Two men st&pd a chance to beat Wat
kins’ record in the high jump. 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. Both of these are Imsed
on the supposition thiit both Charley Par
ker and John Robertson of the Texan!
team are fully recovered from their pulled
muscles. . : ,
