Meet Texas In
Austin Today
The second - place Aggie
Golf Team, composed of Bart
Haltom, Travis Bryan, Jr^
John Henry, and Jack Bar
nett, will meet the conference
leading Texas University golf
ers today in Austin in a match
that will probably decide the
winner of the Southwest Con
ference championship.
At present, the Aggie team ia
only two points behind the boys
from the “40 Acres" with a total
of I?Mi points . .9he Longhorns
have 19%.
Texas has defeated Rice, 6-0;
kylor 4-2; and TCU, 8% to 2%.
lie Aggies hold victories over
Rice, 6-0; Arkansas, 5-1; SMU, 5-1
and were defeated by TCU, 4W-
t*.
Texas will be favoredj in this
meet because the matches are be
ing played on its home course and
because of its better record.
If the Aggies are successful in
scoring as many as three points
against the Texans, then the May
2 clash between Texas and Arkan
sas in Fayetteville will determine
the conference champion.

at the Kansas Relays.
Can Wirt
This is not a. definite indication
that the MisSodrians Wilt win, but
it will mean I that the Aggies will
have to step up their pace to come
in first. The A&M team is consid
ered better than their number one
time indicates, for they have yet to
be pushed by any teiim since the
season opened. Last Syear at Des
Moines, they turned in a 8:15.2,
and the boys from the “Show Me”
state may be just what it takes
to push| them into it again. ‘
George Kadera of Aggieland, is
considered a top contender in the
discus throw, along ! with Byrl
Thbmpsort from Minnesota. Thomp
son, a sophomore, ha^ tossed the
platter a distance of 169 feet, 2%
inches, this year. This' is just
inch better than Kqdera’s best.
These lads should mhke quite a
