He had previously torn a muscle in the opposite leg In the Fort Worth meat. Charley Parker, who was also | Clo hurt In the Southwest Recreation meat, rub his first race since that time in the dual meet with the Rice Owls In Austin last Friday. Parker placed third in the 100, but anchored the winning sprint relay team. Perry Samuels of Texas was the winner of the race with Arthur Brown of Klee second. According to witnesses, Brown gained on harker in the last leg of thu «|wjnt; relay. j A Texas has also performed better in the mile relay in the latter part of theYseason than they did in the first meets. Last week with two of the varsity team running laps under 49 seconds, they ran the relay in under 3:21. ^Thcir freshman team doefe the distance in about the same time. Next year A&M will have only one man off of this year’s mile team back. He is Don Mitchell, the little Deer Park runner who starts for the quartet. Connie Ludwick, Ervin Bilderback, and Ray Hol brook will finish at the end/ of this season. \/ Candidates to move in the vi cies are Don Cardon, who the relay team last year; lAas performe DOUG’S CA College and 27th FF Specializing In MEXICAN I# CHICKEN FRIED STEAK AGGIES ALWAYS WELCOME \ RTY JEWELER mm mm ■ '-l 3 PCI j —4. mim;: DISHES PEAK DINNERS James Baker, wh so well for the Fish squad this year in the quarter mile. Bernard Place, who; transferred to A&M from Navarro Junior College, is another likely prospect. Place has been held out of competition this year sq that he could save a year of eligibility. He was third in the state junior college sprints here last year. The first place winner, O. B. Chesshir, went to Texas. Place ran a 49.9 in practice yes terday afternoon. This is a very promising time for a lad who has not been competing this year. If all these boys come through the Aggies might not be so weak in the 440.
