Adamson joined teammates Bill Karow and Bill Sargent in cracking a record held since 1947 by the Cadet trio of Howard Spencer, Jimmy Flowers, and Danny Creep. Swimster Trio Claims ‘Star’ Honors with Win Star of the Week for athletic competition from Feb. 6 to Feb. 11 Was not an individual, hut a team -t-the 300-yd. medley relay swim ming unit. The Battalion sports staff se lected the trio of crack mermen, Bill Sargent, Bill Karow, and Van Adamson, because of the relay’s feat of setting a new pool record of 3:(>6 in Its event last Friday. Clipping four-tenths of a sec ond from the previous P. L* Downs, Jr., Natnthrium mark, the three tankmen came within seven- tenths of a second of the South west Conference record of 3:05.3 set by Texas last spring. The earl ier campus time had been held by a combine of backstroker Howard Spencer, breaststroker Jimmy Flowers, and freestyler Danny Green since 1947. The new time was established as the Cadet aquatic squad nip ped the Northwestern Louisiana splashers 38-37, by winning the final event of the evening. All of the relay members contributed valuable points in their indivi dual specialties as well as through relay wins. Karow Tops Butterfly-strokers Karow slapped the tiled-edge of the pool first in the 200-yd. I breaststroke for five points. He was timed at 2:36 for the dis tance. Adarhson annexed the number j one spot in the 440 freestyle to pull the Farmers within six points, of the Northwesterners. The lanky speedster did the distance in 5:25, and in the next race, the fipal com petition of the night, 400-yd. free style relay took )the seven point first place to win the meVt. Sargent, in addijtion to perform ing on the victorious 400-yd. group, was second in thje 100-yd. back- stroke, only a hand behind the winner. J > M Two Cagers Ranked High Top contenders for the honors during the period were <ngers Walt Davis and Bill Turnbow. Da vis was the “little jinan!’ who broke Baylor’s back when he twice stole passes from sopjh Ralph John son of the Heaps, galloped up court, and tallied on successful crip shots. The Nederland! rebotmder Oon- trolled . the defense backboard when the Cadets made their belat ed second half eothebaek and kick ed in 16 points tb further contri bute to the Bruin downfall: Against SMU’s Mustangs Turn- bow turned in one of his best per formances of the campaign; he led the Maroon offense with nine markers and also played well on defense. Although the team un fortunately was off for the night, the Perrin hustler did his best to aid the Ags to overcome the hotne- court advantage of the Ponies, and the locals came within six points of doing just that. Breaststroker Bill Karow churns his way through ]the waters in another winning race. Young Karow. besides winning the 290-yd. breast stroke eVent last Friday, joined teammates Van Adamsok and Bill Sargent in a record-setting 3CjO-yd. medley relay performance. Sargent, a very capable performance, took second in his soc ially at 100 yards to add to the Cadet point to- j..' tal. The Battalion photographers found Sar gent’s speed deceptive and failed to get a good shot of him, so there was no picture, available for . , publication. /I Fish Cagers, Slim es Tangle Tomorrow Night in Houston SIMMEN 11 • Seasonal Jeading scorer Leroy* 1 „i, . . , , .,i; 1 i , Miksch will ; hold down the s)Jarft Saturday night will mark the ing post assignment for the Kish. !
