One long standing record was QMC’s Hink was first man
shattered and another one put in across the ^ap< in the third heat
danger in < Monday’s preliminaries
of the Intramural Track Meet.
To Glenn Lippman, El Campo
backfield star, went the honor of
setting a new record representing
A AUiletic. Lippman competed in
the broad jump where he leaped 22
feet, one inch.
This cracked the previous record
of 21 .feet, inches, made by
Tominy fT. Terrill, ^ho was a mem
ber of the Band^bdck in 1933 when
he jumped^for this distance. Ter
rill is now; an instructor in the CE
Department and present Aggies
are aptvto know him for his ac
tivity thare, rather than on the
track cinders.
Bob Canine of F Air Force was
second in the event, jumping , 21
feet, i Inches. James Page of A
Cavalry wisy third; his distance
was 81 feet, 21* inches, Don Camp*
hnll of U Flight placed fourthTa
the running with a 21) foot, tUv
inch Jump,
A AUnello's MHO relay team fin*
Ished their distance in
whirh it. hut four tenths of a sec*
ond nrt the record made in Iasi
year’s khu relay.
Competition in the 440 yard dash
was tlie first predim* to get un
derway. Hiatt of While Hand won
the first heat in 66.1. He was fal
lowed' hy Goodwin of Maroon Hand
and Cover of ATC.
The second heat was taken by

behind him and Higens of C Field
gained u place in the finals by

HioUmig's showing is u sample
of the work that has polled the
Phillies out of the doldrums by
their bootstraps. One map or other
has picked up the slack that an

carried the burden for a time,

the breach. When the club needed
a shot in the arm, Eddie Mdler,
Gran Hamner, Puddinhead Jofes,
Richie Ashburn, Andy Semihick
and Bill Nicholson all took a hand.
The pitching improved immen
sely. For the first two weeks, only
Kenny Heintzelnmh was able to
