ball team.
Ag Gagers Gain
Added Acclaim
Both Jewell McDowell and
Johnny DeWitt came in for
further acclaim over the
Weekend as two more all-star
selections listed the two Ag
gies among those honored.
Jinx Tucker placed Little Mac
on his Waco Tribune-Herald All-
Conference first team together
with Don Heathington. of Baylor
and Paul Mitchell of SMU at the
forwards, Tom Hamilton of Texas
at center, and Gene Schmidt of
TCU at the remaining guard post.
Tucker had this to say about the
A&M star: “ . . . start' With Jewell
McDowell of the Aggies, T«Vm
Hamilton of Texas, and then start
guessing.”
He continued: “Jewell McDowell
of A AM was the best all-around
basketball player in the conference.
He hud u great eye for the basket.
His bull handling was superb, his
all-around floorwork and general 1 -
ship were brilliant, and He was an
accurate shot.”
Tucker placed DeWitt at center
on his .third team, where Long
Jbhn joined brother Bill of the
Bears, a veteran guard.
From Abilene Came the other ac
colade for the two. ACC named
DeWitt to a forward post and
MrDowell to a guard position on
its i all-opponent team. Herman
Moore of Howard Payne joined-
MrDowell at-.the guard slots- while
DeWitt was teamed with Lou Zas-
toupil of Texas Wesleyan. TCU’s
George McLeod was the top choice
at center. '
It wasn’t until the fifteenth hole
that Darby caught his opponent
and theii on the sixteenth hole the
Farmer golfer shot a birdie-two to
take the lead.
Darby followed his lead closely
defeating Hoff on the. seventeenth
and eighteenth holes to turn what
looked like a 3-3 tie into a 4-2
victory -for the home team.
Led by their No. 1 man, Aggie
team members took two more sin
gles and one double match as high
scores were the order of the day
because of the cold, windy weath-

In thq singles events Darby de
feated Hoff, 2-1; J. C. Fletcher,
A&M, won over Bud Davis, 5-3;
Tom Aitken. A&M, outputted Mil-

/ ,/T j
Both Oklahoma A&M 1 ami Rice .
have mile relay teams capable of |
bettering the Olympics mile relay
record set by Taxes A&M Inst year
of 3:17.1.
Rice’s quarter ran- the event in
3:13 in the Los Angeles Colesium
relays last year, and the Oklahoma
A&M foursome won the Sugar
Bowl rplay las^ New Year’s Day.
One Of the closest races In this
year’s Olympics is expected in the
University division half-mile. The
winner of the race may break
the formidable record of 1:55.6 set
by Wayne Uideout of North Texas
State in 1938.
; Rice has twio men * who have
come close to that record. Otha
Byrd won the Southwest Con
ference championship 880 in 1:55.9
last year and teammates Jim Hoff
was only a step behind in 1:56
flat.
Ortiz Another Possibility
Alexander Ortiz of Texas A&M
ran the 880 in 1:57 on a slow track
in a dual meet with North Texas
State last week.
Another runner given a good
chance of setting an 880 record is
Mike Mercado of East Texas State.
Only border Olympics field ev«lt
record which appears likely to fall
is the shot put mark of 46 feet
11 inches. Big George Kadera of
Texas A&M, who set the record in
1948, will be back to attempt to
break it.
Bob Walters of Texas and Vern
McGrew of Rice have both jumped
higher than the 6 feet 7’/i inches
high jump record set by Pete Wat
kins of Texas A&M in 1943, hut,
neither is expected to go that
high this early in the season.
Walters Topped World
Walters jumped 6 feet 8 3/1G in
ches in the Kansas (relays, last
year, the highest of any human
in the worjd in 1949.
Charley ? Parker, the UniVersity
of Texas sprint star who holds
three border Olympics recorlds and
shares another, is rated a good
chance of breaking his own 220-
yard dash mark of 21.1 seconds
which he set last year.
Perry Samuels, defending South
west Conference champion in the
100-yai((d - dash, ran a 9.7 century
in a Texas practice meet lust week
ami will be favored to take the
border Olympics race.
