to havd lost the meet in a hard
luck accident during the 440 yard
sprint relay, they hung on to their
early margin to come through on
top.
A&M had to fight to come
from behind all the way after
they were blanked in the early
events. Before three events were
ended the Longhorns had a 15
poinfp margin that the Cadet
team was never able to narrow.
Both of the top scoring teams did
not scratch in the first event on
the program, the 120 high hurdles.
A&M’s Bill Cardon, not expected
to compete earlier in the week due
to a pulled muscle, almost reached
the finish line ahead of John Vails
of Baylor.
Charley . Parker of the Orange
and White squad was clearly
superior for the race over his
closest rival, Phul Bienz of Tu-
lane, in the 100 yard dash. The
officials ruled that Tony D’Am-
brosia of Baylor placed behind
Bienz for third place, but to
other observers it appeared Per-
? r Samuels, John Robertson of
exas, and Bill Napier of A&M
finished ahead of the Bruin. Rob
ertson was placed fourth hy the

10 -3 Saturday
High scores were notable by
their absence Saturday as the Ag
gie Bowlers turned back, the Bay
lor keglers, 10-3, in the “Y" Al
leys. Neither team was able to
t iroduce a single two-hundred bow
er, and Fred Wilson’s 181 was the
high score for the day.
The Aggies were never in trou
ble after the first game w‘hen they
grabbed a quick lead of 3-0. Three
Baylor bowlers failed to show up,
and one team duel and three dou
bles matches were played.
Aggies M. L. Lunceford team
ed with Claude Lee to take two
out of three doubles matches
from Johnny Barger and Dan
Hilliard of Baylor. They dropped
the second game to Baylor by
only seven pins. r
Play in the team games, was
noticable by its low scores. The
visitors had the excuse of bowl
ing on the poor A&M alleys, but
the home team had no balm for
its red face.
Fred Wilson Won an enchillada
dinner from Smitty’s Cafe by post
ing the high total, 496, for three
games. Emmett Trant won a pack
age of potato chips for posting the
low score. Trant also had the high
est number of splits, five, but made
spares out of three of them.
The first team, composed of
Wally Dixon, Marvin Hagemeier
Fred Wilson. Ray Lyon and Bob
Williams, made a total of 2330
points to 2124 for Baylor, and
won all three lines.
R. L. McClure and Emmett Trant
beat Barger and Hilliard two of
three matches in doubles play, but
lost another point on the total
score for the three lines\
In the final match of the day,
Bubba Williamson and Art Howard
split two games with Jim Cornell
and Eddie Brown of Baylor.
On the visitor’s side of the led
ger, Jim Cornell was high

Hard luck moved upon Texas in
thf sprint relay when the third
men in the relay, Chesahir, pulled
a muscle after a bad pass of the
baton. The Texas team wa* not
able to finish the race. Bill Napier
came in yards ahead of the Baylor
anchor man.
j Old Dame Fortune seemed to
continue to smile upon the Ag
gies during the first eight of
the hurdles in the 220 yard lows
then proceeded to. change her
mind and knocked the daylights .
out of the team. First came the
good fortune as John Rowland uHr
SMU hit the seventh hurdle and
sprawled on the track to leave
the.’ field clear tor Don' Cardon
or A&M to come in second be
hind his team mate, Bob Hail.
And then came the brick bats.
Cardon hit the last hurdle of the
race, hit the track, got up, and
walked across the finish line to j
come in fourth by a process nC;i
elimination. Only five men had
started in this event. A Texas
ntan placed third. That cost the
Aggies two points, enough to
tie the meet
With three event results to go,
the Aggies needed nine points to
tie the count. They gained four of
these points in the low hurdles,
leaving only five points needed in
the 880 yard run and the mile re
lay, the latter could be considered
a cinch two points.
Sophomore Lowell Hawkinson,
former distance ;champ from IU1*
mils, saved the day for the Long
horns by placing ahead of G. W.
(’lark ofi^V&M for third place in
tho 880, widening the margin to
six points and making it impos
sible for the Aggie to win the
meet. Texas finished a poor fourth
in the mile relay. ‘ 1
