With a little improvement Simpson will be making that 14’ thatr he has so narrowly ntissed in two meets and the Southwest will again be among the nation’s best in. the pole vault. , Graves with two years of eligi bilify remaining can reach that |\ 14-foot mark and with a little more experience should jump 13’ 6” this yeaf. i r : The third member of the pole yault team is Elmo Wade wpo has been consista: ally bright with soph Davis and Graves in that event Davis, the «’ 8" star basketball center, is loaded with natural tal- eht and needs only work on form and coordination before he'll be jumping Kis own height. His only defeat this year cotpe in the Rice dual meet when Vera McGrew, conference champion, leaped 6’ 0’’ to Buddy’s 6’ 4”.

The old record Of 1,206 en trants from 120 schools was estab lished in 1938. Brajrging Texans had little to brag about after last year’s relays. In the university class, the state produced only one winner and two runners-up in. the seven relay events. Tne lone winner was Texas A&M in the mile relay. It should.be a different story for the I/Orie Star State this year. Ribe will be favored in the mile this year with A&M a strong con tender.
