For Relays
(From the Dallas News)
If there is any eaay Way to
win a mile relay race, this may
be it.
Mike Mercado, East Texas
State’s star trade man who an
chored the college’s winning re
lay team at a meet ift Denton
Saturday, says it was completely
unrehearsed.
■Leading the race by some eight
yards, Mercado heard the sec
ond-position runner, a North Texas
Stateman, call out for him to slow
up.
“Are you going to slow up, too?”
Mercado yelled back and the a ns
wer came back, “Yes.”
Running into a stiff wind and
realizing that no records could
be broken, Mercado eased up-; the
man behind him did likewise. At
the last turn the North Texas
runner called, “Now hit it,” and
both, speeded up for the home
stretch with Mercado winning by
the same eight yards.
