Tom Cox is the main threat of
the Owl's to the Aggie supremacy
in the 440 yard dash. Last week,
CoxJ was close-on Ray Holbrook’s
eels arf the latter ran the quarter
47.8 seconds. Cox is the first

battie for second in th^ discus be
tween Ed Hooker of the Aggies
and Joe Watson, the great center
ion the Rice Football team. Last
week Watson nosed Hooker out.
But Hooker got a point in the meet
anyway when he entered the high
jumf> and took fqurthr place.
;In the freshman competition,
the continuation |of the duel be
tween high hurdlers, Paul Leming
;cf the Fish, and Bill Howton of
the Slimes should draw the most
1)1-1 attention. Howtpn is a (rangy red-
4 head from Plaipview. Last fall
Howton was one of the outstand
ing ends on the lists of the fresh
man teams in the Southwest Con
ference.
Leming was the high school AU-
American hurdler from Beaumont.
While Hhwton’s main event is the
hi&hs, Leming might turn in a
better performance in the low hur
dles.
Another close competition might
develop in the pole vault between
the Fishs’ Don “Sleepy” Graves
and Mike Michon of the young
Owl*. Michon was the fullback who
took a bite out of the arm of Bill
Tidwell in the football game in
Houston last fall. Tidwell retalia
ted with a punch to the jaw.
Last year Michon, who hails
from IKerrville, and Graves, a
Brownwood product, were two of
the outstanding schoolboy vaulters.
Graves is also a good performer in
the high jump and the high hurd-
les.
Teddy Riggs, also a member of
the Rice freshman football team
last year, is another fine perform
er on the cinders for the blue and
gray. Riggs was clocked in a 9.8
hundred while running for Pear
sall a year ago. Last fall he oper
ated from the left halfback post
on the Slime eleven.

Homo veteran observers talked
oVer the situation here recently.
Kyw could come dp with an answer.
i“l can’t understand it,” says
D(ek Met*, a veteran of, 19 years
along the' tournament trail. “It
seems to me with allj the compeU-
tion now, the youngsters, with
treater spirit and stamina, should
ie in the limelight."
George Schnelter, PGA tourna
ment manager, gives this view:
“Twenty years ago there were
few tournaments. Golf was in con
siderable disrepute. , The profes
sionals didn’t train and didn’t prac
tice. No one had seen the possi
bilities of the groat tournaments

fence.
With this scoj-e against them,
the Aggies camp to life in the
third. Two were t way, when Russel
Mays reached first safely on Sham-
blin’s fumble of kn easy grounder.
Guy Wallace senjt him to third on
a sharp single to)deep center. WaL
ly Moon walked) and both Mays
and Wallace sprinted home when
Longhorn shortstop A1 Joe Hunt
threw high to first baseman Tom
Hamilton.
That was as far as the Aggies
could go until their last time at ]
bat. Texas Pitcher Murray Wall
kept the Farmers hemmed in till
then. Only in thie fifth and eighth
frames did A&M batters get into
a scoring position.
In their half of the ninth, G oac h
Marty K,arow sent in pinch batters.
Calvert singled in Graham’s place
and Bill Dennis took his place on
the base pads. Joe Savarino fol
lowed him with another bingle.
After Mays grounded out, Wallace
slapped a fading double to center
that Dan Russell couldn’t handle
and i Dennis s4opqd.
Savarino galloped home with the
last A&M run a second later on
Wallace Moon’s infield hit.
The roof caved in on Morisse in
the fqurth. Steer hitters tapped
him, for six hits awl eight runs,
four longhorns batted twice. iPffO
Aggie errors didn’t help him any.

BALTIMORE — The athlete
lengthened his stride as he neared
the finish line of the cross country
race. Rounding the final bend at
top speed, he crashed into a tree,
staggered to the ground and lay
there.
“What’S the matter with that
guy ? Is he blind ? ” asked a spec
tator. •\' -\ !••/.
“Yes,” replied another, “he’s
blind.”, . . \|'1
This incident took place about
nine years ago during the Mary
land Scholastic Association’^ an
nual meet. The runner, barely able
to distinguish night from day with
out his spectacles, represented the
Maryland School for the Blind. He
suffered only minor injuries.
Since then the school has aban
doned cross country competition
and concentrated on wrestling—and
is holding its own against all com
ers.
Take Gene Spurrier. Blind since
birth, this 20-year-6ld perijormer
is the cream of the current crop Of
wrestlers at the school. He won the
128-pound championship recently
in a tourney sponsored by the East
ern Athletic Association for the
Blind.
Over a four-year period he has
placed second once and third three
times in the Maryland scholastics
—open to all high school wrestlers.
■ Spurrier says there isn’t a whole
lot of difference between wrestling
a blind opponent and wrestling one
who can see.
“Qn my feet I’m mostly a coun-
tor-wrestler, so I don't do too much
until we hit the mat ... But onte
