out of the past five years ! But

In every niect to date at least
. one of the two has made 13’ and on
•!i r two occasions Simpson has gone
if - i over that mark by jumping 18’ 6”
and 13’ 4” while: Graves made 13’
In both pf the same instances! j
Simpsons Height Exception
SimpWi’s 13’ 6” ;is exception
ally goo*-in this area, and this is
the first year since 1941 that
a Southwest Conference pole
vaulter has jumped better than
1?*. 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”. Mc f
Grew and Davis tied at the Bor
der Olympics at 6’ 4Vi” in one of
the meet’s big surprises.

years, this would be'enough to win
a lot of meets, but with th^ stiff
competition this year, it Will be
'hard -to place at. that Height.
Should he reach, 12’ 6”, and it’s
highly likely, Wade can score
some valuable points forj A&M
before the season is over.
Watkins Still Remem'
Although the Aggies have been
weak I in-the high jump inj recent
years, the great Pete Watkins,

Texans riiay regain control of.,the
’relay events Friday and Saturday
in the twenty-third annual Texas
relays, entries for which set a new
all-time record Tuesday.
Clyde Littlefield, originator and
director of the relays, said Tuesday
1*219 individuals from 129 schools
had entered the meet. That makes
this year’s fieMi the biggest in his
tory. 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. I

The Aggies are also capable bf
