Fort Worth Wan
A&M, Texas Bae
Fort Worth, Tex., March 20—
bP*—The Southwestern Recreation
Track and Field meet got along
pretty well F without Texas and
Texas A&M but you can bet youir
bottom dollar every effort will be
made to get them back.
Texas and A&M skipped'the big-
cinder path carnival last week-iend
because they were disgruntled < ve|r
the condition of the track last y|eat.
The track was fixed but Texajs
A&M already ha.d made plans fdr
other meets.
Seven records were put into
books in this year’s meet and th
helped a lot. In fact, it was a veijy
good meet and the times and dis
tances compared favorably |dtih
those of other years.
The absence of Texas and A&M
made it possible for Baylor to win
the university division champion
ship. It was the first time in rr aijy
years that any team other ihgn
the Longhorns or Aggies had wqn
the title. Baylor made 48 5/6
points. Arkansas was second with
38. • ‘
North’Texas State swept up the
college division with 70 point
almost 50 points better than run
ner-up McMurray. Schreiiier took
the junior college title with 44j 1/3
points to 29 5/6 for Texas Scjuth-
most of Brownsville. Oklahom4 A.
and M. captured the college fresh
man title with 50 points to 20 for
Texas Christian.
Odessa won its second njajor
championship in two weeks in the
Tugh school class. .Winner at the
Border; Olympics; Odessa swept up
the title here with 22 points. Sun
