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.

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. Pat Hubert cams in after two were .away and pdt out the fire.

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 ...
