The Purple Rulayp record which he holds is 21.8 seconds, and he holds the state high school record at 21.4 seconds. His Purple. Relays and state markH break the national School boy record, and the 22.1, at the district meet ties the old mark. This gained him a spot on the "Look” All-Am^ricHu. Not to be satisfied with merely breaking records, Paul also earned 24 points at last year's state meet to become high point man. In do ing this, he added a fourth in the 220 to hie firsts in both hurdles events. Track is not his only high school accomplishment either. Along with the five numerals he holds in track he can also claim four in footbjali, two in basketball, and one in base ball, as his own. To top all this participation in' sports, there is also a little matter of an ‘A’ aver age in classes which is also in the record book. Three Won For A&M Since coming to Texas A^tM, Leming has been entered In three contests and has come out with his record unblemished. In so doing he has won both the low and high hwdle* at the Fort Worth M eet and a dual meet with the Short horns of Texas University. He also took first place in the high hurdles at the Texas Relays. The high and low records of the freshman division at the Fort Worth Meet j now belong to the young Aggie hurdler, and along with that,; the 22.9 seconds in which he tripjped off the low hurd les against Texas University bet ters the existing conference record. Still not satisfied with merely making accomplishments on the track, Paul clipped off his class room work for the fall semester with three grade points for every hour, and -is making nothing ess than a ‘B’ this semester. To make it doubly hard for him »nv led himself up in the person of son of Beaumont,i who he married last January! At j the time of this interview, he seemed perfectly happy with thd arrangement.

The Austin/ High School Maroqns fell befoi;e the frosh tea- sips twice, whil^ the high school nine ran oyer the Yearlings in an other contest. Texas’ stir freshman Kal Seg- rist, Adamson great, who was vot ed the roost valuable player in high school baseball last season, smacked two home runs in the Blinn game. The talented second baseman also hit a home run off Bob Tankersley in the Fish-Year long game in Austin last Monday. Coach Paul Andrew will prob ably send either Bill Bybee or Sam Blanton to the mound, hut Bob Tankcnduy, who limited the Tex as fresh to three hits in the last contest, will be ready and waiting if one of these hurlers get into serious trouble, The Fish, to date, have only lost two tjoiitfsts.
