Kadera will be fav ored to liakc top honors in h ’h these' events again in this year’s conferehce meet in Fayetteville Friday and Saturday. Kadetja could possibly break one conference record this weekend. The present discus mark of 13, 2Vi’’, set by Texas’ Jack Hughes in 1940, has been bettered by Ka dera „ on several occasions. Las': year the Aggie trackstcr ranked with the best in the najtmn when he tossed the discus 17.1!’ 1” in a dyal meet with Oklahoma A&M. The Houston star-'has! one morj .year of eligibility left at A&M. otanamgs . Back in 1925 Sandi Esquivel ran o-mile race in 9 :32.4 while wearing the orange and white of the University of Texas. J. D. Hampton of the Aggies is a hot bei to break this 24-year-old mark, and also the mile record set by Jerry Thompson of Tejtas in 1947. This record is 4:20.2. Hampton went both of these distances in under-the-record times at the triangular meet ih Corpus Christi, K<«]cr<i Threatens Discus Mark George a distinct threat to the 47.8 t'lO-yard record set by Hell of Rice 111 1041. Ho! brook might also anchor the mile re team r into a new record in that even Texas University has held this recoi since 1938. A&M already holds the records in two 1 of the 16 conference track and field events. 1 Pete Watkins, the greatest high jumper in the history of the Southwest Confer ence, and by far the most consistent, holds 1 ” made i»^1943. Boyce “Honk” Irwin set the con ference shot record in 1934 with a push of 50’ 2 1 4”. This is the third oldest record standing.

Both Bob Walters of Texas and Vern McGrew of ’ Rice have cleared that height before, al- H though they have not been consistent at it. If John Robertson of Texas is com pletely recovered for the meet, he might push the broad jump record of 24’ 9%”. Below are two opinions as to the out4 come of the individual events In the meet. On the left the way Wilbur Evans, the Texas sports publicity writer, sees the meet ending. On the right are the rcnult* as the Battalion Sports Staff thinks they; might wind up.
